Luss Seafood Bar in Argyll & Bute

So disappointed. Disgusting meal. 4 fish suppers the WORST I’ve ever had in 40+ years! Burnt batter, fish was dry like Refried?? Bag dripping with grease.chips not your normal chippy chips! I’m sure they are like aunty bessies home style chucked in a fryer. So salty. Absolutely BOGGING!

Poor quality, more like fried potatoes than chips and I’ve seen bigger minnows for what they call fish. Lukewarm as someone else said. Squid rings you had to hunt for the squid in the so called “squid rings” so much oil/grease the bottom fell out my takeaway bag! Will not be back!

Went on Saturday.Was not a great experience,I like the rest of my part of 4 don’t mind paying extra for exceptional quality.Unfortunately that is not what we got,very small fish,chips were luckwarm

e were told that this place would be expensive and probably disappointing.We tried to go there despite what we were told but were told it closed at 6pm?How onmearth can a F & C bar close at that time in the evening when you have Campsites nearby where it would be an ideal meal for an evening?Very strange to run a business like this

Only a few items available on the menu, which is fine as we are just coming through Covid. However I would expect the dishes that are on to be fresh. My haddock was clearly re-fried, it was dry and the batter was a dark brown colour. The butter was rock hard and with plastic knives impossible to spread, one of the bun's was dry and slightly burnt on top (another customer sent his back). I asked for a real knife to spread the butter, which was a waste of time as the assistant wasn't the slightest bit interested. My husbands cod was ok although a very small portion for the price tag of £9.50! To top it all they were out of vinegar!! As a substitute they gave us HP Brown sauce, bizarre! I did not complain at the time because as I stated the staff were not the least bit interested!

We went here as a family for lunch today We ordered 2 cod “suppers” and mushy peas The chips were very chunky and burnt , the cod was the tiniest piece of cod I have ever got at a chippy in the whole of the Uk in 30 odd years When we complained they said the natural sugar in the potatoes caused the burning effect !V poor and can’t believe what they’re serving

The seafood in this restaurant is perfect. We had a Cullen Skink with a glass of white wine and enjoyed.

Staying in Stirling. Came here, as on previous visits, food has been excellent. Got here at 3.20, to be told they weren’t serving food till 5. I pointed out that their Facebook page and website, Did not say this and they should be open. Not even an apology. Very disappointing as we have always enjoyed the food. It isn’t difficult to update Social Media and your website. People should not be expected to guess when you are open.

We ordered Cullen Skink soup and avocado on toast for Lunch. The soup was served in a desert bowl and the sandwich consisted of just one slice of bread with some avocado on it. Both were very small portions and not worth the price (9£ each).

Had a fabulous lunch. Superb food and service! Highly recommended! We were also lucky enough to have witnessed this amazing rainbow in Loch Lomond.

We had a great experience here. The kids meals were home-cooked and of good quality. Adults had the platter from the local smokehouse, which was utterly bomb. The pate needs a special mention. Washed down with a crisp cold glass of white. Nothing approaching a complaint.

Arrived on a cold wet Monday lunchtime with a dog. Sort of dog friendly but not allowed in restaurant only the outside areas that had an awning. We sat down and were given menus and a long list of what seafood wasn’t available which was very disappointing. We ordered our food from the limited menu, 2 of us had the salmon brioche and 2 had the crayfish sandwich, they were expensive at £9 each and came with less than fresh bread and rolls and a few greasy salad leaves. A pot of coleslaw or a more hearty salad would have made these meals better value. Another party member had the tomato and mozzarella salad - a total of 4 bits of tomato was in the salad again we have have had better. Be aware that an automatic service charge of 10% is added to bills. We wont be returning for a few reasons, cold seating area, limited seafood and expensive.

Meal was on the menu as a sort of fish pie with salmon prawn and haddock but when it arrived it was missing two thirds of ingredients. The staff started cleaning the toilet and left toilet door open, very suttle for us to leave.Then a service charge was automatically added to bill. I asked for this to be removed due to poor meal and service but this met with objection. Really not a good experience and will not return.

