Solas Restaurant in Eilean Siar

This is the restaurant of a 4-star hotel in Stornoway. It has a distinct, modern and elegant feeling (although a bit “cold”). Its menu combines traditional and modern dishes. Service is good but a little slow. For starter, we tried the spare ribs with coleslaw salad, which was just good. For main my wife ordered the “braised feather blade of beef" which was really a very interesting taste and I tried the "Seared salmon Caesar salad" a rich and healthy dish which contained anchovies (unfortunately, a LOT of them) which I don't like (I didn't notice it in the dish description). Prices were not cheap, but were comparable with other restaurants' in (expensive) Stornoway.

Si arriva nel tardo pomeriggio, si cerca un posto per andare a cena, cosa piuttosto complicata in un paesino così piccolo come stornoway. Dopo qualche chiamata troviamo posto in questo ristorante, sito presso un alberghetto 3 stelle. Arriviamo e non c'era molta gente, ci accomodiamo. Tavolo non troppo pulito e apparecchiato senza tovaglia, tipico in Inghilterra. Pesce e patate, zuppe e scampi. Arriva tutto abbastanza velocemente. Zuppe buone ma che non si ricordano, pesce e patate sotto la media e, unica eccezione, scampi buoni, gradevoli. Se non si trova altro, cosa peraltro frequente, va bene ma certamente non è da prima scelta. Per il momento è tutto. Ciccio

Probably the best of the three linked restaurants in Stornoway and certainly the poshest. The food is delicious, we had steaks as mains, and the staff are good without being over attentive. It some how lacks an atmosphere that the other two have; but if you are all loved up and just want a table for the two of you to look in to each others eyes this is probably the best of them for that. There was a carmenere on the wine list which was a pleasure to find and drink. Relax and take your time over the guid food and excellent wine.

Lovely presentation. Great steaks. Delicious cocktails. Everything we were looking for a night out. Staff were great.

Been coming twice a year for over a decade. Next time I'll be looking for somewhere new. No more complimentary bread and butter, and more importantly if buying the £12 mussels in white wine sauce you don't even get a peice of toasted bread, loved drinking my white wine sauce from the bowl like the milk leftovers from my cornflakes...Stay Classy :D

I’m afraid this was one of the worst meals we’ve had in a long time and probably the worst tapas we’ve ever had. The staff were lovely and the restaurant vibe is nice. But the food was pretty much inedible. We would not recommend it to anyone.

Was expecting far more choice of seafood on the menu so was disappointed. A formulaic menu for package holiday guests. The mussels were fantastic cooked with white wine and cream.

We came for a long lazy lunch before the 1500 ferry. Both a very generous portioned children’s menu and small plates/starters and mains for the adults. All meals were lovely. Fresh local scallops, 2 pieces of haddock with the adult fish and chips for £17. For a family of 5 we ate incredibly well and also thought it good value. A sirloin steak was perfectly cooked and the children enjoyed Mac n’cheese and sausages. If you come here you won’t be disappointed.

What a great place! The service was impeccable and the food was great. We were very pleasantly surprised as we booked last minute and there was plenty of availability - always a worry! We shouldn’t have worried as it exceeded our expectations. The staff were attentive and friendly, the food was excellent and the atmosphere was nice too. Highly recommended and I will return next time I am on this beautiful island!

What can I say.... the best food and service in Stornoway. The chefs' here know their trade! The pork belly, polenta chips, featherblade beef, curry, honey roasted veg and onion rings were all cooked to perfection and presented very stylish! Good portion sizes too and all reasonably priced. If you want to make any improvement try pickling your onions for your onion rings they make them 100% more tastier. Sticky toffee pudding and burnt honey cheesecake were very tasty and beautifully presented. I particularly liked the chef being creative with his puff pastry liquid on the base of the cheesecake this was unique and quirky. Service was great and the restaurant is warm, cosy and stylish! This place serves better value and more superior quality than The Royal. Worth the 5 minute journey out of the town centre.

Très bon restaurant avec des plats raffinés et élaborés. Les portions sont plutôt petites de type gastronomique mais comme nous ne sommes pas de gros mangeurs nous étions contents de la taille des mets servis. Le service était très bien. Nous recommandons avec plaisir cet établissement!

