We arrived from glencoe and headed for something to eat. We dropped into this restaurant just before all the tour buses arrived.Very lucky. Service was friendly. Our meals came relatively quickly as the room filled up. Paid our bill upfront. Get there early before the lunch rush.Food was decent but not cullinary.

We stopped here for a bit of lunch on our last day in Skye. The tables are incredibly close to each other so you have no real room and feel like you're encroaching on other people's meals. The waiter we had forgot our drinks, and when I asked about the menu (as it seems there are misprints and items on some menus that aren't on others - the item in question was 13.95 on mine, but 8.95 on my partners, with no apparent reason why), the waiter just shrugged these differences off and gave a half hearted response, instead of actually going to check. Regardless, I brushed aside these issues as him maybe having a bad day. Until I surveyed around as to what the other staff were doing. Items on the menu being wrongly delivered to each table, starters and mains coming up together (one table had 10 plates on at once because of this - they weren't best pleased), but probably most concerning, was when a half veggie, half meat-eater group ordered their respective haggis's, but they just served whatever haggis they felt like. The food itself was ok, if not a bit greasy - but the portion size was adequate for the price, tasted fairly nice... Although my burger I ordered seemed to come on a plate which was far too small for the meal itself, so eating it was a bit if a struggle. But again, I powered through.It seemed to me that there was severe training issues in this establishment, and in particular with my waiter, he seemed to like spending his time working at the bar rather than hosting in the restaurant. The drinks (when we got them) were nice, they seem to take care of their draught pipes and all glassware was clean.TLDR; cramped, questionable service, wrong things being brought to tables, food not bad.The tables are quite close together but there is room to get between each one. We do have several new staff and I can only apologise that your drinks were forgotten. Regarding menus we shall check them for misprints, thankyou for advising us. Tables do often ask for their meals, especially if they are in a hurry, to all come out altogether and we do try and accommodate this. The veggie haggis and meat haggis do look different and I again can only apologise if the waiter did not point this out to the customer. You state our food was ok I am sorry that you did not rate it higher, all our meat burgers are made in our kitchen, by hand, and are extremely popular. So to recap I do apologise that you didn't think you had the best service, we do have new starts and I apologise that you did not consider them trained enough.

We ate breakfast at this location twice and dinner once. The breakfast included a buffet and a full service menu, both included in the price of the stay at the hotel. The breakfast was filling and tasty. Our dinner was also delicious but the true standout was the lemonade cake. We ordered one piece to share and wished we had ordered two!

My friend and I stayed on the Isle of Skye 2 nights and both nights found ourselves back in this great bar! The ambiance is lovely and the staff is OUTSTANDING!! Caroline helped us out both nights and she went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome and taken care of. She was so kind and attentive, as was the rest of the staff. Anyone who has had a negative experience at this place has only themselves to blame because it is a wonderful establishment! Thank you, Caroline for taking such great care of us! Will DEFINITELY return to this bar anytime I am back on the Isle of Skye!

Okay so we got into Portree at 8:30 pm off the last Mallaig ferry and didn't know where to eat. (Tip make reservations for 1.5 hours after you dock if you drive on-stop). The amazing looking Italian restaurant a couple of doors down was fully booked and we wanted to get going and so walked into this place. It looked like a cafeteria more than a restaurant but we figured it would be okay. I lucked out and ordered the steak pie. It may have been the only decent thing on the menu. The burger, veggie burger and fish were all the most basic and looked like they were all frozen moments earlier. Plan ahead!!
