    After booking a table, upon arriving staff did not realise we had booked online. When meals arrived, two or our food orders were wrong and missing food. We were told the chef would bring out the missing food however the chef did not and we had all finished our meals it was too late. Very disappointed.

    Fabulous as usual. My favourite Petite Fillet cooked perfectly. It got a bit noisy when the restaurant filled. But it is a heritage building so acoustics are always an issue difficult to manage.

    The meal was lovely but just coleslaw for salad was not so inviting. Lot of people don't like creamy coleslaw. Fresh salad with tomatoes, lettuce, red onion etc is always nice. The staff were great and service was good. Very noisy in the dining area.

    Lower River is my hometown. Recently I have returned home to live. I was so impressed to see that finally The Argyle has been restored to its originality and charm. Friends from out of the area a quickly jumping on to road trips to the area with the Argyle Hotel and its accommodation as a main priority to visit. Food ✔️ Service ✔️ The list goes on.

    We love the Argyle Hotel. As locals we have visited here several times for family dinners and a drink or two and usually choose the indoor dining room seating which is very lovely, clean and aesthetically pleasing. The food is fresh and delicious and has a couple of vegetarian options which is great. The only draw back is that our experience seems to depend on which staff are on duty at the time. At times the service has been wonderful, friendly, professional and warm but on our last occasion it was honestly just a little crap. From the bar lady behind the bar, very unfriendly, we were not greeted in any way or offered a drink with our meals. One of our sides was also forgotten until we were almost finished our meals. It was a quiet Tuesday evening and we could not even put it down to business as there appeared to be enough staff on to manage the few patrons there. We will be back and would love to see the usual friendly staff.
