"Went here for a coffee about 3.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. There was a sign just inside the door saying please wait to be seated. We stood for a couple of minutes and seemed to be ignored by staff, who weren't especially busy, as the place was quiet. Eventually a girl behind the counter gestured for us to go over to her. She told us that the kitchen was closed and they were only offering tea coffee which was all we wanted anyway. I ordered two cappuccinos and a glass of cold water. We were then asked to find a table. There were plenty seats available so we sat and waited for our coffees. A young girl brought the coffees over but no glass of water, so I had to go and ask for it at the counter. I can't say we really enjoyed the coffees as they were only lukewarm, and I would rather have a hot coffee than something with a fancy pattern on top. At £6.20 for two, it was rather overpriced, and not even a very large cup. I won't be rushing back, there are plenty better places than this."

The restaurant is very clean and cheerful, with a wide selection of delicious food and excellent coffee. They also have vegan options available, all in a pleasant atmosphere.

This is a chilled, welcoming destination with a good selection of drinks and food. The staff are lovely and they love dogs who are allowed inside the cafe. We always end up here when visiting Dumfries.

I had a great time at this restaurant. I tried a salad where I could choose my own options. The coffee was delicious and the staff were very helpful and patient as I made my selection. They didn't rush me at all. Visualizza piatti

Normally excellent but today we were served with stale scones. There really is no excuse for this. Chuck out the old ones, serve fresh ones and cover them up rather than leave them exposed on the counter. Coffee was good.

I have been dining at this restaurant for many years, off and on, and the food never fails to impress. It is delicious, healthy, and served generously. The friendly staff and great coffee add to the overall dining experience.

Popped into Kings for lunch and wasn’t disappointed. What a lovely hidden gem. Just wanted something light and opted for a salad, you chose 4 items could add something of protein to bulk out and a dressing. I chose Tomatoes, cucumber, feta roasted peppers/onions with added lemon mayo chicken. The dressing was balsamic olive oil. It had leaves underneath. For a drink I chose water as I don’t do hot drinks and they gave me the option of tap water which was nice instead of buying a bottle. My friends had a croissant a toasted baguette with bacon Brie. There was plenty to choose from. The atmosphere was relaxed and service was quick and friendly. Disabled friendly. My friend was in a motorised w...

"Visiting Port Patrick again today we thought we would try a new place to eat. We normally eat at the same place here but today with chose the Crown Hotel. When you walk into the crown you see how old it is and I must admit it looks quant but a little dated. After finding a seat and deciding what to eat I went to the bar to order food and drinks. The service from the member of staff were pleasant and welcoming. We ordered 2 cokes and 2 stake and ale in a pudding one with chips and one with baby potatoes. We were charged a few pence short of £39 and given 2 cans of coke and asked would we like a glass with them? £4.80 for 2 cans of coke) Going back to the table I sat down and within less than 5 minutes our food was there on our table. I always worry when the food is so quick as I never feel it properly prepared fresh for you and when you are paying £17 a meal you at least want something fresh-ish. WHAT REALLY ANNOYED ME was while we were eating our food people were bringing dogs into the bar past our table to talk to a guy sat next to us. Chatting away these dogs were just sat by our feet as we ate. No one seemed to care about these dogs brushing up against people eating a meal. The food The baby potatoes were ok, the pudding was a frozen one you would get from a supermarket, the veg was hard, the meat was dry and bland and the gravy tasteless. I would say this food was a preprepared meal and just placed into a microwave. I don’t like to be so blunt in my reviews as this is always someone’s business and livelihood was are talking about, but this really was that bad. The service during the meal was none existent. When the waitress came to take our plates she did not seem surprised when I complained about our food, saying only I’ll pass it on. No apologies or anything. Even with me saying the food was especially the veg was disgusting. It was like water off a ducks back. Will I eat here again NO sadly the service and the food was very poor."

"For some reason I can not reply to your answer. Sadly you are absolutely wrong in everything you have stated, I find your tactic of attacking people who give less than 5 star reviews. I am not going to try to defend myself, as I stand by everything I said. I have made an appointment to see a solicitor about your untruthful comments. I would really of liked to put a good review up, however, I would not recommend this hovel to my worst enemy. Firstly the room was so small, and tatty, extremely dated with an alarm clock, which surely has been taken from a chalet from Pontins in the 1970s, that even the amazing view could not compensate. There was dog meat/food on the carpet, and I assume ash. When I went to look for someone to let them know, there was no one about. The bathroom was not fit for purpose, one as it was a converted cupboard, and the notice in the room explaining that the steam from the shower which was cracked set off the sensitive smoke alarm, so you could not even have a shower. Then when we went for breakfast, after waiting for 40 minutes for a breakfast which was a 1 sausage, a piece of streaky bacon, uncooked tomatoes and mushrooms, haggis, b pudding and beans. When I went to complain about this on the way out, I had the pleasure of speaking to someone called Donna, who was at best obnoxious, and as unhelpful as it was someone else 's fault, I quote I don 't clean the rooms, I don 't cook the breakfast . I would rather sleep in a tent than give money to this place, please look elsewhere, unless you want to feel as though you are being ripped off. In response to your reply I thankyou for it. I do not deny that I was irate, and if she cried, I feel terrible about that but I have also left things out, like the denial of the previous evenings attempt with the same lady about the state of the room, however I stand by everything I said, As you are true to form, as it never ever seems to be your fault, if you look at the previous low reviews, it is always someone else 's fault. Oh by the way breakfast took 40 minutes, and as you were not there, maybe you can check CCTV and see that the uncooked food was left, as was the haggis, however the toast provided was superb. I applaud your defense of your staff, I truly do. Hopefully you can maybe if you get another less than favourable review, see that it is the same points over and over again, and try to address them points, just a thought. Thanks again for your reply below, and I stand by everything I said, and truly can 't be bothered dissecting your reply, one slight point, I have witnesses about the night before, so I take with a pinch of salt, your comments"

"Myself and my partner where just outside of portpatrick yesterday and wondered about somewhere to have lunch, it was about 12.30pm on a scorching hot Bank holiday Sunday. We hadn’t actually planned to go there to start with but thought why not. I saw on Facebook Connors Restaurant had just uploaded a Facebook post about stopping there for a choice of 2 lovely menus and a cheeky gin, sounded perfect! The post had went up about 15 mins before we arrived, so I assumed they must be looking to take some tables. I walked down and there where 2 tables taken outside, and 1 table inside. I asked if I could get a table for 2 outside if possible and I was told no they had been reserved and I thought okay but before I could even open my mouth again she said all tables inside where also reserved that they where fully booked. There was 1 table inside, other wise it was pretty empty. Ok no problem, we found somewhere else so no big deal, after about 2 hours spent having food and wondering around we went back to the car (parked just up from Connors restaurant) and I noticed again there was only the 1 table outside, and no one at the others. I’m maybe wrong but I felt like this was odd, the inside didn’t look like it was “fully booked” either. It actually looked a little dead compared to everywhere else. This has also happened to my friends a couple of times too they’ve went in and the place has been stone dead but got turned away because of the excuse of being fully booked. Just felt like it was not quite right. Sorry I never usually write reviews but felt like I had to get my point across on this one. We would love to dine here and hopefully will in the future."
