"We dined here two nights ago on our last night in Loch Lomond. We had pre booked given the situation with Covid and that there weren't a lot of other restaurants/hotels in the area we were staying to get to on foot. We were not disappointed. I have read other reviews which are negative and I can't understand them. The restaurant staff were very accommodating allowing us to come a couple of hours earlier to have a drink. We sat outside overlooking the Loch amazing views, and then when it was getting a bit chilly we came in and sat in the lobby. The adherence to social distancing and health and safety was very good, they had a one way system and all of the staff wore masks when walking about and serving. It is a lovely venue. When we went into the main restaurant to eat, we were aware there were probably a lot less people in than usual due to the fact that they will be limited on numbers. That said, it was full, and there was a lovely cosy atmosphere. The food however was the crowning glory. The menu itself had the usual mains (fish and chips, burgers etc) but they had specials and we ordered two steaks, with a pepper sauce and black pudding. They were absolutely beautiful, cooked just right and so tasty. The starter prawns that we shared were so tasty as well. We felt it was reasonably priced for the venue and type of food we ordered and you could eat cheaper if you wanted something like a burger, however we were treating ourselves as it was our last night. I can't find any complaint and I can only say the staff were extremely helpful and I feel for them given what must be quite stressful times having to adhere to the Covid regulations and have less diners due to that. An earlier comment about no draft beer again I don't think this is something that is a major fault and my partner (who loves his draft lager) was quite happy to have a larger bottle of one of those available. I cannot say anything negative about this place and I would definitely recommend dining here."

It was a lovely Sunday evening, nothing bad to say about this place. Great tasting food, good portions, polite and welcoming waiters. Definitely go!

Great tiger prawns to start and chocolate brownie to finish. The goats cheese ravioli for mains was disappointing as the pasta wasn’t fresh. The restaurant had a beautiful view over Loch Lomond and good service.

The tables seem a little lost due to Covid restrictions and the very high ceilings, which did not help to create an atmosphere, so the evening was a bit bland. Service was good, plenty of staff to serve. Pub style food but it was very good, and everyone enjoyed their starters and mains.

Visited with my partner and our 2 teenage daughters on the last night of our holiday. Service was fantastic, waiting staff very attentive and helpful. Food was delicious and the setting stunning. We were blessed with a beautiful evening sunset over the Loch too. We sat outside to eat and admired the beautiful view. Fantastic last night.

Fantastic location by Loch Lomond breathtaking! Unfortunately this does not goes for the restaurant;1) waiter demonstrating very limited knowledge about the fish on the menu 2) food served before drinks!3) No draft beer offered....4) Overcooked fish and very very salty5) No vegetables...If you are out for a meal I suggest you look elsewhere!

Staying local so came here for a meal. Booked in advance and reserved a table in the window over looking the stunning views of Loch Lomond. Soup chicken wings as starters were both delicious as was the fish chips burger mains. I was looking forward to dessert but was far too full had to decline. Staff were friendly, polite, professional efficient. All were wearing face masks. It felt very safe in the current covid times.

Visited for our friend's wedding. Venue was stunning, set out beautifully and very clean. The weather was beautiful so we got to enjoy the gorgeous views, drinks were reasonably priced to. My husband was in a wheelchair after just having an operation and the staff were very helpful, particularly Jack who went above and beyond to help, he even made time to come and check on us several times throughout the day, fetching ice for his leg ect....very polite and easy to talk to making our experience enjoyable. The only downside was the gab between the service at 1pm and the meal at 5pm with no food in between, not sure if this is the normal layout for their weddings but maybe canapés or something...

My husband and I visited here on the August bank holiday weekend and I have to say that this restaurant is a lovely, little gem. We found this restaurant by chance through searching for places to eat in the area on our weekend away and we were not disappointed. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the service was excellent. The food arrived promptly and tasted really nice! My partner and I both ordered the steak and ale pie with chips and broccoli off the specials menu and garlic buttered sourdough on the side which were both so nice! Then for dessert I got the chocolate orange cheesecake with ice cream and my partner got the chocolate brownie with cream which were both excellent....

"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."
