Very crowded and the meal was in the Pub. Dining room is open for breakfast in the other building. We were seated quickly and hen it all slowed down. Drinks came and eventually some really good food. But drinks were not topped up. It was really crowded, and the bar patrons were standing making it appear worse. It was also quite noisy with so many people.

I had the fish and chips. They were good. Service was very good. Atmosphere was good. My ratings are against a regular USA restaurant. I do not take into count that we are in the middle of nowhere.

On a Monday evening there is no other choice in Dornie. The menu is a bit limited. The restaurant is essentially a side room to the bar. Plain and unfussy. The food was OK, nothing you could complain about. But nothing to get excited about. The stew was meaty and a decent size though the potato portion was a bit small. Domestic food not restaurant food. Fish and chips is always going to be just fish and chips. The prices felt a little high for simple food in a plain rural setting. I expected more from a £12 cheeseboard but it was dull. Nothing that made me say 'that was nice, what cheese was that exactly? The toffee pudding was , I guess, just as it came off the suppliers van. When my wife asked for custard rather than the offered ice cream (in October) the reply was a terse "we don't do custard". Who doesn't have custard in the cupboard? So, yes, it filled a hole but if there was any local competition I doubt this restaurant would last long.

Was recommended to eat here whilst staying in Dornie. The place has transformed from the awful reviews online. 3 had surf and turf, I had the seafood platter (look at the picture). It was the best platter I have ever eaten, and I just made it, it was fresh, plentiful and tasty. This was the best quality meal and service in our 7 night tour of Scotland.

I would like to review the food here but can’t because: We turned up and ordered our food, one of the first people to do so, sat inside in the cold and waited, waited waited and waited some more. We waited for over 45 minutes but held out because we were hungry and there isn’t much else around. When other people who turned up after us started getting their food I asked where ours was. We are just checking was the reply. Another meal for another person after us came out. Enough was enough. We left and got no real apology, just excuses as to why we didn’t get our food. How generous of them to let us off from paying for our drinks, which wouldn’t have amounted to much anyway. Do yourself a favour and find some where else. I have reviewed many places and I don’t very often give a 1 star review. If there were the option for zero stars this place would get it.

Moules à la thaï à découvrir et frites bien cuites (c'est un Belge qui vous le dit ;-) ) Très bon service assuré par la jeune fille.

Have no idea how this place is able to big up their food and seafood….and then serve what they do on arrival! The worst meal I’ve ever had. But the fact that it was a wedding meal, I did not complain as to not offend the married couple. Pate - just tasted off. With some sort of stale bread. Seafood platter? The langoustine had hundreds of little orange eggs underneath? The rest was either not fresh or just badly cooked and ruined. Chicken and rice main course. Bland and dry and wasn’t even told what it was. Dessert was a dry chocolate cake. To top off of, one of the young female waitresses kept on hanging around the men at the tables watching the football and even sat down at the wedding meal and ate a dessert! Mind blown that this was all paid for, and I don’t think it was cheap.

Had a table booked in advance for about ten days. Rang up four hours before to confirm time and was told that the chef had to leave and they were closed. Didn't I get a message? Oh,no? sorry. Local pub does not do food on a Tuesday and the pizza take away also closed on Tuesdays. Had a cheese roll in the car that luckily we still had as all other alternatives were 8 miles away.

We’d previously taken dinner when the chef ran the Seafood restaurant in Kyle, the move to the hotel has maintained the excellent quality of food, choice and presentation, now in a larger room. We had three courses each, with all of us selecting the monkfish main. It was delicious and moist, the mash potato side was rich and creamy. We thoroughly enjoyed the meal and the ambiance. Service was efficient and the staff were helpful and very friendly without being over officious. We were so pleased that the transition of the restaurant from the railway platform to a hotel hasn’t lost any of its special quality. We are travelling again in April next year and this rest will certainly by on our list.

The chairs were all covered with crumbs and there was rubbish on the floor. The food was very average for the price. We were not given side plates for our bread and the wine that was ordered did not arrive. The meal was okay but not exceptional, so it was more the service and cost that was the issue.

We decided to order a starter each and share the fish platter, as the waitress advised us this would be adequate, and if we weren’t full, there was always deserts. After a short while the waitress returned and advised us to pick something else as the kitchen had run out of oysters and langoustines. I asked if they could do a reduced platter with the stock they do have, and then me and my partner would additionally share something else on the menu. After speaking with the kitchen she confirmed this was possible. The meals arrived and we were more than satisfied with the quality of the food. The issue came when we were brought the bill and the fish platter was still itemised at full price (£35 no less!). I questioned this and the woman serving nipped in to the kitchen as she was not aware of what had been arranged. When she returned she said the other items had been doubled up to compensate for the missing oysters and langoustines. I accepted this and paid, but couldn’t help but feel I had the rough end of the bargain! Why were we advised to order more if the portions would be compensated? I also looked at some of the pictures on other reviews and it doesn’t look as if the portions were doubled at all (see photo). A real shame as we were looking forward to the evening but this left us feeling a bit ripped off!