Wir haben hier im Hotel übernachtet und im Restaurant Abendessen eingenommen. Wir waren sehr zufrieden, denn die Speisen und Getränke haben uns sehr geschmeckt. Preislich über den Durchschnitt, aber der Qualität entsprechend. Dazu kommt ein freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, um sich absolut wohlzufühlen.

Had dinner here whilst visiting the Hebrides. The food was very good, although the portions were not huge. The staff were excellent, very welcoming and attentive without being over the top. Not cheap, but reasonable value.

I have been to this restaurant before on visits to the Island and the food has always been good. On this occasion at lunchtime it was excellent. It was the best fish and chips I have ever tasted, Batter was light, fish tasty and the chips crispy and melted in your mouth. The mint ice cream I had for dessert had a distinctive true mint flavour unlike shop bought ice cream. The coffee was a good blend and came with a lovely butter shortbread. The surroundings were pleasant and service was good. We tried to return later in the week in the evening but they were fully booked and I can see why.

Initially planning a takeaway but decided against the washing up so dropped into the restaurant here and was glad we did The fairy-lit dining area is very cosy, the food is very good & the staff are great. Would recommend

Booked in last minute after deciding we needed a night off camping food and we were not disappointed. I had the beef shin which was delicious, as was my partners pork bell and friends catch of the day. We all opted for the sticky toffee pudding which was AMAZING! Aaron our lovely waiter was friendly and efficient.

Recently visited for dinner during a week in Stornoway. Really glad we did as food was lovely. I had the beef which was so tender. Had starters and deserts and a bottle of wine. All very enjoyable. Staying in the town so taxi up and back to holiday accommodation. The staff were lovely, and so pleasant so glad we went and will do so again when next in Sy.

Recently had a meal at the restaurant as we visited the island with family. We had the scallops and also langoustines as part of the courses with black pudding and the cider haddock as the other courses. All were cooked beautifully especially the scallops that were sensational. We went to another restaurant the previous evening (Eleven) and Solas was a class above. Highly recommended

Ate in the restaurant yesterday evening (saturday) & was very concerned & disappointed with the whole experience. Food Safety - my wife is coeliac, there was no denotion on the menu of any of the allergenic status of any of the dishes. When we asked the young waiter which were gluten free, he looked terrified & went back to the kitchen to find out. Upon his return, one of the options he gave was the Black Pudding but only to find that when the order was placed the waiter returned saying he got it wrong so she had to reorder. something else. This clearly demonstrates poor training & a lack of allergen awareness of the staff - this is dangerous given there were allergens on the menu that could cause anaphylaxis e.g. Hazelnuts Quality - I ordered a sirloin steak which clearly had not been trimmed correctly as there was a large piece of gristle in the centre of it - this was left on the side of the plate, the waiter never commented on it or looked to redress it. It came with a very small portion of Peppercorn sauce, this wasn’t even enough to cover the surface of the steak, it was glutenous & had no visible Peppercorns in it ! This would appear to be a prepared sauce that is probably warmed up in a sachet prior to serving. Value for Money - I ordered the scallops for a starter, it arrived with just two scallops, some thin sliced apple, a pickled vegetable & a non-descript black sauce that had split. Given the location of Stornaway on two islands to be charged £14 for two paltry scallops is complete & utter profiteering - the whole dish could have easily been placed on a saucer. Service - I order a glass of red wine when we initially sat down, my wife’s drink arrived arrived on its own, having then prompted the waiter it took a further 10 minutes to arrive even though we were sat less than 20 feet from the bar. In the middle of my main course I ordered a second glass which arrived 25 minutes later, at that point I had then finished my meal - what was made even worse was that it clearly sat on the bar for over 10 minutes before finally being picked up. An excuse of it being maniac doesn’t really wash as there were five servers plus three staff behind the bar in a restaurant which appears to have less than 100 covers due to Covid distancing Summary, frankly the restaurant is a car crash, there are real concerns over the Food Safety & the training of the staff. The food is mediocre at best, poor value & the service is woeful. There is clearly a disconnect between the kitchen, bar & serving staff. With this sort of review I would expect a direct & prompt reply from the restaurant regarding what they are going to do but given the level of experience last night I’m not holding my breath !

