Food Quality
Pros:
"Fresh flaky fish in batter, crispy chips and garden peas."
"Exquisite food."
"The menu was good and food well executed."
"Food very tasty and beautifully presented. Fish very fresh and really enjoyed all courses."
"The food was exceptional and so fresh and boasted some of the best portion sizes for your money."
"The food was fantastic. The fish was lovely, in a light crispy batter, and it was a very good size portion of fish too."
"The food was delicious, faultless."
Cons:
"The final product was nowhere near the same league."
"For mains my partner ordered the venison burger which tasted nothing like any venison I have ever tasted before. It was very chewy, overcooked and had a strange flavour to it."
"The lack of seafood options was disappointing."
"I had the chicken parm and it really was very poor, it tasted like a piece of frozen chicken over cooked."
"The vegetables are served warm..not hot (as should be) and when you complain, it clearly sends them and the kitchen into mayhem."
"Food was lukewarm (which doesn't work with sprouts in particular) and a bit sparse for the money."
"Majority of food was perfect but the Spicy Vegetable Filo Pastry was awful overcooked & very dry."
Service
Pros:
"Staff were friendly and very accommodating they allowed us decorate the table and bring along a cake."
"The service was attentive when required."
"Service was speedy and attentive."
"The staff were great and friendly."
"Fantastic service from staff, covid seating and compliance, I really can't fault this restaurant."
"The greeting we got was friendly and professional and the service was second to none."
"Service provided by attentive but not intrusive polite and friendly staff."
Cons:
"terrible customer service, only went in for a drink, first waitress said someone would be with us, second staff member told us to take a seat & someone would take our order. Still no service so we went up to the bar & barman said take a seat & he'd be right over, he then started serving others that came in after us."
"The restaurant was empty and it took ages for them to bring us our coffee."
"The night we were there they were very busy and a side dish was forgotten."
"Absolutely appalling. Couldn’t get a basic meal out for 2 adults and 2 kids in less than 45mins."
"Superb setting & lovely restaurant but sadly sat for 25 minutes & eventually had to ask to have our order taken."
"The waitresses seemed very inexperienced and not too bothered about customer service. I think they need more training."
"The nice view was massively hampered by extremely poor service. All personnel seemed at a rush."
Atmosphere & Location
Pros:
"Got a table right at the window which watching the sun setting is amazing."
"A very relaxed, lovely place to be with friends."
"The views are spectacular."
"A friendly inviting atmosphere with a genuine family touch."
"Location second to none with unbelievable views across the firth."
"Views are stunning over the sea."
"The restaurant offers a gorgeous view on the bay."
Cons:
"The only problem was that it was quite loud - which I think might be a result of the hard floor."
"Acoustics awful. As we were near a noisy table it was impossible to have a conversation, which sort of ruined things."
"The place is quite loud at busy times."
"Place a bit run down needing tlc.. kids entertainment needs to be updated."
"At 19:30 the menu was severely depleted, resulting in mediocre pub grub."
"Yet it tasted like it hadn't been seasoned at all, was quite dry (used to be lovely and juicy) and the peppercorn sauce was very watery."
"I thought it was a bit weird having a window at the urinals, I'm 6ft 6ins so my face was right in full view while families were walking past."
Value
Pros:
"Serves Breakfast, Lunch & Snacks at reasonable prices."
"The price for the food was acceptable but I think drinks were overpriced hence the 4 stars."
"We got this bill at the end of the meal and it was very reasonably priced for what we received."
"Not the cheapest meal we’ve had this trip, but to my mind, well worth the money, good stuff."
"Very tasty food, we had a three course Sunday roast meal for £19,50 per person - best roast (and cheapest) I’ve had in a long time."
"4 meals and 6 drinks for £35 very pleased! Highly recommend."
"The food and drinks are not over priced, the portion size was in my opinion generous compared to many others on a like for like basis."
Cons:
"We find the dessert menu always a bit limited... and the drinks and wine menu has got so expensive in the past year or so, £30 for a bottle of Shiraz is outrageous and the cheapest bottle around £24, glass prices are also creeping up."
"Not to mention overpriced."
"Pricing on menu ludicrously complicated, when questioned even the staff had difficulty explaining."
"Many advertised beers/cocktails unavailable."
"Food was lukewarm (which doesn't work with sprouts in particular) and a bit sparse for the money."
"Would have loved to eat here but was closed on Tuesday even when their own website says they are open."
"Visited here and ordered (to my surprise) one of the few seafood dishes on the menu... the 'cold seafood platter' was clearly all from a supermarket packet."
