People had warned me that the breakfasts here in Scotland are odd, but this was very good. The waitress was friendly and I had no problem ordering. If I lived in the area I'd stop by again to see what else they have there, but the breakfast was great as it was.

It really is very nice and the food was very good. My wife and I stopped in for a late lunch and we were surprised how busy the place was, always a good sign. I can't remember what we ordered as it was a few weeks ago that we were there but I do know we enjoyed it and we would go back again. I can recommend No. 22.

I see an earlier review has said "it's not really a restaurant" and that's pretty accurate. Fine for pints and an emergency burger provided you are ok eating with plastic forks (bizarrely no knives) and kitchen paper.

Now it has metamaphorsed into a lovely, elegant diner and bar . The food was great , I had a crab linguine and my companion had a veggie pasta dish . Both were very good , served with some garlic bread and salad on the side. There is a cocktail bar situated at the entrance which has a good selection of beer on draught and wines . We actually were tempted back the following night with a group of friends to see if the standard was the same . Thankfully it was and everyone in the party enjoyed a high standard of food and service .

We decided to stop at the Jam Jar in Paisley and it ended up being one of the best restaurants that I, personally, have ever been to. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. We had a young woman and gentleman wait on us and they did an excellent job. They were polite and professional. Another gentleman (possibly the owner) came up and checked on us as well and he was also an incredibly friendly person who added to the warm and welcoming ambiance. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who is lucky enough to be in such a wonderful part of the world.

Terrific new neighbourhood pub tucked away in an historic stone walled candlelit basement. The…read morenewly opened Smoking Goat bar has been totally remodelled and the result is impressive. If you remember the much missed Fouters Bistro you won't recognise the place now! The Smoking Goat is primarily a traditional pub with cosy nooks and crannies, real ales on tap and in bottles, and a great wee bar menu. The lunchtime options feature rare breed beef burger, venison sausage sandwich, pulled pork slider, smoked haddock fishcake, black pudding scotch egg with whisky mustard and more - all pretty imaginative stuff for this part of the world! Vegetarians are valued customers and it was a rare treat to find myself swithering over the menu. I narrowed things down to the red pepper falafel or the jerk spiced portobello mushroom burger with pineapple salsa. I went with the latter and it didn't disappoint, though I could have done with a few more of their lovely crisp fries on the side. Yay for free wifi without a password. I found it impossible to get a data signal down there so it came in handy. Customer-wise this is a good spot for socialising as well as dining. There are events going on throughout the week including pub quizzes and they have a pull down screen which I think they are showing the 6 nations rugby on, though this is not a 'sports bar' and there are no TVs. This is just a personal opinion, but I'd love to see the music turned down a wee notch to make conversation easier, and the lighting turned up a wee notch so the menu can be more easily read. Despite all the hard stone surfaces the acoustics were excellent. I can see this being a good venue for the occasional intimate music gig. Recommended!

The closest thing Ayr seems to have to a hipster pub. Not in itself a recommendation but mentioned…read moreto give an idea of the general decor and atmosphere. Stocks a good range of newer beers in cans & bottles as well as having a couple of ales on handpull. Probably does cocktails to an extent. Quite a few nooks & crannies to sit in, giving it a nice amount of privacy if that's what you're looking for. I can see how the low lighting would be an issue when reading the menu but, in terms of just being in for a drink it was okay.
