The atmosphere is pleasant and the staff is very nice. Great prices for both food and drinks. The food is bland and they have a way to go there. I’ve had better meals, but it was okay for the price.

Blumming awful.Went to The Rio Pizzeria.Upon entering the restaurant there was an American couple complaining about their meal,probably should have rung alarm bells.They we’re the only other people in there,but it was a Thursday so maybe not a ‘busy’ night.The decor of the place and general look was that it needed a good clean and refurb. Ordered the garlic bread to start with to share with my partner.It was advertised on the menu as a pizza garlic bread.It came,and it was 3 slices of frozen slices,and a bit of salad. Decided on a pizza for mains.Both of us ordered the same.The Godfather,a spicy one with chicken and chillies on.When it arrived it was nothing like the description.The chicken tasted like it was chicken that had been prepared for the curries(.The menu also had a list of Indian curries you could have).There was no chillies in sight and it was covered in loads of mozzarella.Tasteless.Mentioned it to the waiter but he couldn’t understand anything we were saying,not sure if it might have been our. broad Yorkshire accentsJust paid and was glad to get out.

I read previous reviews stating the hotel was in need of an update but decided to book because of the location. We arrived by train and had a short walk to the hotel. The room had two twin beds which were reasonably comfortable. The decor is lackluster but room was tidy though small. We asked for a first floor (up a flight of stairs) and were accommodated. I would suggest skipping the breakfast if you want a hot meal - fine for yogurt, toast, juice and coffee. The rest is pretty inedible. We found it very convenient to the shops and restaurants on High Street. I would return if the price was right.

The staff lied to us to get us in the place as they seem to have just opened the day we went. I phone to book a meal and asked if they do indian. I was advise yes we do indian meals. However 20 mins after booking we went in, sat down with the menus, ordered a drink and when it arrived we made to order our indiam meals to be told they have none. I think this was a ploy to get us in the place to spend.

I cannot comment on the rooms as we did not stay. My wife and I were on a visit to Fort William for a few days and were looking for somewhere different to eat when we saw a small advertisement board on the street. The board wasn,t there the night before and it was advertising Indian meals and various pakora. I phoned to book a table for half an hours time and actually asked if Indian meals were available. I was advised yes and table booked. We arrived some 20 minutes later, sat at the table, ordered a drink while we perused the three individual menus handed to us by staff. One was snacks, one was European foods, steaks chicken etc and the other all Indian fare. My wife and I studied the Indian menu and when the waitress came to our table we requested our choice of Indian to be told they have none. Not none left but NONE. When I mentioned that a board advertising Indian outside, a phone call confirming Indian meals available only sone 20 odd minutes ago and the fact she let us order drinks and peruse the Indian menu she wasnt perturbed and we got a very weak sorry. Ok, sorry about the length but needed to explain so you will understand my point. It is obvious to me that we were taken in under false pretenses as I suspect as the place was so quiet they thought we would settle for anything and spend money in the place. To say we were dissapointed and somewhat annoyed is an understatement.

I’d say this place has a bit of a cheek to call itself a pizzeria, the pizza was like a pre-made base with about 3 blocks of cheese on it, would not recommend if u like real pizza! My friend ordered the vegetable pakora which they didn’t have so ordered the sausage pakora which was battered cocktail sausages! They also forgot his naan bread for his curry and when he asked about it they apologised but then had to be asked again to go and get one!! The prawns in the prawn cocktail were like rubber and the steaks were too. Once again if a menu seems like it has too many options to be true, it usually means that none of them will be done very well. Better off taking a wander up to Wetherspoons where at least you know what you’re going to get.

Mi esposa y yo vinimos aquí en un recorrido en autobús. Fue un cambio tardío en el horario, se proporcionó un almuerzo fijo, pastel de carne y luego tarta de queso (había una alternativa vegana, etc.).Teníamos muchas dudas sobre el almuerzo, pero no podría haber estado tan equivocado. La tarta de carne era casera y EXCELENTE, piel de papas nuevas, verduras frescas. La tarta de queso también era casera y no está nada mal. El servicio fue excelente.

Esta es la peor comida que hemos tenido! Elegimos el menú italiano ya que los sabores suelen ser fuertes y fuertes. El menú también dijo que la comida era de origen local. Las gambas en masa estaban obviamente fuera de una bolsa grande congelada y estaban totalmente sin sabor y estaban empapadas. El pan de ajo obviamente nunca había estado cerca de mantequilla.La lubina estaba claramente en el microondas. ¡La pizza de mi esposo estaba completamente insípida y realmente incomible! Las pizzas y las pastas eran predominantemente a base de carne.La calificación de una estrella fue para el servicio que era bueno.

