Talla na Mara in Eilean Siar

Very nice and a perfect shelter from the rain. This is a community enterprise centre that has a restaurant included in it. There is also community space and an art gallery/shop. The restaurant was light, airy and clean with a lovely view. The food was simple but high quality - very nice home made soup, burgers etc. The servers were youngsters. I see others have been critical of the service but, if you this as foremost a community centre, I think the service is pretty good. Large, clean washrooms were also much appreciated, especially as we travelled with a disabled person.

Great restaurant, fantastic food and a lovely location. Relaxed setting and a happy bunch of customers, mix of locals and tourists. The food was delicious, really well cooked and plentiful portions. The campsite is also excellent!

Got here today 26th September to be told they were closed at 2:45 ! Even though their website said till 5 and their times on menu said 3. Very disappointed. Especially seeing we popped in the day before and they said they would be open !!

Sat waiting for ages for someone to take our order and then when they did decide to acknowledge the tables they went to people that came in afrer us. 2 guys serving Not friendly at all and definitely not somewhere I would recommend to anyone. I'm not one to rush and don't mind waiting but that was ridiculous

A lovely meal with a fabulous view and friendly service. What more could you want? A mixture of Scottish and worldwide food beautifully presented.

Lovely place for a family dinner. We were lucky enough to be seated next to the window overlooking the beach - just gorgeous. Delicious food and decent sized portions. The young servers were lovely, very friendly.

Lovely setting and great quality food that was cooked beautifully. Huge improvement on previous restaurant management which was approaching being a rip off. Menu selection could be slightly wider but appreciate that isn't easy in a small community. The options on the menu are cooked excellently though with decent portion sizes. Great for families and spacious for high chairs etc. Unfortunately someone at our table had dog allergies which we told staff, so was disappointing the head waitress put tourists with a dog right next to us but other than that, great.

A beautiful location with huge potential or past achievements but sadly let down by poor and slow service. It's a great shame because our coffees came Luke warm and by the time the food came were really cold.

Beautiful building in a stunning location but that’s where it ends. Ignored by staff when arrived, ignored by staff when I eventually seated myself. Had to ask for menus , had to order food at the till . Very small portions for the large price, cake options were very poor . Overall very disappointing, waiting staff looked miserable with no customer focus whatsoever.

Visited midday when restaurant was half full. Pleasant welcome and allowed to sit where we wanted. Only ordered 2 coffees and a portion of chips but asked if we could have cheese on those and was instantly told no. Not really a difficult request and never even asked the chef if it was possible. Chips came and not really much of a portion for the cost. No cutlery and no serviettes. No one came to ask if everything was ok and for the type of restaurant you would expect them to come to you once you’d finished and then bring you the bill. Had to go and sort this myself at the counter. Quite disappointed in the service. Coffee was nice though.

On the booking form you're asked if this is a special occasion - it was. We were celebrating my 50th birthday. Don't know why they asked, we weren't seated at a window so had to enjoy the view around other people's heads and there was no mention of the occasion at all. The starters were delicious - tomato soup and haggis bonbons. The staff were friendly and efficient. The main courses were a disappointment on the whole. The fish and chips - fish cooked to perfection but the chips had clearly come out of the freezer and were oven chips. At £16.50 we expected better. The chicken and pesto tagliatelle was lovely for the first few mouthfuls, but became greasier and oilier the more I ate. I left half of it. The atmosphere was fairly non existent - as if people were scared to speak. The noise from the kitchen was a bit overwhelming - especially when metal trays (or metal somethings) were banged with force onto metal work tops. We had anticipated a lovely meal and were prepared to pay for it. In the end we felt slightly conned.

We have visited Talla na Mara before and been impressed by the imaginative design of the building, and the light and airy restaurant. However, the entrance now looks unprepossessing, and an untidy-looking campsite has appeared near by. I agree with the reviewer from April 23 who commented, ‘They should make up their mind whether they are a restaurant or a campsite!’ It was also off-putting, when we entered the restaurant, to find a waitress going round and round the floor with a broom, when it was only 7.00pm. The service did improve as the evening went on, though we heard comments about how busy and rushed they were – although only about half the tables were occupied. Perhaps the reservations system needs looking at, if staff feel that bookings need to be more spaced out. The food was OK, but we cancelled our booking for the next evening.

