"The Ruby has played a very big part in my life. I have been many, many times over the years and have never been disappointed. On the night I proposed to my wife we went to the Ruby for dinner, on our 10th wedding anniversary we went again and we were presented with a beautiful plated display, and we were back on our 20th wedding anniversary recently and again were presented with another beautiful plated display! The staff as always were very friendly and even as the restaurant began to get busy they still found the time to chat with diners, this is the way restaurants should operate, so well done and thank you for making my wife and I's anniversaries special."

Despite not booking in advance we were made very welcome and quickly seated. The view from the first floor windows was amazing. Service was great and our meals arrived very quickly. All extremely enjoyable and not too expensive.

Very disappointed with our take away meal tonight,sweet and sour chicken sauce so watery with no pineapple, onions or peppers that states it comes with on the menu. Worst sauce ever , chicken balls dripping with grease Sauce went straight into bin.. been using this restaurant for years but unfortunately the standard of food has declined.

Truly fantastic restaurant. Staff were amazing food was excellent . Cleanliness top Mark's. Service excellent. I met up in helensburgh with an old friend I had not saw for 45 years. Picked the best place to meet. The staff could not have been more helpful told us we could stay on and blether as much as we liked. Topping us up with more tea and not charging us. Never experienced such a Top class Restaurant. Most definitely be back. My friend who came from Livingston also commented said she had a wonderful time. In the Ruby and she would travel through with her family and go again.

"On our last day here, killing time before the ferry, decided to try luncheon here. No expectations either way. And we were TOTALLY wowed it was just excellent. Trying not to put too many superlatives in this review, but it was really, really ace. We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the harbour where you could see dog walkers, children in wellies, crabbing, and little boats coming and going. Classic Islay. Then I have to mention the food. Jeez, it was top notch, and huuuuuuuge portions. I don’t think we’ve ever had four such consistently generous and fulfilling portions before. We had the scallops (massive, juicy, plentiful , the Crofter’s Platter, which was cheeses, hams, sausage rolls, salad, bread, chutneys; the soup massive bowl, loadsa crispy sourdough bread, and the fish and chips which was so big it draped over the plate! All delicious. Our guy, Andrew, was superb, so attentive and smiley and always bringing us more things, spoons, drinks, more bread, spoons, he was great. And we had a lovely chat with the very friendly and nice proprietor. She was wonderful. Really seemed to care about the place and her team. She told us all about the hotel and stuff it was really cool. We will most certainly come back here next time. You can’t necessarily get the best table every time, but we won’t mind if we don’t! : Oh, also, lovely clean loos!"

"We booked this restaurant after reading the reviews while touring Scotland what a disappointment. When we arrived we were shown to a table straight behind the door and as it kept opening and shutting it blew a massive amount of cold air in. As both parents and staff allowed 2 young children to go in and out every few minutes it got a bit much. We were given the menu and told specials were on the board. No description or recommendation. Also they did not say the board also goes over the top of the fish on didplay. I had crab claws to start the mayonnaise was lovely and what I could get out of the claws was nice but I was given no instruments to get into the claws and they were not broken enough for them to just pull out. I ordered the turbut for main as did my husband it was a small fillet with the skin correctly removed but it was loaded with garlic butter sauce you couldn't taste the fish for the garlic. Also which was worse I don't know what they did to the top of it but it was yellow and like thin rubber. We had to peel it off it was not good. I didn't complain at the time because I am not used to having a fillet of turbut. When I have had it before my husband and I have shared a turbut presented whole at the table. I have only written this today after speaking to some friends who said i should put something on because there had to be something wrong for the top of the fish to be yellow and leathery. You might guess but I won't be going back."
