The restaurant hall is very warm and annoyingly stuffy The food tastes less than normal, and the prices are very high The view is beautiful, but I could not find a reservation during the day, so they made my reservation at 8 o’clock when the sun had set, and I did not enjoy the experience at all.

The view is unbeatable, the service impeccable and the food? My favorite meal between Scotland to Iceland. Oh and so vegan friendly, if we ever make our way back it would be worth the 5 hr drive to Skye to eat here again

Just loved The View for our first night's dinner (of two) in Portree. Firstly, the view was truly amazing ! You could also enjoy drinks on the lawn and enjoy the view at the same time. The service and ambience was fitting with the first class establishment it is and the quality of the food both met and exceeded expectations. Wait staff were holding up the highest standards and The View did not disappoint. 10+/10 !

The view was lovely. The food was fine. Nothing amazing but perfectly okay. And our server was warm and friendly albeit a bit disconnected from our experience (like we had to point out that drinks hadn’t come - and hubby stole cutlery from the nearby table so I could eat the main course). But the vibe in this place is disconcerting. Firstly… the lights are bright like in a cafeteria and they never seem to dim. Secondly… it was hotter than a Caribbean beach. And most oddly… it felt impossible to get drinks. Took us about 15 minutes to get hubby a beer and me a glass of wine. Second round required deliberately asking - twice - then reminding the server. Again. The view is nice. But it’s quite a trek up to this place and it felt like we were eating in an expensive version of the cafeteria at a senior home.

The View lived up to its name. We felt like we were in Hawaii looking at the beautiful vista overlooking the bay with flowers and gardens all around us. And the view from inside the restaurant was just as nice from our table. The staff was very professional and the food was excellent. Our favorite part was the sticky toffee pudding. The best we had in all of our travels around the UK. Warm and rich as it should be. When you want a special night out in Portree, go here but make sure you make a reservation.

5 Stars - Bookings available online, dinners were booked out a week in advance but we got a reservation same day for lunch. The grilled Hake was one of my favorite dishes of the entire trip. Price was 30 pounds per person for a 3 course lunch. The views were incredible.

Had a reservation for 2:30. Arrived 15 minutes late because we got delayed on the trails in the morning. Called ahead and was told we would be seated if we arrived within 15 minutes. Arrived on time and was told the kitchen closes at 2:30. They said they tried to call us but neither of us had any missed calls. Disappointed.

Excellent experience, our best lunch of the whole week in Scotland. In addition to the magnificent view and the serenity of the place compared to the flow of tourists from the center of Portree (we are only 10 minutes away on foot), the service is friendly and the food excellent. The menu is limited (3 starters / 3 main courses including 1 vegetarian / 3 desserts), seems to change every week and is perfectly executed. All for a very reasonable price (£30 for a 3-course menu). Really worth doing!

This restaurant could not be more aptly named 😍! We were lucky enough to have a later booking and got a table for two by the window. We dined overlooking a beautiful garden, the sea, and the banks of Portree. The inside of the restaurant is stunning as well. To get to the dining area, you walk passed a foyer with large leather couches and a stoked fire, an elegant and well-stocked bar with a variety of taps, and floor to ceiling picture windows that face the sea. The trio of artisanal breads and dips for two was a delicious way to start, and the wilted greens with pappardelle in a white sauce and chicken supreme as a main were a lovely way to finish. Thanks for a great time 🥂🌊⛵🦞🦑

A great moment of gastronomy with a superb view. We enjoyed the prepared crab and brioche, then a fish and venison dish. The Scottish cheese plate was also very good although the biscuits are no substitute for a piece of bread. The brownie was rated very good too. We highly recommend even if the prices are not given.

First of all- get the Trout entree. One of the best main dishes I’ve had. To the point, and every bite was amazing. I saw some reviewers saying portions were small, I left stuffed. It was so good though I felt like I wanted more. We got a few starters because they looked good, and they were. We also got the toffee pudding and s’mores brownie dessert- both very yummy. Had walked in expecting nothing because it was simply a convenient place to eat for us, and left very happy. Get a couple starters- get the trout- and enjoy a very good meal.

Posh restaurant with a beautiful view of the harbor. Service was prompt and attentive. Food was delicious! Favorites included the asparagus appetizer, loin of venison, ocean trout and the s’mores dessert. The highland old fashioned was the best cocktail I’ve had in Scotland to date.

