Precioso restaurante! ¡La pizza es divina y su tarta de queso también! ¡Buena porción también! Sin duda recomiendo la comida y el restaurante. Personal muy amable y servicial! ¡He visto que ahora están tristemente cerrados! Destripado ahora que había encontrado mi restaurante favorito y la comida! Espero que vuelvan a abrir pronto!

Buen personal, buen servicio, gran vista desde la ventana del restaurante, pero paredes negras y no gran iluminación. Toma un tiempo para que tus ojos se adapten. Cueva bastante deprimente como los alrededores.

Wow! ¡Qué hermoso restaurante! Me encanta la decoración! Es mucho más grande por dentro, ¡y qué vista impresionante para ver mientras cenas! Este restaurante es súper álamo, así que tengo que reservar con antelación. No tomé ningún cóctel mientras conducía, pero las otras chicas lo hicieron y les encantaron! Todo el mundo disfrutaba de su comida, mi marido tenía una hamburguesa, dijo que era agradable, pero era un poco demasiado grasoso. Los tamaños de las porciones son perfectos. Recibí la pizza camembert con aderezo de higo, y no pude dejar de pensar en ella días después, ¡estaba deliciosa! Afortunadamente vamos a volver de nuevo! ¡Sé lo que estoy ordenando otra vez! ¡El hecho de que tengan un horno de pizza solo hace que las pizzas tengan un sabor saludable y delicioso! Gran variedad para elegir en el menú. ¡Precios no muy malos! No tenía postre, pero la tarta de queso se veía increíble! Quizá lo intentemos la próxima vez. El personal era muy servicial y muy amable. Nos aseguramos de que tuvimos una velada agradable y nos atendieron bien. Sin duda recomendaría! ¡No puedo esperar para ir de nuevo! Creo que este podría ser mi restaurante favorito!

Waitress moody and some of the food revolting. When we politely mentioned the food wasn’t great we were told the food was bought in and the potatoes were from lunchtime and heated back up for dinner!!! He still charged us for the unpleasant food. We didnt have dessert, coffee or liquors as when you are out to eat customer service and how you deal with a complaint is important to us.

Arrived in the early evening on Friday & came here to check in to our accommodation. We were warmly welcomed, the gentleman was very polite and handed over everything we needed to know. The place has a calming and cosy ambience, lovely decor and overall it's a really inviting place. We booked for dinner and were sat by the window and beside the warm log fire. We had the Pinot Noir option to drink which turned out to be really enjoyable. To start we had the prawn cocktail starter between us, then I had the special BBQ rack of ribs and she had the Haddock. We shared each others' dishes and very much enjoyed them. Finished with the cheesecake and by that point we were very well fed. We were very well looked after and it was a pleasure dining at the bay restaurant. Thank you everyone! This was a birthday weekend away and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Wanted to thank you for a splendid time and I'm wishing all the best on your future. Dunbeath was a great getaway. Thanks again!

We had a really lovely meal here today, and used a voucher our sons had recently bought for my BIG birthday, which has just passed. Starters delicious & burgers were amazing. There sadly was an issue with the expiry date on the voucher (it said it expired Aug '23 - should have read Aug '24!!!) - the owner thankfully agreed to honour it. A lovely lassie served us. The view across Dunbeath bay is amazing.

Visitors to the area, staying with friends who live locally, called in for dinner three of us ordered fish and chips the fish was dry on talking to the manager about this he seemed to be in a temper about their mistake took the plates away and then we didn’t see him again until we got up to leave, he then expected us to pay full price for meals uneaten, we will never eat here again and advise you to not also.

If you are feeling hungry and are passing this restaurant keep going. We called in having booked a meal and would struggle to find anywhere we've been to that has provided poorer service. On arrival we were ignored for a while whilst waiting as requested to be seated. When we were spoken to we were told 'you're table is over there'. No effort was made to take us to it or provide a menu as is generally the case. After about ten minutes the waitress asked us if we'd like to order at which point it finally clicked that we hadn't seen a menu yet. On ordering two drinks the coke was thin and watery whilst the lager was flat. On complaining about the lager was told that nothing more could be done and it looked perfectly fine. The landlord then took a mouthful before passing it back for us to finish. The food when it came, pizzas, were ok but nothing special. On paying the bill we then discovered we'd been charged for an extra pint of lager. Signs outside proclaim this venue as a restaurant of the year. If so I'd hate to see who they were up against. Avoid at all cost.