We decide to go for a late lunch one afternoon and happened into the bar side of this restaurant. Its fairly small, but very cozy Scottish decor. The staff was pleasant and friendly. I personally am not fond of Indian food (which is the fare of the main dining room) so ordered fish and chips from the bar menu. I can't reiterate how pleasantly suprised I was... the fish was batteread and cooked to perfection and the chips were crispy and not the least bit greasy. It was served with a salad garnish and garden peas. Tis is hands down the best fish and chips in Fort William ( we are here often), particularly for a sit in restaurant. The other really pleasant suprise? its only £7.95! ( most other sit in restaurants was a tenner and they don't touch this for quality and VALUE!) P.S.>Mr. Barnes ordered the Lamb Bhoona which was the daily special and absolutely loved it.

Cenamos aquí anoche. La comida era horrible, no recibimos lo que pedimos y la camarera estaba más interesada en que probáramos la comida india porque el chef era bueno para hacer comida india, el hecho de que estuviéramos en un restaurante italiano no vino a eso. Mi esposo pidió camarones y consiguió champiñones rellenos. Pedí bruschetta, nunca lo he tenido con tomates cocidos y cebollas antes. La pizza era terrible, apenas podíamos cortarlos con cuchillos ordinarios. Experiencia muy decepcionante y nunca volveremos.

I’d seen the Imperial for many years but had never been in. It’s a stalwart of this grand Highland town. Not changing much on the outside. The reception area is fine, excellent toilets which is always a bonus. The bar is really cosy and compact. It had a steady flow of residents and blow ins like myself. The girls were efficient and friendly. Good beer and reasonably priced too will secure this a return visit next time I’m this far north again.

This Christmas Day I went to The Imperial Hotel for my Christmas Dinner. I must say, it was a great success! When I got to the hotel, I was given a glass of pink champagne. When the rest of the party arrived, we were shown into the dining room. The table was all decked out in Christmas decorations and there was a cracker for everyone. For starters I had "Ham hock and Chicken Terrine". This was a great dish. It came with a piece of toasted brioche, and oodles of caper mayonnaise. Then we were all given an "amuse bouche". This was a "Bellini Peach Ice Cocktail". Absolutely perfect for the occasion. Then I had "Traditional Roast Turkey with Trimmings" , which was just as it said. I finished off with "Baileys Cheesecake" with christmas pudding Ice Cream. All of these dishes were totally delicious! After a wee coffee, and a glass of red wine, the Christmas Dinner was completed. I must say, the whole meal was fully satisfactory. (And quite cheap, too!) All that cost £35. Bargain!

Our teenage son fancied a pizza, so we followed the signs to the Rio restaurant which turned out to be a room in the Imperial hotel. There were three rooms laid out for meals in all, one for hotel breakfasts, one the hotel bar and the 'Rio restaurant' room.

Very good food - excellent 'Special Offer' of 2 courses for £12.95. The Prawn Cocktail was good, though the tomato and cucumber were too big for the dish, so could have been greatly improved just by cutting into smaller, daintier pieces for it to be a reasonable Prawn Cocktail. Salmon steak looked lovely that my friend had, and my Grilled Pork was also very good. Served with New Potatoes and Roasted veg, then followed Tiramisu - large portions again, so very good value for money.

We chose to eat in the restaurant but from the bar menu, which the staff were happy to accommodate. The waitress brought an ice-bucket with the white wine, saying it wasn't very cold. Another waiter poured it shortly afterwards and it was actually warm - I used ice from the ice bucket to cool it. Very good haggis/chicken pakora starters. My husband's medium-well steak was only just medium-rare, and the bread and butter pudding, whilst pleasant enough, had obviously been microwaved as there were a couple of stone-cold parts of it. Being English, we didn't complain, but should definitely have sent the wine and the steak back, and possibly the dessert! We only chose it for nostalgic reasons because we ate there on our wedding day 20 years ago - won't be going back.

