    We had a very mixed experience here, the welcome was good and we were sat at our reserved table promptly however we were not given any menus or any offer of a drink. After collecting our drinks and menus we then ordered the meals, My smoked haddock dish was ok if a bit expensive but the burgers were awful and very overpriced, the staff were willing at times and unresponsive at other times,all in all this was a very average and expensive experience.

    We love the Ness for its ambience and views. However the food on this occasion was very poor- fish very over cooked to. The point of being blackened, whitebait greasy rather than crispy.... and no one came to check if food was ok. This is not the first time food has been below par. A shame as this is our favourite place.

    Wine wasn’t chilled, main course was tasty but no very warm, plate covered with finger marks. Pudding disappointing- lots of cream very little meringue- may have run short of meringue.

    Sadly my husband had to leave our table, go to the bar and chase up the wine we ordered 40 minutes earlier. However, the wine arrived quickly with the compliments of the house, nice touch. When we came to pay the wine remained on our bill! Food was pleasant, could had been hotter.

    We have popped into this charming pub/restaurant many times, with and without our small dog for a drink or 2! First time we had eaten there on this occasion, everything was perfect from the service to the food...highly recommended

    The service was very good, however there was so much not available on the menu that our choice was somewhat restricted which we felt was poor. The meal itself was very good but there was a very long list of things that weren’t available including steak, which was disappointing.
