It’s simple really, our calling card is sustainable Scottish seafood.

Our name comes from the Gaelic word for fish. It’s a wee bit tricky to pronounce, but it’s no bother if guests don’t get it quite right. With delicious fresh produce served by our very own Head Chef, Sean Currie, you'll feel the energy in the way we go about things – our warm welcome, enthusiasm for what we do, and, of course, a splash of Glaswegian banter.

Serving sustainable Scottish seafood is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why £1 on every bill goes to The Firth Forth Lobster Hatchery, who hatch, rear and release lobsters to ensure stocks remain plentiful for future generations. Sea more on Instagram: @lobsterhatchery

Gluten free option - bread used in sandwiches could be improved upon. Nice scones though. Waited too long for food, 40 minutes. Had to extend parking in order not to rush. 70th birthday celebration with my granddaughter. Waitress apologised twice for delay and offered glass of fizz, had to refuse this.

Afternoon Tea was subpar. It took over 15 minutes to get my tea order. Then they served the food before the tea and the scones were cold. I’ve never encountered such poor service at an afternoon tea. The only positive was that they removed the tea from my bill since I didn’t eat anything, so I was only charged for my class of champagne. I expected more from a 5 star hotel.

Lovely spot, beautiful dining room. Friendly staff. Food was nice, mum enjoyed the vegetarian dish (enoki). I had the duck - the breast and cause were nice. Would be a lovely spot for afternoon tea.

The food was good, but the service was dreadful. The drinks order was taken and waited at least a full 10 minutes to receive them, one of the starters arrived before our first drinks … a beer and wine I might add. Only two of our party had dessert when the server put the plates down she just placed them in the middle of the table and walked away, didn’t even put them to the correct people. We felt not wanted at all. Additionally, having a salad leaf as a garnish on a dessert was not pleasant
