Wee Isle Cafe in Argyll & Bute

When open (it has now closed permanently); it was a great wee eating house! We went there often. It will be sadly missed, used by many locals, tourists and organisations as an affordable restaurant.

Great service, great beer and a really good atmosphere

On Friday, March 14th, at noon, I had an exceptionally terrible experience at this restaurant. There were three of us, and we ordered dressed crab, a seafood platter, and seafood penne as our main courses, along with a large portion of mussels as a starter. To begin with, the main courses were served before the starter without our consent. But what was truly unacceptable was the quality of the seafood. Many of the mussels were not fresh, with a bitter taste or a strong unpleasant odor, making the large plate of mussels practically inedible. Similarly, the seafood platter I ordered also contained the same poor-quality mussels. On top of that, my platter included three langoustines, two of which were extremely unfresh—the heads had turned visibly black, as shown clearly in the pictures I provided, and the meat was incredibly loose, completely lacking the firmness of fresh shellfish. The oysters were very small, and the crab claws were also tiny, though fortunately, these two items were relatively fresher compared to the rest. Due to the poor quality of the seafood, we were unable to finish any of our dishes, especially the large portion of mussels, which remained almost untouched, as mentioned earlier. When I finally requested the bill, the rude waitress showed no concern whatsoever and, without asking, took away the barely touched plate of mussels. All of this happened during a non-busy period, and we were, in fact, the first customers of the day at this restaurant. When the waitress came over with the bill, I attempted to provide feedback regarding the terrible experience caused by the unfresh seafood, but the rude blonde waitress gave me no chance at all. She simply tossed—yes, tossed, not placed—the bill towards me and, before I even had the chance to look at it, immediately handed me the card machine for payment. I want to emphasize once again that all of this occurred during a non-busy period, and we were the restaurant’s first customers of the day. Ultimately, given such a dreadful experience, I did not bother to express my dissatisfaction to the staff on the spot, as it was obvious they simply did not care. Later that evening, two out of the three of us experienced varying degrees of diarrhea and discomfort. Since we had not eaten anything else after this meal, I believe this is solid proof of the restaurant’s lack of fresh seafood—or perhaps, just the lack of fresh seafood served to us.
