    It's fully booked Friday night! We saw many people trying to ask for a table but being turned…read moreaway. Please book ahead and stop asking the waitress if they have a table while holding the door open - it was a cold and blustery summer evening and she didn't have time for those who can't read the sign which already said "Sorry the restaurant is full tonight!" There is just one waitress and I only saw 2 people working in the kitchen. It would take a while before she could come over to take the order and a while longer for the food to come. We both ordered the squat lobster as starters. It was similar to the crawfish tails but the meat was more tender and sweet. I ordered entree sized scallops that comes with a salad with crispy lardons and purée - they are only available as an appetizer on the menu but the waitress allowed me doubling the size as an entree. The scallops were so sweet and cooked to perfect perfection. It came with butternut squash puree (wished there was more) and crispy lardon, cubed butternut squash and capers salad - wished there were more betterment cubes and less capers as the later made it too salty). Wished I could gave them 4.5 starts! This is the quintessential Skye experience we aimed for! A small local restaurant with locally sourced seafood!

    High-end restaurant as part of the hotel Cuillin Hill outside Portree on Isle of Skye. Delicious…read morefood, excellent presentation. Nice view even on a rainy day. Service not the best (for such a top establishment). Not attentive. Even worse, no apologies when there was plastic in the dish! That is a major fail to be honest. Waiter said he'd talk to kitchen and never came back. When the bill came we had to tell this different waiter about the whole episode. Again no apology but when she came back with a revised bill she quietly took the charge off (so that dish was free). Fine but why such bad handling of this whole incident?

    Wow! This is as simply one of the best meals we have had in a very long time! The view, no pun…read moreintended is outstanding, and the service is just as wonderful, but the food! Emma was our server and was warm; delightful and very helpful with my gluten allergy; and Rebecca, the manager, was lovely, and helped us earlier in the day to arrange transport from Sconser. For the meal .... Well! We started with the crab, which was flavorful and very fresh. My husband saw the table next to us served the Curried Cauliflower soup, and had to try it. Super!! The entrees were exceptional; I had a lovely, thick piece of cod, with a beautiful butter and lemon sauce with grape tomatoes, and they subbed out a stacked potato dish, due to my gluten allergy, and it was delicious. My husband had the scallops with pork belly, and while both were fantastic, the pork belly was truly amazing. We also had a side of the seasonal vegetables, which were crisp and very fresh. If you are on Skye, don't miss The View!

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.

    Small menu covers good ground in terms of the dietary spectrum, and the service is very friendly…read moreand reasonably quick for a cook-to-order operation with only one person manning the truck :) I had the veggie haggis on a roll, which was delicious, although I must confess to not knowing anything about what real haggis would taste like. My husband is in the same boat on not having tried the traditional haggis, but also liked the veggie haggis. The veggie haggis is vegetarian and, if the butter sauce is omitted, it appears that it can be made vegan (butter sauce is egg-free). The porridge appears to be vegan by default, and the soup of the day for today sounded like it was also vegan or at least vegetarian (vegetables and coconut). The burgers and rolls are meant to be eaten there, and are handed to you partially wrapped in a napkin and a small paper bag that you could open and put the burger in if you needed to transport it, but it is just paper and the grease/oil would eventually make it's way through. They have wooden disposable utensils as well. Great food truck, and a nice place to stop for a view and a bite :) Thank you for having vegetarian options!

Local mussels, fresh…read morecaught sole and isle greens for salad are just a few highlights that ensure the presence of the place here. A focus on using ingredients within a small radius and delectable preparations make this a hidden gem in the town of Portree. The team who works here is absolutely incredible. When talking about working hard, this is the definition of it. Hopefully some of the staffing challenges they currently face get addressed to provide more consistent service for guests and a less hectic experience for the crew. So, book early, get the trout porridge, the delectable focaccia, some Pommes Anna and fill in the rest with freshest seafood. Happiness will undoubtedly persist from there.

From the exceptionally perfect service to the beautiful location to the world class tasting menu - it hits it out of the park. These dishes don't just look good, they taste amazing as well and each bite makes you want to try more. They are also VERY accommodating to requests - it's a seafood heavy menu but my dining partner doesn't eat Seafood and they were willing to swap things around with notice. That just doesn't happen in most high end tasting menu environments.
