"I'm lucky enough to have this amazing little cafe right on my doorstep and have been eating out a lot here recently. The Food and atmosphere is simply amazing, the staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble for them. What makes Skirlies so special though is their cakes, all homemade and the selection is huge, I'm still working my way through them. Coffee is the biggest attraction to this place. Paisley has its share of excellent coffee houses, with Blend and Brew being two of my other favourites. However Skirlies pips them both, the espresso is always smooth, the milk is never too hot and you get the best little ferns in the foam! Still no clover though. Personal favourites are the American Muffin meal, followed by the Bounty Cheesecake and washed down with a Latte!"

"Visited here for afternoon tea with my work. The service was terrible, you had to chase the staff for service because after they gave us the meal they were no where to be seen and when we did get hold of them they took a ridiculous amount of time to get back to you that tea was cold. The food was not pleasant. Burnt scones, stale bread, cheesecake that can only be described as mush. When we complained the manager said we would need to complain to head office but never gave us correct info, he said he would deal with in straight away but it took days for someone to get back to us. Their reply was our staff would've been free to help if we asked even though it was stated staff were not available or if they were the time scale was ridiculous. Other people in the party also sent a email complain and never received a reply and the table behind us also complained on the day. We were apprehensive about going back here after the Christmas party wasn't very good either but thought we would give it the benefit of doubt. That was a mistake on my behalf. Wouldn't recommend!"

"I was extremely disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. My group was one of only two tables there during lunchtime. I ordered the Ramen with an additional £2 charge for tonkatsu and £1 charge for a soft boiled egg. Unfortunately, it took over 40 minutes for the dish to come out, and when it did, the noodles were soaked in broth, the egg was overcooked, and the tonkatsu was dry. I took a picture of the ramen as the waiter was collecting it and informed him of my dissatisfaction, but did not request anything else. As someone who used to work in restaurants, I understand that everybody has off days. However, what really disappointed me was that the management never came to our table to apologize, even though we were one of only two tables in the restaurant. This lack of attention to customer service is why I can only give this restaurant a 1-star rating. If you're looking for sushi in Paisley, I would recommend going to Okome instead."

"We popped in without a booking on a Sunday night after a long drive and were met with such fantastic service. Our waiter Blair was soo friendly, made some great recommendations and made us laugh a lot! The frito misto was a great starter, huge fresh bits of fresh and a delicious garlic and parsley sauce. We also ordered the asparagus with pancetta which was so nicely done with another great sauce. The fresh pasta dishes were phenomenal! Between our table we ordered the slow cooked beef and tuscan sausage ragu which had so much tender meat and a delicious rich sauce, the rigatoni sinatra (crumbled italian sausages with loads of roasted peppers and chilli in a tomato sauce) and the fettuccine pollo piccante which was my favourite. This was spicy chicken in a creamy parmesan sauce with a right kick of chilli! For a complete accidental find we had such a great meal and would definitely come back if we were travelling down to Glasgow from the Highlands again!"

"I have looked at this restaurant for years and always thought a tiny little steakhouse in the middle of Paisley can't be that good. Well all I can say is I was wrong very wrong. Anyone that has read any of my other reviews will know I don't give 5 stars easily and I can be and usually am brutally honest. So when I say I loved this place and it is by far my new favourite restaurant by a country mile. Now it's not the easiest place to park or find your first time. And you would be forgiven for looking from the outside and thinking its tiny it's going to be cramped and hurried. But it is worth any hassle you have parking which believe me 2 mins after walking in you have forgotten about. The welcome from the staff was warm and sincere. Tha character of the building is like eating in your Grans kitchen it's brilliant. The menu is big enough to offer a wide enough choice but not to big that you can't decide. The service was excellent from start to finish and the food was amazing. I had the blackened garlic pork chop. And it was just fabulous and a really good size of dish. In fact it was so good I could have asked for 1 on its own as a dessert. I thought the balance of seasoning was spot on perfect. In fact it was so good I actually stopped writing there to enjoy the memory of it. Do not miss this place if your looking for somewhere to eat in Paisley, yes it's tucked away, yes parking can be an issue, yes it's small and you really should book in advance BUT any of these perceived downsides are worth it for the fabulous time the comes with them. Book a table I promise you will not regret it."
