"The greatest burger that ive ever had! The meat tasted so meaty and the quality of the starters/main were fantastic value for money! I've had much worse burgers at much fancier & expensive restaurants. Will definitely be making a trip back for that burger alone!"
ONLYMEGAN
"Very lovely place! Clean and esthetically pleasing interiors with a view of the loch. The food was delicious, I ordered the chicken tenders with BBQ sauce. One of the best I've tried in years.
I wish them the best! I'll definitely visit again if I pass by. Cheers!"

"This is a wonderful local place actually owned and operated by a local resident as opposed to some of the other local eating establishments which are corporate owned. The location is right on the loch. The interior is charming with eclectic inviting decor. We had the Japanese mussel dish which was a special for the night. It was a generous portion, spicy as promised, and really delicious. This restaurant was a great respite from the run of the mill Scotland standard fare."
