ONE UP RESTAURANT in Highland

Good menu, good prices, lovely staff. What more do you need. Well worth a visit and worth booking just in case. Family owned and they also own local farm butcher

With so many places shut during COVID and autumn we found this restaurant for lunch. It was great delicious food served by lovely waitress. Reasonably priced and a roaring log burner . Well worth a visit

I'd strongly advice anyone who is thinking about going don't. It was the worst meal I've ever had and we were not the only ones who thought this. The food was disgusting and the manager/chef wouldn't even come and speak with us. We walked out in the end as did two other tables

Al primo piano di un tipico edificio proprio al centro di Dornoch questo pub-ristorante offre i soliti e tipici piatti della cucina scozzese ed una discreta scelta di birre. Servizio risultato un po' distratto.

me and the wife had chicken burger and chips. the chicken was nicely cooked nice seasoned, but a little bit dry. chips nice and thick but not homemade. Overall satisfactory, went in on a friday and was served by a well dressed, well mannered boy who smiled and took our drinks qucikly and came and checked if everything was good. great service

Revised Dornoch inn as this is part of it -definitely recommend as a place to eat - good choice of menu

spent two evenings in the bar and had a meal on both occasionsd.The lady in charge of the bar is first class and cannot do enough for you.

Lovely traditional restaurant with the friendly efficient service we've experienced everywhere we've been in the Highlands. Great food freshly cooked to order. Worth a visit and highly recommended.

Staff were both excellent and the food could not be faulted except to say there is to much! Should have a note to say not to have starter if you want to finish main course. If you want a desert definitely skip as starter (and the deserts looked yummy!). Also price is really good

During our stay in Dornoch, we visited the One up twice. The One up offers typical pub food of good quality and has a very accurate and friendly staff. One feels really welcome here! The curry is quite good and also the Haddock is tasty. For dessert, the sticky toffee pudding is very much recommended as it was of the better toffee puddings we experienced in this vacation.

reasonable priced restaurant in town, ideal for bigger groups, wide range of menue selection, good for families as well.

lovely food great staff well worth a visit good sizes plates very full when left easy to get to from square

First of all, the staff were lovely, the barman downstairs was very helpful and the waitress upstairs couldn't be faulted . . unfortunately the food could. The family shared nachos for starters - fairly stale tortilla chips covered in cheese and sweet chilli sauce (?). One member of our party had the chicken and rice soup and he enjoyed that. Main course - hot chilli salmon . . . . a (nicely cooked) piece of salmon, but smothered in the same sweet chilli sauce and served on over-cooked pasta. The fish and chips were poor, the fish was a bit watery and tasteless, one diner had the chicken curry which had obviously been sitting out and heated up in the microwave. The kids menu - the pizza was doughey and I suspect recently defrosted, smothered in cheese then microwaved. All the kids meals were listed as served with beans . . but they had run out ?? Really? on a Saturday night at 6.30 I think I would have sent someone round to the co-op to buy a tin or two. A shame really, Dornoch is a lovely wee town and deserves a bit more effort.

We had a quick lunch here on Saturday, we were served promptly, and efficiently by a friendly girl. the portions were generous, if not bordering on too much, but not for my other half who enjoyed the food so much he polished off half of mine! food was well presented, very very good chips!!! Decor was quirky and liked all the exposed beams. (faux beams? not sure - either way lovely). We asked the girl who served us for some local bits to do and she was really helpful and pleasant. would definitely go back. Thanks!

Pleasant meal with family for a pit stop before returning to our accommodation. Slightly old fashioned inside compared to city restaurants etc but had a nice atmosphere. Reasonably priced for nice decent sized portions! Will visit again as granny liked here!

Great friendly service,Great Food. Very Pleasant and Comfortable surroundings. Very relaxed atmosphere, but Staff always alert and on hand to serve

Hearty pub food. Good value, nice atmosphere. Great service - friendly and quick. Would go back if in the area.

We ate here twice during our visit to Dornoch. The first time I had a toasted cheese and ham sandwich which was very good. The second time I had a B-L-T, which was excellent.My Dad had soup the first day and a toastie the second day, just plain cheese.Very reasonable pricing, very good value. The service was excellent both times.The restaurant is upstairs, and you get a nice view from the top floor of downtown Dornoch. They also have free parking, with a large lot to the side of the place.It is in a very convenient location. Just a short block from the center of town, and close to the Dornoch jail, and Castle Hotel.

This little eatery is off the square and could be overlooked easily. Please don't miss it.. The food is fantastic, great selection and reasonably priced. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. Portions are generous. Don't miss it.

stopped here while on holiday,the service was really good and the food matched it,although the restaurant is upstairs you can eat in the lounge bar.[prices are fair]

nipped in for lunch....place was nearly empty and the lady serving was miserable and hardly spoke! I felt the food was overpriced for what I had and the tomato soup was the most awful soup ive eaten! Maybe this was just a bad day as most locals like this place?? I dont think I'd go back.

Friendly staff, great choice of pub grub and an absolutely fab u lous turkish delight cheesecake. Good portion size with value for money

Great place to have a family meal as it catered for all our tastes. It had just opened for the season so it was quiet but lovely all the same. Would recommend.

Good place for a quick bite. Had soup and toastie. Cant go wrong with that. One of the cheaper eateries in Dornoch. No pretences , and no frills .

