    The ambience and service are always good. The soup however could have been warmer while the gluten free options were very limited. Restaurants and chefs need to be aware that gluten free does not mean vegetarian! The soup should have been served with bread but no gluten free bread was provided or offered. My friend was impressed with her non-gluten lunch.

    First time of visiting since changing to The Stravaig and we were bowled over at the changes. We were greeted upon entering and ushered thru to a booth which as a party of four was ideal for us celebrating our son's birthday ( we kept quiet about that!) Drinks and food orders taken quickly by pleasant and friendly staff. Cocktails were tasty , desserts super tasty and everyone enjoyed their mains . I knocked off one star for my meal which should have been haddock goujons and instead got a huge piece of battered haddock , so yes still fish but too much for me to eat as I have a small appetite .I am being picky and maybe being unfair at knocking off a star. However the meal was still tasty and we will certainly be back....maybe for lunch or breakfast as the menu's all looks fab.
