"Located on the second floor of the historic Stromness Hotel, this restaurant offers scenic views of the harbor. The atmosphere exudes a sense of former luxury that has evolved into a more casual vibe over time. While some of the furniture showed signs of wear and tear, the restaurant was very clean. Our server, a young woman, provided excellent service without being overly intrusive. I ordered the medium rare filet steak, which was sourced from the butcher next door along with the steamed carrots and cauliflower that accompanied it. The steak was incredibly tender and flavorful, although it was cooked closer to medium well. I also enjoyed the delicious local scallops as a starter. My wife opted for the vegetarian butternut squash lasagna, which she found to be average. With a price of twenty-six pounds for my steak, I expected it to be perfect and felt it was a bit expensive considering the slight overcooking. Sadly, we were too full for dessert. Overall, we may give this restaurant another chance, as the options in Stromness are limited and their local food suppliers show promise."

The appetizers were excellent, but the main courses were quite average. The prices were a bit high for pub food. The staff was fantastic and the restaurant is conveniently located in the heart of Stromness.

We booked for 29 people and had a lovely evening. We pre ordered to make things easier. It was well organised, efficient and the staff were amazing. Food was well cooked and tasted very good. Many thanks all.

The chefs went above and beyond to ensure that our meals and overall experience were exceptional. We enjoyed our dinners there so much that we ended up eating there every night after spending our days sightseeing.

We ate here late on a Sunday evening but the full menu was still on offer. The food was good, if a bit deep fried. The service was polite, helpful and extremely courteous. We would return here for a good meal without fine dining

This restaurant is on the first floor of the Stromness hotel. I wasn't expecting to have an excellent meal but the vegetarian lasagne was really good and served with delicious NEW new potatoes. Nice staff and, if you can get a window seat, nice aspect.

Myself, my wife and friends were visiting the Skara Brae prehistoric village and we all wanted a bite to eat and a strong coffee. The choice of baking is all local and the coffee selection is great and so was the taste of my americano. I recommend this restaurant to anyone

Closed for the weekend that we were there, no pre-warning offered, despite the current website describing it as: The a la carte Scapa Flow Restaurant prides itself on using the finest local Orcadian produce – the very best grass-reared beef, fresh fish and succulent shellfish. Do trust Tripadviser reviews before you book.

A carvery is available for Sunday lunch which can be either two or three course. There is a choice of several roast meats and accompanied by a selection of vegetables. Not outstanding but nevertheless a wholesome meal. As with most food on Orkney it is not cheap around 50 pounds for 4 and two courses. Drinks available at the friendly bar . First course is fairly limited with a choice of soup or smoked salmon or tuna salad. Down side no apple sauce with the roast pork.

We were a big group of 12 and to make things easier for the restaurant, we preordered everything a week in advance. It was buzzing so everything was a little slow. Had the chickpea and lentil bites for starters, which I thought was alright. Was really looking forward to having some seafood in Orkney so I ordered the lobster tail and scallops turned out to be disgustingly horrible. The scallops were so tough on the outside, lobster tail was so tiny and I still can’t believe I had to pay £22.50 for that dish. My friends went diving for the day so they were starving but most of them left food behind proves how horrible the meal was... Will never go back again..
