Had the festive menu with wine and it was delicious. No complaints, staff lovely and wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Had 2 great meals here. Lovely ambience and friendly staff. Food cooked fresh with pan Asian flavours very subtle & excellent. Lobster fab, nut roast scrummy, especially mushroom gravy. Highly recommend this restaurant in Stromness, Orkney. Open part week so get a booking in.

The Hamnavoe is now our regular restaurant of choice. Eugene has created wonderful menus for the Thursday Anju night, Friday and Saturday delicious meals and show- stopping roasts on Sundays. Service led by Morag is spot on and wine lists are intelligently thought out. All in all an excellent place.

First time visiting Ravelston House on 10th December 2022. The waitress that greeted us was rude and unfriendly then walked away when i said we had a table booked. Another waitress then came over and showed us to our seats who was more friendlier. The first waitress who greeted us came to take our drinks order and again was rude and unfriendly. I think some training on customer service would be beneficial. The food was lovely, I had the half haddock which was a generous portion size whilst the other two in our party had burgers which they both enjoyed too.

We’ve visited twice and both times found that the reality lived up to the excellent word of mouth. The food is imaginatively prepared with top quality ingredients. The staff are on top form. The wine list looked tempting; pity I was driving…

Staff very attentive from the minute we arrived. Service was very good. Food was really good. Well presented, hot, and good portions. Nice clean friendly restaurant. Would definitely come back.

Lunch for three, food was delicious and staff couldn't do enough for us. Lovely atmosphere, small negative was that we were seated under the jukebox which was a bit loud.

A very disappointing meal, moved to the bar area a week prior to 9th December which was fine but the bar was extremely cold that my mum had to eat her meal with her coat on. There were no menus on the table nor place settings. We had to pay for our meal when we ordered again something we would not have done if dining in the restaurant. We made 2 orders of sea bass, the vegetables were so crunchy you couldn’t cut through them, the mushy mint peas lacked mint (no mint whatsoever). The potatoes as described on the menu we had 3 half potatoes per portion and the poached eggs were rubbery, cold and yolk solid. We also ordered the pork fillet again the vegetables undercooked and mash potato cold. We reserved my grans 90th for 38 people last January and I personally have been back but after my experience on Friday I would certainly be reluctant on returning and recommending. Truly disappointing.

Saturday 10th December went for a meal at the ravelston. Staff friendly and service was great. Both had steak pie which was the best I have had in a very long time. Well done to the chef as this was lovely especially when having to cook for Xmas party which was going on in function room at the same time. Had drinks afterwards in bar which was really busy, staff pleasant and polite. Would definitely recommend x

Great staff service with a suitably varied menu to choose from.

Absolutely fabulous meal and such lovely attentive staff. Will be back.

Excellent food, great value for money, Staff very polite and attentive.

Excellent service. Good food at a very reasonable price, especially as costs rise.

10 of us had the 3 course festive lunch and it was excellent. The service was very quick and we all got our meals at the same time. Portions were generous and hot when they arrived. The surroundings are lovely and comfortable. Our only negative point was we thought the bottle of house wine wasn't very good and a bit overpriced but otherwise a lovely afternoon.

Attended for Christmas lunch with a party of 19. The food and presentation were superb. The staff were very attentive and friendly. We will definitely go back I would certainly recommend it

Amazing place to eat, food beautiful especially the steaks. This is our 2nd time visiting. Will be back soon. The waiters were lovely also .

Ate here with my husband and son. We all really enjoyed our meals. I had the Turkey special, which was delicious and generous portion. My son loved his meal and ice cream. Staff were friendly and attentive, and the dining area had a lovely atmosphere. The 2 course lunch deal was excellent value for money. Rounded our meal off with a delicious sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely return!

Service and food excellent.
