Without a doubt one the nicest restaurants in Moray, if you’re visiting Lossiemouth I would highly recommend. The service is always top tier with friendly, helpful staff. Loads of choice and a pretty good kids menu as a bonus. Went today with my partner and had a lovely Sunday roast so I am definitely full for the day.

Great service, great food, great price! They managed to fit us in, even though they were just about fully booked. The Scot the Lot burger is truly awesome too (my very, definite recommendation).

I would give this a 6 if I could! Elly and her team are far way and above expectations. On Sunday night we had wonderful tasty meals and were made to feel truly welcome. On the Monday my husband took ill with flu in the afternoon (not seriously) but didn’t feel like leaving our hotel room. Elly arranged some cold takeout that saved me walking too far and was delicious. We live reasonably local and will be back. A highly commendable team with truly personable values.

Popped in on a Monday night with no reservation and managed to get a table no bother. Ordered the chicken skewers for a starter and they were really good but the star of the show was the main course. I tried the lobster risotto from the specials board and it was incredible. The risotto was cooked in a lobster bisque and there was a generous lobster tail served on top that couldn't have been cooked any better that it was, it was absolutely perfect and a really amazing plate of food. The service was also excellent, they have a very friendly team and they run a tight ship, hopefully I find myself in the area again soon to try more of the menu

Ordered a haddock and chips and steak pie. The haddock was massive and delicious. Steak pie was tasty also. Good atmosphere and friendly service. Would recommend

Superb seafood restaurant set with a very stylish cellar style building and backed up with a great menu including quality fresh produce and the seafood is excellent. I had the langoustines as a starter which were served with salad and a garlic butter, tasted great. For main I opted for a whole lobster which I had served with a garlic butter, rice, salad and artisan bread. Great flavours. Fast and friendly service compliments an excellent experience. Highly recommended.
