Reviewed By St_matty - Spring, Texas
Went in here on the way to Loch Ness. Ordered two of the breakfasts which took a little time but was told the chef was new. They were worth the wait. Food was very nice. Staff were extremely friendly. Good place to stop off for breakfast. Once the chef gets used to the place it will be 5 stars
2. Ciro's Italian Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 350 reviews
Reviewed By nulautre91 - Dighton, Massachusetts
Extremely disturbed by Pat M's review of Ciro's giving it a 1 due to it being closed due to a fire. How rude. She has obviously never ate at Ciro's whose food is AMAZING!! We were early and freezing and the waitress let us in a little earlier so we could warm up. The bruschetta was awesome and my husband had the haggis lasagna and ate it all, cleaned his plate...my husband NEVER cleans his plate!! It is upsetting that someone would be allowed to leave the type of review that Pat M did. I trust TripAdvisor to remove it .

Wonderful fresh food, served by helpful and friendly staff. Our fish and chips was the freshest and most delicious we've had. The homemade tartare sauce was wonderful. And finally the calamari was really nice; beautifully cooked in an interesting batter. Great place

Having passed previously we wanted to stop and see if the food was as good as the place looked .
We only had time for coffee and shortbread (vanilla shortbread )but both were great and the view was stunning.
This place has a really lovely feel to it and the staff were friendly and welcoming.
We will be back for lunch in the near future as anywhere that is full on a snowy sun in Scotland has to be special

We were staying very close to The Byre Inn and it seemed handy for a Sunday meal. We really enjoyed the burger (probably one of the best!) and haggis, neeps and tatties. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was lacking a bit. We might return again during a...MoreThanks for your review ?

Excellent food that justifies the price-point. Some of the beast scallops ever tasted. Beautiful lamb. Delightful chocolate dessert.

Having had a delightful dinner for two recently, we decided to return for a Christmas dinner catch up with friends. We like the cosy Scottish French bistro style of the dining rooms where you can enjoy great cooking without the fuss of table cloths. The rooms are small enough for the experience to feel intimate. The chef owner couple previously worked at Gleneagles Hotel, so the menu offers creative flavours and flair without being over the top and at a price point that many restaurants charge for average fish and chips or steak pie. The Turkey was succulent including the brown meat and I loved the home made bread sauce, cranberry and trimmings. I enjoyed the salmon terrine with lemon curd too. A lovely combination. The puddings were too pretty to eat but too tasty to leave. We will definitely be back for more of this creative rustic tasty cooking. The young front of house service team are the icing on the cake.

Family owned pub/restaurant offering local fresh produce in the beautiful surroundings of the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Disabled accessible and family/dog friendly.
Reviewed By StagDad
Being fairly local, we went here for a nice Mother’s Day lunch after previous visits a few years ago and it’s fair to say it will be our last visit. With only four or five tables running we waited 45 minutes for our food. My vegetables were grossly undercooked, and the “special” fish pie was simply piped mashed potato (which wasn’t put under a grill) sitting on a watery soup with undercooked fish in it. My wife’s fish and chips was classic Scottish over-battered, over fried fish. Our very friendly waitress seemed unsurprised about our comments and suggested I speak to the “supervisor” which I did. On mentioning my disappointment with the fish pie, his response was “I don’t really know anything about fish pie....” while happily processing my credit card for the bill.
No sign of either a manager or an owner on a favourite family Sunday lunch occasion -said it all I’m afraid. Wouldn’t recommend this at all.
9. Cafe Circa at the Atrium
Overall Ratings
4 based on 185 reviews
Cafe Circa at the Atrium is a smart table service licenced restaurant, newly refurbished and spacious with comfortable Seating and couches. The relaxing warm dining room has a great ambiance and nice views of Ben Ledi and the Crags. The food is freshly prepared and cooked to order, gluten free dining is the norm not the exception. Our menu is small and seasonal, guaranteed fresh. We use quality meats from an award winning local butcher and fresh Scottish landed fish from award winning local fish monger. The Home baking is done in-house daily and won a Scottish baking award last year.

10. Roman Camp Hotel Restaurant
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 125 reviews
Reviewed By MattSt - London, United Kingdom
The tasting menu was excellent and included vegetarian alternatives. Several memorable dishes and the hake was outstanding. Service was impeccable - rather formal but will make it feel special if you like being pampered. Your napkin will be placed on your lap and the wine poured for you. We were started off with aperitifs and canapés in the lounge and then led through to our lovely table in the dining room which looked absolutely spectacular.
Overall I'd say great value for the quality of food and experience - about £150 for two with top class G&Ts, a bottle of wine and liqueurs.
There were other parties dining with very well behaved children who were treated kindly by the staff.
