Overpriced pulled beef sandwich. Over 35 pounds for two sandwiches, a cappuccino and an espresso. We asked for a takeaway and got a sandwich with cold beef and coleslaw in a small plastic container without a fork. A service charge was added and staff wasn?t nice and welcoming either. The location and the view is fantastic though.

(Translated by Google) Overstrained staff though for two and small room. I thought if Bistro's turn it does not take long. The food was very expensive and really not tasty. Unpecked sloppy toast with plain egg salad was not worth the money. Very beautiful view.(Original)Überfordertes Personal obwohl zu zweit und kleiner Raum. Ich dachte wenn Bistro dran steht dauert es nicht lange. Das Essen war sehr teuer und wirklich nicht lecker. Ungetoastetes labbriges Toastbrot mit normalen Eiersalat war sein Geld nicht Wert. Sehr schöne Aussicht.

The view from this place is excelent and it is right next to an nts garden where we were initially headed.
The staff were very pleasant and helpful.
My wife opted for the cold languistine special and whilst she said theyntasted very nice they were expensive for what was served.
I went for the mussels special. Unfortunately I'm sure there were some empty shells with no corresponding mussel. But that happens on occasion. The ones that were there tasted ok but far too many were too gritty and a number of them still had stringy beards, so clearly hadn't been cleaned properly.
On the up side though..... Awesome chocolate brownie. The size of a saucer and almost a chocolate overload.

Great views over the sea, very reasonable prices for a quick drink & snack.

I'd always fancied an overnight stay here, with the beach on the doorstep, and beautiful scenery nearby, but sadly not anymore after the poor service on Saturday. It's disappointing to still find this level of service in an area of Scotland where tourism is vital. Food when it eventually arrived was fine, hence the 2 stars. Our order was lost, only passed to the kitchen when we enquired over an hour later and then there was a further wait, with no drinks or even bread offered, before it arrived. When a manager eventually apologised it was so half-hearted and insincere that I really think this hotel and restaurant has no interest in their customers.

A beautiful lochside location with gorgeous weather serving locally sourced seafood and game. What could possibly ruin such an idyllic scene? Well, the worst service experienced for many years and ever reducing menu in the mid-afternoon when the restaurant doesn't close until 9pm. The Melfort Hotel has stunning views across the Coryvechan toward Jura and it is a good job as a 70 minute wait for two sandwiches a bowl of mussels and a grilled salmon isn't acceptable and equally neither is it good once reminded after 60 minutes of waiting to be told the meal will be 5 minutes longer and then taking 10. When the bill did arrive we had to ask if something was going to be offered for the poor service at which point the member of staff told us he had to ask the manager, he did and gave us a third off which was some compensation but it might have been nice for the manager himself to make the offer instead of sending the lacky back with a message. The food was ok when it arrived, hence two stars instead of one but a small microwaved bread roll really isn't enough for a large pot of mussels. This had great potential but sadly let down by poor service and cheap food to accompany some very good mussels.
