   Drove from Kilwinning for my wife's birthday dinner, table booked for 7pm and when we got there, the restaurant was closed. My wife wrote an email and was giving a really blunt reply back "that's a shame" really not good enough, the food may be really nice from what I hear but the service is shocking and from what I've seen we aren't the first people this has happened to

   Family meal at the Sorn Inn was enjoyed by all. The food was cooked to perfection. Those who had starters enjoyed them very much. The venison was delicious as was the fillet steak and the fish and chips. Nice touch hazelnut liqueur on the house. Just the right amount of food. Desserts were also very tasty. Liked the mural on the wall, good music not too loud. Service was excellent, waitress was very cheery and friendly. Will definitely be back.

   It was wonderful to be back at The Sorn Inn. The menu was short (4 starters, 4 mains, 4 desserts plus the grill) which I like because you know they’ll do it well. The new chef has stamped his mark and the food was beautifully prepared and presented. The service was friendly and unobtrusive. The owner was friendly and delighted to get feedback. Will definitely be visiting again.

   A hidden gem in a quiet village offering a range of quality food that you would expect from a fine dining restaurant - the steak is highly recommended and the staff are extremely helpful- definitely going back there

   On our return to the Sorn inn we were late and the staff were very accommodating, moving our table back for us. We ordered the scollops which were perfectly cooked with a nice salsa yet slightly too much chilli for a delicate dish. The sharing steak was delicious and the reason we had returned. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. We had asked for skin on chips that we had the last time but instead got ordinary chips. A minor disappointment to a great meal.

    Service was first class, staff very friendly and helpful. Had venison steak and it was perfectly cooked and delicious. Desert was excellent too. Being gluten free, it was lovely to have a good choice on the menu. I especially appreciated the choice of GF desserts. Would definitely return and recommend to GF diners

    Bruch for 3. Very slow disjointed service. Some food burnt and inedible, one fried egg served half cooked. Haggis tasted of fish. The toast was very hard as was the butter so we couldn't spread it.The waitress couldn't have been nicer. I would not recommend this establishment.

    We had a lovely relaxed meal that was totally delicious. The only thing that could have improved it was having a very light tiny lemon pudding on the pudding menu :-) I’m always too full for a big pudding, and not an ice cream fan but a tiny mouthful would have tempted me :-)

    Had chefs meat platter for two people and food was fantastic. Best fillet steak I have ever tasted and all food cooked to perfection. Service was friendly and staff very pleasant and could not do enough for you. This is our second visit to the sorn inn and it will definitely not be our last. Would highly recommend. Great portions in fact we had to ask for a doggy bag and so much on the platter.

    The welcome and the service were great and the main dining area was comfortable. Whilst our steaks were lovely, the menu for the main course was very limited - steak or chicken - and we were told that there was no chicken. So if you’re not a fan of steak, you might not find much to appeal. The menu for starters and desserts was much more varied. The price was higher than we would expect to pay in a place like this, but it wasn’t ridiculous.

    This gastropub has a limited menu, majoring on steaks and burgers. There was though a good range of options for coeliacs like me. The decor of the restaurant is plain and could benefit from restyling. Service was prompt and pleasant. Prices were on the high side for the type of venue.
