Don't waste your time. Not worth waiting around for (actually, it wouldn't be worth it if we'd been…read moreseated immediately). Poorly executed food and a clueless server had us just ready to get out the door by the time we were done. They do not take reservations, so we waited about an hour for what looked to be an attractive place with appealing dishes. Not so. Things started off ok with baked Camembert, as well as steamed mussels. Not bad. The main courses though were disastrous. A venison burger that was so dry it was hardly edible. Venison is of course very lean, and Caroy House did nothing to try to juice it up or preserve flavor. Just a very generous, double patty portion of super dry venison. The regular beef burger was about the same - very overcooked and without flavor. I had the flatiron steak, and it came with loads of mushrooms, sauce, salad and fries. I ordered the steak medium and it came out almost rare. I rarely (har har) send food back, but this was way under the desired temperature. The worst part was trying to get our waitress' attention, her waving us off (when we finally did get it), forgetting things, and then acting as if she hadn't really missed getting us what we needed. Plus an oh-so-long wait for everything. Poor service, poor execution. Bad food. Like I said, don't wait for it.

The food and flavors are from the Highlands and Skye and I loved their placement, its a map of Skye and some of the food produced in that region. 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. Haggis + Paneer Pakora: Great Haggis fusion dish, felt traditional and yet paid homage to some of the new cultures that make up the UK. Slow Braised Lamb Shank: Rosemary Infused Mashed Potato and Roasted Root Vegetable. Very tender and delicious, our whole family shared this even though it started off as just my wifes dinner. Sole Veronique: Potatoes, spinach, and a cream sauce. Tasted OK but I thought the sauce was too heavy for the light fish it was on. If you go across the street from the restaurant and look down you can see the iconic row of different colored houses that a lot of people were taking pictures of.

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.

Besides the usual suspects, I found some great small-scale specialty bottlings here. I purchased two 200ml bottles, one Arran and one Lochingar, but the prize was a 350ml Rosebank 1991 from the Signatory Vintage collection. Apparently some guy founded this company to buy up the existing stocks of distilleries which had gone out of business (whiskies which had been laid down but were not yet ready for bottling at the time of the business's dissolution). They then bottled the product in their own Signatory Vintage packaging and put them on the market. So when you buy one, you are getting a piece of the past, because once these whiskies are all consumed, there will be none left of them in the world. To me, that's really cool (and rather wistfully sad too). So of all the scotches (at least a dozen of various sizes) that I brought back to the U.S., this Rosebank is my most treasured. In fact, after a year and a half, I still haven't opened it. It deserves a truly special occasion. Oh, and I couldn't pass up a 3ml bottle of Dalmore which they had labelled "World's Smallest Bottle of Whisky." I wanted to make a Christmas tree ornament out of it, but I never got around to it.

During lunch the next day we tried walking in and they had tables available so we felt lucky to try one of the higher reviewed dining establishments in Portree. Interior is larger than it seems with lots of dark wood furnishings and details, giving it a worn in but welcoming look. Staff was excellent and they thoughtfully took our order and the food came quickly. Battered haddock roll: this was stacked so high I'm not sure how you would normally eat it. I ended up turning it into two open-face sandwiches and giving half to the wife and kids. This one tasted the best but the roll was quite heavy and not enough salad and lettuce to balance it all out. Caesar Salad: we needed something "clean" to help all the heavy food we were eating and we ordered this with dressing in the side. Odd thing to bring it up, but way too much croutons, ham, and cheese and we would have been happier with more greens. Kids cheese burger and chips: I had a bite and the venison burger was bland and not seasoned well. The chips were good and I think we were in the mood for them because we ordered more as a side after trying some.
