Chimes - Table reservation

We had a fantastic night with our family last night at Balloch. The staff was hardworking and friendly, providing excellent service. Our drink order was taken promptly, and we appreciated having a complimentary water on the table. The hot and tasty appetizers were all delicious, and there was a nice break before our outstanding mains arrived. We ordered so much food that the table was overflowing! I particularly enjoyed my Szechuan prawns - the shrimp were juicy and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. The food and drinks were reasonably priced, offering great value for money. We will definitely return to Balloch on our next visit.

We placed our order around 6:25 PM. We called at 7:35 PM and were informed that our order had just been dispatched and would take an additional 20 minutes. After waiting for 1 hour and 40 minutes, we called again at 8:05 PM as our order still had not arrived. The staff member who answered was unhelpful and rude, informing us that everyone in the restaurant, including walk-in customers, was placing orders over the phone. We do not recommend ordering from this restaurant, as it took nearly 2 hours for our food to arrive. We regret not preparing a homemade meal instead, as it would have been much quicker.

It was an absolute treat! I'd never visited this restaurant before but had heard good things about it. I decided we would try it. Service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. I had fried beef mushroom with fried rice the beef just melted...in my mouth gorgeous. Hubby had roast spring chicken regrettably the chicken was perhaps overcooked with the result it was stringy a bit tough. I had the lychees for dessert while my husband re-visited an old favourite Peach Melba which he declared was fabulous!! All in all, a very enjoyable visit it didn't cost the earth.

We had a very nice sit-in dinner at Chimes, following lifting of covid restrictions. We were greeted warmly upon arrival, and were shown to our seats right away. Service throughout the meal was fantastic. The food was very nice, but the chicken in my partner’s...satay was a bit tough (slightly overcooked. That said, it apparently tasted great. I can’t fault anything with my own meal chicken with green pepper in black bean sauce. We will be back at Chimes, and would definitely recommend.