As we ate early evening we were two of an eventual five people eating. The place looked new and we found out it opened last year. The menu was for Italian style dishes and pizzas. I ordered a focaccia bread with garlic and rosemary to start. It was pizza styled bread, but was very thin, crispy on the edges and quite chewy. The main course I chose was Spaghetti Carbonara, one of my favourites. I was disappointed to find that there was not much cream (if any) in evidence, but an amazing quantity of butter had been used, leaving quite a pool in the bottom of my dish after I had finished. There was really no atmosphere in the room, due partly to overhead lighting where we were sitting.To improve? Lose the overhead lights on an evening. Make sure there is staff behind the bar in the room. Serve focaccia bread which is nice and deep and increase the amount of cream and egg in the Carbonara and cut down on the butter. On the plus side, there was plenty of Parmesan to sprinkle over which helped. Would I return? Probably not.

We ordered our main courses and had a drink and then waited. And waited. Eventually the food arrived. It was a nice size portion, tasted good and was a good price but it took so much longer than I expected.The place is pleasant enough too but I would avoid breakfast - bland and cheap ingredients.

Good breakfast but the chef's special for the day was a bit disappointing - tatty scones and I didn't expect there to be a premium to pay for Eggs Benedict

Bar OK if you need something in a hurry. Not exactly full of atmosphere and a strong whiff of curry but other than that it's passable! Doesn't have any decent (proper ale) on tap.

We visited here for supper tonight and thought we just had to write a great review. Most pubs/restaurants in Fort William were full and we came across the The Imperial Hotel thinking it would be out of our price range but how wrong were we! The Hotel was immaculately presented and staff friendly. We ate in the bar. The food and drink was very reasonably priced and a good choice was on offer. A gorgeous meal was had by all, I was craving fresh vegetables and was not disappointed, My friend and I both ate the best cheese and broccoli pasta bake I've ever tasted and the new potatoes were amazing and cooked to perfection. We would definitely recommend this hotel.

Ate at the pizza place that's part of the restaurant. Food was so-so and service was slow. Limited menu.

Cucina pessima ma soprattutto vedere ubriachi a piedi nudi sui divani mentre mangi col cameriere che non dice nulla. ? Pessimo

I saw a sign outside which said they did a choice of curries for lunch - a choice of beef, lamb or chicken. The restaurant is on the left of the reception as you go in. Comfortable seating, plenty of space and wheelchair accessible.On reading the menu, EVERY dish said "Chicken *****'. No other options were offered. I don't eat chicken. I asked about this and was told you could choose what meat you wanted. As there was a limited choice of curries, I opted for lamb korma. It arrived in a large rimmed dish. The rice and sauce were very nice. However, the lamb was 75% lumps of fat. It was pretty shocking. I don't mean it was fatty lamb, or lamb with bits of fat on, it was just lumps of fat chucked in the sauce. It was pretty disgusting. Luckily (and not surprisingly), I was the only one in the restaurant. I took the lumps of fat out of my mouth and put them round the edge of the dish. The complete rim was filled with fat by the time I finished the sauce and rice.When I went to pay, as when I ordered my meal, the guy never took his eyes off his phone nor stopped texting. He asked if I enjoyed my food. I said that I was very surprised how much fat was in it, and showed him the rim full of fat on the dish. He just said "Lamb is fatty". I said that it wasn't fatty, just lumps of fat in the sauce. He shrugged his shoulders and carried on looking at his phone. I said that I came to Fort William to work, and was just trying somewhere new to eat. He then stopped looking at his phone and said he would knock a couple of quid off the bill. When he initially thought I was a tourist, he didn't care. Don't waste your money - there are some lovely places to eat in this town.

A real shame about this restaurant. Had one of the worst fish-n-chips ever. The ironic thing is the restaurant is on the seaside. Clearly they are not buying their fish locally.

I ordered the chicken Madras in the cozy lounge. Nice experience. The meat was plentiful and filling and of course…hot. If the Nan bread had been fresh and chef-cooked this would have been the meal of the visit to Scotland. What a difference a garlic and onion Nan would have made to the meal....shame...good but not great. Service was better than average but still could be a little better.

Good menu, service and food. A nice ambience, so what more could you ask for? Competitively priced so good value for money. Would have spent as much on the Pizza chains (had there been any) minus the ambience and quality. Would definitely return.

We called in here and took advantage of the steak and wine deal for £30 for two. Service is excellent and the food was very nice , oh and the wine was most palatable considering the price.

Pretty hopeless Pizzeria, or at least thats what the neon sign said outside. Pizzas were worse than the cheapest supermarket ones. Thats probably where they came from.Prices were average, and the sevice was friendly, decor was ok. But it should be avoided, we could have gone to the chip shop.