Friendly, charismatic staff - smoked seafood sharing platter was by far the best we've ever tasted in Scotland.

Our group of 5 had lunch at the Luss Seafood Bar. As others have pointed out, the lunch menu is quite limited but everything we tried was fresh and well prepared. The salmon, supplied by the smokehouse next door, is some of the best I've had. However, the service was very slow and they seem to be understaffed. All the dishes we ordered were cold, yet we still had to wait almost half an hour after ordering.

I have been here 3 times now but every time it gets worse. Not sure why this should be classified as a seafood bar, when all you can get is bread with smoked salmon, which is the same thing you can buy at the smoke house located few meters away for a cheaper price. We had to wait ages to get 3 sandwiches and it was clear the place is understaff. One of the waitress was particularly rude and annoyed by customers. Even simple requests seemed to be impossible,like having an extra slice of bread. I will not go back to this overpriced bar...

Deludente. Oggi 30 agosto abbiamo ordinato insalata con salmone arrosto e pesce affumicato. Ci hanno portato un'insalata di lattuga affogata nella maionese con alcune acciughe e alcuni pezzetti di pesce bianco. La cameriera è fuggita in cucina mentre le dicevo che evidentemente aveva sbagliato la portata e non è più riapparsa. Ho mandato il barman a chiamarla e mentre le parlava attraverso la porta della cucina questa stava abbuffandosi a quattro palmenti. Il barman è venuto a dirci che il piatto era giusto sostenendo che le acciughe erano il pesce affumicato e che i 3 pezzetti di pesce bianco erano il salmone arrosto. Abbiamo lasciato i non pochi euro del conto e ce ne siamo andati. Braccia rubate all'agricoltura...

We have visited Luss a number of times and are staying nearby. Went in at 2:45 asking if we could have a table and had rather surly reply that the kitchen shuts in 45 mins and that a load of people came in and it wasn’t worth waiting for a table. We observed many people finishing and wanting to leave. Maybe in such a touristy area you can get away with a lack of customer service. When you run your own business in a customer service industry yourself it is sad to experience.

We decided to go here as it was advertised as being able to cater for gluten free, however, upon arrival there was a limited availability of food and when I asked about gluten free bread, the staff said that there was nothing available, I started to complain about the fact I had done my research and it did state on trip advisor that the restaurant could cater for gluten free, one of the staff checked and suddenly they found some gluten free bread, so we ordered the seafood platter (no prices on the board). It was worth the wait but the platter did need a salad with it as there was quite a lot of salmon.

Sorry to dissapoint this is not a seafood restaurant it is a sandwich bar serving seafood on sandwiches,toast etc it is like your local chinese menu for seafood,Prawn curry,Prawn vindaloo etc.I did have oysters I did have fish but the hot platter,well yes nice nothing great. and not hot The menu was rubbish it is supposed to be a seafood restaurant,no variety of dishes,no chips,no potatoes,no veg nothing to accompany the dish,service slow,they ran out of soup.oysters,mussels what of sort of impression does that give to Scotland.

Situato nell'incantevole paesino di Luss, questo ristorante è vivamente consigliato per chi ama il salmone, ma quello di qualità. Insalata di salmone e lattuga assolutamente da non perdere. L'unico neo è che non vendono birre. Prezzo contenuto

Went there a while ago and will be going back tomorrow. Very good. We had the Cullen Skink which is a sort of fish soup made with smoked haddock mainly.

We visited Luss and decided to try out this restaurant. The menu at first glance looked good, small, mainly sandwiches etc but it did appeal to us. The service was good however it took at least 35 minutes for the food (mussels, pate, sandwich, egg/salmon toast.) to arrive and it was not busy at time of ordering. The food looked nicely presented but the portions are very small for the prices you pay. The pate was a huge disappointment, it was a small scoop on the toughest toasted sourdough bread we have ever had. Older clientele like our guests could not even cut through the sourdough toast, they tried to bite it and nearly broke a tooth. The seating area outside was good but could do with cushions as it was low down and again very difficult for any elderly to sit and eat comfortably with no back support. If the management looked at some details like the sourdough being tough it would be a great place however for what the prices are we were not convinced it was worth it. The photos show the size of portions

Delicious seafood lunch in very nice surroundings. Staff friendly and a shop up a few stairs! Great start to a holiday weekend.