The food here was astounding. They were also incredibly attentive to dietary requirements. Absolutely beautiful food and fantastic service - would highly recommend!

Went to Solas for our Christmas dinner, we were really looking forward to it but have to say we were disappointed. The service was good and the staff were lovely but the portions were tiny! Despite dinner costing over £90 for two of us we went home hungry. We won’t be in a hurry to go back - which is a shame as our previous experiences of Solas had been good.

Had a meal here last Saturday for mums birthday, excellent meal and staff were friendly and very helpful.

Everything about Solas was a joy on a wet and windy night. The food and service were both excellent, the price very fair so we couldn't understand why it hadn't more customers!

Had 2 meals whilst I stayed there I can recommend the venison and burger. Was disappointed that the monk scampi was not available on both nights. A colleague had the mussels which were plentiful and delightful.

Had an evening meal here on a Saturday night. The food was delicious and the service was great. Will definitely return when we visit again next year. It was the best meal of our holiday in the Hebrides.

Food was perfect only wish the restaurant would keep the 3 course set menu that the local islanders can afford

Have visited several times before and always had a four/five star experience, but today it was rather hit and miss. On the plus side the interior and decor is a good as ever: modern, comfortable and with a nice conservatory to sit in light conditions. Drinks and the first two courses were served promptly and the staff were friendly. The manager was kind and attentive. The meat dishes, potatoes and vegetables tasted good. The beef portion was very generous and the chicken supreme, pork spring rolls and pork belly were well seasoned and well cooked.However, there were several minor problems that together built up to just an average experience overall today. The main failings were significant problems with the food: one of our portions of mussels was not properly cooked, making the dish partly inedible, the pork belly had far too much fat on it so part of it couldn’t be eaten and the chicken supreme portion was very small. We mentioned the problem with the mussels to our server and asked to return the dish and if we could have the dish comped, which he appeared to agree to. However, when we came to pay it was still on the bill, so we asked again and it was removed. This didn’t do much for our confidence.We also ordered an banoffee sundae desert which took a long time to be served - they only had two servers which didn’t seem to be enough, despite the fact that the restaurant was only partly full. When we got it, it had partially melted (perhaps from staying in the kitchen for too long?) so it was half soup. This and the fact it had too much sugar in it made it rather unpalatable. In addition when we sat down two of the drinking glasses were cracked or dirty.I understand we can’t always be lucky and no restaurant has a perfect day of business, but there were too many problems today to make the experience four or five star, and these detracted from the good points above. I’ve loved coming to the restaurant over the years, so hope that this is just a bump in the road.

Me and my family visited Cabarfeidh Hotel recently. We were served by very friendly staff. We were welcomed with an inviting atmosphere and warm smiles. We were given our food promptly and served by a lovely young man named Ben. The food was delightful and the staff were more than happy to accommodate our needs.

We had a fabulous 2 course dinner this evening of Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato soup starter and for the main course locally sourced Mussels in a white wine sauce. Bear in mind we live in Devon and regularly have River Exe mussels which are superb however those we had tonight were equally as good. All in all a great valued meal served by Jack who was an absolute star very friendly but always very professional.

Recently had a family meal and the food was lovely, a decent serving so after 2 courses felt full but not overly stuffed. The scallops were the best I've had in a while. The smoked ham lentil soup was very tasty and the salmon main was delish. The young man Jack who served us was very friendly, pollite and accommodating. Our son has a dairy intolerance and anything we asked to be swapped or added was absolutely no problem at all. Will definitely be back when we visit again next year. Highly recommend for a special occasion or just a wee treat.Thanks

My wife and I had lunch here today and the service provided by Naomi was superb. The food we had was fantastic and we had a good chat with the outstanding Chef. Would recommend this restaurant to everyone.

We recently stayed in the Hotel and had breakfast every morning in the Solas and ate 2 nights in the restaurant. The food was amazing so - hats off to the chef !!!!!. Great choice and high standard of cuisine every single time. We also attended a wedding in the hotel and food was outstanding. Staff cannot do enough for you and so friendly and informative. Well done all round.

