Looks good from outside and bar looked cosy - no ale though... kernott1 - 9 May 2014 08:26 |
We chose this place based on reputation. As we entered the cosy looking bar, some people were already enjoying fantastic looking platters of fresh seafood. On a chalkboard on the wall were the day's specials and we were keen to order and eat. When I tried to place our order at the bar, the barman said he had to check whether it was ok to take it and disappeared off into the back. He eventually came back saying that as the restaurant was busy, we couldn't order anything. What a disappointment. Although I had previously read that booking for the restaurant was advised, surely, on this basis, being busy shouldn't come as a surprise and should be planned for? Why advertise your food in a bar and deny your customers? We finished our drinks and went to the curry house around the corner instead and it was a very worthy alternative. tilly69 - 11 Jun 2010 18:18 |
My husband and I dined here in March this year whilst on holiday and to be honest we were quite... no very disappointed! I had a venison starter which was pretty average and i was suprised that the lovely sounding salad that was served with it was merely iceberg lettuce with a few bits thrown in to try and make it look fancy.Our main courses were ok, nothing to write home about. The service was not bad but not good, you would expect better from prices of the food. To sum it up my opinion is that this place is very overated and overpriced, we eat out at nice restaurants quite frequently and this one will stay bottom of the rankings. 8813216 - 10 Apr 2008 17:53 |
John Passed it's hay day. Port Charlotte Hotel best place to eat on Islay. Bit pricey, but good quality. Fisher Fisher - 6 Jul 2006 15:28 |