Hadn’t been for a couple of years but our visit today was just as tasty as the last time! The sun was shining so we sat on the terrace... I had the crayfish sandwich which so fresh and delicious, my husband had the eggs royale and loved it and our little one had a kids portion of macaroni taste, really cheesy and lovely!

Delicious! I really enjoyed sampling this variety of seafood, including smoked salmon, shrimp, and scallops. A little bit of everything. So good. Excellent service. An enjoyable lunch in a beautiful spot on a wonderful day. Highly recommended.

Sat at one of the tables outside here on a rare warm day and ordered the salmon and scrambled eggs on sourdough bread which was £8. It was really nice and filling, they aren't stingy on the salmon too, they give a good portion size. My dad got the cullen skink which was also nice, it was not too strong which some can be and it came with nice bread. Service was good too and there is a gift shop inside which may be handy for tourists.

Was very disappointed today went to the restaurant last summer and had a wonderful menu and specials board so decided to take a trip up because online menu looked good when we got there they only had a very limited brunch menu all cold food no specials was really not good I'm guessing it must be new management

This little gem comes highly recommended as both food and service were excellent. Shared the mixed seafood plate and a soup both at a reasonable price.

Situé dans le pittoresque village de Luss, à l’arrière d’une jolie boutique de cadeaux dans la rue principale, le Seafood Bar propose une carte de fruits de mer peu étendue mais composée de produits ultra frais. J’ai pris les moules à la crème et au vin blanc (servies sans frites) et je me suis régalée. Pas de fish and chips ni de menu enfants mais de délicieux sandwiches au jambon ou aux rillettes de saumon pour les petites faims. Le cadre et la vaisselle sont soignés. Terrasse chauffée. Service un peu lent mais on est en vacances

It's a Bar, it's in Luss and it offers Seafood.

Visited a quiet Luss today, popped in here for a lovely cup of tea,great service from very friendly & helpful staff...I just wish I was hungry at the time because the menu looked fabulous...

I was in luss in may and this wasn’t open. Tried again on this visit and was happy to see it open. Very cute - chic might be a obetter word. Sunny when we were there. Small but excellent menu; still serving breakfast when we were there in early afternoon although eggs royal might not qualify as just breakfast food in Scotland. Husband had fantastic fish pie (his first, but not last) and I, excellent mussels. (Aside: mussels need crusty bread, I have run onto squishy bread only in UK). Friendly, fresh, and timely staff.

Visited for lunch today. Rainy day so only the tables inside were being used. Despite it being quieter than normal the service from the kitchen was very very slow. Oysters as a wee started were delicious however the Cullen Skink was watery and tasteless. The crab linguine was absolutely scrumptious and husband said the fish pie was ok. Mixed food review! The 2 glasses of house wine that I had (only because we had to wait ages for the main course) were chilled and beautiful and the waitress service was efficient and friendly. I’d be scared to try it again if the tables outside were being used, can’t imagine how long it would take for food to get out of the kitchen. Also be warned they automatically add a gratuity to the bill!!

We popped in for lunch on a Friday. The restaurant was quiet at first but began to fill later. I had a lobster salad, and Madame had cullen skink - both excellent. Service was friendly, attentive and efficient. A very pleasant experience.

Delicioso, surpreendente! Pedi um linguini com Crab..... Maravilhoso, meu marido pediu um Seabass com legumes. Mto bom! Recomendo .

Highly recommended. Food very tasty, great service. Portions could be slightly larger for some of their dishes but I will definitely come back. High quality food and great manu.

popped in one day while in Luss. Had my very first bowl of cullen skink soup, the name had always put me off. It was delicious and very filling, i didn't eat anything else that night. Lovely restaurant and friendly staff

This is a gem. The staff are so friendly and accommodating, and the food and presentation is amazing.