Overnight stop at nearby Inver House campsite and needed something to eat. How amazing to find the only food for miles around is so good!The staff are extremely friendly and although we had to wait a little while to be served they were attentive and we never felt forgotten. After all there is a limit to how many pizzas can fit in a proper oven at once.The best food we had had during a week in Scotland, generous portions and not over-priced. They have a great selection of things to drink too, including local craft ales and many different gins.Don't be put off by the exterior which looks quite small and unimpressive. Inside is spacious and very comfortable with panoramic views over the bay.Wishing the owners every success in these difficult times.

I was about to write my review when I read the previous entryI was in the restaurant on the same night and also had the linguine, a special. It was delicious I also had with it a garlic bread with cheese and asked for added Chilli. Provided no problem, the young waitress couldn't have been better.My partner had the double burger and said it was one of the best burgers she has had.In addition we are both gin drinkers and they have not just well over 100 whisky choices but over 50 mainly Scottish or local sourced gins. I would recommend this as a stop on your NC500. It is a great pub with excellent food and lovely people.

Booked a table last night 24/08/21 for my husbands birthday whilst on holiday here. What a very disappointing evening. We both ordered the linguine and it was the worst we have ever had! The plates were cold and the food bland and tasteless. We told the waiter we were not happy and his reply was “well what do you want me to do about it”What a response!! Asked for parmesan cheese for the topping and was charged 50p. When we came to pay we raised our concerns with the owner who did not seem to care about our complaint.Will certainly not be recommending to family and friends.Avoid this place.

We drove past this place on the way to our campsite, as it has an ideal location right in the A9. Decided to go back for dinner and drinks in the evening.The place is unassuming from the front, but the interior is incredible. Open plan kitchen so you can watch your food being made, large window showing off a fantastic view of the bay and the decor was very smart and stylish.The staff were very friendly, the owner going our of his way to give us drinks and food recommendations and even stopped for a chat about the local area and how he came about to own the place. He was also training a new member of staff at the time, who he was very attentive to and patient when she was asking questions.The menu is very inclusive and varied, you won't have much trouble finding something you like. Good quality food and portion sizes for the price. They've got a huge selection of spirits and local lagers and ales. It was a lovely evening spent, and I'll be recommending the place to friends who are also trying out the NC500.

This restaurant and bar was taken over by new owners a year or so ago. The decor and layout of the premises has vastly improved, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Service wasn't that fast, but pretty good. However, the menu has changed a lot, and is much more limited than previously. If you like burgers and pizzas you will enjoy your visit! If you want something a little more sophisticated, you will be disappointed. I enjoyed their 'Meat Feast' pizza, as the quality was good. However, I was disappointed that at a restaurant overlooking the sea there was no fresh fish on the menu. Neither were there any straightforward steaks etc, with fresh vegetables and potatoes (rather than chips). The side salad which I ordered with my pizza was vastly overpriced, at £4.95. A local person said to me that the menu offered might appeal to passing visitors, but will not appeal to the local population. So I think that there is room for improvement.

Where do I start with this restaurant/bar? Me and 7 of my friends are currently completing the NC500. We stopped off at Inver caravan park for the night and booked here to go for a few drinks and a meal to celebrate our last night on our trip. The first thing that stood out to us all was the fantastic location and sea views, the restaurant was only a two minute walk away from the campsite! Next was the modern decor the place was just gorgeous, we got speaking to the owner John and he showed us the before and after pictures of the renovation, something he was so passionate about it was great to see! We had delicious food at an amazing price as well as a few cocktails and bottles of wine. The atmosphere was fantastic. The staff really took their time to care for you and make sure they met all your needs. We ended our night on such a high and can say that this night was the best night on our trip.

Stopped in on Tuesday night with a group of six of us. Nice menu choice, not too much but something for everyone. Keeping the menu simple meant that everything was fresh and absolutely yummy! We had a selection of pizzas, (all delicious), fish and chips, and a pulled pork burger. We were all absolutely stuffed but after a while chatting and admiring the stunning views decided maybe we could squeeze in a dessert, and my, was that the right decision!! Cheesecake, carrot cake, pancake stack, sticky toffee pudding were all shared and polished off! Thank you x. Just wish we were here another night to revisit! Well done on the refurb. Magnificent!!

We stopped off at The Bay as a group of 8 on the NC500 and it has a very cosy but rustic atmosphere. The staff were so accommodating and friendly, making a real effort for us to feel welcome. Not only is the food so lovely, but so affordable too. The drinks selection is great and also so affordable. The view is stunning too, you cannot fault the place!