My wife and I stopped off here for lunch while on holiday. What a mistake that turned out to be. We had to sit downstairs in the bar as there was no disabled access to the restaurant upstairs. My wife ordered, what was described as, homemade spicy chicken curry and I had the steak and ale pie. Firstly, my wife described her curry as a tin of tomatoes with tomato puree and some overcooked 2 day old chicken. The rice was microwaved and the chips were frozen and half cooked. To top it all off, everything was lukewarm. I fared ever so slightly better. The steak pie was actually a steak pie, although it would have been more appropriate to use a jack hammer than a knife and fork to cut the beef. So, if you ever happen to be driving through Dornoch and fancy a bit of lunch, be sure to avoid this place as their chef is useless.

If you want a home cooked meal at a reasonable price this is the perfect place.If you are looking for art decor and a la carte try somewhere else.Food beautiful, Staff Polite and Friendly but Restaurant could do with a refurb.

Passed through Dornoch and thought I would like to eat here some time - was back this way with my fiancé and I suggested we go in for lunch - like a step back to the 70's, décor, carpet, curtains, it smelt like an old folks home, complete with dead flies in the windowsills - should have just had our drinks and left but gave it a chance. Was really not impressed with the food, I only had a jacket potato with curry which arrived with a limp small side salad and it was all put on what looked like a side plate?? My fiancé had the cheeseburger which looked like the cheapest frozen burger money could buy! Listened to the waitress say to table beside that they only ever get bad reviews on trip advisor Ha maybe she should read them and try and improve what could be a wee gold mine.

Ok so this review is based on the standard of fried food we had. So as far as that goes it was good. Fish in batter was excellent, although chips just standard frozen kind. Scampi was also fine and portions were pretty good. All in all not a very exciting menu and we did order in the pub as oppose to the restaurant upstairs. The service was ok but not overly friendly. We were not able to use a card and no explaination given as to why not.. Just as well we did have cash on us but would have been nice to be told this before we ordered.

Reasonable for the value, not very friendly toward children, pizza is mcain frozen type not very nice, doesn't seem to be geared towards travellers more like a local pub for the regulars

Had a meal in here last night with 2 friends... Was a bit dubious at first as i recalled the Dornoch inn as not the most salubrious of establishments but I was very pleasantly surprised,the food was lovely,superb sized portion not overly fancified stuff that leaves you still hungry in search of local chippy later but really good down to earth food,well presented,piping hot I had the haggis which I highly recommend.waiter was attentive and friendly and the lovely sound of the Dornoch pipe playing in the square made it a very enjoyable evening ..good food..good prices ..definitely ONE UP from others I've been to.

I'm local to Tain and had family to stay...so my family were staying at the caravan park so we decided to eat around Dornoch found a few really good places to eat but this was not one of them.Very average food fish and chips the fishsmelt very strong usually an indication of old fish! The place needs a good deep clean and referb The biggest put off is your kitchen staff smoking outside put me right off my food. Will never return I'm afraid.

Had a few meals here while staying at Grannies Helian Hame. The food was home cooked and lots of it. The staff were friendly but the waitress was rushed of her feet. Could do with more staff.

Food was average. If you are in a hurry this is not the place to stop. Waitress was going back and forth between restaurant upstairs and the pub downstairs. Obviously, they were understaffed. Prices were acceptable and portions were more than adequate.

Very friendly place we ate there for lunch three times. Good sized portions and the staff were great. Would recommend this place it also has a lounge bar downstairs.

Visited Dornoch between 29th April 2013 and 3rd May 2013, was looking forward to our meals in the Dornoch One Up Restaurant but the place was closed; this was 6 o'clockish. We could have eaten in the Dornoch Inn on the ground floor as they share the same Kitchen but didn't want to eat with a customer's 'Staffie'.Shame, so we found somewhere else to eat.We did notice that that Restaurant was open one lunch time, obviosly for the coach parties that turned up.

Not much atmosphere, the music in the bar was being played so loud we could barely think. Very basic menu, although it is quite reasonably priced. Dont expect any thrills, no salad dressing a few chips. Food wasn't terrible just basic, but you get what you pay for I guess. Service almost non-existent. Ask to eat upstairs, not in the bar.

food typical pub fare. nothing exciting a little overpriced for quality given place looks like its in need of a clean with musty smell.

Called in here a couple of lunch times. Reasonable prices and food good. Clean facilities and friendly staff.

Basically as the title says, the staff are friendly (don't change the chef!), plentiful food and not over priced. We dined there 2 evenings last week, macaroni cheese, haggis one night, thought there wasn't as much haggis as a couple of years ago BUT still more on the plate than most restaurants; both had haddock and chips the second evening, didn't know you could get battered whale! A large piece of fresh haddock, not a frozen fillet, in the chefs own batter. Ask to try the carrot and coconut soup if it is on the menu, lovely, my partner liked it so much she asked for the recipe!We always eat early evening when the restaurant is empty or nearly empty, but the service hasn't faltered even when we were in there when a golf party were eating.

Lovely place to eat and good prices.Have a good selection of food on the menu and has a nice view of the square as the restaraunt is upstairs.

We ate here on a Saturday evening, and on Saturdays the bagpipes are played in the square, so we ate our haggis in very authentic surroundings. Don't expect haute cuisine, but we were very happy with our meal and enjoyed the lively atmosphere and friendly service. The owners also run the nearby Woodlands B&B and give a discount for guests who eat at the One Up (which is the first floor of the Dornoch Inn). The B&B is excellent value, spotlessly clean and very quiet and comfortable. The breakfast is nothing out of the ordinary but a very acceptable start to the day and we were very content.

Basic and overpriced and a bit like canteen food . Baked potato tuna and a tiny bowl cauliflower soup, 3 mushrooms and garlic sauce and gammon steak chips. Pint of lager and small glass of wine £30