Having stayed in Dunbarton overnight, we stopped in Luss for some breakfast. We both ordered the Eggs Royale. The food was very good, especially the smoked salmon that is used. Afterwards we popped over the road and bought some salmon from the Luss smoke house for later. The staff were polite. I dislike that 10% is automatically added to the bill.

Popped in here one evening as I was in a B&B; nearby and just wanted a quick, light meal. If that's all you're looking for it's ok but I certainly wouldn't recommend it for a full dinner because the portions are small and there's not a huge choice. The menu outside lists a good range of options but when you get to your table there's another menu with much fewer choices. However, I suppose this could be because they depend on what is caught locally that day. But in addition to the menu at the table not being that extensive, as soon as I sat down I was given a list of the things they'd run out of, which narrowed down the choice even more. In the end I settled for Caesars salad with smoked salmon and it was really quite dull. There's also a very limited choice of desserts so if you fancy a blow out dinner it's really not the place. I think it's very accurately named a fish 'bar' rather than restaurant.

Had lunch here the other day. It was a sunny weekend day so the village was very crowded. If you are having trouble finding a space, I suggest you go down the road the SmokeHouse is on (the road before you turn for the Seafood Bar). Just past the Smokehouse there seemed to be parking. At the restaurant, I had the half lobster. It was very tasty but way too small, maybe six or sever small bites. I commented on it and was told that sometimes the lobsters they get are very small. The atmosphere was pleasant, we ate outside and the service was good. The rest of the food was fine.

Posto incantevole, per uno spuntino veloce, ma anche no, c'era chi mangiava ostriche su un letto di ghiaccio....Noi abbiamo mangiato salmone affumicato veramente buono e presentato in maniera impeccabile, speso in due 26 euro, servizio un po' lento e vero ma c'era molta gente e i piatti preparati al momento.

Fabulous seafood on the menu and expectations were high as we visited last year. Lunch service was heaps better than dinner. The menu is limited but good, sadly four items were sold out or not available making the choice too limited.

It was raining so my wife,son, daughter & myself called in luss seafood bar. My wife and i had a cappuccino ( big mistake), my son had a hot chocolate and my daughter had a mocha. We took a seat and waited for ages it stopped raining so we nearly left but we waited... it wasn’t worth the wait. When we got them the cappuccino’s was all froth by the time we got all the froth off there was more coffee in a expresso. One gulp and it was gone. Do yourself a favour and save £3. I’m not one for complaining so we drank up paid and left. I was fuming.

My wife and I recently stopped in Luss (on Loch Lomond) while working our way down from Inverness to Glasgow. It was an off-and-on-again rainy Friday but the village was bustling. While wandering around Luss in the early afternoon, we noticed the Luss Seafood Bar in particular an outdoor table where people were enjoying mounds of mussels (steamed Shetland blue mussels with white wine and garlic cream, according to the posted menu). We decided to come back that evening for dinner. While the restaurant was very active for lunch, there were only three or four tables with patrons that evening. In spite of the lack of diners, service was extremely slow throughout our meal. (It was pleasant though.) We inquired about the mussels but were told that they were out of them. That was unfortunate so we ordered some fresh raw oysters followed by the daily main special (a crab with pasta dish). The oysters arrived without the promised local bread. We had to get our servers attention but eventually got the bread. My wife thought that the oysters were great while I thought that they were okay but weren’t as fresh as advertised. When the pasta finally arrived, it was lukewarm, seemed a little short on the crab meat, and needed more sauce. Maybe we caught them on an off night but we would not return.

