Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

First off, the service was great. However, very overpriced. A small breakfast is £9.95, and they’re not kidding when they say small!! 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 potato scone, 1 egg served with toast. We both added beans on. Two small breakfasts, two side orders...of beans, two black coffees and 2 fresh orange juices came to £35.80! I’ve paid less at lunch time. The food was nice enough but not worth the money.More

Group of 7 out for a birthday dinner, food took ages (which happens) offered more drinks for which we had to obviously pay for. Staff were attentive, other tables were getting food after 20 minutes, whilst we weren’t fed 1 hour 40 in. Fajitas came...eventually £17.95!! Ridiculous pricing. Portion was small, chicken veg was over cooked and swimming in oil. Disappointing. Sisters tempura was meant to be a large portion got 4 pieces and was mooshy. Bill was also over charged by £9.30 after spending nearly £200 unimpressed offered no supplements and didn’t bother with deserts won’t be back.More

I’m most impressed with the service and atmosphere. The music is not intrusive, the waitress most attentive and the meal was superb. I made the mistake of ordering a starter and a main course, both of which would have sufficed on their own!! I think...that if I lived here in Ayr I would spend a lot of time in this restaurant. Kudos to the chef and staff.More

I have been coming here since 2004. Service has always been superb....table service for drinks years before covid. Very disappointed this evening. Food okay, tasty enough but unfortunately the service was terrible. We asked for a wine list. We were directed to a non existent...wine list and told they had only a choice of house red or white. Chose the red. Waitress returned to say we had to choose from options (eh..yeah, that is why we asked for a wine list). Anyway...food was adequate ...fajitas were quite greasy but edible. Waitress delivers food....said "who is having this...thing" ...didn't know what she was serving. Called an enchilada a crepe. Anyway.....asked for bill and asked if we could add on for a tip....sneered at disdainfully so we decided not to tip. Abysmal service. Clueless staff who cleqrly wanted to finish their shift. Worst service since coming here regularly since 2004.More

Came here years ago and had a great pizza so returned again while visiting Ayr. Managed to get a seat in a booth without having booked which for a Saturday night was very lucky although arrived early. Had pizza again which was good although toppings...could be a bit more generous. Note - a glass of wine is expensive at £9.50 a glass, our waiter Ellis offered us the meal deal of bottle of wine and a pizza for £25.00, decent value. Fast efficient waiting staff, Ellis was very friendly and helpful pointing out the deal. Good place for a quick pizza and some wine.More

Really nice inside and the food looked good. But 9.50 for a large glass of wine is absolutely shocking. Would not return.

It had been a rubbish trip to Ayr, weather and dinner poor, hotel rotten, so a lovely brunch served by cheerful staff and accompanied by very good coffee cheered us up no end, generous portions, remarkably grease free fry up. Thanks x

Just been here for blue Monday treat to console ourselves at Liz Mistrusst getting in as P.M.. Had King Prawn Tempura x 2 ( batter light crisp snd fluffy) followed by Pizza Pescatora with lovely bottle of house red then Pink Fizz cocktail ( loverleeeee)...and churros. Food amazing. Staff first class. Warm, welcoming, value for money. So difficult to find reliable quality local places with such consistent attentive service, quality of food and without the rocketing price tags so common elsewhere. Thanks to Amy and all the crew at Meridian . Looking forward to our next visit already.pMore
