We popped in for lunch after driving down from Fort William on a Friday. The place was quite busy,with no booths available so we took one of the centre tables, but the very MINUTE another guest left she moved us to a booth by the...window. The first menu we were handed was the lunch menu, which offers 3 courses for £8. But being from the Fort where there are 3 TERRIBLE chinese restaurant we asked or the full alacarte. I ordered salt pepper chicken wings for a starter, and the Seafood combo, and his fine self ordered the oriental chicken noodle soup and a beef curry withh fried riice. My wings came and the portions were so large I shared with him! He throughly enjoyed his soup woth the orient...
We had a fantastic night with our family last night at Balloch. The staff was hardworking and friendly, providing excellent service. Our drink order was taken promptly, and we appreciated having a complimentary water on the table. The hot and tasty appetizers were all delicious, and there was a nice break before our outstanding mains arrived. We ordered so much food that the table was overflowing! I particularly enjoyed my Szechuan prawns - the shrimp were juicy and the sauce was perfectly seasoned. The food and drinks were reasonably priced, offering great value for money. We will definitely return to Balloch on our next visit.
We placed our order around 6:25 PM. We called at 7:35 PM and were informed that our order had just been dispatched and would take an additional 20 minutes. After waiting for 1 hour and 40 minutes, we called again at 8:05 PM as our order still had not arrived. The staff member who answered was unhelpful and rude, informing us that everyone in the restaurant, including walk-in customers, was placing orders over the phone. We do not recommend ordering from this restaurant, as it took nearly 2 hours for our food to arrive. We regret not preparing a homemade meal instead, as it would have been much quicker.
It was an absolute treat! I'd never visited this restaurant before but had heard good things about it. I decided we would try it. Service was excellent, attentive without being overbearing. I had fried beef mushroom with fried rice the beef just melted...in my mouth gorgeous. Hubby had roast spring chicken regrettably the chicken was perhaps overcooked with the result it was stringy a bit tough. I had the lychees for dessert while my husband re-visited an old favourite Peach Melba which he declared was fabulous!! All in all, a very enjoyable visit it didn't cost the earth.

We had a takeaway from Chimes as our local Chinese takeaway is closed due to Coronavirus. We were greeted warmly on arrival (services is always good at Chimes), and our order was ready very quickly. My partner had chicken satay, which she loved, and I...had a special chowmein which was nice (although the chicken meat was a bit dry). I also had a side order of mushrooms, which were lovely. We also shared a portion of salt and pepper chicken, which was also nice, but a bit saltier than we are used to. Portion sizes were good. Would definitely recommend Chimes.
We had a very nice sit-in dinner at Chimes, following lifting of covid restrictions. We were greeted warmly upon arrival, and were shown to our seats right away. Service throughout the meal was fantastic. The food was very nice, but the chicken in my partner’s...satay was a bit tough (slightly overcooked. That said, it apparently tasted great. I can’t fault anything with my own meal chicken with green pepper in black bean sauce. We will be back at Chimes, and would definitely recommend.
During a recent trip to Loch Lomond, we chose to dine at Chimes based on reviews. We were not disappointed with our meals (Chicken Curry and Beef Curry.) They were very good and we even got a free garnish cracker, which was a nice surprise! The restaurant was busy on a Sunday night, but the staff were polite and welcoming when we arrived. We hope to dine at this restaurant again when we are back in Loch Lomond.
Placed an order at 5.30pm on Father’s Day, knew it would be busy so asked how long it would be, was told. 1hr, after 2hours phoned and was told it was just going into the kitchen, cancelled order.. Will not use chimes again

I'd rather focus on the home delivery service than on restaurant diners. we had to wait 1.5 hours between starter and main courses. After we talked to graham, our food seemed wonderful. not impressed
Late night munch perfect when you stay local they do delivery also another nice find whether it be small or a feast
