For a touch of vibrant freshness, the Cruize House Salad and Salt & Pepper Edamame add a delightful crunch.

Arrived yesterday evening for dinner with my partner, we ordered mains and desserts for our meal and we were very pleased with the meal overall. Mains were cooked perfectly and food tasted very fresh and desserts were absolutely delicious. Atmosphere was nice and relaxing. Will return when next in Arran

We went here for my husband’s 30th birthday and we absolutely loved it! Our server, Sian I think her name was, brought us Prosecco on arrival for my husband’s birthday and we were seated so fast! Sian was friendly and we loved talking to her! The food was also absolutely delicious and we wished we were hungry enough for dessert as we know that would’ve been amazing too! We’ll be coming back here next time we’re in Arran and I can’t wait!

I had the prawn fajitas. I'd rather have salsa with it instead of a chutney, and four small tortillas might be enough when going for a three course meal. Taste was good, but I could have done with a bit more food.

We had a fantastic dining experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff were attentive, friendly, and impressively knowledgeable about the menu. Our waitress, Faye made thoughtful recommendations and was knowledgeable of what the vegan options were. The food was excellent—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We were especially pleased with the vegan options, which were creative and satisfying, not just an afterthought. Overall, a welcoming atmosphere, beautiful setting, outstanding service, and truly great food. Highly recommend, especially for those looking for vegan-friendly choices without compromising on taste or experience.