We stopped by near the end of service for lunch. Usually not the best of times for good service in most restaurants. The usual hurried cleaning up and staff wanting to go home or take a break was evident. wanting to be seated in the garden on a beautiful sunny day, the waitress that greeted us seemed to not know what to do, hesitantly showed us to a table. Amid the confusion and few too many minutes to order, Caitlin appeared as our angel. She got our in just in time before the kitchen shut down and was just a gem of a waitress. She even moved a very heavy umbrella for us as we were cooking in the sun (yes, this is inb Scotland). Caitlin even came up to the gift shop after we finished and helped there. I hope the management knows what they have in Caitlin. Management material.

Abruptly told that they were having an early close when staff feet away said they were still serving.

Very tiny expensive portions of food. They served our glasses of wine too late after the food. The oysters were not 100% fresh, really disappointing. They charge £7 for a salad that only contains... lettuce, what a joke seriously!

No value for money in this restaurant.

We made an unplanned visit to Luss Seafood Bar when we were snack-ish and in the area. It turned out to be a great choice. We shared a small seafood platter followed by the cullen skink - it was warm and smoky, and in contrast to other reviewers, we found there was a good amount of fish in it. The smoked mussels were amazing. We tracked them down to the smokehouse just around the corner where we purchased a pack to take home. Service at the seafood bar was pleasant but very slow. We had a friendly waiter from New Zealand. There seemed to be a decent ratio of waiting staff to customers, but my impression is that, on the whole, the staff seemed to be rather inexperienced as they were unable to manage timely service even when the restaurant wasn't full. This was a shame as the food and the restaurant fit-out were both excellent. Thankfully we were on holiday so waiting a long time for food to arrive didn't worry us. As other reviewers have noted, there is a great little gift shop to browse in while you are waiting.

Lo mejor las ostras gratinadas. Atención normal, comida normal y un tanto escaso para el precio. Lo peor la lentitud, tardaron 1 hora en ponernos dos platos. Desesperante y pensar que era Junio, imagino qué será en pleno verano.... Los más lentos, con diferencia, de los 16 días de recorrido por Escocia.

The restaurant itself is very nice with a gift shop upstairs that you can visit while waiting for your food. I ordered the tuna and the 2 others in my party had the Cullen Skink. My tuna which cost £9 was; 4 of the tiniest slithers of tuna with 3 small cubes of watermelon and HALF a cherry tomato.That was it!!

Visit yestrrday 2 couples had your famous we all had your famous cullen skink soup

Cullensklnk was the best we have eaten chef came to speak to us on our visits.lemon drizzle cake was really good

Luss is known for seafood, especially salmon and you’ll find all kinds of seafood here. I chose to eat outside (it was a very hot day and stuffy and hot inside) and as the sun moved, I had to, too, which the server didn’t seem to mind.

First evening they’ve ever opened apparently - how lucky were we. Wonderful fresh seafood and seafood dishes. Oysters were excellent. Salmon and mousse brilliant. Sun was shining and the wine recommendation was good also.

My fiancé and i popped into this seafood bar, initially just for a drink however as a huge oyster fan we decided to give them a go.

I ordered a half grilled lobster from the menu. When the food eventually arrived there was a small tail cut in half and served on a slice of bread. I initially thought they had given me another customers order but I was assured it was correct. When I spoke to the waitress and explained that most of the lobster was missing she told me she didn’t eat lobster and didn’t know what it was supposed to look like. Slightly worrying that the staff of a fish restaurant don’t even know what the menu’s supposed to look or taste like. I would also have to agree with some of the other reviews on this site- the service has a lot to be desired. All in all, wouldn’t go back

We had a very pleasant lunch at The Seafood Bar not long after noon on Saturday 30th June.

Le lieu est assez joli et bien situé dans le village de Luss. Nous avons commandé des linguine au crabe et un cullen skink (spécialité locale: une soupe d'églefin à la crème avec des pommes de terre et de l'oignon). C'était bon mais un peu cher pour le contenu de l'assiette (très peu de crabe dans les pâtes, au point qu'on n'en sentait même pas le goût). Service correct sans plus. Pas un resto incontournable, mais ça va.

Hier kan je enkel terecht voor lunch. De 'smokehouse platter' kan ik iedereen aanbevelen. Het is een mix van verschillende bereidingen van zalm uit het nabije Smokehouse.