This establishment is in an absolutely wonderful location! It is in the same building as an art gallery/sale room. We were warmly welcomed for coffee, although it was getting close to lunch. We had coffee and cake, all very lovely. The staff were great.

The menu may be small but the dishes and taste are anything but small. We made two visits during the week. 1st class welcome and service. Should we be back in the area we will visit again.

Camping here for 2 nights. Facilities are immaculate and clearly set out in the email sent to you for code access to shower and toilets when the centre is closed. Further washing up, laundry facilities also on site advised in the email. Very friendly staff and lovely arts centre. Views over the white sandy beach are just stunning.

Very modern building on a great site....half decent food too. But we were also 3 campervans pitched up for the night and left sadly disappointed! Overall not a good experience. Toilets locked, no dish washing facilities and one disabled WC to use after closing. Sad...

This restaurant is a community enterprise with a new team working hard to make it a success for locals and visitors. We were really impressed with the inventive menu and the food was delicious. The dining space was light and airy with fabulous views over...

Fabulous meal, highly recommend the battered fish. All staff very tentive with a chilled atmosphere. Manager very welcoming and friendly. Great view watching the sun go down. Definitely would come back again.

Our family of 4 arrived at 2pm on a Friday hoping to have tea/coffee and cakes. We were told by a very rude staff member that we couldn’t have this as she had to “prioritise lunch service”, despite there being 6 empty tables. She then...

Stayed at the touring site in September. We were located on the lower level a few metres via a steep pathway to Talla Na Mara a cafe / restaurant which has beautiful views.A little disappointed as we just called in for coffee and snack no...

We popped in for coffee and cake, which were great. Service friendly and a great view. Called again for an early evening meal, the pizzas were perfect.

Stayed at the site with motorhome. Excellent facilities, clean, warm and smells great! The views are remarkable. It is very remote, you need to stock up with provisions when you get off the ferry. You can walk to the beautiful sandy beach albeit very wrapped...

The setting is exceptional. The staff are genuinely welcoming and efficient. The food is delicious and well presented. The prices are very very reasonable. Very well done

We stayed here in our caravan for a few days on site. Ventured up to cafe and three local business shops. Shops all shut on a saturday afternoon- bit disappointing. Booked cafe for dinner in evening. Atmosphere good - went at 6pm so families. Staff...

We enjoyed a really nice lunch here. the food was delicious and the staff were really engaging. The actually building has some great art.

On our short visit to Harris we visited Talla na Mara for dinner one day and lunch another day.. Both were excellent. Good food and excellent service. Highly recommended...................................

Very nice restaurant, very clean, great views. Good menu and food was excellent. Staff welcoming and attentive at all times.

This venue invites you in to have a coffee in the most amazing setting on the island… and the food on offer is just as special as the view. Make this venue a must to visit and to make sure your experience is guaranteed I...

Last time we were here we were served by a women that was rude and horrible at least the service was improved this time very average but thank goodness the women had gone !

You need to make a stop at this place and have a seat outside! Yep it might be nippy but the views! On top of that they have great food. Loved the Caesar salad and the soup!

Enjoyed a well made and well presented halloumi burger and a pint of cold larger while looking at a beautiful beach on the West coast of Harris. Price was high but worth it.

Super community focused cafe serving fresh food for lunches and afternoon meals. Amazing views of the coast from the restaurant and a great stop over during a tour of Harris.

It’s all part of a new complex: art shops, offices, campervan site, half dozen residential homes and a restaurant. Lovely views if you get a table by the windows, excellent haddock and chips plus veg. halloumi burger plus drinks and a (shared) dessert = £45....

Stopped there for a quick bite before catching a ferry. The views from the dining room are amazing. My husband had a chicken burger (thickest piece of chicken I’ve seen in a while) and I had the fish finger ciabatta. Both were very nice and...

Had two meals here - both excellent. We enjoyed the Sea Bass - amazing food, beautiful location and friendly staff. Worth noting they were not open in the evening in September so we ate at 4pm. Definitely recommend a visit.

We arrived at Talla na Mara cold and wet and hungry and were not disappointed. The Cullen Skink was outstanding! Lovely friendly service too. We went back for more a couple of days later! Fabulous views too.

Lovely but busy restaurant in a very scenic location. However, table service was slow as,unfortunately, people who arrived after us were served first. However, a staff member did apologise and was then very attentive. Cullen Skink was very tasty and filling; my husband greatly enjoyed...

