My partner and I was spending a walking holiday in the highlands and if there was one restaurant I would say is a must it would be this one. The decor is lovely and inviting, the staff friendly, courteous and very considerate. The food was amazing, it was so thoughtfully put together with the flavours, they just worked so well. My partner started with the chicken liver pate, she said the presentation and taste far exceeded her expectations. I started with the scollops, they were fresh, cooked perfectly and the sauce they came with was nothing short of taste sensation. We both opted for the venison main and I’m glad we did, the meat was cooked to perfection (medium rear), the veggies had been sautéed in flavours and the presentation was Michelin star quality. We finished this meal off with a chocolate torte, although I was full from the first two courses I couldn’t stop eating this amazing food. With the great location, service and food it was the full package. This restaurant on its own is a good reason to visit Scotland, it made the eight hour drive worth it. Very COVID friendly restaurant.
We were desperate to find somewhere to eat and were very kindly fitted in at 6 p.m. They were extremely short-staffed due to a local Covid outbreak and not wanting to use their usual staff for fear of infecting customers, but you wouldn't have known from the standard of welcome and food we received. The proprietor could not have been more helpful and even printed out my ferry tickets for me after I mentioned I'd left mine at home and was worried we would be refused entry to the ferry next day. Certainly service well above and beyond. And that's before I even mention the food, which was consistently excellent and overall extremely good value for what we paid.
We didn’t have a booking but the restaurant fitted us in which we really appreciated. We were not disappointed the food was exceptional and so was the service. The menu is small, but perfect. We all ordered a different main course and none of us were disappointed. I have a starter again, beautiful and the rest of the party a dessert again fantastic. The complimentary soup was a nice touch too. It was the first evening of our stay and it could not have been any better. A really great restaurant. Thank you.
Delicious menu in a warm and convivial atmosphere, we were looked after very well and had a great evening, excellent choices.
Fabulous evening friendly service, absolutely fabulous food and extra special local gin. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
