I took my two grandchildren here a few times. They love the food and it's cozy and the service is brilliant. We always nip round to see the horses afterwards.It's an amazing place for lunch, dinner and family nights.Kid-friendliness: The waitress was brilliant with the kids and funny too.

The staff here is so friendly, food was very good and so were the cocktails!

Food was delicious. Pizza a bit well done but we still enjoyed it .

Booked for a family lunch and was not disappointed! The restaurant is cosy and inviting and we had no wait to be seated. Drinks order taken inmediately and the food menu was great, with an array of choice. Four different meals were ordered and each one was a hearty portion and all very enjoyable! The staff members are attentive and friendly, making sure you are have everything you need. Added bonus to be seated where we could watch the horses training and the chefs cooking on the big screen! Will definitely be returning :)

I'd give this place a 4.5* but happy to round up for this place.The food is absolutely excellent with a diverse range of menu options. Would like to see a few more dedicated Vegan dishes but there are a few available.Had a couple of meals here whilst staying at Ingliston. Generally recommended to book ahead as it is a very popular place (for good reason!)The prices are reasonable and the dishes I had were excellent. Wholetail Scampi is a classic dish I enjoy and I find useful for comparison. Here they were cooked perfectly and in plentiful portion. Skinny fries served with them were ideal as well. The peas fell a little flat, maybe a tad overdone but didn't deduct from the overall dish.Another evening I had the 'Balmoral' pizza. Palominos is a Scottish/Italian resteraunt so I felt pizza with haggis would be a good choice. Ooh it was lovely. Proper thrown sourdough pizza base with creamy mozzarella. I could have done with a little more Haggis on it but that may be a personal taste thing.To drink I chose the "Pina Nolada" mocktail which was a deliciously creamy combination of pineapple and coconut.Deserts are also worth saving some space for. A range of locally made patisserie choices (the large strawberry tart is a popular choice) and the display case does often see the widening eyes of young children with treats galore!Personally after my latter meal I chose the chocolate dome dessert. If, like me, you enjoy chocolate then this is a wonderfully rich option. The depths of chocolate in combination of the shell and surrounding brownies balanced well with the ice-cream and fresh raspberries.All of the staff are wonderful, very friendly and accommodating. Service can be a little slow at times. During lunch it felt they were a little understaffed and the food took a while to arrive but a couple of days later when we were having dinner there was no particular wait.The decor is...equine...very very horsey! They like horses and boy do they like horses. Not surprising given some of the tables look out on the indoor equestrian arena. Done very nicely but make sure noone in your part has equinophobia haha!Would definitely dine here again, after all there are so many delicious options to choose from, one can't try everything on a single visit!Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options and a few Vegan versions but given the size of the rest of the menu I'd like to see a few more dedicated Vegan options.

Arrived here for our wedding anniversary at 19:05. Entrance to restaurant was elegant and had a nice Chritmas look about it. After that the positives stopped. No staff came to our table to take a food and drink order until 19:30. Then waited until 19:50 for the starters to arrive and the soup was tepid. Had to send it back. Service improved a little after that but it was still a bit slow. In recognition of the poor service a staff member said that the bill had been reduced. They took the soup off. The whole experience took the shine off the occasion. This restaurant is local to me but I will not be back.

We visited the restaurant on Wednesday 15th Nov. Our family included 7 adults, a toddler and two babies! Thank you to the gentleman who greeted and looked after us so well. What a pleasant team. Food was all great.

Food was just a mess on the plate. The dish was pear and prawn cocktail! Looks like shrimp and far too much with a tiny slices of pear with

Birthday dinner with family for my daughters birthday. First time at Palomino's & I was very impressed & would highly recommend. The service was extremely friendly & the food excellent. All dishes piping hot & very generous portions. The atmosphere was great, helped by the Halloween theme which was present throughout the restaurant including the staff who had entered into the spirit of things with their costumes. A most enjoyable experience,
This is a new money country club for people who drive leased Mercedes-Benzes and whose tastebuds have been dulled by years of smoking cigarettes and drinking supermarket brand spirits.The dining room is loud and the wait staff were deeply embroiled in scenes of hectic incompetence. The service was very, very slow and disorganized. The meal was subpar — bland and poorly presented for the price point, and lacking in any sort of nuance or refinement. Pasta dishes that might well have been served from a tin.Overall an irritating and disappointing experience in what should be a relaxing and tasteful setting in the Renfrewshire countryside.

The restaurant is very well laid out with a great atmosphere. The service was very good and quick. We ate here as part of our Dinner, Bed and Breakfast package. The set menu is very poor but you can order off the regular menu as they give you £21.95 each to go towards food which was ideal for us. The bruschetta was lovely but the haggis Bon Bon’s were overpriced for the small portion. My pizza was very tasty. The steak pie was too but the side very was boring and bland. The crushed garlic potatoes were tasty but tepid. The cheesecake was lovely, the lemon meringue pie was nice but lacked lemon. The drinks menu is very extensive but pricey. The cocktail my husband got was way too sweet (none of the ingredients were sweet….). Enjoyed our night but it was expensive!

Was gifted a DBB deal from a friend for this place. When we arrived, they had booked our table for the wrong time and so we had to stand about waiting until they cleared a table for us. Once seated, we ordered two cokes which took about 30 mins to come. We eventually got them and ordered some sourdough bread with balsamic and olive oil. Instead they brought out focaccia bread with butter because “they didn’t have any sourdough left”. I ordered a roast dinner for main - as I have an egg allergy I was expecting no Yorkshire pudding but of course it came with one ? when I asked about it the server said the chef simply “forgot” I had an egg allergy. My partner ordered lamb which was covered in fat and had a very water red wine jus. We ordered sorbet for dessert as all of the desserts say they contain nuts even if they don’t “just to cover their backs”. Sorbet tasted like perfumed ice and was inedible. To try and end on a high note we ordered two mojitos as it was a cocktail bar. It was the worst I’ve ever had. Extremely bitter and was basically just limes in soda water and was so was undrinkable. Whole thing was disgusting and service was shocking. Won’t be back.

Abysmal. Only word. Lamb was fatty and turgid. The sorbet tasted like perfume. They “forgot” about allergies. Mojito’s for a cocktail place weren’t even worth downing with a pinched nose. Won’t be back.

The best meal I've had in years! We booked a table for 530pm to take advantage of the family menu. We had a party of 3 adults and two kids. The staff were all immaculately dressed, friendly and attentive. Service was fast, but not rushed. The food was outstanding. Incredible service, food and value.Kid-friendliness: The restaurant backed onto a riding arena and kids can see horses being ridden past the windows, very entertaining for them
