    We love the Argyle Hotel. As locals we have visited here several times for family dinners and a drink or two and usually choose the indoor dining room seating which is very lovely, clean and aesthetically pleasing. The food is fresh and delicious and has a couple of vegetarian options which is great. The only draw back is that our experience seems to depend on which staff are on duty at the time. At times the service has been wonderful, friendly, professional and warm but on our last occasion it was honestly just a little crap. From the bar lady behind the bar, very unfriendly, we were not greeted in any way or offered a drink with our meals. One of our sides was also forgotten until we were almost finished our meals. It was a quiet Tuesday evening and we could not even put it down to business as there appeared to be enough staff on to manage the few patrons there. We will be back and would love to see the usual friendly staff.

    Food and service was very good. We had booked an inside table but decided to dine in the rear courtyard. The lighting was quite dim and the mosquitoes were a problem. We did ask for some repellent but was advised that there was none. We should have stayed at our original table.

    We arrived on time, were told what table to go to. It was so drafty we asked to move. We went to the bar and ordered our meals and drinks.. sat down and waited and waited....O er half an hour for fish and chips, calamari and schnitzel. The calamari was very bland, the fish although battered was not crispy. The schnitzel was good. The garlic bread tasted very strange, not sure what was used on it. It tasted like olive oil and very little garlic. It was so hard, it was difficult to eat.none of us will be back.

    We had a tble of 6, 2 of the mains were served, we had to wait until the manager cleared the table and we asked if we could get our entree's for the remaining 4 guests. The entree's arrived cold and un impressive, not long after the mains arrived. I assume you have a new chef? as the food quality has declined consideraby ? We were also charged for an extra meal that we didnt have, all in all a rather poor performance from a place we reccommended to many people as the managers of a nearby motel. Unfortunately we will no longer be visiting the Argyle. I hope you take this onboard as constructive and get back to where you were when you opened. JM

    Love the new menu. Much more choice. We all enjoyed our food. Staff all very pleasant and helpful. Unfortunately one meal arrived a long time after the others which was disappointing for that diner, although the meal was well received. Music was far too loud as we ranged in age from 64-90 years however it was toned down on request. The simple but tasteful setting was lovely. We really enjoyed the experience and would come again.
