Reviews in Scotland

Catch up with old friend at Golden Lion The dinning room is nicely decorated and the three of us enjoyed our meals , which were very tasty and well presented. The staff were all very friendly and attentive . Would recommend .

I too am a local resident and cannot praise the restaurant highly enough. All of the categories below deserve the highest marking. The main dish of Ox cheek was absolutely sumptuous. We are very lucky to have such a fine dining experience a short walk away. Very friendly service. The chef and owner even brought our main course to the table. Wish them every success for the forthcoming season.

Had a meal on Sat night , 4 adults. The food was amazing, best steak I’ve tasted in Glasgow for years . Great staff and great service.

excellent venue for all the family and the meals are just perfection.

A perfect dining experience in every way. Superb service, lovely atmosphere and the most wonderful food. All of us enjoyed it very much. As local residents, we are most fortunate to have such a high quality restaurant so near. We wish you a very successful season this year. Thank you.

Everything went accordingly to plan, the table was ready when we arrived and service was good. Would definitely recommend.

Great food damn fine girls I'd tap on the barmaid , one damn fine looking lassy, Good pub meals, good price alcohol, my husband and I named lion Maccormac come here all the time.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal on March 20 th. Food was really tasty and staff very attentive to all our various enquiries and needs. Will definitely visit again. Thank you.

Small but interesting menu (changes regularly) with tasty selections very well cooked and presented. Service is attentive without being obtrusive. Decent wine list but might consider adding a few cocktails to the drinks menu.

Booked a family lunch for Mum's Birthday, No complaints we all enjoyed our food along with very friendly service . We be back again soon.

Girls catch up and high tea. Food and service for our high tea was great. Lovely waitress with a sense of humour. Wish we’d got her name as she was fab! Bar staff later seemed to be new. Lovely setting. Will definitely be back

Outstanding dining experience. Warm welcome, excellent service throughout and the food was exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed our birthday treat and will definitely have a return visit.

We stayed and ate at the Golden Lion and it was fantastic! Klara who was our waitress was very professional & very bubbly! Food was boiling, yummy & the cheesecake (toffee & biscoff) was to die for! Thank you again! Restaurant was beautifully decorated!

Very pleasant afternoon tea on Mother’s Day 19 March 2023

As always the Food was really delicious yesterday. I had the roast beef and it was so tender. Highly recommend the Biscoff cheesecake too! Even though it was busy staff were attentive and friendly.

Thank goodness for this restaurant in Stromness. High quality food in a very friendly atmosphere with very attentive staff. Each dish is delicious and the attention to detail on the plate is first class.

Absolutely amazing! The place is beautiful and staff are super friendly and the food is delicious. I love that you get a lot of food as well for the price. They also catered for my unusual request of plate size. I am definitely going back.

I will start with a positive, the interaction with the staff was good, they were attentive and very pleasant. The order was very simple, the haggis bon bon's were warm at best by the time my plate arrived at the table and my medium rare steak was well done. It was not worth complaining about at the time as it was edible if not what I ordered. What was a concern was the fact that staff pulled a black wheelie bin through the restaurant while I was eating my dinner which cannot be hygienic and look's totally unprofessional.
