Went for lunch having read the previous reviews and what sounded like a great dining experience on their website. We booked thinking it would be busy but there were few people for lunch (maybe 3 couples as well as us that afternoon). As we entered we were greeted by a medium sized barking dog which then followed us to our table attention seeking. Our server sat us very near to the only couple initially in the restaurant. Both people were busy scrolling on their mobile phones which gave the feeling of being in a cheap fast food restaurant. We soon discovered why when our server gave us a card with a QR code to access the menu. Then we sat looking at our phones like zombies rather than having the usual pre meal chat about what we might eat. The menu only had 2 starters, 2 mains and 2 desserts! I'm sure that it would have been more friendly and polite if the server had simply told us what was available or had it written on something like a board if they feel so strongly about not using paper on environmental grounds. (There was probably more damage to the environment using our phones !). The food was quite tasteless although well presented and definitely not worth about £50 per head for 3 smallish courses with drinks. The ambience was not great and the furniture had seen better days since being bought from IKEA years ago. This restaurant had a great reputation with its previous owners which I suspect the new owners are relying on. Definitely wouldn't go again, there's better choices not too far away.

A gem of a wee place and top quality food - really high standard of cuisine good enough to compete with Scotland's capital and not leave anything wanting. They made us very happy.

Lunch at the Whitehouse was a ray of brilliant sunshine on a grey day. I had the best cod I have ever eaten in my 68 years. Pudding was a delight of apple crumble soufflé. Lovely warm welcome. Go there for lunch

We chose this restaurant for a family celebration, which the chef catered for with a bespoke menu. To say all 13 of us (aged between 3 and 83!) had a wonderful time is an understatement. The food was delicious and of such a high standard, and we were looked after so well by Agi. This restaurant deserves a Michelin visit. As family members we have dined far and wide, from New York to Beijing, and this was a very fine example of dining as it should be -- locally sourced ingredients allowed to sing on a plate by careful handling and fine skills. Don't miss the chance to visit if you are in the area -- it's even worth coming from further afield for as I am sure it won't stay under the radar for long. The memories will linger for a long time. Thanks again.

My husband reserved us a table for my birthday. It was simply wonderful. The staff were perfectly attentive, calm, and clearly very passionate about the service they were giving. Both servers were very professional and personable. Seeing the chef work in the kitchen from our table was wonderful. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming. And the food was the best food we have had in Scotland. They have a lovely range of different wines to offer to pair with your meal. My husband is a vegetarian, and they were able to accommodate him very easily, even giving us a few options out with the menu, should he not want what was on the menu. The food was seasonal, local, and absolutely delicious. Thank you again for the wonderful visit.

Casual fine dining at its best! When we rang to book were asked about dietary requirements of the party. The welcome was good, ambience and decor pleasing, food delicious! Between us we had 3 of the 4 options available for starter and mains (Including imaginative vegetarian choices) and 2 of the puddings. All well cooked and presented. Plus an interesting wine list to complement the food. We shall return when next in the area,.

Incredibly rude and unwelcoming staff. The place looks cozy, unfortunately that is the only nice thing about it. The reality is that is only very pretentious with a very limited menu option and unjustifiably high prices for what you get. After a few minutes in the company of the unpleasant staff, we decided to leave.

Do not miss out on dinner at The Whitehouse! The small number of tables makes for a personal and cozy ambience. Each course was beautifully presented and delicious, with some yummy surprises provided throughout. The whole dining experience felt elevated and special.

Had a great meal here. The food was amazing, we tried almost everything between us and it was all delicious. Although, the banoffee soufflé was the star of the show. Highly recommend.

Fantastic food always using locally sourced ingredients. We had to change the booking at the last minute and the guys were really helpful. All five of us had the monkfish main! Superb!

Lovely food and venue but only a fixed price menu available with 3 choices per course.

Tasty food beautifully presented in this small, remote village. Dinner menu was £60 for three courses, an amuse bouche and coffee. Drinks extra. Restaurant felt a little cramped but not too bad.

High end dining without the food being rich or pretentious! The food was delicious with fresh flavours and creative combinations. Because of food intolerances the menu was adapted for me and I had several choices for each course.If you're thinking of eating here - go!Dietary restrictions: I discussed food intolerances with the restaurant before going, and they adapted the dishes to give me the same number of choices as the regular menu