This is an excellent place focusing on seafood. I suspect previous review may reflect a different chef. The seafood is superb. I had the chowder to begin, which was the best I have had. There was a langoustine popping out the surface but below there was all sorts of goodies. The radios platter was very good. Nice and fresh and well presented from local catches. The smoked salmon was excellent and the langoustine were lovely and sweet. Desert was cranachan and was done nicely. It was difficult for dessert to come close to the seafood. Other diners choices all looked very good too.

The staff were a delight too and really went above and beyond with our wee dog ( they are allowed outside or quietly under the table in the bar, as you would expect and indeed wish, not the restaurant ) Fresh seafood, beautifully cooked. We are both far travelled and with one coeliac we have seen it all over many decades. This is exceptional, don’t miss it. Thanks to all the staff for our lovely chowder and scallops

We have visited the Waterside seafood restaurant when it was in Kyle of Lochalsh, and it was a wonderful experience. On the same trip sonme years ago we also ate at the Dornie |Hotel - not in the least memorable.This visit to the new Waterside restaurant in the Dornie hotel was excellent. The service was very good, the food was extra special, and I really liked the decor [including the Janet McRorie paintings which they brought from the old Waterside]We had squid as a starter, beautifully cooked, light and tasty, then He had the lamb shank - the meat just fell of the bone and that lamb had big legs because there was loads of meat and creamy mash with it. I had an enormous dish of langoustines, large ones with plenty of firm meat - loads of meat in the claws too! He had a Tia Maria Trifle which he raved over and I had the cheeseboard with a selection of local-ish cheeses and fruit and chutney. It was a superb meal and more than lived up to expectations.

Absolutely amazing - food was spectacular and the staff could not have been more attentive. Millie and Charlie were brilliant, making sure we were happy with everything and bringing us the lovely food. We mostly all had the seafood and have never tasted anything like it. My 12 year old loved the mussels and the Halloumi. The blood orange sorbet was superb and the warmed carrot cake was a big hit too. Beautiful surroundings to top it all off. Highly recommend it - will definitely visit again.

It was great to find the Dornie Hotel under new management this year and producing fabulous fresh local seafood plates. We shouldn’t have been surprised as this was the same team who ran the long established and successful seafood restaurant at the railway station in Kyle of Lochalsh. If you are looking for a great meal in lovely surroundings look no further than the restaurant at the Dornie Hotel, right at the water’s edge.

We recently stayed in the Dornie Wigwams which is a short drive from the Dornie Hotel. After a full day of exploring Skye we decided to stop at the hotel for dinner on the way back to our wigwam. It was the only bar/restaurant open in Dornie at this time of year. The bar/restaurant is a little dated but it's cosy and the staff were lovely. We had the haggis tower to share as a starter then the chicken penne pasta and fish and chips as mains. All of our food was really tasty and good sized portions. It was good hearty pub grub which we couldn't complain about after a busy day of sight seeing. They also allow dogs which was a bonus for us. We would visit again.

When we stayed in Dornie, it was the only restaurant opened! However, we didn't feel we had to make any sacrifice. We had among our best haggis (with a whiskey sauce) in Scotland. Prawns could not be any fresher. They were caught nearby (our waiter showed us where with his finger pointing the loch) and delivered an hour before we arrived. The same apply to other sea food we had.Reservation is highly recommended as this is also the dining room of the client’s hotel.The staff is very busy, but equally friendly.

Per la cena della seconda sera, abbiamo prenotato alcuni piatti di "langostine/scampi" in quanto molto improbabile trovarli se non su prenotazione.

A Long wait and mediocre food. Had we told from the outset that there would be a one hour wait for our meal we would have gone elsewhere. The salmon pesto pasta at £14.95 was not cheap and the sirloin steak at £25.95 was gristly so a good portion was left uneaten.

Eileen Donan Castle is Scotlands best looking castle. Make sure you are there when the sun is setting as it is very good for photography. Lots of history and a vedry good museum close by. Stay in Dornie as it's a very quaint village.

We came here for late lunch after visiting Eilean Donan. Pub is a bit small and crowded but none the less the food is declious! Would definitely recommend the burger or the goulash! They serve some of the best chips around.

We stopped off for a meal with friends, the food and atmosphere were amazing. The bar was in full swing and nothing was too much trouble for the kitchen who had to put up with a bunch of picky eaters. Our waiter was a great laugh and we all felt at home. Can't wait to visit again!

