Reviews in Scotland

The food was fantastic and the location is outstanding. We met our overseas friends there for dinner and they loved it too. Very Scottish feel and look with lots of history.

We have now visited this restaurant twice in the last month and have found that, as with our previous visit, the food and wine was excellent. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the whole atmosphere was very welcoming. The decor changes that have been made by the new management have also brightened up the restaurant, given it a lift, and set a very pleasant tone. I continue to recommend this restaurant for those seeking a special experience with regards to both food and wine.

Disappointing second visit. Sat for 20mins before any service. Had to go to bar to ask for drinks Table service slow and food service poor with meals delivered in stages so food getting cold waiting on sides and some mains. Food on while good but sides eg chips poor quality.

This was our first visit and will not be our last. The food and service was excellent, we could not fault anything. The atmosphere was perfect for a meal and catch up with friends pleasant background music.

This was a very special meal in a lovely atmosphere. The staff could not have been more attentive and helpful. Again the food was superb.

Fantastic meal. Very attentive staff. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back

we had a table booked at 1:30. there was a funeral and a wedding on at the same time friday 25th nov we were seated at the bar which was was busy at the time. we waited 25 minutes and got no service in that time, spoke to the barmen and told him we were leaving, very disappointed with the service.

We had an excellent time at Ravelston. Service was nice food tasty, lots of food envy. Having a space our selves meant we sisnt worry about our hilarious conversations. A great time

Every time we visit Stirling we have a meal in this hotel, highly recommend, food, service, staff and atmosphere all first class.

We had a wonderful meal in a cosy atmosphere on a cold winters day. Everything was delicious ! Great value for money and altogether memorable!

Had lovely Sunday roasts and excellent service from the very attentive staff. Would definitely recommend.

Had our dinner last night, been a few times now when visiting the city. Food is excellent and very reasonably priced and the cocktails are delicious. Would definitely recommend. Staff are friendly and courteous.

Fantastic food, friendly staff, highly recommended.

The food was good. Was disappointed with the waiting times for clearing plates and the next course. Limited choice of soft drinks (2). Would like to have seen a choice of non alcoholic drinks, maybe a beer or cider. Found the staff friendly and as I said the food was good when we got it. The restaurant was quite cold, we were sat at the door to the kitchen which was quite annoying with people going to the toilet and staff going back and forth.

Exceptional standard of food. Every part of every dish was imaginative, full of exciting flavours and totally delicious. My meat loving husband adored the vegetables and other accompaniments. Best dinner out ever. Can’t wait to go back. Thank you.

A fabulous pre theatre meal. Always a warm welcome here on arrival and attentive waiters. The menu is perfect, we had an 8 year old with us and she loved the food too. I had a Bang Bang chicken burger, it was delicious. Reasonable prices too. Highly recommended

Friday lunch with friends for my birthday. We go there a lot and the food never disappoints and is great value for money. They were very short staffed but the staff who were there worked their socks off to keep things running as smoothly as possible.. Only little negative point was it was a miserable cold wet day outside and the restaurant was cold.

Every aspect of The Hamnavoe is fantastic. The staff are very welcoming, attentive and helpful without being intrusive. The menu combines local food with very interesting flavours, we found it hard to decide. The food is presented elegantly on beautiful tableware. I mentioned in my booking that we were coming to celebrate a birthday and this wasn't forgotten by the staff which was an extra special touch. We will definitely be back and look forward to introducing friends to The Hamnavoe.
