After a happy day visiting Maidens on August 2011,having previously on various occasions in the past dined at Wildings Restaurant, we were shocked by the attitude of the middle aged blond woman with the badly applied light blue eyeliner and big shiny teeth. This particular individual informed us when we entered the foyer,after we had enquired, regarding a table for two,that there was a cafe further along the village better suited to our requirements.This person i could only surmise had made a judgement about us down to our casually dressed appearance.I would like to suggest that the old adage ,never judge a book by it's cover should be used in this instance.Attitude stinks!

We went for a meal to celebrate a special occasion, and what a disappointment it turned out to be. I agree with the comments made in other reviews about the attitude of the staff, and the service was slow and muddled - we didn't get our drink order until the main course arrived, then we were forgotten about after the main course.
If the food had been outstanding, maybe these problems could have been overlooked, but unfortunately this was not the case. I ordered Tiger Prawn Tempura for starter which turned out to be just that - 6 prawns in rather greasy batter with some dip. Not a bit of garnish to be seen.
The main course was salmon and asparagus, which was pleasant but bland, served with the usual mix of veg, and a bowl of chips which looked like any supermarket frozen chip. No handcut chunky fries here!
By the time the dessert order was eventually taken, the expectations weren't high. I ordered the cheeses, three small triangles of cheese, and to my excitement, I had some garnish with them - a bunch of green grapes! Unfortunately, it appeared that someone else had enjoyed them before me, as most of the top grapes were missing, with only the stalks left.
Shortly after leaving the restaurant I was very sick, and what should have been a celebration turned into a rather unpleasant night!
I would also point out that Wildings is situated in Maidens, not Girvan as the location here suggests, and it is reasonably close to Turnberry Hotel. It is a cheaper option than dining in Turnberry, just be prepared for the lack of quality and poor service.

Had a great lunch.... food lovely!!! Staff were not friendly at all!!!!!!!!!!. This is my second visit and nothing has changed. And is a bit of a put off . For the money u would expect more.We had to ask for a drink and by time we had finished meal we had to ask again..we had a boy that could not crack a smile as our waiter... Think they need to have a talk with staff about being a wee bit more welcoming ....................as very off putting.

After a rough night at the Turnberry, we drove off looking for a new place to stay. We were fortunate to find the Wildings just down the road. Instead of a view of the car drop off or a brick wall (which were our options at the Turnberry) we had a view of the Irish Sea and a very clean, quiet and spacious room and rate included a full breakfast.

Dinner at the Wildings was spectacular - fresh fish, chicken and steaks and delicious desserts all at very reasonable prices.

We would definitely stay again.
