Been to the ravelstone quite a few times and never disappointed food is always amazing and staff are always welcoming and friendly definitely would be back.

Menu choices were good, and was great to see a separate vegan menu. However service was poor. Watched our drinks sitting on the bar for 10 minutes, in the end I went and collected them myself. Ordered beer battered fish and chips, fish was very greasy and only a handful of chips. Also ordered the vegan risotto and the risotto rice was still hard at bits. Followed with a cheese board, which came with small section of sliced apple, branston pickle and the worst standard cheese selection, wasn’t worth £9. Overall not great and won’t be back.

Best meal we had of our holiday. A bit stingy with only 2 scallops for a starter but they were very tasty. Everything we had was delicious and the service was great. Couldn’t fault it really.

Excellent food with interesting flavours from Asia

Excellent monk fish, lobster not quite axx so good. Lovely atmosphere

This was a special meal for us, celebrating our dear friends' Golden Wedding Anniversary. The food was delicious, the young staff were friendly, efficient and professional and the atmosphere relaxed, discreet and warmly welcoming.

This was our third time to the Hamnavoe since it has reopened. To say it's a breath of fresh air, restaurant wise, for Stromness (even Orkney) would be an understatement. The atmosphere is intimate and friendly, however, the most exciting experience is the food. From scallops, lobster, beef to vegetarian, every mouthful is an explosion of flavours. Highly recommend the Hamnavoe, can't wait to go again.

Excellent meal and service. Strong recommendation.

Local seafood with an eastern twist. Exquisite food and service. I'll definitely be back!

Had a wonderful lunch here. Food was appetising could find no fault. When it arrived everything was hot (except for our lovely sweet). The lady that served our table couldn’t be more helpful. I’ve always found that the staff at the Ravelston are exceptional.

Came for lunch for my birthday food was absalotely lovely, chicken Balmoral, chicken burger and chicken pie were ordered and everyone enjoyed the meal will be back soon hopefully,

Booked here for a meal before going to the Kings theatre as its just round the corner and can’t complain! Staff were extremely friendly and attentive without being overbearing and the food was lovely and service was quick. Would highly recommend!

Hands down favourite! Delightful little restaurant tucked away on a side street of Stromness. The food is thoughtfully prepared with incredible ingredients much of which is locally sourced. Gorgeous in every way! Couldn’t recommend it more.

Excellent food atmosphere and service. A must do meal when visiting Orkney

If you want the highest quality local food prepared with flair to an international standard, then this is the place. A cosy space where the food is the focus of the attention. Friendly staff round off the experience. Very highly recommended indeed.

Excellent on all fronts. The food was outstanding, beautifully cooked and presented and tasted amazing. Fresh local produce with a Korean influence was fabulous. Party of 4 tried range of dished each delicious and backed up by excellent front of house service. Highly recommend.

Excellent food using local produce in unique way. Starting w lovely homemade bread. Great scallops and fab lobster and yum cod. Sadly too full for dessert! Will come back.

Had a fab meal for 4 last night at the half price Wednesday. We all had starters of the grilled prawns with mango and cucumber and it was delicious . Our main meals were the haddock , curry, sea bass and steak pie and the meals were excellent . There’s always room for a pudding so asked if they did an ice cream sundae and it did not disappoint! A three course meal with a drink each cost us £22.00. Love the Ravelston !
