Ambiance

Pros:

• "Great, centrally located place to eat in Portree."
• "Loved this place! Came for an evening meal in their outdoor greenhouses."
• "The restaurant gives you the feeling of being in a bar and therefore the dishes are very filling and big as to expect!"
• "This is more like a restaurant disguised as a pub - food was beautifully arranged and of a high standard!"

Cons:

• "While the ambiance might be less appealing than other places in Portree, the food definitely is worth it."
• "I felt like sitting in a lobby, not in a restaurant, wasn't cosy."
• "It was quite full when we arrived, but they got us a table, a pity that the greenhouses outside were not in use."
• "The place a bit small though, so booking in advance is highly recommended."