The menu looked good and the outside and inside dining areas looked nice. Table service staff in need of some serious training; no drinks order when seated, didn't ask or provide water for the table, failed to take food orders by order of arrival i.e. people who arrived after us were served before us. I ordered Cullen Skink but couldnt find any fish in the bowl so I asked a waitress if the fish was pureed and she replied no there should be pieces of fish in the dish. She took the bowl away and brought it back with fish in it. There was a long delay between our starter and main and the main didn't require to be cooked as it was seafood platter. All in a very disappointing experience which is a pity as the menu looked interesting. Staff also struggled to keep on top of the tables and didn't clear them quickly or wipe them down properly. As we were leaving one table was stacked full of glasses etc which had not been taken to the dishwasher. My thoughts were 'Gordon Ramsay would have a field day'.

Told I was going to a seafood shack - its certainly no shack and as we had arrived on push bikes - I felt a bit scruffy. Good service , nice menu items (more oyster bar than fish & chips) and prices to match. We had some sharing platters of seafood which were modest in size but adequate and bottled beers. Perhaps more suited to me arriving with the convertible than the push bike but worth the visit all the same!

Stayed a shells throw from here last week. Went twice, and wasn’t disappointed either time. Mussels, oysters and mackerel all consumed. Service, Location and food all superb Thank you

Following a recommendation from the Guest House owner we made our way up to the picturesque village of Luss with promises of locally sourced smoked fish (smoke house 100m down the road). We shared a smoked fish platter (meant to be a starter) and a Caesar salad; an ideal choice for the remarkably un seasonal weather being experienced. I thought you only had Sunshine on Leith.

Problem with gas being fixed as we arrived so limited hot food. But we wanted the seafood platter anyway. Pricey but well worth it. Recommended. Lovely friendly helpful staff especially Caitlin from New Zealand

It was the last day of our trip around the Scottish Highlands and on our way to the ferry to Belfast we decided to call into the lovely Loch Lomond lake side village of Luss. The village was busy and we were surprised to be able to get into this cafe/restaurant. The restaurant is combined with a nice tourist type shop and it had a very pleasant atmosphere with some outdoor seating. Three of us went for the fish pie which had salmon, peas, capers, pickled onions and with a side of seaweed which I think is called salicornia (or samphire). In any event it was all delicious. We told them the fish pie was amazing and they were delighted since it was the first day on the menu. In any event we would highly recommend it. The staff were all quite young and very helpful and friendly. The only issue we had, and it seemed to be a recurring issue we had with Scottish restaurants as we travelled around, was the length of time it took to get service and prepare the food. In general it wasn’t a huge problem as we were on holidays with friends, however for some it did cause unease and concern.

Ate here on a visit to Luss at the weekend. Had lovely smoked salmon salad and mussels. However the service was poor, the girl waitress was miserable and dismissive. we waited 40 minutes for our food. We then ordered ice cream at £5.50 for 3 scoops, a scoop being no bigger than a table tennis ball. When we commented we were told ( By the dismissive waitress) that it was from the Isle of Skye if that helps!!! That'll account for being over priced then. Shame as could have been a lovely place. The owner obviously does not read the reviews as there have been several comments about poor service. It makes you wonder if they're not really bothered as it is passing tourist trade! Hence - no tip!!

Amazing location. Food is pretty good for the price and for a touristy spot. Everyone must try the salmon they get from the nearby smokehouse! The mussels were good and the sauce it was dressed in was amazing. Oysters were not too bad (I've been spoiled by Aussie oysters). Mel served our table most of the time and was very attentive. Was lovely talking to him too (He speaks Cantonese!) The other waitress lacked initiative, and should be more pro-active.

Booked a table here thinking it would be packed...not so two other couples not what I would describe as a evening meal menu...

Great location, pleasant staff but poor portion size and not good value for money. Seem to have a problem with hot food, overall impression is that all is not quite right. Best avoided.