Les plats sont raffinés et copieux avec des spécialités écossaises. Le service est parfait. Très bonne adresse

Went on a Sunday which was probably our biggest mistake as it was clearly the regular chef’s day off!! Very poor quantity & quality with 5 attempts to get us edible starter. First were cold then haggis was rock solid....

Veniamo indirizzati in questo posto essendo l’unico aperto la domenica sera a febbraio. Su consiglio della titolare del Boatshed (posto favoloso).

We went to the restaurant before Christmas for a works night out. It was a buffet and we went up table by table, the food was lovely and hot. The turkey and black pudding bahjis were amazing. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We visited this restuarant twice,once for lunch and again days later for afternoon tea.Soup was wonderful and sandwiches well presented put off by empty dining area but it was the middle of the week,they were very accommodating when we asked to sit near reception and excellent with one of our guests who has mild dementia.Afternoon tea was sublime,the young gentleman serving us ladies could not have done more,kind,courteous,caring and the cakes,oh dear not irresitable,wonderful service.We had two disabled guests and the care shown was wonderful,this is the place to go and price for afternoon tea was very,very reasonable.

Loved this restaurant! The staff was so eager to care for our group of 13 and did it with grace and skill. The food was excellent. There's a small but complete bar for tasting Scotch whisky or whatever suits your taste. One server even took extra time to offer some Scotch tasting education. Loved the lobby fire and abundant cozy chairs for after dinner sipping. The breakfast that comes with your lodging includes a buffet of cold fruits, yogurt and cereals plus a menu of several warm items that are cooked to order and served to your table.

Excellent food..Service as usual very good House wines..3 choices excellent Busy and great atmostphere Fire on in foyer today A real treat

Ducked into the Cabarfeidh on a rainy day in Stornoway for a delightful lunch. Enjoyed a chicken burger, which was really a couple of chicken breasts on a bun. Well prepared and presented and very tasty. Was quite pleasant sitting in the solarium eating, sipping beer and watching the rain fall.

Had an very enjoyable meal at Solas, Excellent food and service. Was Sunday evening and the place was very quiet so lacked atmosphere. Definitely recommended though.

We enjoyed breakfast and dinner in this attractive restaurant. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful.

We arrived in Stornoway on a wet Sunday evening with no dinner reservation. On the recommendation of our hosts we tried the Royal Hotel but they were fully booked however the friendly staff there called Solas to see if they could accommodate us and they could. We only had a main course - a roast beef dinner and a vegetarian curry - both were fresh, plentiful, and very tasty. Harris gin and tonic to begin with, a nice bottle of wine, and excellent service from Aaron (who was too young to drink himself but was an excellent waiter!) and all in all it was a great way to start our holiday!

Have been dine in the restaurant couple time in the past, last Saturday after 7pm they had bit busy night so we returned again for 8.15pm booked, young waiter who’s still in school was looking after us were friendly and polite with very good manner I’m surprise he’s did well as professional at his ages, credit to his close family trained him well.

My wife and I dined here in advance of a wedding we were attending the following day. Lovely relaxed atmosphere. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, young Aaron was our main server and did a grand job. Food in my case steak was cooked as I requested with some very interesting flavours in the meal. My wife had the chicken which she also enjoyed. All in all a rather nice meal !

We've eaten here several times and always found it a happy experience. Not so our last visit. After a 25 minute wait for our starter - smoked salmon, so no cooking required - I asked a surly waitress to check what was going on. She came back, briefly apologised and said they wouldn't charge us for the starter - which appeared 5 mins later. After that some fish and chips: most of the chips were so overdone they weren't edible. A friendly waiter did apologise and seemed genuinely concerned, but not a happy evening.

We stayed in the hotel. The food hear was excellent (so much so on our second bite despite eating elsewhere we returned here for dessert!!) the hotel itself is dated, the restaurant is not. I may not stay in the hotel again but I’d definitely take a trip to the restaurant. My husband said it was the best lamb he ever ate.

L'endroit est grand et ouvert même le dimanche ce qui, sur l'île, n'est pas une évidence. Un peu excentré, c'est une très bonne adresse à Stornoway avec des plats originaux et goûteux, s'appuyant sur les recettes traditionnelles en les dépoussiérant, comme on dit. Nous avons payé 57 livres pour deux menus de deux plats, une bière et deux verres de vin rouge. Pas excessif pour le coin.

