SIMPSINNS, the Ayrshire hospitality group, is preparing to launch its latest restaurant and bar next weekend.
The company will open The Terrace at Si! in Irvine on Friday August 18, following a £250,000 refurbishment.
The Terrace is based on the upper floor of Si!, above The Potting Shed, and will seat up to 110 people inside and 40 covers on the outdoor balcony.
Glasgow interior designer 3 Design Scotland led to refurbishment project, giving centre stage to foliage and trees in a bid to bring the “essence of the outdoors indoors”.

The Terrace and The Potting Shed at Si! are owned by the Simpson family, whose flagship venue is The Gailes Hotel & Spa, located on Marine Drive nearby.
Jack Simpson, who managed The Terrace development, said: “Following the success of The Potting Shed earlier this year, we can’t wait to open the doors to our additional upper floor restaurant The Terrace from Friday 18th August and help build our reputation as Ayrshire’s trendiest new social venue.
“This will be a social space for any time of the year, including a place to kick back in long summer evenings and a cosy atmosphere to socialise during the winter months.”

“We’re committed to exceeding our guests’ expectations and are continually investing in our hotel and leisure facilities to make them the very best they can be.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