Stopped here on a beautiful sunny day after a boat trip on the very scenic Loch Lomond. Unfortunately the hot options were unavailable due to a problem with their gas supply. Not too much of an issue on a very warm day. We chose the Cullen Skink which was creamy, delicious with the correct ratio of fish to potatoes. Also had the smoked salmon which was very tasty and the dressed crab which was fresh, zingy and delicious. The prices were slightly high for the portion sizes but it’s right next to Loch Lomond so you expect that. We sat in their delightful outside area and really appreciated that there were no ashtrays on the tables (hate getting smoked out dining al fresco!) The service was lovely and friendly and toilets very clean. Would definitely return.

Called in here for lunch with friends today. A glorious sunny day, so we sat in the courtyard. Staff were pleasant for the most part, but service was slow. Before we ordered, we moved table to one out of the sun, and the waitress showed her disapproval of this on her face. Even the drinks took a while to arrive. It was explained to me that kitchen was small, and if there was a rush of customers, as there was today, service would be slow. ( Not really a reason for the arrival of the drinks being so slow!) However, when the food arrived, it was very nice. The fish pie and mussels were most acceptable, but I was disappointed with my dressed crab, as there was so little meat in it. The plate of fish cakes looked a bit bare, and it could have done with more salad on it. The fish and seafood was all certainly fresh, and I feel that with a bit of fine tuning, this restaurant could be excellent.

Just a quick stop underway in Scotland and we found this small restaurant near a Loch.

We had an absolutely lovely meal in this gorgeous restaurant in Luss. I had the Shetland salmon and my husband had the mussels. Which were a bit pricey but still worthwhile. The service was lacking and took forever to get our drinks which was a disappointment. The staff looked confused and seemed to need some guidance. I hope this gets sorted for our next visit. This could have been a five star visit if it wasn’t for the service.

So maybe it was because the sun was shining, or that it was a bank holiday weekend and having cycled from Lomond Shores we were eagerly anticipating our lunch but they have definitely developed something special here! Staff were immediately friendly and engaged and highlighted specials as well as menu items. We opted for three of the small plates to share, approx £7 each, to give us a good sample. The beetroot and gin trout on locally sourced rye bread was fantastic, similarly the plump crayfish cocktail had a good kick and the crab cakes served on a bed of apple and celery was a great combination. Everything exceptionally fresh, we were able to watch the chef pick herbs from the garden that appeared on our plates moments later and the oysters and langoustinewere were fresh off the boat that morning! Clearly there has been a huge investment creating the right feel, the crockery, outside seating area and garden are beautifully presented and add to the experience but for us they also know what they’re doing with the food. Superb, we will definitely be back.

Nous avons commandé un plateau de fruits de mer initialement pour 3/4 personne... nous avons eu 4 pauvre huître des petits bouts de saumon mais par contre énormément de salade verte et du pain !

Had quick lunch when visiting this lovely small village. The crab cake and mussel are super fresh and tasty, full of flavor at a very reasonable price. The waitress are very friendly and cute. The chef actually is from California. The layout is so soothing and relax. Both my wife and I agreed it is better than the Michelin one star we had last night at Edinburgh.

lovely seating area outside and pleasant staff, We had the smoked salmon which was superb. The drinks are a ridiculous price though a double gin and tonic over £13.00

A very nice restaurant serving a limited but exceptional menu of seafood.

Visited today for special lunch. We both chose the special hot smoked salmon salad. Very mean portion of salmon in salad and the salad was bog standard end of bag salad with a few tomatoes. At £11 it was very poor value and dull. Left hungry and dissapointed and all we got was an apology. Will not visit again.

We stopped by for lunch on our way to Islay and to warm up, ordered soups and seafood risotto. All dishes were great, particularly the cullen skink. Service was lovely and attentive. Thanks for a great meal!

Went for a late lunch and sat on their nice patio, in the sun!!! Had a wild garlic soup, and a seafood chowder, which were both delicious, and very rich! Then we had a salmon tasting platter and crab cakes. Crab cakes was good, so was the salmon platter, but a bit pricey i thought for the amount of salmon. Overall, really good food, and would go back!

