"Owned by Johhny Ho The Harbour Lodge is the best chinese restaurant in Ayrshire. I would highly recommend this venue for their Restaurant, Take Away & Private Function Suite upstairs. Fabulous venue with a well stocked large bar and outdoor seating area with stunning views overlooking the Clyde onto Millport. The staff are always very polite, friendly and happy to help. I've been a fan of The Harbour Lodge for over 15 years and if your new to Ayrshire or have never tried it I highly recommend doing so."
