Reviews in Stirling

Lovely hotel. Very clean room. Excellent food. Great staff, but the highlight of the evening was the pianist/singer. He was fabulous!

Won’t be back. Had booked a table in lounge. Had to physically move the table as seat behind was too close so member of our party couldn’t get in. On bringing our meal to table waiter dropped one dinner. No mention to our table but two of us witnessed. Two dinners served while the other two waited. No explanation or apology. First two finished…still no explanation or apology.

Really impressed with the meal and service we had at the Cronies Bar and restaurant yesterday. There were five of us and the service couldn't have been better, the young women who served us were so friendly, so nice and accommodating. I really wanted a salad which wasn't on the menu and they asked the chef and I got a freshly made Chicken Caesar salad, which was a very generous plateful for a small plate, so many thanks to the chef. A friend got a chicken Mediterranean salad also not on the menu and similarly generous plateful. We weren't rushed and sat on having coffee after the meal. Friends who had soup and two had goujons were also very pleased with the food, well presented and very nice they said. We've been before because it's a convenient location but I would say the food has really improved. We'll be back, thanks to everyone who made our visit so enjoyable.

Terrific food, friendly staff, nice environment, we were there for a meal after the Stirling walking of the marches - we were a hungry bunch and were very happy with our lunch at the Golden Lion, and shall certainly be back!

Lovely meal &piano player was a nice touch to the afternoon

Good menu, tasty food and nicely served.

Great food, Great service. The hotel was busy but the service was amazing. Looking forward to going back.

My family and I had a most enjoyable Sunday lunch, a wee birthday celebration. The choice on the menu was excellent, staff friendly and accommodating and most importantly the food was delicious.

Nice atmosphere. Food was good. Service ok as our waitress did not smile and seemed a bit grumpy.

Excellent meal. The plate was full with plenty of meat and vegetables. The pie melted in the mouth- absolutely delicious. A reasonable price too. The dessert followed and was good too. The attention from the waiting staff was good as well. All in all a pleasant experience.

We had a lovely evening at Cronies Restaurant within The Golden Lion Hotel. The food and service were both excellent and the atmosphere was perfect. It was made extra special with having the pianist there playing beautiful songs to accompany our meal. I would highly recommend it.

We had lunch as usual my cousin had the steak pie which was cold I had the macaroni which was olso cold and clumped together and tasted bland the chips were olso just warm this is the second time this had happened we did tell the waitress who must have told another lady who took our drinks price of the bill they really need to up their game or we won’t b going back

Meal was fine. Nice scampi and chips, very plentiful..however, no nice welcoming smile from a waitress who looked very unhappy, and I felt stuck at a dark table in the (empty) dining room! Sorry, but not happy with the ambience within the Golden Lion which is a place I always loved. What has happened to training standards and the reputation of a fine establishment?? Disappointed.

We enjoyed the meal and loved the environment so much. Service is also good enough. Highly recommended!

Everything fine apart from undercooked carrots.. However will still return.

Interesting incident whilst having dinner 30/3/26. The meal was lovely and the restaurant was quiet (luckily). The background music was "old people blend" Manilow, Neil Diamond etc, suddenly there was a generational shift and a "rap" artist gave his modern slant. I cannot give a full rendition but suffice to say the use of the "F and N" combination was liberally shouted to enhance our dining experience. It was different.
