The Meridian Bier Cafe - South Ayrshire

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.

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.

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.

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.

We were hot and dry and in need of fluids.We came upon this beautiful decorated wood panelled hostelry offering food and drink.Clare was the lady in charge and immediately took on friendly approach offering fayre.We ordered drinks and snacks.Within minutes,we were furnished with refreshments.Clare showed a professional and friendly customer approach,and the wife and I were made special.Average prices were offered,and we sat and enjoyed.