(Ask them anything, drinks, how the food tastes, where to go on your next stop etc)Great service.Lovely decor, great relaxed vibe.Would highly recommend this place.The new owners have worked so hard to bring it up to scratch and up to date, modern, yet not over powering, all ages would feel comfortable here.

Found The Bay by chance and would be delighted if it was my local. Wood fired Pizza oven. I had a fabulous pizza and my husband was very happy with his fish and chips. A professional and warm welcome by enthusiastic and experienced owners. A credit to Dunbeath. Very reasonably priced.

Stopped at The Bay with no prior booking as we were doing a road trip all over Scotland. My husband went in alone initially as our 7 yr old daughter is autistic and may have become distressed if we were turned away due to her lack of understanding about bookings. A man we presume is the owner, when my husband explained there were in fact 3 of us and why he had gone in alone, immediately said he would ensure he could give us a table despite the lack of a booking. He directed us to a quieter entrance, showed us to a quieter table out of the way and wasn’t phased when our daughter didn’t respond to him talking to her. We had a lovely meal without feeling our usual anxiety when we eat out with our daughter. All of the staff were amazingly sensitive towards her and the young man serving us didn’t mind when clearing our plates that she decided she wasn’t in fact finished. He said no problem, let her take her time and simply came back later on. The food was delicious, huge portions and well worth the cost - though I would have expected it to cost more due to the standard of the food being very good. No room for pudding, we were absolutely stuffed. We had the Bolognese pizza, pulled pork pizza and my daughter had the special which was a pesto linguine. Aside from the food being well worth a visit, I would commend all the staff for making us and our daughter welcome and comfortable. We often feel very isolated and excluded due to the lack of understanding people have in respect of autism but they not only had some understanding of autism, but also seemed to go out of their way to ensure we all had a nice time, which we did. For us, a meal out together can be difficult but they made it anything but.We cannot thank them enough for their kindness. Given a rating of 5 as that’s the max but I would score more if I could.

We booked for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. Fabulous vibe, and the restaurant was really busy. There was a slight delay in being served, but the food we had was excellent. We ordered cauliflower pakora for starter to share with a bottle of water and bottle of sauvignon blanc. We ordered the winter salad with chicken and one without with a side of fries. All was delicious and will definitely go back. Including 10% tip total cost was £83.95.

We know the Tongue area very well, and like to eat locally, so it was obvious we would decide to eat at the Craggan, and i'm happy we did! The restaurant area is welcoming and clean, staff friendly, and the car park was easy even with a big van. The only problem was choosing from the menu! So many tasty things - i wish we had more time to visit again.. All three of us enjoyed our food, and we shared everything so i know it was all delicious. Thank you for making a rather wet evening so special..

I recently had the pleasure of spending a delightful day at Dores Inn, and I still find myself reminiscing about the experience six months later. Nestled along the shores of the iconic Loch Ness, this charming inn offers a perfect blend of stunning views, a warm atmosphere, and exceptional service. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a lovely ambiance that sets the tone for a relaxing visit. The inn has ample seating, both indoors and outdoors, making it easy to find a cozy spot to enjoy the picturesque scenery. We opted for an outside table, and it turned out to be the best decision of the day. The views of the loch were absolutely breathtaking, providing a serene backdrop for our meal. Speaking of the meal, I must rave about the food—simply sublime! I usually find coleslaw unappealing, but Dores Inn's homemade version was a game changer. It was fresh, flavorful, and complemented our dishes beautifully. Every bite was a testament to the culinary care that goes into their offerings. After our satisfying meal, we joined a Rib-Boat journey on the loch, which was an exhilarating way to experience the surroundings. The thrill of speeding across the water, combined with the breathtaking views of the loch and its mythical charm, made for an unforgettable adventure. As a memento of our day, I couldn't resist purchasing one of their handmade crochet teddies of Nessie. It's now a cherished keepsake that brings back fond memories of our visit. To wrap up our day, we took a leisurely walk along the shoreline. The tranquility of the loch, coupled with the stunning natural beauty surrounding us, was the perfect ending to a fantastic day. Overall, Dores Inn exceeded my expectations in every way. From the lovely atmosphere and great views to the delectable food and friendly service, it’s a place I highly recommend. If you're looking for an exceptional day out near Loch Ness, don’t miss the opportunity to visit this gem. I still think about that wonderful day, and I can’t wait to return!