Went to celebrate Mums 84th birthday and wished we’d gone elsewhere. The staff were pleasant enough but distracted and inattentive as they were awaiting a golf celebrity and associated entourage. We sat by the door and were blasted with a cold draught every time it opened and closed. No mozzarella to go with the tomato salad. Tiny amounts of butter with bread for smoked salmon, we got more in request.

Nice place to eat,nice people,delicious Cullen Skink soup I will go again with a great pleasure. A place not to be missed.

The three of us dropped into this smart and friendly restaurant at 1.30 on a Tuesday and easily found a table. We all ordered that Scottish favourite Cullen Skink - excellent fish, potatoes and creamy soup. Excellent value at £6 a time. Good atmosphere and good service.

Four of us had lunch- the 2 who had the Cullen Skink were delighted- really tasty with large chunks of well cooked fish and great value.

Lo dicho en el título, no llega a decepcionar pero pese a que es de buena calidad se queda escaso en comparación con los precios altos. Buen trato, buen sitio, buen ambiente, calidad alta.... Pero al salir te apetece un bocata jamón.

To start with I get mussels every chance I get ,so I know good from bad,these are without doubt the best and uniformed size I have tasted,the sauce was a little strange for my tastebuds but it brought out the flavour of the meat very nicely,staff were very pleasant and attentive,I think having the smokehouse outlet next door gives patrons the confidence of having fresh food on the table because they are providing for more outlets than the restaurant ,I defo be back

Great food. Highly recommended. Pan seared salmon and crab risotto were amazing! Friendly staff. Beautiful decor

That's right, couldn't agree more, even in a post-Brexit style. What better to do than have a visit to Luss for a Ne'erday meander. The sights (Ben Lomond), the weather (rain, cold), the drivers (completely ignoring the Do Not Enter signs) and this delightful gift shop / seafood cafe – complete with blankets to take with you, if you so desired to sit outside. What an excellent idea in our balmy clime. Haven't seen this since a visit to Deutschland.

We really enjoyed the food here, having found other places in the area less than interesting in what they provide (large portions catering to Tourists). We shared the platter which included pate, a salad with salmon and hot smoked salmon as well as the crab salad, a lovely much for two. We were envious of other's Fish Pie and thought the non fish selections looked great as well. The setting was also nicer than many others in the area.

Lovely staff but all so slow! We arrived at 1.10 on a Sunday and by 1.50 the cafe was full (about 20 covers) and no one was eating. There were no oysters or mussels, a common complaint, according to the reviews, but most people were only told when they were ready to order.

Dropped in for coffee and cake just after 10 am .only serve tea coffee and cake Mondays and Tuesdays. Sat out side under cover as we had our small dog with us. Bit cold but blankets are supplied. Very clean out side and in staff member who served us was very nice.bit pricey at £24 for 2 tea's two coffees 2 brownies and two millionaire shortbread. This was the only two cakes available.

Carte ridiculement petite. De plus, il n y a qu'un seul plat adapté aux personnes allergiques aux fruits de mer (Pour une personne allergique,il est injuste de priver les autres de fruits de mer ...). Même pas un burger ou un steak frites quelconque. Pas de menu enfants ni de plat adapté aux enfants. Bref, a faire uniquement pour les personnes qui aiment poissons et fruits de mer (ET qui n ont pas besoin d un choix énorme pour être satisfaits ). On peut noter que bien que les prix soient relativement corrects, les portions sont pas très généreuses (surtout le brunch).

I must admit, I've been looking forward to visiting the Luss Seafood bar for a while. Unfortunately, I've been left distinctly underwhelmed.

Lovely shop and restaurant with helpful friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Absolutely wonderful lunch out on the patio area this summer on a sunny afternoon. Such a shame that it isn't open evenings, it would make a killing!

We stopped in Luss overnight on the way up north...this restaurant was just around the corner from our B&B.; It was great to be able to sit outside in the evening, under the canopy.