The food was VERY imagininative! Delicious,service excellent, staff went out of their way. Offered to write down one of the recipes!

Lovely meal and great service. Highly recommended. Busy Saturday evening but they managed to fit us in. 5 stars

Meal was lovely. i had macaroni with black pudding for starter and it was an amazing combination. i then had the chicken with tarragon but asked for chips instead of the Gnocci. The chicken arrived looking rather lonely as the chips were separate and no veg but when i asked for the veg it arrived almost immediately. Good sized portions and generally well presented. Staff very attentive, helpful and polite. Menu was very varied but very convoluted with very complicated descriptions. Atmosphere was lovely and decor very nice. Varied choices made in our party of 5 adults and 2 children with varying opinions of their choices. Generally good though as i suppose you cant please everyone all the time and although the diners make the choices we are not always certain if it will hit the spot. There was certainly nothing negative to report. we sat in the conservatory area which was light and bright.

Solas Restaurant is located within the Caberfeidh Hotel in Stornoway and we had booked a dinner here to celebrate my mother’s 90th birthday - the hotel did us proud with balloons and decorations at the table which embarrassed my mum but delighted the rest of us! Their homemade tomato soup was delicious – I had the pearl barley asparagus and parmesan risotto which was lovely and their raspberry eton mess was yummy. My mother enjoyed the chicken supreme and my sister loved the Salmon main course. Special mention to Aaron, our waiter, who was attentive and saw to our every need.

Have visited the Solas restaurant in the Caberfeidh Hotel many times now over the years, with our most recent meal being for myself and my husband a couple of weeks ago.

...non tanto per i piatti, qualcuno buono e altri molto meno, ma per il servizio pessimo, attese eterne per ricevere i piatti e ancora di più per la bottiglia d’acqua che infatti abbiamo rinunciato ad aspettare alzandoci e chiedendo il conto al bancone...gestione da rivedere...

Very extensive menu. I had the boudin of blackpudding and the chorizo cream mussels and my partner asparagus risotto and everything was great. The staff were friendly and capable. The price was fine. The only thing I did not like was the decor but I guess that is not a thing that is considered to be important around here. Going back tonight for the food though!

Nice clean and comfortable restaurant for evening dinner. Well presented food with good choice. Breakfast was only average, didn't restock promptly, a little mean with amount of toast on tables. Need to monitor buffet regularly and replenish when required.

I love Scotland and had lots of great dining experiences in Scotland, but this one stands out among the best. I didn’t expect to find, in a small place like Stornoway, on the Outer Hebrides, to find such an excellent restaurant in the same hotel we were staying in. The kitchen was obviously managed by a chef who takes pride in presenting great food, with great attention to detail, and little extra touches. Highly recommended.

We zijn nu een week op de Outer Hebrides en hebben inmiddels een beeld van wat er verwachten is. Bij Solas is er een ruime keuze en de kwaliteit van het gebodene is uitstekend. Het restaurant hoort bij een hotel aan de rand van Stornoway. Wij werden er als 'non residents' hartelijk ontvangen. We waren er eind juni en hadden niet gereserveerd maar dat was geen probleem.

We wanted to have a special meal to celebrate 40 years together and we found it at The Solas. The staff were welcoming and helpful, the setting and atmosphere pleasant. The food was beautifully presented and of a high standard. Good value, too.

Food was perfect, service was perfect, staff bent over backwards to accommodate us, and was such a lovely evening

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit as part of an extended weekend in Lewis. Lovely hotel, restaurant had a good choice of menu, well presented by friendly staff. If you are staying in Stornoway or the surrounding area then I would thoroughly recommend.

My friend and I were staying in a self catering house in Stornoway and decided to go out for our final meal, to this hotel in walking distance of our accommodation.

Food was great, super professional staff, very attentive and friendly, Maitre D' very welcoming, made you laugh

Our meal was delicious and service was quick and efficient! lovely, friendly staff were always happy to help :)

The staff cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. I would definetely stay there again. Very organised hotel, we were very impressed.

