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.

We were recommended to come here by a friend as we are not from the area and we were not disappointed! Very cosy nice atmosphere and the food was to die for! They made us and our toddler feel so welcome. Highly recommend the Butter...Chicken Masala!More

Had fish and chips, the batter was soggy and undercooked. The jerk lamb and sweet potato was underwhelming. So disappointing as we love having breakfast here.

We had two meals here - brunch and dinner. The menu has a good range of dishes. Food was delicious and generous. We were served by very friendly staff. In my view, this is the best place to eat in Helensburgh.

Regular spot for us. Great food, lovely & relaxed venue and friendly & helpful service. Chicken pakora & KFC dishes are delicious. Can go to eat, snack or just sit at bar for a drink. Somewhere you’d be comfortable to eat alone too. Only downside...is prices at higher end.More

We had a pre-wedding dinner here for friends before my daughters wedding and it was absolutely perfect in every way. The food as always was fresh, beautifully presented and of course served with a wonderful smile from every member of staff. The ambiance is always...lively and fun and it is the perfect venue for any celebration. The management and staff here have great attitude and commitment and it shows in every way. Grateful thanks as always for another successful event.More

First time customer. Went in for breakfast, was straight away asked what I wanted to drink. Unfortunately had to ask for menu. Ordered the Eggs Benedict. I knew I'd have to wait as there were people ahead of me waiting. It was well worth the...wait and THE best Eggs Benedict I ever had. Price about average, so no complaints there. I will definitely return.More
