Blues Bistro - East Ayrshire

The restaurant is located inside The Park Hotel. I have visited before and it is always bustling. This visit was no different - despite the crowds, they managed to find me a table for one. The food was delicious, the service was impeccable, and the bill was surprisingly low, at under £40 for three fantastic courses. Exceptional value for money. Nothing more needs to be said.

Decided to pop up the road for a wee walk , dinner and a few drinks. Didn't have a booking on a Saturday late afternoon and this was not a problem. The server explained that we could eat but they had books at 1730 so would need to table back. This was a good 2hrs away so plenty of time for us to have our meal. To start the haggis bon bons were lovely and also the path was good and plenty of it. Mains we both had the Cajun chicken breast and a side portion of skinny fries. Tasted lovely and cooked very well although we both couldn't finish it and asked for a doggy bag which was good cause we didn't want it going to waste. Had a few drinks with dinner and given the price of everything is up now I feel the bill was reasonable. Would defo return. Staff were great and as 1730 approached we paid and the server was very nice and not pressuring us to give the table back for the booked guests arrival. Thank you for a lovely meal

My husband and I booked dinner at Blues in the middle of November (to celebrate both of our birthdays). We visit the coffee shop often and haven’t actually had dinner at Blues since the location of the restaurant moved to the ground floor. We think it was a good move to relocate the restaurant. It feels more intimate and cosier. The food was fantastic, it really was. Starter, main and dessert did not disappoint. When we asked to delay the main for a wee quarter of an hour, it was no trouble. The staff were engaging and pleasant. The only reason I have given 4 stars rather than 5 is that, for us, the wine list is poor. Increase the choice of quality wines and, for me, the restaurant is easily the best in Kilmarnock. My lovely mum, my friend and I are booked on the Sunday b4 Xmas for a festive supper. Thoroughly looking forward to it…

Booked a table for lunch at 12.30pm on my wife's birthday. Arrived in time to be seated at 12.30pm and ordered drinks when we received the menus and were informed of the specials shortly afterwards. When the drinks arrived (I guess about 12.40, but I wasn't clockwatching at that point, we were asked if we would like to order, to which I replied Yes. We chatted and waited. And waited ... At 1pm I had to leave the table and approach the bar area and ask if we could please order. The reply was curt, rude and affirmative. Finally, some one arrived to take our order. I ordered the lamb rump only to be told that it wasn't available as every restaurant in Scotland was struggling to get lamb. Unfortunately the lamb rump is the first thing on the Mains list and I hadn't looked at the rest of the menu, as we hadn't been told 30+ minutes earlier when given the menus that it wasn't available. So there was a further delay in our order as I had to choose, silently fuming. We finally ordered and our food finally arrived at 13.40pm. The food was fine, but lunch was already ruined for me as I dislike sloppy service (who doesn't) and I particularly dislike being lied to (again, who doesn't). It may be true that their supplier had let them down with their lamb delivery, but the whole of Scotland? Please, your customers are not idiots, don't treat them like they are.

It's been a wee while since I visited but the food is still good and the service still friendly. The menu is really nice, food is good, service is friendly and although it was quite busy we didn't have to wait for long before it arrived. The baked Oreo cheesecake was the best cheesecake I've ever tasted in my life, as was the ice cream it came with. It was so good! Vhari who served us was really friendly.