Ate here twice. The food was very good quality and good presentation.The home made ice cream was delicious. Staff all very good.

We had a lovely three course meal. Food was excellent as was the service, very helpful and polite. Good value. We do go quite often and never have we had anything to complain about.

Needed a decent feed after a day out. Popped in here and was totally treated. The beef I craved was delicious.

Cosmopolitans are first class!!! Fabulous scallops in a Thai broth and amazing venison from Ardgay! Superb service from everyone, especially Claire and Dara. Thank you for a lovely evening. Chris, Melanie and Ian 😀

We enjoyed a fantastic evening meal on a snowy Sunday evening. It was well presented and was very tasty.

I stayed in this hotel but whilst eating in the restaurant and drinking in the bar the staff were very attentive, especially the manager and the food I had was delicious and very reasonably priced 2/3 course special price.

First time at Cabar feidh hotel. But been to Lewis many times. The Solas restaurant is fantastic ! Wide variety for breakfast lunch and dinner. Food is of the highest standard , very good quality and the service is excellent. Highly recommend this place .

I have to say having being to this restaurant many times. Tonight they have gone the extra mile. I mentioned...

We had another excellent meal in the lovely surroundings. They seem to have got over the conservatory being sometimes chilly....

Was there with my wife for dinner this weekend. Food, and service was faultless. We enjoyed smoked salmon starters, duck...

First year having our Rugby Ball and we could not fault the place. Service from start to end of the...

My husband and I went to the Solas for dinner and it’s safe to say it was the tastiest meal...

Enjoyed the best steak meal I’ve had in a long time. Service top drawer and food absolutely beautiful.

Exactly what we needed after a 15 hour journey! Very friendly and efficient staff, delicious food and very reasonably priced!...

Went there for dinner with my partner and had an great experience. The food was really good, for starters I had crab with corn and fish risotto for main course. Staff were very friendly

as usual great food and service Lewis and staff on hand to help and give great service and banter will always recommend Solas restaurant to anyone looking for a good lunch or dinner in Stornoway

We booked the Solas restaurant from a recommendation from tourist information as one of the top 3 restaurants in Stornoway. Well food was lovely when it finally came but very disappointed with the reception we received From Lewis the head waiter. We were late, we got lost and we phoned twice to keep the restaurant informed. It didn't seem a problem and when we arrived the restaurant was only half full yet we were kept waiting for 45 minutes in the bar as this was what was instructed by Lewis to the staff. We had to get our own drinks as no one served us and when finally called to our table we waited another 20 mins or so before our meal arrived. The bill was £76.00 for wine and the main course. A special price but not a special evening. Thanks to Lewis this was a terrible evening. We will never go back.

Seven of us had a birthday meal here on the 11/8/17 and it was fantastic. We had the set three course meal at £27 each and it was well worth it, the corn fritter starter has heaven and all of the amazing desserts were like works of art. The staff were attentive and looked genuinely happy in their work and were extremely polite. A wonderful celebratory meal!

Booked here at short notice and found it very busy but the greeting was very warm and friendly.Waiting staff were flat out and I suspect under-staffed but the service was still very good even being reliant on an overrun kitchen.I found the food most delicious and it was hard to make a choice from the superbly varied menu. In the end I had the duck but added scallops to it and it was divine. The ambience is relaxed and although not an intimate atmosphere was just fine, after all, you are here for the food and the bill was modest considering the quality of the food.Return factor 10/10

El ambiente es muy informal, por lo que es perfecto si estás buscando tener un ambiente relajado, gran abundante comida con amigos y familia. El carvery es lo mejor de este restaurante. Los precios para los diferentes Cursos es muy razonable y siempre hay algo que me gusta. El único inconveniente del asador es el postres. Siempre tienen una amplia variedad de tortas y variedad falta de otros postres. Los gustos de pudin y pastel de chocolate siempre ejecute rápidamente, así que quizás la cantidad de tales como. El menú fijo es buena, aunque las comidas no están normalmente bien presentada. Nunca decepcionado con la calidad de la comida y soy un cliente regular. He asistido a varias noches temáticas, donde el asado es una variedad de comida de un país fijo. Una idea y son muy populares entre los lugareños. La reserva es siempre esencial para eventos especiales.