After trying to get a coffee or lunch right around Harris we stopped at Talla na Mara where I have stopped in the years since it opened but, except on once occasion, been unable to get any service. We were greeted with "We are short...

We popped into the restaurant for a snack lunch and I had a hamburger with Stornaway Black Pudding which was vary tasty. The service was friendly and good, and the views we had from our table were as good as you can get.

Stopped in here for lunch with our tour group, food was ok but very expensive for what you actually get. I ordered pizza but the base was burnt. Not much choice with shops either, chocolate shop was very small, with limited selection and very expensive....

Food was okay..just that. We had booked 2 weeks ago and when we arrived it wasn't there.They squeezed us in. Service was abrubt. Very pricey for what it is.. Used to dine here pre-covid, it has changed sadly

Great place for food and the views are tremendous. Delicious coffee and cake. Excellent friendly service. Extremely clean and well organised. Nice art exhibition. Wish we could have diner here but did not have the time. We shall stop here again when possible.

Stayed on the campsite here and was lucky enough to spend our last night in the restaurant which was the reopening night! If you get the opportunity you MUST eat here. We had an absolutely, delicious meal and the service was also fantastic. The staff...

Went here for family meal and enjoyed every second. Staff were so helpful, food was prompt and delicious. They even did take out Haggis and Black Pudding/Wild Garlic pizza which were just as good off site. Would definitely go back. Views over the bay were...

We arrived for a 3 night stay. On arrival we thought we’d grab some lunch. We went into the restaurant and was asked how many was it for (we said 3) despite there being quite a few free tables we were told they were busy...

Great atmosphere with beautiful views over the bay. Really good quality service and helpful staff. Good fresh food with varied menu. Great place for families.

We were pleased to find that this restaurant was still in business when many others have had to give up. Our waitress was delightful and the food arrived promptly; we both had chicken and bacon cabbala with salad and chips, followed by strawberry tarts which were excellent. The Covid precautions in place seemed well thought out; I guess this might also account for the lack of atmosphere another review highlighted. But we thought it was fine, and bought a print in the gallery too.

Stopped here for lunch, wish we hadn't bothered. We were seated quite quickly then forgotten about. My husband ordered a burger and chips and I had fish and chips. Frozen chips were greasy and still hard. Burger was ok. On an island you would expect nice fresh fish, unfortunately that wasn't what arrived. Got a skinny piece of frozen haddock that was so greasy I would normally have left it, but I was starving so I ate it anyway. Overpriced frozen rubbish. The only redeeming factor was that the coffee was good. Don't waste your money, go elsewhere.

'This seashore & ocean at which countless have gazed/ Forever will garner the wayfarer's praise' ~ bard Dòmhnall I. Dòmhnallare the words etched on the windows by our table today. For a quiet place to rest and have a cuppa and a bowl of soup, it is ideal.The server was indifferent, but the food was hot, fresh and welcome. We had a lovely roasted red pepper and tomato bisque, and hamburgers that were stacked with Charlie Barley flavour.

Staff pleasant but not much atmosphere in the restaurant. We each ordered a ciabatta, mine was dry but tasty enough. My son had a scone which was also dry. I requested a dessert but all four on the menu were unavailable! Way over priced for a mediocre lunch. Wouldn't rush back sadly.

We actually stayed at the adjoining site, Pairc Niseaboist, which shares the Talla Na Mara facilities via a short path up the hillside. Excellent information provided which meant we never saw staff, just let ourselves into the site. Pitch 1 had wonderful views of the sea and a very short walk to the grass/beach out front. Despite there only being one shared shower, this wasn’t a problem. Small site with only 5 or 6 other pitches.

Wonderful staff , a warm welcome awaits you. The menu choice was perfect and beautifully presented as well as being delicious. Would certainly recommend.

We stopped here for a pot of tea, coffee and cake. The view is amazing, drinks fine, cake dry and expensive.

Stopped off for a late lunch without a reservation. Didn't have to wait long while they cleaned a recently vacated table for me - nice to see everything wiped down properly including the chairs. Good covid precautions in place - asked to scan in on the "protect Scotland" app, one way system through the venue, tables all well distanced. Service was quick and friendly. I had the "daily special" open sandwich with beetroot, avocado and seeds which was served with a nicely dressed salad - delicious. I also ordered a side of chips, which were excellent. I will plan to visit for dinner next time I am in Harris. The sea views from the restaurant are spectacular. The outside terrace would be a great place to eat if the weather was warmer than on my visit.

