I took my friend for lunch for her 60th Birthday and we sat in the conservatory on a warm but very windy day and it was perfect and just what was needed. We had the Special menu but tbh it was too much... should have known to have smaller dishes lol! the starter was a bit overcooked but only just but still enjoyable. So a hugeThank you
Ravelston House – EdinburghI went to the Ravelston Hotel on Saturday 17th June for dinner with my partner for the first time. The meal was really excellent with large portions. We ordered the Chicken Kiev and the Fish and chips. Service was very professional and the staff are very polite and courteous. One thing that you do have to remember is that you have to sign in and enter your car registration number or you will probably get a parking ticket for using the Hotel car park.
Ravelston House – EdinburghA lovely place to eat, good menu and great service. I went on Saturday night with friends on their first visit to Orkney. We all enjoyed our main courses (the beef was beautifully done - so soft and tasty!) and had enough room for chocolate terrine and a fab dessert wine that rounded off the experience nicely.
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsAmazing restaurant in wee Stromness. The food was excellent and so was the service. We tried a variety of dishes but particularly, the lobster dish was to die for. Amazing desserts too. Definitely recommend.
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsFirst time I have eaten here under new management. I was a single diner on Saturday night. The restaurant retains the comfortable, buzzy environment. The menu is relatively modest, but a great selection of freshly cooked dishes. The quality of food was exceptional. The service very friendly and efficient. It is not cheap, but worth the money. Highly recommended and worth making the effort to ear here.
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsWonderful restaurant tucked away in Stromness and well worth the visit if not staying locally. Cosy dining room that had mainly couples dining on a Friday evening but can accommodate a larger tables. A warm welcome for an early dinner. Three choices for each course. Scallops with pea mash and bacon were fresh and delicious. We could not turn down the option of the lobster, ginger & spring onion noodles, shiitake, dashi butter sauce. Perhaps just a little over done but yummy! Full enough to turn down dessert. Wine list has enough to keep me interested and the chablis was a great accompaniment to the seafood. Well priced menu in my opinion for a good dining experience and served by very attentive staff. Would not hesitate to go back and if I was based in Stromness would likely go every evening!
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsLovely food and very pleasant staff. Only issue was place was so hot. We asked for air conditioning to be out up but told next table too cold. We ended up asking for food to be out in takeaway container and left early as so uncomfortable
The Golden Lion Hotel – StirlingWe ate here early on a Saturday evening. The service from the enthusiast staff was excellent every bit matched by the quality of the meals. We each had a different fish main course and I had scallops to start. The presentation on the plate was very good & the taste even better. It certainly lived up to its reputation. A most enjoyable experience throughout.
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsTook my dad for Father’s Day breakfast was perfect from start to finish service food everything I have been before loved it then too well done team
Ravelston House – EdinburghDelicious meal, The staff were very friendly and efficient.. Second time we have had a meal and are planning another visit when we return on holiday in August.
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsFabulous meal on Saturday evening. Fish focussed menu was excellent and food really well prepared, service was wonderful. I'd like to see one or two additional dessert choices but it was a minor detail. We'll be back as soon as we can!
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsI read about this restaurant I have no idea where but it was a super fabulous review so we booked it MONTHS before our trip to Orkney and it was worth the wait. Such clever dishes, so well prepared from wonderful ingredients, plus an excellent wine list, and attentive and friendly service. It was the highlight of our few days in Orkney. Not cheap, but worth every penny.
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsDelicious food, friendly staff and a gorgeous setting. Will definitely be back.
The Golden Lion Hotel – StirlingBest food to be had in the Orkneys. Delicious fresh local seafood, beautifully cooked and presented with a delicate Asian flavour. Very interesting short wine list. Unique restaurant, could not recommend it highly enough.
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsBeautiful food, so well cooked, was very impressed. Excellent service and atmosphere. Will definitely be going again, a hidden gem in stromness!
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsLovely meal and great service - cool music. 5/5
Hamnavoe – Orkneys and ShetlandsService and hospitality was amazing. Starter was brilliant, haggis bon bons truly wonderful. The Mac and cheese with pancetta on the other hand was very poor. Pancetta wasn't crispy, very chewy and fatty. Overall good.
The Golden Lion Hotel – StirlingWonderful meal and great service. Our waiter even went to the trouble of knocking up a fan for the ladies, as we were going to a show at the Kings Theatre and the weather was unbearably hot. Will definitely be back.