To put this review in perspective, I have never taken to the internet to write a negative review of anything. However, there is a first for everything and after eating in the Imperial Hotel Restaurant I feel compelled to warn people before they waste their money on probably the worst food you'll ever be served.The restaurant environment was fine, and the staff were pleasant. I have no complaints other than the food. As a party of two, we ordered one pizza and one Carbonara. Without exaggerating, I've had nicer microwave pizzas than the one I was served in the Imperial. I'm almost certain I was served a frozen pizza - it was tasteless, greasy and overwhelmingly disappointing. There's something very wrong about a restaurant with "Pizzeria" written above the door serving such a poor standard of pizza. As for the Carbonara, it was cold, had no flavour and there was no ham in it! It was just cold spaghetti with a dull creamy sauce. Having looked forward to a hot meal all day while climbing Nevis, it's hard to describe the disappointment when faced with such a poor standard of food. Please avoid.

ci siamo cascati ancora....ma di pessimo fish and chips non ne potevamo più. Avevamo in realtà scelto un ristorante di pesce, ma era pieno ed abbiamo deviato su questo ristorante dell'hotel best Western. I pochi tavoli occupati erano pieni di tedeschi, che avevano già finito la cena. Perciò siamo rimasti solo noi. Il mio amico ha voluto scegliere spaghetti, perchè ormai intasato dai fritti scozzesi, mentre io ho scelto salmone. La mia pietanza era standard, con uno strano odore del pesce e le verdure lessate, senza alcun sapore. la pasta è arrivata su un enorme piatto, guarnito con 4 grissini e saltata nella panna, pur trattandosi di sugo di molluschi.Ci avevano detto che il cuoco era italiano, perciò ci siamo permessi di pretendere che la pasta fosse al dente.....pretesa folle.Io penso che un cuoco debba cambiare lavoro, perchè porta discredito all'hotel ed alla cucina in genere.Infine la location, con i finestroni che affacciano sulla strada e la superstrada....che meraviglia!

Me and my wife we decide to book this place for staying and eating overnight on our Scottish trip. When we arrived the place look very nice, clean, very friendly but this until we've check in room no 3 what had a very very bad smell, a dirty bathroom and a none working TV. On the night time we decide to eat in their restaurant and we choose the Italian menu( what was the worse ever). I order the minestrone soup for starter what was just a tomato soup with peas and pasta, no other veg on it, and my wife had garlic mushroom( only 4 tiny ones). For mains I had pasta carbonara what was over cooked, very oily and very salty. My wife had chicken and olives rigatonne pasta , the chicken had a curry taste I think was used for their Indian menu and the pasta was very salty and all mushed.In all this time we never had a check back ,i , I try to complain to this girl who never spoke any english but nothing was sorted. After such a bad dinner we though the breakfast ( what was paid for) will be better until I find a piece of a metal scourer in my watered beans, I try to complain again but was the same girl from the dinner time. When we check out the girl on reception says if we want to complain to do it to the owner directly because she don't deal with this thinks. A waste of money and allot of disrespect .

We stopped off and decided on something in the bar. We chose 3 different types of pakora.None were that great, not sure if I'm spoiled by Glasgow Indian food but the pakora was really doughy.Service was very good and friendly though - perhaps we just chose the wrong item!

Don’t come here unless you are a hotel guest! We went to the empty restaurant for dinner at 17:45 only to be told that it’s only open for guests. There wasn’t anybody around.

The restaurant is overpriced massively. We ordered mussels for main (£20). No chips, no bread these were £5 extra each for tiny portions. The bread was three tiny slices of sourdough with oil and butter…. that you don’t need to mop up the mussel juice. People on the next table ordered sole. It came with no veg, no chips…. They had to get that whilst the fish was getting cold. Be warned, check the menu carefully everything is an extra, resulting in a huge bill.

Booked a table for 6 o’clock on a Saturday, booking was confirmed everything seemed okay. On Saturday noticed it said they were closed on Saturday so phoned up and were told they were closed.. we had not been informed and our special occasion was ruined as couldn’t get booked in anywhere else on such short notice. Very disappointed.

Beautiful food and wonderful staff, so attentive and polite. The owner, Mustafa, is especially generous, friendly, and welcoming. The mezze platter and seafood is what we always get and it has always impressed us!