I have no idea how this restaurant isn’t higher rated, it is the best dining experience in Portree. The view from your dining table is simply one the best views you will have in your life. We expected this place was all about the view, and the food perhaps wasn’t great. We were wrong, my wife’s lemon pasta was outstanding. The beef dish was pretty good as well. Sticky Toffee, Yes please. The restaurant, like every restaurant in the world right now, seems a little understaffed, but the waitstaff worked hard and turned out a very good service product. It’s fairly priced for what you get.

We came in to celebrate a birthday, but unfortunately the restaurant either missed the memo or they don’t usually do anything for celebrations. We tried a number of cocktails as well, but most of them were a lot on the sour side (not very well balanced imo). The food and view were amazing though. I would go back just for the chicken and the view at sunset, but definitely not for celebrations.

Our group of three really enjoyed the food and wine options here during a recent dinner. Views around the property are very nice. Service left much to be desired and is not commensurate with a 5-star hotel. A bit pretentious, impersonable and unresponsive. Perhaps guests of the hotel get better treatment so I’d only recommend a meal here if you are staying - otherwise there are better alternatives that are equally nice and delicious in town.

This restaurant is in an amazing location with a stunning view of Portree. We made a reservation around sunset & the sights were breathtaking. We enjoyed our meals however service was a little slow. They seemed to be understaffed as our server had what looked to be all of the tables in our section & we didn't see him very often. Service was not bad however for the price of the meal, we would have preferred to be checked on for drink refills, etc. We had to ask for our check more than once before we got it & were able to pay. We truly believe this service experience was likely a one-off as the hotel & restaurant appear to be very high quality.

Our first dish arrived nicely on time, one was warm the other one was cold, then we had to wait for 1 hour to get our second dish, the Yorkshire pudding was slightly burnt, the meat was very nice but the veggies were bad, with almost no gravy. We had to wait another 30 minutes to get our dessert, it was quite nice but at that stage, we just wanted to leave! 2 hours in a restaurant not because we wanted but because the service was badly organised.

I want to give The View 5 stars. The atmosphere and amazing view right away set the tone for a beautiful spot. We were staying at the hotel attached and ended up eating here on two separate occasions. Both times the food was very good, however you could tell that there was a slight drop in quality on the second evening. I expect that consistency across chefs may not be there yet. Additionally, the service although very kind folks can be pretty slow and inattentive. Be prepared to wait a bit for menu items or requests. If you can get over that part, the view and food quality are writhing your time. Had the Sticky Toffee Pudding on our last night in Portree - one of the best things I have ever eaten.

Couldn't see the view because it was dark by the time we got here, but I'm sure it was great. The ambiance was nice, but everything else did not meet expectations. The server was friendly enough, I suppose. But the food was truly terrible. The lamb neck appetizer tasted alright, but it failed to delight. The special for the day was a ribeye steak which was served with a mushy tomato, two measly pieces of broccoli, and soggy homemade potato fries. The steak itself was good sized and adequate, no more no less. The salmon from the regular menu was topped with a toe sized deep fried roll of crab that completely ruined the taste of the crab meat. It was also topped with caviar that was sour and pasty. The salmon was simply pan fried, which would have been fine if it wasn't drowned in a tangy, saucy soup that contradicted the flavor of the salmon and amplified the bad taste of the caviar and the pointlessly deep fried crab roll. Prices were equally disappointing and disproportionate to the quality of the food. The majority of good reviews, upon closer look, were from about 2 years ago.

My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary tonight and were really excited about dinner at The View. Overall I’d say the location was beautiful, however our tomato appetizer salad had mold on the tomato. We let the server know, who was apologetic (he mentioned it was the new chefs first night) and said the manager would be out to speak to us, however no one turned up to apologize or speak to us. They did end up taking the appetizer off the bill, but it really did spoil our evening, and the lack of customer service was really disappointing. The drinks were great, and as mentioned the location was beautiful but at a restaurant like this (which is fine dining prices) we had expected better service for a moldy tomato salad

Pésimo servicio de atención al cliente y peor calidad de la comida. Pedimos el pez turbot, el plato más caro entre los platos principales que resultó insignificante (sólo habían espinas), acompañado de una salsa demasiado picante que destruye la armonía del sabor. No es algo que te esperas considerando que se trata de un restaurante que pertenece a un hotel de 4 esrrellas, y el precio elevado. Lo único bueno son las vistas, pero no merecen la pena por la experiencia gastronómica.

