We visit Bute several times a year and come to the Esplanade for lunch every time. There is a wide selection of delicious meals to choose from and currently even a festive menu. We rate the macaroni cheese as the best we have had in Scotland! Sticky toffee pudding also delicious! First class, friendly service from the owner. Looking forward to our next visit.

VERY GOOD RESTAURANT:I dropped in for dinner only on 21Sep23 with my sailing crew. The service, quality and quantity of the food was exceptional. Not fancy - excellent good Scottish cooking.I can honestly say that the steak pie was the best I've had - masses of well cooked steak chunks, crispy puff pastry, delicious gravy and perfectly cooked spuds and veg. Preceded by lovely lentil soup. And served with enthusiasm and charm by the lovely staff.

Chips advertised as home cut they were frozen chips. Fish was the size of a tadpole awful/watery cold in middle was frozen fish even the mushy peas were watery in taste. Could not eat any of it. No Tarter/sauces out.

Nice first floor bar/restaurant overlooking the harbour and town square. Excellent comprehensive menu and reasonably priced with good selection of wines. Friendly staff and quite quick service despite being busy. We both had Cullen Skink and I had lasagne both of which were tasty. Nice Tempranillo wine to wash it all down

Old building with a nice entrance and i liked the old bar inside. Ordered penne carbonara,kids chicken nuggets, fish cakes and a tuna wrap. Very nice with good service. Was going to mention dated signage but wife thinks that the whole of bute is the same so dont bother its part of the appeal. Highly recommended

Took the kids for lunch, was delighted with the service and food. Staff were absolutely marvellous, nothing was to much trouble. Food was the way your granny made it. Prices were very reasonable, quality was excellent. Is the place where the locals eat and recommend.
