The Kilberry Inn - Argyll Bute

Just home from an evening at the Kilberry Restaurant, very friendly welcome from David and great service from the young man who waited on our table. It’s probably been said in previous reviews so I can only add to them by saying the food is sensational in a warm cosy environment. Can’t wait to return.

Warm welcome on arrival,great selection of gin to choose from and wonderful food and wine All of the dishes we had were exceptional but special mention for the lamb and halibut main course options Top notch experience on a wet stormy night will be back again before too long

First impressions count. We were driving past the restaurant early evening today and took a chance on there being a free table. We love our food and we’re always happy to spend a lot of money on a great place. However. We looked at menu at front of restaurant on main road beside the door which we weren’t sure was the “proper” entrance or not. So my husband looked through window, saw someone there and knocked. She came to door scowling as she had to remove her headphones. Husband asked politely if there was a chance of a table tonight. Response was, “No, we’re full” and she shut the door on us. There was no, “hello, how are you? Travelled far?” A table for tonight? I’m really sorry, but we’re full tonight “. At which point we would have been disappointed but planned to come again at another time. A little bit of courtesy to customers/ potential customers goes a long way. We shall not return .

What can I say, sublime from start to finish! David the convivial, knowledgeable, passionate , attentive host and Claire a phenomenal chef I’d go as far as saying an alchemist turning what could be a great dish into something magical.

We had a wonderful dinner at the Kilberry Inn on holiday with our family (children 8, 12 and 15). Oysters went down especially well and the scallops and fish were top notch. Very beautiful setting, and the sunset on the way home was out of this world. But next time we come we will stay the night. Thanks for having us!
