Had lunch with friends on Saturday 5 th November beautiful meal friendly staff and lovely surroundings would definitely recommend.

Interesting and varied menu with regular changes - food excellent. Staff helpful without being intrusive.

The warm reception, beautifully presented meal, sensational service all combined to create one of the most extraordinary fine dining experiences in my life time. We were celebrating the fiftieth wedding anniversary of our friends and the pudding with candles were presented with theatricality and pizazz!

High tea was great value for money . Steak pie was delicious . Service was friendly and fantastic. I would recommend that this is the best place to eat in Stirling .x

Went in after the racing at Musselburgh and as we were staying the night there. Great hotel and restaurant was good too. Meals were throughly enjoyed and the fish was huge! Two courses for £15 and the service was great. Modern and welcoming.

We dined with you last Saturday. Everything was excellent. Your staff were super and attentive. The meal was excellent, we had salt cod, squid, rump steak & aubergine and all was so splendid that I simply had to have your Frangipane pudding which was of course superb. We will be back again when we next get over to Orkney.

Food was absolutely delicious and very well presented,staff were very friendly and attentive,will definitely be back

I simply love this wee eaterie. The food, the service, the location, the ambience everything is just fantastic! They deserve success. What a wonderful asset for Stromness.

Myself and a pal were in glasgow for work, we booked in for a steak and must say it was good.. had bang bang chicken and prawn starter was very tasty . Myself and 4 mates intend to come for steaks end of November hopefully its as good.

Such a lovely, welcoming venue. Dinner with my son was delicious. He had the steak pie I had the tortellini we were both very happy with our choices and even happier when the delicious dessert - strawberry, meringue cheesecake arrived! The staff were excellent friendly yet discreet- ideal. Would highly recommend this restaurant and definitely return next time in Stirling.

Relaxed intimate dining with friendly attentive staff. The raw scallops were delicious. The broth with the lobster dumplings was truly exceptional. Really looking forward to trying more of the menu in the future.

The Hamnavoe was recommended to us whilst visiting our daughter on the island and we were not disappointed! Nestled in the quaint side streets of Stromness this small restaurant was full of character. The staff were delightful and the food absolutely delicious! An interesting menu that was well put together, perfectly cooked food with beautiful flavours, and all enjoyed with a very nice wine. Thank you to all staff for a lovely evening, we wish you well and can’t wait to revisit on our next trip to Orkney!

Afternoon Tea The venue is very beautiful but I don’t feel I could recommend afternoon tea. We ordered it for 4 people, £58. Three tier arrived with one plate of sandwiches, which contained cheese, cheese and pickle, ham and tuna. We asked for them without butter, and the cheese ones arrived with butter. The scones were very good, but way too many smaller cakes compared to sandwiches. Service was poor, none came to check the food was okay or take another drinks order. Overall nice venue, and the meals around us looked nice, but was a bit disappointed celebrating a 70th with the afternoon tea.

While staying in Stromness for one night, I had seen this restaurant and liked the look of the menu. I wasn’t disappointed! The flavours were delightful, not ones I had had with sea food before. Scallops were beautifully cooked, then the lobster was divine. Chocolate dessert not too sweet either. Would definitely go back when next in Stromness.

Have been a few times and can’t fault this place at all. Starters are great and a lot of them, the main meals are really tasty and plenty to choose from. Finally the staff are outstanding and plenty of them very polite and helpful. Would recommend to anyone.

Food was fantastic! Will be back to try the steak pie as they had no pastry left when we went. Cocktails were great and the barman was really passionate about his work. Nice and clean, staff attentive too.

Twice in two weeks!this restaurant must be good..being a foodie and keen cook, the food has to be the best and this certainly was the case at The Hamnovoe.it was absolutely delicious,imaginative and ingredients from the best local sources. The service was perfect,friendly,professional and knowledgeable.we will be back and recommend .

Had booked for a quick meal before show at kings. Starter of nachos was nice but main of Philly cheese steak baguette would not recommend. We left half the baguette as it was far too sweet. Would not choose to go back
