"Have been going here for nearly 20 years as an annual treat, this time it was probably our last. The dishes ranged from competent to laughably bad, the fish and chips in particular would have been sub standard even for a chip shop, with soggy batter on the fish and chips that were barely cooked. There were substitutions on other dishes that we were only told about on delivery. You would have thought a fish restaurant would make good tartar sauce. The sticky toffee pudding has always been legendary at Finns, this time, it tasted like it was bought in. Surprisingly poor service considering the staff almost outnumbered the diners. Couldn't even get the spelling right on the menu. We remember when Fins was a Michelin star contender, and a real selling point for the village of Fairlie, those days are sadly gone."

This restaurant is the best place to eat in or around Fairlie. The food is consistently excellent and they also have a shop with fresh seafood catches of the day.

Saturday lunchtime visit, three adults. 1 portion mussels, 1 Fencebay Tapas to share. As we said to the staff, the only thing wrong with the meal was that it was such a long drive from Yorkshire to have it again. Thoroughly enjoyed by all.

Best seafood restaurant I’ve ever been to. Eat here at least once a week and always look forward to seeing the specials board. Food is outstanding and the service is 5 star. Have taken many friends here and they have all loved it. Well worth a visit.

I visited Fins for the first time and had a wonderful dining experience. The food was delicious, especially the carrot and orange soup of the day and the smoked haddock. The service was efficient and the atmosphere was great. I highly recommend this restaurant. View menu

What a great find! Fresh fish seafood cooked to perfection in lovely, friendly, casual surroundings. Staff were great, a few minutes by taxi from Largs and well worth the effort to get there. It felt like I was sitting in a friends kitchen, a great night! (BYOB)

This restaurant offers top-quality, fresh dishes that are the best in town. There are specials available and the oysters are delicious. Adam provided excellent service and was very helpful. Just be sure to bring your own drinks, as the restaurant does not have an alcohol license.

Go to Fencebay! The food and service is great! We had oysters, langoustine tempura, scallops and seafood linguine everything was incredible. Even the bread and oil was out of this world, get the bread! There's no licence but you can buy wine from the farm shop which is reasonably priced with a great selection, honestly one of the best meals I've had. I'm already planning my next visit...

After visiting the attached shop a few times recently, we decided to try the restaurant on a Friday evening and were not disappointed. The menu itself is not huge but it was a difficult decision in what to choose. There are quite a few specials on the board that made our decision even harder. I chose Cullen Skink and my wife had black pudding bon bons for starters and they were delicious. I had mixed grill of fish fillets and my wife had a ribeye steak, and again both dishes were cooked to perfection and very well presented. To round off we both chose profiteroles from the special board. It was a lovely evening in a small cosy restaurant and we will definitely make a return visit .