We stopped for lunch with 2 wee ones on our way to the ferry home yesterday. I am so disappointed I didn’t come here at the start of our trip as would have loved to have eaten there more than once! Beautiful, modern & very clean inside.The food was delicious - I had a Machair burger (chicken) which was great. Partner had the haggis and black pudding pizza, kids had fish and chips & peas and we also shared a bowl of Cullen skink. The soup was divine and the best Cullen skink I have EVER tasted. Compliments to the chef on that one for sure!! Coffee was also lovely. Nice extra touch that the kids were given a drawing pack too to keep them amused. I’m always apprehensive taking children in to eateries however the staff were really accommodating and friendly with them & put me at ease. Staff were friendly & on the ball. The owner (I think she was) was also there & was really pleasant too. The view from the window was absolutely stunning over the sea too. Can’t wait to come back next year on another visit! Thanks Talla na Mara.

We were at Luskentyre and came across this place almost accidentally as the road signposting doesn't make it totally clear what is there. But we're so glad we did!. Great food, generous portions, very friendly staff and prompt service, and careful covid precautions. And of course views to die for. We came back on our last day and were able to sit outside in the September sunshine. First rate!

Fantastic food, amazing views, attentive staff, we visited twice during our weeks stay in Harris, Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We went in as a family & waited by the ‘please wait here to be seated’ sign. We were not acknowledged except to be asked to move by the staff walking past. After about 15 minutes we were asked ‘actually could you just go stand behind the door’ by one member of staff. We found the place to look nice but the lack of courtesy, very slow & rude service unreasonable so we upped & left leaving a queue of people just stood waiting whilst nothing happened. Great location but appalling service.

We stopped here for coffee and cake. I sampled the strawberry tart, while my partner had the caramel shortcake. Both were excellent and the views wonderful. Staff were friendly and social distancing was done very well in the whole building. Overall, an excellent experience. Thank you!

We stayed at the campsite down the road from this restaurant.... We booked a table on the day by chance and glad we did as super popular... And the reason being it is amazing. The lady who owns it and her team was fabulous! We had fish and chips all round and all clean plates. The lady helped us out too thanks again for that. Have recommend this haunt to our friends who are visiting over the next few months and would do the same to anyone who is lucky enough to visit Harris! A must do!

Lovely spot and great food but staff were really unfriendly. Recognise it’s a challenging time for everyone right now and we are all adjusting but the staff were rude and hostile. The lady in the chocolate shop was so lovely and saved the day. Would pop back in the hope that we were just unlucky on our visit.

Food was terrific, we all had freshly caught haddock and it was amazing! The owner and staff were very kind and helpful, going above and beyond to make sure our stay in Harris so pleasant.

We stumbled across this Gem whilst exploring the amazing beaches of Harris. It’s a great location and lovely view that changes as the weather changes. The food was brilliant and lovely staff. Also very good gluten free and veggie options. Both daughters happy.😀 Thankyou xx

Had a delicious freshly made pizza at this newly reopened restaurant. Food was great, staff really helpful and friendly, service was quick and, even with covid restrictions in place, it was a beautiful place to stop to eat with a view to die for! Also good to see a mixture of both local and tourist visitors. Would highly recommend and already planned next visit.

Lovely facilities in a beautiful location. Harris can get windy, and the pitches are quite exposed. So, what you get in a view means you also get wind. Choose carefully. Not cheap.

My husband and I stopped here on a drive around the south of the island. It was truly disgusting weather but still beautiful and fantastic moody view from the cafe. I had a delicious fish finger sandwich. Lovely food and atmosphere all round!

I stopped at the Talla na Mara with the intention of having a wonderful lunch ! What I decided on , however, turned out to be probably THE best cheesecake that I have ever tasted !!! Made with Harris gin absolutely gorgeous ! Compliments to the chef and also the friendly staff ! Beautiful views too ! Can’t wait to go back next time !

Stopped twice for lunch and visit to the Craft and Art Gallery. Beautiful location overlooking the sea and beach.

