"You wouldn't think that cooking and serving a portion of fish chips is difficult. Apparently it is in Tarbert! We decided to give this place another chance, as our previous experience wasn't very good. We ordered fish chips, and were served some form of slimy white substance wrapped in a pale wet oily handkerchief, with some greasy cold potato wedges on the side. There was some green mush spread over the plate which (we assumed) was supposed to be originating from peas. I sent my meal back to be cooked, and when it was returned the result wasn't much of an improvement. clearly the microwave wasn't working We felt sorry for the young waitress whilst very pleasant, she could only make the excuse that the place was busy. When serving food, every meal coming out of the kitchen should be of an adequate standard. We suggest that you bring your own picnic instead of paying good money for slop!"

Four of us went and each delighted with his/her meal. I had the langostines which were super fresh. Good wine list and cocktails

This was a lovely dinner, very little to fault. The service was pleasant, quick and not obtrusive. We both had the venison burgers which were very tasty. The combination of venison with goat’s cheese blended really well and the chips were very crisp and tasty. My wife had an affogato, a very simple dessert which was nicely presented and just the right proportions of espresso and ice cream. A glass of house red wine rounded it off nicely. We will eat here again

Fantastic food, superb flavours, great menu selection in a relaxed and welcoming environment. So glad we booked here for our overnight stay in Tarbert. We were spoilt for choice with both starters and mains. My wife ordered ham hock terrine delicious and I went for langoustines fabulous. For mains the scallops with black pudding was perfectly cooked and presented and my Moroccan fish stew was one of the tastiest fish dishes I have come across We were not rushed but the staff were attentive, welcoming and helpful Overall a great restaurant View menu

This was my first time eating in this establishment and I was very pleased with my experience. The server Grace did an exceptional job, considering she was serving meals, tending the bar and checking guests in at reception. The menu was extensive but uncomplicated. My partner and I opted for homemade burgers, he for the steak and me for the chicken. Both came with a plate full of accompaniments and the best chips I have tasted in a long time. Grace was so charming she managed to talk us into having desserts. Again, they came beautifully presented and just enough to tickle the tastebuds. We shall certainly be back and would bring friends to eat here. Only one tiny complaint, it was a little b...

Really nice restaurant in a small hotel and town. But the atmosphere is quiet and calm, the service is superb and most important the food is so good! And prices are quite reasonable for very large portions. For the three of us we each got something different each of two nights and can highly recommend everything we tried. Cullen skink is very good but be careful as it is really hot when it comes out. The mussels are perfectly cooked and the cream sauce they ar in would make a great soup all by itself. Fantastic to dip your bread in. Langostines and scallops all perfectly cooked and seasoned. Peat smoked haddock had just the right amount of peat smoke, fish and chips very nice but my personal...

"On our last day here, killing time before the ferry, decided to try luncheon here. No expectations either way. And we were TOTALLY wowed it was just excellent. Trying not to put too many superlatives in this review, but it was really, really ace. We had a lovely table by the window overlooking the harbour where you could see dog walkers, children in wellies, crabbing, and little boats coming and going. Classic Islay. Then I have to mention the food. Jeez, it was top notch, and huuuuuuuge portions. I don’t think we’ve ever had four such consistently generous and fulfilling portions before. We had the scallops (massive, juicy, plentiful , the Crofter’s Platter, which was cheeses, hams, sausage rolls, salad, bread, chutneys; the soup massive bowl, loadsa crispy sourdough bread, and the fish and chips which was so big it draped over the plate! All delicious. Our guy, Andrew, was superb, so attentive and smiley and always bringing us more things, spoons, drinks, more bread, spoons, he was great. And we had a lovely chat with the very friendly and nice proprietor. She was wonderful. Really seemed to care about the place and her team. She told us all about the hotel and stuff it was really cool. We will most certainly come back here next time. You can’t necessarily get the best table every time, but we won’t mind if we don’t! : Oh, also, lovely clean loos!"

"We booked this restaurant after reading the reviews while touring Scotland what a disappointment. When we arrived we were shown to a table straight behind the door and as it kept opening and shutting it blew a massive amount of cold air in. As both parents and staff allowed 2 young children to go in and out every few minutes it got a bit much. We were given the menu and told specials were on the board. No description or recommendation. Also they did not say the board also goes over the top of the fish on didplay. I had crab claws to start the mayonnaise was lovely and what I could get out of the claws was nice but I was given no instruments to get into the claws and they were not broken enough for them to just pull out. I ordered the turbut for main as did my husband it was a small fillet with the skin correctly removed but it was loaded with garlic butter sauce you couldn't taste the fish for the garlic. Also which was worse I don't know what they did to the top of it but it was yellow and like thin rubber. We had to peel it off it was not good. I didn't complain at the time because I am not used to having a fillet of turbut. When I have had it before my husband and I have shared a turbut presented whole at the table. I have only written this today after speaking to some friends who said i should put something on because there had to be something wrong for the top of the fish to be yellow and leathery. You might guess but I won't be going back."
