Decided to make a reservation the night before since I knew this was a popular spot. Otherwise, we…read morewould have eaten at the more casual cafe but I was glad we chose the main restaurant. We were staying in the hotel and it was very convenient. The front desk checked if we needed a reservation when we arrived. This was my favorite meal of the trip. I decided to get the scallop black pudding appetizer with the langoustine main. The scallop app was phenomenal, and the garlic butter langoustine were excellent. The langoustine meat was delicate - tails were sliced open and I took awhile to crack open the claws to get most of the meat out. The elderflower cocktail was refreshing. I had been debating about having langoustine and scallop dishes for app or main. The waitress said the langoustine app has 3, main has 6. Scallop app and main both have 3 scallops, but main has fish also. Great service overall. The restaurant was full and the larger parties really take their time here. The light is dim and everything was served elegantly. My vegetarian friend really enjoyed her bruschetta nibble and eggplant pasta. I would have ordered the cherry bakewell tart, but they were doing a different dessert.

I went with the 2 course - mussels to start and the white fish of the day (haddock). Unfortunately, they didn't have oysters or I would have gotten those too! The 2 course was more than enough food for 1 person, so I'm pleasantly full even though I didn't finish my plates. Service was attentive. Just make sure to book a resy as early as you can!

Lunchtimes can be very busy and occasionally tables aren't available. The food is always great with a large selection of soups, sandwiches, salads, teas etc. They also have a small gift shop with crafts from locals. After you eat it's great to go for a walk along the grounds and up to the Castle. The views of Stornoway from up there are beautiful.

When you find a place you really like, you go back. That's how I feel about the HS-1. Like the…read moreBoatshed Restaurant, it's associated with the Royal Hotel. But unlike the Boatshed, the HS-1 does not take reservations and is more value-priced. We dined there twice. While the presentation was not as dramatic as at the Boasted, we enjoyed every bite, enough to say it's my favorite place during Scotland travels.

Open for lunch and dinner the Thai has a large range of delicious food, the spring rolls being a particular favourite of most patrons. They also do a take out service. Booking a table in advance is advised as they are usually very busy at the weekend sometime being fully booked for a few weeks especially at Christmas. You get great value for money here! The café is a little overcrowded so bumping into others when it's busy is common. Their menu hasn't really ever changed which is a shame as it could do with some new dishes but that being said you will always find something you would like to eat.
