"a good position on the cliffs, licensed for alcohol if they have a wee dram. the food looked good. outdoor covered pod for eating with view of the sea. the best thing about the bistro is that they can book a guided talk and look at the otters tomb. I cannot publicly review or make photos, as it is currently waiting for research paper to be published. I can tell them that the leader was amazing, a local woman who was extremely knowledgeable. visit them the dig is an experience they have not done before I can assure them!."

Outstandingly good. Great dining room and views, super food, very nice service, excellent value. Not possible to fault, frankly which is quite something given how remote it is. Absolutely worth the journey though

I stopped by for coffee and cake, and both were fantastic! The staff was extremely helpful, and the hygiene standards were excellent and COVID-safe. The trip was definitely worth it. A week later, I tried the seafood plate, which was also amazing!

We went to see the tomb of the otters and the tour guide called Lisa was an absolute delight, very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We had scallops and seafood platter in the restaurant which was served by friendly staff and was very high quality. Well worth the trip back from the other end of the island.

Absolutely wonderful dining experience! Everything is locally sourced and incredibly fresh. The chowder, scallops, and fish plate were the best I've ever had. The atmosphere is beautiful, with stunning views all around. The staff is very helpful and friendly, and there's even a dog to visit. This place is truly excellent!

Skerries is well off the beaten track but well worth the effort. We all had the hand dived scallops with asparagus for starters followed by the Orcadian seafood platter and their seafood chowder. There was a selection of deserts plus coffee. There was also a selection of soft drinks wines and beers. The four of us had a great time . Thoroughly recommend Skerries.

It was excellent! The customer service was outstanding, and the food was delicious with reasonable prices. The sushi roll was served fresh from the kitchen. The seafood platter offered a great variety of seafood. We absolutely loved the rhubarb and pea salad, as well as the Orkney fudge cheesecake, which was made on-site. It’s a quiet and relaxing spot for lunch by the coast.