La segunda vez que me he comido, y el personal tan amable y servicial como en nuestra primera visita. Buen menú, precios razonables para un restaurante de hotel más grande. Comprensiblemente los residentes dan preferencia para sentarse en la zona de invernadero, lo que lo deja más aislado en el espacio abierto más grande de la zona del comedor principal.

Fantástico restaurante, teníamos nuestro propio menús para alérgicos hecha y la comida era verdaderamente excepcional. No puedo esperar a volver. Amable, atento y qué enorme alivio conseguir ese alto nivel de servicio. Tuvimos opciones de habitaciones aptas para alérgicos y la comida era tan buena, incluso mis hijos querían volver a por más. Ninguna de las comidas nos apetecía que dijeron que haría alergias - no puedo quejarme en absoluto! !

Drinks in reception whilst we made our choices, gluten free requirement clarified and menu choices adapted so I still had the braised lamb, and it was worth it, delicious! As was the meringue, with chantilly cream and fruit, looked appealing, tasted fab and finished off our meal beautifully. Staff were attentive but not intrusive and all this on a Sunday when so many other places are closed, thanks to Alasdair and staff!

From start to finish could not fault this dining experience, service delivered by Manager and Staff to a very high standard.Food cooked to perfection served in the conservatory

This restaurant is part of the large Cabarfeidh Hotel so the it’s a big open plan space. The food was good and the service excellent. We normally prefer smaller and perhaps cosier places, but despite that, we weren’t disappointed.

We were on Lewis over a weekend at the beginning of the season and had a number of meals here. Dining in the conservatory area was very enjoyable. The food and service was excellent, and we were exceptionally well looked after.

I had dinner here recently with a friend and even though we weren't hotel residents we had such a warm welcome from the staff including the hotel manager who took time to chat to us, despite it clearly being a busy evening for him with a lot of guests. A pre-dinner drink was offered to us in the lounge area and the espresso martini I had was one of the best i've tasted. The waiting staff in the restaurant were attentive and friendly without being intrusive and the food was amazing! Local produce, cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The waiter was kind enough to help us choose a wine and over all I was really impressed by the high standards throughout and will definitely return next time i'm in Stornoway. Absolutely recommended.

We had a lovely lunch, varied choice of menu prompt and efficient service by friendly staff. Very good value for money.

A great lunch, as usual, in this consistently excellent restaurant.Varied choice of menu, prompt and efficient service by the friendly staff, and several notches loosened on the belt afterwards.Great value for money.

The starters were nice but the meal went downhill from there. My main was not anything like that advertised on the menu, the salmon fillet was tiny and there was no flavouring on my vegetables, which consisted of boiled carrots and broccoli with not even salt or pepper on them. The mussels and asparagus which were on the menu were missing from my dish as well. Very overpriced food.

Orders muddled up. Had to wait 10 minutes staring at cooling plate of food while partners order prepared.Second course wrong. Had to wait 15 minutes for partners food to be cooked while mine was kept 'warm'. Unhygienic.

I have had some lovely meals here so i was disappointed by a celebration Sunday lunch for our family in September. The beef was tender but rather tasteless, there were far too few vegetables (a dish on the table to serve yourself and top up would have been better). We had a nice table in the conservatory and enjoyed the visit, just expected the meal to be a bit more special, the service was good.

We had a great experience on the Friday night, staff very good and attentive and food was very nice. We booked again for the Saturday night and were very disappointed with the service, not sure what happened obviously there were problems as we were offered a free drink. The food was still good but service was terrible, shame.

We enjoy the way a lot of the hotels and manor houses serve dinner. You start in a sitting area order and they take you to your table when the food is ready to be served. My husband chose to have two starters instead of a meal. He had the house cured salmon and the scallops and enjoyed them both. I had a 2 course dinner, a grilled houlami skewer with vegetables and a roasted vegetable tart topped with a rocket salad for dinner. We would eat here again. At breakfast we enjoyed the eggs Benedict.

We had a large family meal here, 12 people, and we all thought it was extremely good.The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the food was excellent. There was nothing to complain about which meant we could all just have a great family meal out.
