The hotel staff was lovely and helpful. We were smart enough to have made a dinner reservation before our arrival for our one night stay. Nice pubby dark wood décor and seating spread over a couple of rooms. Many tables occupied on our visit. Dinner menu Scottish leaning as to be expected. It was clear from the outset that they were low on staff with our (very young) server and water coming a good bit after seating. My partner was not real hungry this evening so chose to do a bowl of the soup the day-potato & leek. This came with a wonderful, fresh roll. The roll was pronounced fantastic. We have enjoyed many an excellent bread item in Scotland and this was another example here. They know what they're doing. The soup was very tasty but after a few spoonfulls, it became "boring". My choice was a Filet of Scottish Sea Trout (yes it is different from Salmon, Google it). Served with roasted new potatoes, braised leeks, herb crusted baby carrots, and smoked mussel butter sauce. The potatoes were perfectly cooked, as were the leeks. The carrots were interesting with the herb "crust", and the mussel sauce added an umami depth to the fish. Interestingly, the sauce included a few nicely cooked, out of the shell, mussels. A succulent addition. Loved every bite. For dessert, we chose a Cinnamon Apple Tart with Caramel Whipped Cream and Vanilla Ice Cream. All of this came together for a scrumptious finale to our meal. Especially the whipped cream. Perfect portion size also. Different planning could have put us here for a longer period of time and it would have been wonderful. If you are traveling in this area, try to either stay or eat here. You won't regret it. Highly recommended.

J had the fish and chips with a pint of the local brew and a dram of something (Talisker, I think). I had the cheeseburger with fries. I tried to order the cullen skink, but they were out of it. The cheeseburger was pretty good, though they toasted the cheese onto the bun instead of melting it on the burger (the American way to which I am accustomed). The portion of fish and chips was huge, and Jimmy seemed to think it was pretty good. All in all, a decent stop for warm food on a dreary day.

Not so at Isles Inn...a more casual environment with a separate bar/pub area and dining room. Reservations not taken, but there might be a wait to be seated. We went twice, actually on the same night...once for dinner (about a 20-minute wait for a table), and a second time back later for dessert, where we offered to eat our cranachan standing in the bar, but by the time it was ready, they offered us an available table back in the dining room. They're nice people here, and the food is good enough. They've got a vegan dish of the day. (I'm a vegetarian) On this night it was a smoky bean casserole...I opted for the vegetarian burger, which came with tomato relish, Monterey Jack cheese, chips (a.k.a. fries) and a salad. It was basic but filled me up. The vegan patty on the burger was a good "meaty" style patty a-la Beyond or Impossible. (As opposed to a black bean or grain-based vegetable patty.) The cheese kind of disappeared into the burger when cooked. The fries were really good! This place was packed both times we were there...the second time, musicians were setting up in the pub area. (Though we were finished before they started.) They used to have a fried halloumi cheese on the menu which would have been akin to a sort of vegetarian version of fish and chips. Emailed them in advance and they said the chef would have been willing to make it for me if I'd wanted it. (Again I'm a vegetarian but the fish and chips I saw at another table looked really good.)

It was a challenge for me since my night vision is not as great as it was when I was 20. The restaurant has a real Scottish vibe to it. There was a large group at the bar and nearly every table was taken by diners. Our waitress was very good and provided excellent service. I had a glass of beer and my wife had a glass of wine. It was raining but the view of the lake at dusk was quite nice, We both ordered the smoked haddock lasagna from the specials menu. Our food arrived in about 15 minutes and included a small salad and two pieces of bread. I though my meal was excellent. It came hot and you could really taste the smoked haddock. My wife thought it had excellent flavor but would have liked more haddock. Still, she said the taste was very good. We hurried out because I was very concerned about negotiating the single track road and narrow bridges at night in the rain. We took it easy and made it back with no issues.

The chef is a young man and I saw him coming out of the the busy kitchen a couple times to take a break. He shook my hand when he asked what Whisky I was drinking and I told him a Gelnfidditch 18. The two problems with the restaurant were they had the heat turned on very high, it was uncomfortably hot and I would honestly rather have been cold. The other problem was they were very short staffed so the meal started out great but our server was invisible toward the end and we sat around for 20 minutes trying to see him so we could leave.
