"The food was at best average, at worst in edible. The waiters forgot items, got orders wrong and were generally unhelpful and could not have been more indifferent. Garlic mushrooms in puff pastry had no garlic and was swimming in gravy making the pastry soggy. One dessert ordered was Cranachen which contained raw oats and had be sent back. The sticky toffee pudding had been microwaved and was stone cold in places, tepid in others.Will not be returning."

Service was only average. It was a little slow, and the food although adequate was not inspiring. (Sorry folks)

The food was delicious and portions were generous. There was a great view of the harbour. We had a bit of a wait for the food because it was very busy. View menu

We ate here last year and again this year, food was excellent, well prepared and tasty, service was good. Prices are reasonable and I would without hesitation eat here again.

We wanted to go to the pub and have a pint and some food, but wouldn't go inside. The pub looked sketchy and there was really loud music spilling out the door. It's a shame because it looks like White Hart could be a great place. If you're a tourist, go to the Hotel Islay instead. Very classy. View menu

Went for an evening meal, had very tasty burgers, plenty of food and very good quality. Staff were pleasant, there was one ale to try, so good at least for that, the place was very quiet on a Sat evening but therefore also cosy. Very good prices, we didn't wait long at all, and altogether were very happy with the choice.

Really good value for money with local produce. The chef clearly took pride in the presentation of the food adding a more modern slant on some pub classics. We ate in the bar which would've been quite cosy if there was some background music on. It all just felt a bit like we shouldn't have been there. We didn't stay for another drink but went to the Islay Hotel for the rest of the evening

"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."