We visited on a midweek lunchtime, and although clearly quite busy the staff were friendly and attentive. The ordered food (a starter of homemade thick mushroom soup, and a vegan lasagna) were both delicious and filling. The views from our table were stunning, also loved the gallery part of the building. Lovely.

Stunning setting for delicious lunch. Hearty soups, delicious breads and a nice variety of fresh menu items. Service a bit spotty, but not horrible.

This restaurant was an unexpected find like a treasure at the end of a rainbow. We were a party of 5 for lunch. The staff were lovely and I had the most amazing salad. It’s in a beautiful location and thoroughly recommended.

Food only just very average, visited with family, left feeling disappointed! Firstly, no daft beers available, sold out, no mussels, scallops or mackerel, also sold out. Seafood chowder very smokey taste, children’s garlic bread very well toasted and dry in taste. One of the children’s meals ( chicken goujons ) did not taste very good, strange taste to them. Seafood linguine lacked seasoning, however good portion size, once seasoned was ok. Steak was a little tough, not much taste to it. Fish and chips should be avoided! Batter very heavy, chips with skin on, frozen, oil needed changing, would have improved the taste, small amount of chips. Really disappointing meal, over priced for sure, service sadly also only just average. It’s a strange restaurant, in that it’s location is beautiful, but no real view as obscured by gazebo. It has some kind of gazebo attached to the front that looks onto the sea, but from the inside the restaurant it makes the view blurry. No atmosphere to the restaurant, it would have been lovely to have had some gentle Scottish music playing in the background, it really needs some character and charm. It’s charging more than average prices for less than average food and service, the location is beautiful but can’t really be seen when in the restaurant due to gazebo as mentioned. Disappointing experience in respect to restaurant, would not recommend or return.

This was a very welcome stop, offering a delicious array of cakes. We arrived dripping wet having been caught in a storm whilst cycling the Hebridean Way. The staff were welcoming. My only complaint is that service was very slow - even taking into account the Hebridean way of life - this was just poor process.

We were staying in two of the three campervan pitches at this site, which is in a stunning location, and decide we would do a breakfast the following morning here. We went into the complex to check on opening times for the morning, which were on the board at the restaurant door as the restaurant was closed at that point. Next morning we went to find that the restaurant was not open at the prescribed time, we eventually found somebody to ask when they were opening as we were looking for breakfast. The manageress then came to tell us that they would not be open as they had a special group arriving that morning. We pointed out that this could have been intimated previously as we were now going to have to go find someplace else as we had packed up the campers. To this she replied that the only way she could have advertised the fact was by internet, I suggested a sign on the door the previous evening may have worked. This must have hit a nerve as she got the chefs to do us some very fine scrambled egg with smoked salmon and good toast.There was a problem , but it was solved well and we were neither hungry nor dissatisfied and the local crafts people did well out of us as we had been held there. So a result all round.The restaurant is a little clinical and has a stark feel to it, but the view is good.

Ein ganz tolles Projekt des West Harris Trust.

Very disappointed in our recent visit for a family meal. The waiting staff where the worst I have experienced. Especially the managing waitress. She was loud, unfriendly, dressed unprofessionally in ripped jeans and hopeless at her job. The food was just OK. Fish pie was very heavily flavoured with mustard. The Harris lamb did not have much flavour. I doubt it was local Harris lamb. Portions where very small. The view is all that was good about this resturant.

Called in for a light lunch and was not disappointed, the place was quite busy but service was still good. Good variety and reasonable prices and brilliant view (even though the weather was not great)

The location and design of this restaurant and craft centre is wonderful, with its expanse of windows overlooking a beautiful bay. We called in hoping for a snack, and had a delicious lunch - fish and chips served with minted peas, an original and tasty idea; and fish pie with a garnish of grilled mussels - looked as good as it tasted. Service was friendly and efficient, and the view was outstanding!

The place feels a bit odd. The decor is somewhat spartan and everything is hard surfaces, but the food is superb. Simple, but scrumptions. I had the Moules Marinieres and they were gorious. I highly recommend the Cranachan, which contained Scalpay honey.

A great place for lunch when touring Harris. The menu is excellent and the staff were extremely friendly. The views are stunning and I’m sure if you were lucky enough to get a hot day a seat outside overlooking the bay would be bliss. Very glad we chose this spot for our refuelling.

