    Great place for casual dining. Food really nice and plenty of choices. Like most places nowadays, the price of alcoholic drinks can be pretty steep.

    As always, our meal at The Blues was superb. We reckon it's the best food in Kilmarnock, and go there at least once a month for dinner. While experience excellent.

    Delicious food. Husband had three course meal, actually don’t know where he puts it ! I had a main & sweet, which I shouldn’t have had as absolutely full after main. (Both had the peppered chicken & haggis bon bons. That’s what we had last time we visited & couldn’t not have had it 🤣) Will be back. Definitely look forward to next visit. Compliments to the chief.

    The service was outstanding tonight, which was a breath of fresh air. The server noticed that it was my birthday and had Happy Birthday written on my dessert plate in choc sauce. She also remembered what each of the party of 4 had ordered and didn't have to ask. First-class!

    We had lunch here for our friend's birthday and it was lovely. Quiet enough to talk and hear each other to enjoy catching up after not seeing each other for months. The food was delicious and looked great too. Nice touch with Happy Birthday written on my friend's dessert. Will definitely be back.

    Good was lovely. I felt however that there were too many potatoes, both mashed and fried was overkill in my opinion. Other than that the wine selection was good, the wines were lovely and the service was excellent.

    We regularly visit Blues for a meal but it was our friend’s first time. They loved it. Not rushed away from our table and food as usual was delicious. Wine is a bit expensive but I guess that a hotel price for you. We will always come back

    Overall very good. Great service. My only issue is the dessert “mango mess “ is labelled as gluten free yet it always comes with a wafer which is not. I have a gluten allergy (coeliac disease) and alerted staff to this yet it still came with a wafer. If it’s labelled as gluten free on the menu there should not be any gluten containing ingredients on the plate. Perhaps change to GFA ( gluten free option available ) and ensure kitchen remove any allergens