We had breakfast here after spending the night in the hotel. Average food prepared well and served by an unhappy person best describes it. A return good morning should not be a labour for someone in the customer service industry and simply placing food on...

Credit where its due the food was very good (even though the sweets were very expensive!), however, one particular member of staff stood out for the wrong reasons!...the Scots describe the attitude displayed as "dour" (excuse the spelling) her being miserable, unfriendly and frankly unwelcoming....definitely in the wrong job and requiring a crash course in customer service!

I had great food here while waiting for the sunset to begin so that I could see it over Eilean Donan Castle. I had a burger and it was delicious, well worth what I paid for it, and the outside area was lovely. An easily...

On our way from Isle of Syke to Fort William, we stopped for lunch at the Dornie Hotel from searching on TA. The reviews were a bit mixed, but in general supportive of their food. As a country pub, the setting was fine and the...

Ottimo sea food platter, molto abbondante (non siamo riusciti a finirlo in due persone, avevamo preso anche un piatto di salmone e scallops di antipasto)

Terribile la pizzetta per mio figlio, ma il pesce non male, peccato che fosse freddo piú che fresco....freddo proprio di frigorifero...comunque buon sapore, abbondante e a prezzo giusto. Locale evitabile ma servizio cortese

Service was excellent. Highly recommend the Cullen Skink and Scallops. You might need to book in season. The bar area for eating could do with a bit of a refurb though.

Had dinner here twice while staying at the hotel. We enjoyed our meal on both nights. Seafood platter was fresh and well presented, chicken in mushroom sauce very tasty. Key lime pie was also enjoyable. Service could be a liitle more attentive but in all fairness they were very busy.

Siamo stati a cena, la scena dei piatti sul menu consiste in 5 portate. Peccato che la sera della nostra cena 2 portate non erano disponibili, abbiamo preso le langoustine e haddock fritto. Nessuno dei 2 piatti era decente. Le langoustine erano piccanti e quindi coprivano il sapore del pesce, e per quanto riguarda il fritto ne abbiamo mangiati di meglio. Il personale è freddo e scortese.

Dopo la visita all'Elaine Donan Castle l'unico ristorante in cui mangiare aperto era proprio il Dornie Hotel che si trova a meno di 5 minuti nel villaggio di Dornie.L'hotel è molto semplice, le pareti solo un po' scure tipiche dei pub.Il menù non prevede grande scelta.Il Fish & Chips discreto ma con una pastella davvero troppo spessa e unta (so che è fritto ma da altre partì l'abbiamo assaggiato più asciutto e non grondante olio!!) che abbiamo dovuto tutti scartare, il pesce in se però era buono e gustoso così come le patatine.Molto più buono e consiglio l'hamburger ! Personale gentile e disponibile.

We were recommended to try the Seafood Platter at the Dornie Hotel restaurant. 'Sorry,' we were informed on arrival, 'no seafood platter and no langoustines.' Disappointed, I opted for the vegetarian alternatives. Starter; baked camembert and Main; vegetable curry (with carrots, cauliflower and potatoes. The Camembert was lukewarm but I was hungry. The curry - god what a disaster! There was one piece of cauliflower and seven small roast potatoes (presumable left over from Sunday roast), floating in a sauce of chopped tomatoes, peas and chickpeas. Not a carrot in sight. Spices were equally unapparent. The rice was okay and the onion bhaji on top did slightly resemble one. The final straw was the blank look on the waitress's face when I asked for mango chutney in a desperate attempt to jolly the dish up. This is the worst review I have ever given and it is well deserved!

After walking about Eilean Donan Castle, we all needed a hearty meal. We drove across the river to the Dornie Hotel for lunch.The beer was enjoyable, and the food was hot and served in a good quantity.The four of us enjoyed our meals and the relaxation within the hotel. The service was okay.

Cuisine bas de gamme, sans saveur ni originalité. Grosse déception : alors que l'affiche extérieure vante les fruits de mer locaux, il n'y en avait pas. Bon on va se rabattre sur un steack, bah non : il n'y en a pas non plus !Curry végétarien mauvais, goulash d'agneau idem. Soupe correcte.Voir notre avis sur l'hôtel pour le petit dej sans option végétarienne et pas vraiment "scottish".

Scoraggiati dal fatto che il castello, il parcheggio e l'annesso ristorante erano affollati, abbiamo ripiegato su questo ristorante non lontano .menu classico per un locale di stampo tradizionale,dove è presente anche un tavolo da biliardo. Abbiamo preso due hamburger che non erano male, ottime le patatine fritte . Servizio gentile ma un po' lento.da andarci se si vuole sfuggire alla ressa che c'è nei dintorni del castello. Abbiamo speso 30 £ con il bere .