Found the staff unfriendly and not very welcoming. We went for lunch and when our order arrived it was incorrect. When I mentioned that I had also ordered a soup the waiter only said ok. Not an apology. However, when we went to may the waitress apologised. The food was well presented but the soup was not particularly hot. I felt it was over priced as they have the monopoly in the area

My wife and I visited this restaurant on the west coast of Harris yesterday evening and really enjoyed the experience.

Had dinner here on Monday 15th April. Both had fish and it was lovely. Children enjoyed desserts too. Friendly service too. Nice to have an eating option in this area of West Coast now that Hebridean Art café is no more.

We went early in the week for dinner. Quite a good menu with lots of seafood. Service was good and friendly and the views looking out to sea were lovely. A wee bit disappointing that they didn't have about 4 of the items on the menu. We made our choices and were not disappointed with our food. Well cooked and presented and very tasty. We would return and recommend it.

Been here before and knew the cafe/restaurant was pricey, but when on holiday you don;t mind paying a bit extra for quality and to feed the local economy. However, with limited stops for refreshments we were prepared to wait (45 minutes) for 5 cyclists. Ordered the fishcakes (or so we thought) but all we got was one fishcake (which was lovely) on a small bed of watercress. Nearly choked on the £8.50 price tag though. Shame it marred an otherwise great day out. I would have been embarassed to have served that up for the price.

Café avec une vue magnifique sur la plage! Nous avons opté pour un sandwich au crabe et un burger au thon : délicieux! Produits frais et efficaces. Le café est juste à côté de petits magasins ou vous trouverez de superbes souvenirs a ramener chez vous. Foncez!

Lovely food. Went here for both lunch and dinner and recommend both. The children’s chocolate fondue is literally something to cry for if my youngest is to be believed!

Met up with family here for lunch on a sunny October day. There were 6 of us and we all enjoyed the food. The seafood chowder was delicious and filling. The sandwiches looked very tasty and the bread was lovely. Coffee and cake afterwards was excellent too. Some lovely home baking. My only grumble; my flat white could have been hotter.

Only had a coffee and a bun but I like it. The food looked good too. Nice ambience and good service in a great location with great views. I can recommend this place.

What a find , view is amazing . Busy place, great menu selection . Waited a while to get Served. Worth the wait very tasty . Friendly and informative staff although not local to area !

Amazing views if you are lucky enough to have a table at the window. We found the food a bit overpriced. Staff was really nice.

Lovely food (exceeded our expectations) in a nice modern setting. Friendly service. Really good to know the building is owned by the local community. Great views of the bay if you're there during daylight.

We changed our plans to come back here in our camper overnight so we could have dinner and it was an excellent decision. Dinner was very good as were the camper pitches and facilities. If you want to park a camper overnight you must book in advance.

I stopped here for lunch. It was a pleasure to find a new contemporary restaurant and the menu looked promising. I chose the crab sandwich expecting the usual delicate flavour of crab in some kind of artisan bread. Unfortunately the crab had been mixed with mayo and onion of all things so the flavour was completely lost. I might as well have been eating some cheap sandwich filling.

We are staying on Harris and have visited here twice for lunch. The views are incredible. The light and weather changes constantly and the vista across to Taransay and the nearby Nisabost beach are absolutely stunning. The architecture of the building is fantastic and the art studios are worth visiting. I bought some lovely landscape prints from Owen Williams, one of the resident artists.

On our last day we stopped for an evening meal. Out of 4 meals 3 had something not as expected; soup luke warm: steak rare rather than medium; chips a little greasy. However the service was quick and with a warm smile.

Soup, crab, scallops and local lamb were all superb, making the entire table very contented. Excellent range of beers and wines, with a view to boot.

Great location but after being yelled at by the bearded dark haired English man to wait we were kept waiting for over 40 minutes despite there being empty tables and people just walking in and sitting down. You could see the fear in the poor girls who worked there I would suggest you get a new man for next summer. And go down the road to temple cafe were they were very friendly and great food and service.

popped in here for a drink and cake after a lovely afternoon at the beach. Excellent new facility in the local area. The cakes we had were fantastic so we will be back. What a view the café has over the beach area - seats outside on lovely days would be great!

We visited here twice. Once for a birthday dinner and again for breakfast. Excellent fare... lovely service by local people and amazing views. The manager however could have been a little more welcoming and pleasant given those circumstances. Two visits in four days!! Surely!!
