Myself and my partner decided to take a trip up to Ullapool as we are like ships in the night with our jobs. We were greeted and made to feel very welcome by the team. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was fantastic and fresh. I would highly recommend stopping in here if you decide a day trip to Ullapool or if you have time to wait for the ferry to Stornoway.

Could have stayed all day. Lovely food and very very nice staff. Best music play list I?ve heard in a restaurant for some time, best of the 1980s I think. Very dog friendly. We were recommended to come here and it did not disappoint. Fish and chips were bob on.

We had a quiet dinner here on a cold wintry night. Few customers besides ourselves, but David, our server, gave us really great & attentive service. The food was excellent and portions large. We did not feel rushed to finish quickly even though it was closing time and we were the last customers.The Cullen skink and the Haddock Mornay were my favourite dishes.

Popped in for some food and it was delicious! Very filling and probably best mac n cheese from a restaurant i've had! (Properly done with an actual cheese sauce from a rue, not some watery rubbish) Hubby got the fish and chips and said it might be the best he has ever had. Will be back when back in Ullapool!

We were up in Ullapool as part our road trip down the West Coast of Scotland. After pitching the tent we thought we'd head in to the town for some dinner and a few drinks to prepare us for the chilly night ahead. The first place we saw was the Seaforth and thought we'd head inside for some warmth and some grub. There was only one other table at the time, which wasn't surprising as it is out of season. We ordered a pint and some food and it came reasonably quickly. But this is where the positives ended unfortunately. The cheesy garlic bread starter was just a baguette with a mound of cheese on top and was likely bought from Tesco around the corner and fired off in the oven. The mains were not much better. My chicken burger was very dry, very bland and overall very disappointing. The fish and chips also very dry and tasteless, which is very surprising considering the same business owns the chippy next door. Despite the dry and tasteless food we had partially consumed, the hardest part to swallow was the fact that two courses each and one drink each amounted to £63. There was also a mandatory 10% gratuity. If this was peak summer period and the staff were running off their feet, I can see why this would be appropriate. It certainly was not like that on this occasion. Overall, I won't be back. The food was underwhelming, and the prices are just completely bonkers. We should've checked here first as there are plenty previous reviews that follow the same trend. Avoid.

Dropped in for quick lunch. Excellent battered fish and chips with home made mushy peas and tartare sauce produced in good time. Really good.

This place used to be my favorite for years! Food and service has definitely improved, but the Ambiente is horrible now! There are just crafts beers of which one is worse than the other and you are only one decent one and this Italian!!!!! In Scotland!!!! We used to love to have a couple of drams there too, but nowadays you are sitting there under a spotlight!! So just eat and get out! But it feels like this is wanted by the owner! Very uncomfortable! Just eat and go to the arch Inn! Still comfy!

My collegaue and I had dinner and a couple of drinks on our way for the ferry to Stornoway. First of all I'd like to say the staff are fantastic, very friendly and inviting, well looked after. As to the food, we had the prawn linguine and a chicken burger. The chicken burger was bland, not seasoned in any way, and served with a few chips. The linguine for £26 is embarrassing, a handful of pasta, 1 whole prawn and a few prawns from tesco, how anyone can justify this price? I don't know. The beer is fairly priced, my colleague had a cider was £7, again can buy from shops for £2.50. Overall over £60 for this meal is a disgrace. We went up the road after to the Caley which is very nice and more reasonably priced.

Last weekend we headed to Ullapool to celebrate our 15th anniversary and on Saturday night went to the Seaforth Bar for dinner. What I would like to know is how they justify the price of the meals. Before I go on my rant I do want to say that Debbie who served us was so lovely and and us feel really welcome. How can they justify £22 for the Haddock Mornay and £26 for king prawn linguine? Thats what I would like to know. The Haddock mornay was so disappointing!! There wasn't even a whole Haddock in there but there was plenty of cheese sauce and breadcrumbs!! Also... what's the deal with it coming with either salad or chips?? For £22!!! Why not some nice fresh vegetables and baby potatoes!! Jen had the Prawn Linguine which she did enjoy but it was such a small portion with 1 whole langoustine and 5 king prawns. It was a bit of a weird pasta dish and definitely not worth £26!!! That is a massive mark up! I know food prices have went up but not that much!! We had two unsatisfying meals for £50!! Thats nuts and I can't see how they can justify those prices! The best bit of the night was Debbie!! She was lovely. It certainly waste the food.

Simply the best fish and chips I've ever had in my life. No kidding. The serving was so generous, I couldn't finish it all, but what I wouldn't give to have the rest of that yummy meal sitting in front of me now, waiting to be devoured!

Bought a Chippy and most of it was thrown in the bin. The chips were hard in the middle obviously under cooked the battered sausage turned out to be smoked sausage asked if I could change it and was told they didn't have an alternative so I kept it but it was hard unlike the chips this was overcooked. Curry Sauce was out of a tub of knorr Ready to use and they just added water and microwaved it. My wife had Scampi and it was tasteless hardly any Prawn inside and mostly all batter. Obviously bought in cheap rubbish and charging a fortune . The lady who served us was very polite and apologetic in it wasn't for her I would make as a one.

Stopped for lunch in Ullapool, on the way home from the North West Coast, as we have done for about 20 years. Sadly the smaller chip shop facing harbour was closed.The menu in here seemed to be smaller than before. Ordered 2 fish suppers and 2 chicken nugget suppers to take away.Nuggets turned out to be mixed frozen supermarket varieties, 8 in box. This was £8.95. We drove to park less than 5 minutes away, and by this time, grease from the fish was running out the box, over clothes and car. The fish should have been left to crisp up, and then it would have been lovely. Fish itself was nice enough, but batter so soggy it stuck to box.The chips, however, must have been double cooked as barely any potato on inside and hard on outside. They tasted as if the oil needed to be changed, and the box was full of scrapings of chips/ batter.Poor quality for the price of £12.95.

Stopped in for a late lunch. Had vegetable soup and it was very good. Ordered the scallop starter as my main and it may have been the best scallops I have ever eaten. Perfectly cooked and served with black pudding & bacon and a delicious sauce and micro-greens for garnish but they too were delicious. It was unexpected to be served such a high end dish in a casual eatery. Kudos to the chef!
