The service was poor, they had run out of mussels, the seafood was icy and had little flavour. The vegetables arrived long after the main meal and after many requests.

The only reason i am taking the time to comment is due to the fact i can not believe the people of Knowle rate it as reasonable £6 for a small wine!! i have a list which if i wanted to nip pick i would go on to mention but i wont just the burnt salmon, the over kill of stem ginger, the hair in my friends food the scrambled creme brulee, and the lack of rocket in the rocket salad, for £108.00 it left a bitter taste, not to mention the ginger repeating!!! the waiter who likes to lean! did however sort the salad and offered to change the salmon, we felt we couldn't say anything about the rest due to the other things, too much to moan about, will not be returning!! if you want to be robbed go try it, not value for money not quality cooking sorry loch fyne of Knowle.

Fabulous kippers, shame that the other things we ordered were average at best - although we have been before and it's been good, so perhaps just a one-off.

It was my first time here for a meal tonight and I couldn't fault the meal or service. I was one of a party of eight and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.

Four of us went for The Christmas menu.  We arrived at the pre arranged time and were seated and then waited to be asked about drinks. Whilst four members of staff were sorting out the decorations on the Xmas tree we continued to wait, eventually having to ask for the wine list. The mussel starter consisted of very small tasteless mussels in a curdled sauce. Steak and duck were really nice but the salmon was overcooked! Very poor for a fish restaurant.
Service was at best only ok. Why do waiting staff not realise that a smile and a bit of effort will get them a tip. Ours didn't. Puddings were all good. This is my third evening visit to Loch Fyne and I won't be rushing back. One of the party had never been before and had the fish and definitely won't be returning or recommending Loch Fyne.

The food is superb, with lovely fresh seafood. If you go during one of these restaurant's quiet times, you will have a great time - the staff do seem to struggle when it gets busy. My first visit was faultless, but a few minor service mistakes on my second visit mean the service drops from a 4 to a three for this review. A place for a special treat, but not for a quick meal on the way to somewhere else.

We have family gatherings at this restaurant 3 or 4 times a year, and it has improved its menu and its service over the last six months. We will continue meeting there for the foreseeable future.

The menu was excellent, but overall the food was tasteless.  The service was the poorest I have ever encountered.  The drinks we ordered took ages.  The side salad arrived after we had finished our meal!!

Was really disappointed by Loch Fyne. I took my girlfriend there as a surprise as she loves shellfish, she had the moules (which were over cooked, and quite frankly smelt of excrement) and the lobster which was chewy and overcooked. Our garden vegetables had to be sent back as they were stone cold.  I, however, had the steak (I don't like seafood) and found it to be one of the tastiest steaks I've had ever! Not good for a speciality seafood restaurant. Service was below average.

I went there a couple of years ago in a foursome. I remember slow clumsy and stoney-faced service, uncomfortable chairs, small tables, average food (which was pretty expensive for the content and surroundings).  Have not been back although I live locally, very unlikely to go back either!

Went there for the £10 for 2 course promotion as we'd never been before and couldn't be bothered cooking so thought we'd give it a try.  If this is an attempt to get more people in to try the food and become regulars then they really need to up the standard.  Just because it's a promotion they really shouldn't compromise on the quality as it will bring down their reputation.  We were really disappointed with the food and the service was very unfriendly.  Even at £10 we felt we'd overpaid.  We won't be going back....

The food here was the best presented and the tastiest out of all the seafood restaurants I have attended even overseas!  The only problem is that you have spotty school kids with an attitude problem trying to take your order.

The food was fantastic, very fresh & tasty, they could do with employing less spotty school kids with a bad attitude!!
