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.

Get the Cullen skink. Sweet fancy Moses... I want to be dropped in a vat of it so I can eat my way…read moreout. Lovely interiors and good food make for an excellent evening. And, because it bears repeating, get the Cullen skink!

A nice fancy meal for a fun evening after exploring Skye. Reservation is basically required. Saw…read morethem turn away almost everyone as it got to more peak times. They had plenty of tables open but probably short on staff. The venison was cooked perfectly and the presentation was very well done. Got the sticky toffee pudding for dessert, which was decent but not fantastic. Fun spot for a relaxing evening.

So happy we got reservations here, they are reservation only and Portree is small so a lot of…read morepeople got turned away. 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.
