Sea Breezes Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "Food was cooked to perfection and really good flavour combos."
• "The food in this place is outstanding. Had the scallop risotto and it was just utterly delicious."
• "The seafood platter for 2 which was excellent, the mussels and langoustines were particularly good👍."

Cons:

• "Service was brilliant but the food let it down. The lentil & parsnip soup was watery and bland."
• "Food not bad but nothing special either for the money you pay. Service very unfriendly."

• "Every item is overpriced, and the quality is nothing to write home about."
• "The seafood chowder wasn’t very thick or tasty."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff was helpful, the service was quick and the prices more than reasonable."

Cons:

• "Though the food was good, the service is off-putting."
• "Service: in general ok. They offered us bread for the soup and they never brought it."
• "Arrived for our 6:30pm booking and ordered mains, the food arrived as expected and ate it. Then ordered deserts with coffee, a few minutes after ordering the waiter came back and said we have to leave as the table has another booking for 8pm."
• "One of the staffs spilled soup over my new coat when she carried a plate."
• "The service was not very good (someone needs to teach the young servers who work here some proper customer service etiquette when speaking to people - not very personable to say the least)."

Reservation & Accessibility

Pros:

• "Definitely need a reservation to dine here."
• "It's tough getting a reservation but worth it."
• "Definitely recommended. You have to make reservation, or go at 5pm or rather late. Otherwise no chance to get a table."
• "Make reservations ahead of time! I made reservations 2 weeks prior, however, depending on when you go, you might need to give yourself more time."
• "Absolutely have a reservation in advance."
• "Make a reservation though."
• "Heads up you must BOOK, ideally before you arrive in Portree to avoid disappointment!!"

Cons:

• "Be aware that last order for lunch is at 2pm and they don’t accept guests after that time."
• "We would have loved to have tried this restaurant after a recommendation. However, it seems impossible to make a booking."
• "Online booking not working on either of our phones and mobile number outside rang out several times."
• "A seafood place that runs out of seafood."
• "We had a reservation but the host quickly argued with me when he couldn't find our reservation."
• "Big disappointment Booked a table 2 weeks ahead for diner at 7.30pm, expecting to have some langoustines or lobster. Unfortunately they already ran out of langoustines and daily special."
• "Very annoying having been suddenly asked to leave the restaurant and slightly embarrassing in front of other patrons as it looked as if we we're been kicked out."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Beautiful views of the bay and everything reasonably priced."
• "The food is priced reasonably compared to other Isle of Skye locations."
• "We thought it was a bit pricy. But when we started, we realise it worth the price."
• "The seafood plater for two was only £56! It would have cost us over £100 in London."
• "Under £ 90 for starters, speciality salmon and a couple of bottles of good wine."
• "Prices are fair and the food was very good (small selection)."
• "A must go!! Great money for value, delicious food served quickly!"

Cons:

• "They charged me 30pounds for a small piece of steak with 3 little potatoes."
• "Food is very basic and extremely overpriced. Taste is bad."
• "£11 for the skimpy cheese course was excessive."
• "The cheese plate was extortionate for what was served at over 10 pounds."
• "As with other restaurants on Skye expect tourist/London level prices."
• "Every item is overpriced, and the quality is nothing to write home about."
• "A bit of a rip off for a cheap steak but overall dinner was fine."
