Reviews in Scotland

We visited the Ravelston yesterday for a family meal as it was my husband's birthday. The food and service was excellent. Couldn't fault a thing. Will certainly be back.

Very poor starter of belly pork , mediocre main of beef and very poor dessert hugely overpriced food, poor service, paper napkins , missing cutlery and playing to tourists , sad experience

Four of went for dinner and enjoyed great food - possibly the best in Orkney? The service. without being intrusive. was attentive and friendly and the overall atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Not cheap but a really excellent and memorable meal.

We all really enjoyed our dinner last night, I thought the cod was delicious. Service was great, staff were lovely and attentive. The quality of the food really was impressive. Would definitely return

Ce restaurant était extra. Un très joli cadre, un super service et une cuisine excellente. Je recommande vivement.

After a short wait for our table due to some double booking issues we had an excellent meal at The Hamnavoe. We had scallops and tempura, vegetables, for starters, followed by lobster and beef mains. Everything we ordered was delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. The staff were friendly and attentive. The dining room was cosy but quite noisy, but we didn’t mind that. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to eat out in Stromness and we hope to return someday soon.

Food was excellent Service was excellent staff are all lovely Used the car park - back of your building is a real off put - Your disabled access is also terrible - not working sit on stair lift - not sure we will be back because of this - which is a shame

One of my new favourite places to eat. The High Tea is value for money. Steak pie is cooked to perfection and tastes so good! Scones and cakes are delicious. Staff are also great and cater to every need. Would highly recommend!

Food and service was fantastic. Will definitely be back.

My wife and I had the 2 course Sunday roast. I had the haggis bites to start and we both had the roast beef. My wife also had Sticky Toffee Pudding as a dessert. Excellent value and the service was 2nd to none. Thanks

Both the food and service were the best we have had at a restaurant for a long time. Would definitely recommend and will go back when we are next in Orkney.

Lovely meal pre theatre. Attentive staff and the food was excellent

Great food and service.

We booked for breakfast with friends- young girl with blonde hair who served us was very friendly and bubbly. Didn’t feel rushed and breakfast was lovely. Tasted fresh. We will definitely come again.

My chosen dishes were sensational, every morsel bursting with flavour but never overwhelming, sublime. How wonderful for Orkney to have a restaurant that can showcase the local seafood and farm produce with such brilliance. Thank you.

An amazing meal, beautifully cooked and deep flavours. We ordered the Trout and Langoustine for starters. Both perfectly cooked and the broth that came with each was so beautifully complex. The Cod and the Beef were outstanding again for their cookery. The Cod was wonderfully delicate and flaky to perfection, the sauce with the beef was so rich and deep I could have had a cup of this on its own. The sweets of Strawberries on shortbread was so light, and the chocolate tort was so rich. Perfect end to a great meal. The service was very good with care and attention to our needs. Overall a perfect experience for us.

Lovely service, lovely food, pleasant surroundings. You come here for the food for sure. Local produce with an Asian leaning - fresh and beautifully cooked. We had scallops and tempura prawns to start followed by the lobster and ravioli for mains with one chocolate tart and coffee for sweet. The food was really excellent, portion size perfect, service cadence spot on and the service pleasant and attentive without being overbearing. Wonderful.
