First time coming here. Food and service was amazing. Only thing I could be negative about was restaurant was cold. Definitely be back again.

Golden Lion is a great place to eat. Fantastic food choices,friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Lovely restaurant with an extensive menu. Food was cooked to perfection with large portions. The staff were uber friendly.

Absolutely fantastic Great relaxed atmosphere and really helpful staff.kitchen staff including the chef delifer the mains and are genuinely interested.beautifully cooked and a simple menu makes this a restaurant not to miss. Sadly we were there I the winter and its only open Friday and Saturday otherwise we would have eaten there every night. Don't miss going

Had a lovely meal there for my husband’s birthday. It has a small menu, but varied and caters for vegetarians - in fact the vegetarian options looked so appetising I very nearly chose them! Service is fast, especially considering they are cooking to order. Front of house staff were polite and attentive and greeted us with a smile. They were also very knowledgeable about the menu and able to answer questions. The meals looked beautiful and tasted wonderful. Both fish and meat were cooked to perfection and the side dishes were delicious. We didn’t have dessert as we were too full, but the options were very appealing. Atmosphere is lovely, it is a small space with an open fire at one end, but it didn’t feel cramped. If you are looking for a low cost meal out, this is not the place to go. It is fine dining with high end ingredients and the prices reflect this. However, saying that, we felt it was worth every penny and we will definitely be looking to go back again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here, Food presented very well. Not fancy just straight forward . Flavour was as should be. & nice and hot. Staff attentive & courteous without being obtrusive. Will recommend to friends & family.

Excellent food and service. Very enjoyable.

Good and reasonable menu, plenty of choice as well as daily specials. Nice atmosphere. Staff knowledgeable and polite. Food served quickly despite restaurant being full. Was hot flavoursome and generous in proportion. The veg served with the fisherman's pie was superb. Will be back.

Lovely afternoon tea, friendly staff , food was good only comment is we asked for more tea and it was obvious the pot had just been filled up with water and no fresh tea added.

Have had lunch a few times at the Golden Lion. Food always delicious, well presented and good value for money. Staff very helpful and friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Foid mazing service brilliant nightly recommended

We had an amazing meal at The Hamnavoe. Absolutely perfect, from the atmosphere, the warm friendly welcome from the staff, to the food itself, every mouthful was so flavoursome, and beautifully cooked. We would certainly recommend The Hamnavoe.

Excellent food, service and atmosphere, really nice restaurant and look forward to coming back... The bang bang sauce is amazing!

Wow! So happy to be back in Stromness and at Hamnavoe. Not only amazing food and super friendly folk, but a clear still night and a leisurely walk home in good company afterwards.
