    Drinks to start
    Harry B.

    Not sure yet. We are waiting on a table on a Sunday in Stornoway. They put us in the bar and the drinks and drink menu is great. Whiskey wine, beer, coffee. But short staffed so service though good in the bar it is a little slow. The waitresses were super nice So.... Drinks great 5 star Service 5 star. Super nice and worked through the short staff. Food was good. 4 star. The mussels were good but not sure how clean. Broth bread and quality good. Main was a pork belly that wasn't bad. Seemed a bit over cooked and maybe a little different cut than I'm used to in the states. The mash and cabbage were really good. Ordered some biscoff Sunday for dessert. Was very tasty.

    The Boatshed is associated with the Royal Hotel, and we had an awesome meal there. We called for reservation, and took the last spot available that day, so it's wise to plan ahead.

    I have to admit that I was prepared to not enjoy this place because of the réception and exterior appearance, but it proved me oh, so wrong! The dining room and bar is a bit like a Scottish and French kitchen combined. They have an extensive wine and beverage list for starters. Their menu is not that extensive but it is lovely.You can get a starter and a main dish for 22 pounds. Or you can get a main dish and a dessert for 22 pounds.There are other alternatives available like steak and what not. My husband and I went with the 22 pound 2 course meal. We got the biscoff dessert afterwards and shared. The pork belly was succulent and tender, Cabbage was delicious and the potatoes were just right. It was served with an au jus and an apple compote. Lovely! The dessert was awesome! Plenty to share and a caramel cookie delight! The service was fantastic.There's a young woman here that was very bubbly and sweet and took care of us very well. You would do well to pop in for a beverage or bite. I'm so glad we did! Now, off to the Lewis castle!

    Make a reservation and get in here. The staff are super hard working and good at what they do. And the food is top notch! We enjoyed everything we ordered. The starter Bombay Aloo Bakta had a great flavor profile - wonderful blend of spicy with the peanut and coconut. And the ravioli is surprisingly authentic given the location. The steak is good but it's a sirloin cut and comes with a gravy. So make your own conclusions if you're into steak. But it was cooked as specified and flavorful. We enjoyed the dessert and definitely recommend giving this place a go.

    Outstanding food and warm ambiance. With a cruise ship in town, the service was slow but they were very polite.
