"Maybe today was just the wrong day, but we had high expectations due to reviews. It turned out to be the greatest disappointment we ever had in eating in Scotland for almost 10 years Reception not unwilling, but no real time for customers due to lack of staff and tight schedule of reservations. Service hectic, unprofessional, no willingness to talk to us (foreign tourists not welcome? Noticed this also at other tourist tables... . Locals were told the whole board of specials, we had to go to the board. The restaurant absolutely crowded, damned hot and without any fresh air. Wine overpriced, quality of dishes less than average, not the level one would expect in regard to prices. Starters: Cullen Skink average and lukewarm, scallops also lukewarm and seemed to be not really fresh, not cooked to the point, pancetta not crispy but soggy. Mains should have been a half lobster. Well, served without appropriate cutlery, lukewarm and tough. In addition, masses of garlic chilli paste killed the flavour completely. This was the point where we left, Without having eaten mains we were just fed up!"

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent, and the service was outstanding. I dined in for lunch, and the price per person was between Β£20 and Β£30. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all as 5 out of 5. Highly recommended!

Great food and convivial atmosphere, service was good considering you have 2-3 staff front and back of house trying to handle 20-30 covers. We saw the reviews about this and these guys maybe slow by the standards of a big city BUT pretty quick compared to say Andaluzia or southern Italy! Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner View menu

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch today. Five adults, a toddler and a dog were warmly welcomed and looked after so well. The food was delicious, served thoughtfully and with care. We were not rushed despite lingering longer than usual. Excellent service and value! Looking forward to our next visit. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

**Dining Experience:** Dinner **Price Range:** Β£60–70 per person **Food Rating:** 5/5 **Service Rating:** 4/5 **Atmosphere Rating:** 3/5 **Recommended Dishes:** - Fish - Langoustine - Sticky Toffee Pudding with Vanilla Ice Cream - Seafood Chowder - Monkfish Overall, the meal was outstanding, especially the seafood dishes which were exceptionally fresh and flavorful. The service was good, but there’s a bit of room for improvement. The atmosphere was decent but could use some enhancements to create a more inviting environment. Don't miss the Sticky Toffee Pudding; it's a must-try!

Haven't been for a few years and really looked forward to another visit. Mistake!!! Staff member barely noticed us when we arrived other than to tell us that the card machine wasn't working and it was cash only. The menu was basic and uninspiring and the fact that nothing was available was a huge disappointment . Another table of people sat next to us and had similar feelings in regards to the menu. All in all, this former gem is a shadow of its former self and if you can go somewhere else then please do,this should be such a great place serving the best that the local waters can provide but it's simply not... unfortunate and in the current climate I can't see this place lasting the distance View menu

On a dark, rain-soaked night with strong winds howling outside, stepping into this cozy restaurant was a delightful escape. The warm glow of candlelight and the beautiful seaside artwork on the walls created a wonderfully inviting atmosphere. However, the true highlight of our visit was the attentive staff and the outstanding food. They even treated us to dessert after the kitchen had closed! I’m puzzled by some of the negative reviews, as our experience was entirely different. The service we received was on par with what we've experienced at Michelin-starred restaurants. The tableware was immaculate, and we never waited long for anything. Our server continually checked in to ensure everythi...

Our experience with this place was an utter disappointment. We had so much expectations since Google states that it is top rated in the area and Tarbert usually gets fresh fish and has a good reputation... Firstly, the staff was poorly trained and the oldest woman served us as if she was throwing a dish to dogs, as our starter literally clattered into the table. The glass in which my wine was served was dirty and upon my request to have a new glass I was met with a disdained glance and the waitress came back with the same glass half full with still the old wine and was just polished . The mains were basic, certainly not worth their prices! You will eat better food in other places spending le...
