    Fourth time we have been and will be going again the next time we are in Nairn Food amazing, view to die for what’s not to be loved? Only slight comment was that our 2 cocktail connoisseurs thought the cocktails they had weren’t quite right😂
    Sundancer Bar & RestaurantResponded on May 10, 2025
    Thank you so much for your continued support—it means a lot to us! We’re thrilled you enjoyed the food and those unbeatable views once again. Sorry to hear the cocktails didn’t quite hit the mark though—we’ll pass the feedback to the bar team! Looking forward to welcoming you back on your next trip to Nairn. Many thanks George

    Took quite a while for our good order to arrive, and we had a flight to catch but had allocated plenty of time and the restaurant wasn’t busy by any means.
    Sundancer Bar & RestaurantResponded on May 8, 2025
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that your food took longer than expected, especially with a flight to catch. We understand how important timing is in situations like that, and it’s disappointing to know we didn’t meet your expectations — particularly when the restaurant wasn’t busy. I’ve shared your comments with the team to help us improve our efficiency and ensure we’re more responsive to time-sensitive situations in the future. We appreciate you choosing to dine with us and hope we’ll have the chance to provide you with a smoother experience next time.