Everything was dismal, from service to food. The portions were really small compared to the price we paid and they were not so good either. The venison was stringy and we had to throw away half of the turbot because it was full of bones. The service was very slow and the staff was unfriendly and unattentive, we waited a lot of time to be served and the restaurant was only half full. They were quick to bring us the check though. This is not the kind of service and quality you expect from a restaurant in a 4 star hotel. The location and the view are nice but it is not enough, there are definitely better places in Portree.

The view is astonishing and the staff is quite friendly. The fish and chips are so amazing, the batter is super chirpy but not oily. The tartar sauces seems home made, it’s very tasty. There are some local beers in the restaurant. Last but not least, there is vegetarian options which is really good in Portree, because there are not many vegetarian options in Portree

A éviter - belle vue mais piège à touriste Nous avons pris du turbo pour changer du fisch & chips 30€ l’assiette une tranche d’un centimètre env 50g dans une assiette de soupe et le reste tout a fait moyen Réponse du responsable le prix ont augmentés donc le chef a à réduit les portions .. Je ne sais pas comment ils ont pu être au Michelin ..? Ne faites pas attention aux photos pas de langoustines pas de crabe.

I just wanted to start by saying that the food tasted great and the view was beautiful. However, we did run into some service/communication issues. It started when I first found a fly in my food; we were told the manager would come discuss this with us, however that never happened. We also had an issue with our dessert, but once again never got the chance to discuss it. My boyfriend and I are both students at Uni so going to a nice restaurant such as this was a big deal for us and a celebration for my birthday. However, we were disappointed in the fact that we saved up for such a big meal to not be taken seriously when trying to report an issue in the nicest way possible (I have worked in the food industry before so I am usually very understanding with mishaps). After paying the bill in it’s entirety, we once again tried to communicate that the issue was never resolved, but was once again got brushed off. While we both understand that accidents happen, it wasn’t the fly in the food that bothered us, but rather the way it was handled. It was a upsetting to pay for such an expensive dish that contained a bug on a special occasion with no attempt of reconciliation.

We had a reservation months in advance for lunch and the morning of our reservation we arrived at the restaurant and were told due to a kitchen malfunction everything was cancelled. While I understand they can’t control a malfunction, there was no apology or offer to find another booking in Portree. Everywhere was booked and we simply had to leave after driving hours to arrive.

Overall a very good dining experience. The braised pork starter was very nicely cooked and presented well. Venison and Steak mains were all technically good but not mind blowing. All items were correctly executed and cooked although I wish the dishes were a bit more aggressive in seasoning or ingenuity as they were all a bit tame in regard to flavor. No actual complaints or errors on the entrees but nothing to rave about. Luckily the sticky toffee pudding was fantastic and was the best one we had throughout our two week UK trip. Service was very very good and Ross(bartender) was amazing. 5 Star review is mainly due to service, dessert, and bartender as opposed to amazing food.

What you pay for is the view out onto the water which to be fair is pretty deluxe. So I would say it’s probably worth it. The coffee was good too. However, the food was below average and overpriced for what it was. We ordered the sticky sweet chilli chicken wings which were not marinated - rather unseasoned chicken wings put into this sauce. Any chef knows this isn’t how you cook. We also got the burger and the beef brisket sandwich. The beef sandwich was the worst thing I have ever seen. It wasn’t brisket let alone edible beef. It was also in basic brown bread. So if you want good food, don’t go here. If you want coffee and a great view, yes I would recommend.

Yes, this is a bit pricey, but portions and quality are reasonable for what you pay. The mussels were fresh, tender, and flavorful; we each got a heaping plateful for our starters. The scallops were easily the best I've ever had. They literally melted in my mouth and were cooked perfectly in a rich and savory dish. Every bite was an experience! I didn't know scallops could be this good! Only removed a star because they took a long time to get our order and our check. The staff seemed tired and understaffed. We were glad not to have to queue, though, and overall were glad we got to try it here.

Great service and superb food. Very friendly and always helpful. Usually come with a group of us and sit in with large tables to accommodate. Very clean inside and out. Great selection of sweet treats and some snack too. Highly recommend

Dropped in for an early dinner and we were blown away by the incredible flavours of even simple things like freshly prepared dips for the poppadoms and marinated onions to go wild. Our main courses, Pallak and Balti chicken were perfect. With all of this came an extremely friendly service. We really wish we could come here more often.

The building needs renovation. It is also for sale... The room is spacious but could do with a lick of paint. The bathroom has mold stains on the ceiling. The bed is an instrument of torture! Back pain guaranteed!
