What amazing food. The Cullen Skink was buttery, unctuous and light. The pan-fried hake was so good that after my first mouthful, I almost swore out loud. The chocolate mousse was light, fluffy and delicious. The staff were great and the atmosphere was friendly. A great place for a meal.
Ate year 4 times now, twice for breakfast after getting off the ferry from Aberdeen, and twice for lunch before getting back on the ferry. There is a great range of choices, including local Shetland cuisine, and the quality is great. Really good location on edge of the sea.
Delicious food with a view to match. The seafood stew was amazing and probably enough as a main! The staff were attentive and friendly without being overbearing. The cakes looked fabulous, but I was too full of burger to get one in. Really top notch stuff. I watched the bay turn from day to night in this cosy place and enjoyed every second of it.
We went there with my family and friends. The place is always busy, so we had luck to get a reservation. Of course I had to eat one more Fish&Chips. Added bonus, I think its the only batter that used panko to be more crispy. Not traditional I think, but I actually like the version better.
Excellent cafe in a great location with beautiful views from all tables. Service was fast and polite, drinks arrived quickly with the food not too far behind. Food was all quality products. Will be back for another visit
Delicious and coming from the states... Price was fair. The woman looked at me like I had two heads though when I ordered a dirty Chai latte.
Very busy place but I can see why. Food was lovely service and staff was fantastic
Scampi is good , and fish and chips is good, fries not my favourite but its fine. Had a mocha and it taste fine, not too sweet but yet with enough flavour
