Reviews
The view is astonishing and the staff is quite friendly. The fish and chips are so amazing, the batter is super chirpy but not oily. The tartar sauces seems home made, it’s very tasty. There are some local beers in the restaurant. Last but not least, there is vegetarian options which is really good in Portree, because there are not many vegetarian options in Portree
Good starters followed by poor service and disappointing main courses. Waiters were overwhelmed although the restaurant wasn’t full, some dishes and drinks took ages to come, and a side came when we were finished eating… Just not professional and definitely not what you would expect in a place like this On the positive side, the drinks at the bar were great! Note: in the end, the hotel removed the price of the dinner from our bill. A nice gesture, greatly appreciated!
Couldn't see the view because it was dark by the time we got here, but I'm sure it was great. The ambiance was nice, but everything else did not meet expectations. The server was friendly enough, I suppose. But the food was truly terrible. The lamb neck appetizer tasted alright, but it failed to delight. The special for the day was a ribeye steak which was served with a mushy tomato, two measly pieces of broccoli, and soggy homemade potato fries. The steak itself was good sized and adequate, no more no less. The salmon from the regular menu was topped with a toe sized deep fried roll of crab that completely ruined the taste of the crab meat. It was also topped with caviar that was sour and pasty. The salmon was simply pan fried, which would have been fine if it wasn't drowned in a tangy, saucy soup that contradicted the flavor of the salmon and amplified the bad taste of the caviar and the pointlessly deep fried crab roll. Prices were equally disappointing and disproportionate to the quality of the food. The majority of good reviews, upon closer look, were from about 2 years ago.
My partner and I were celebrating our anniversary tonight and were really excited about dinner at The View. Overall I’d say the location was beautiful, however our tomato appetizer salad had mold on the tomato. We let the server know, who was apologetic he mentioned it was the new chefs first night and said the manager would be out to speak to us, however no one turned up to apologize or speak to us. They did end up taking the appetizer off the bill, but it really did spoil our evening, and the lack of customer service was really disappointing. The drinks were great, and as mentioned the location was beautiful but at a restaurant like this which is fine dining prices we had expected better service for a moldy tomato salad
Views are great and it's a nice atmosphere but unfortunately they were missing several items from the menu and the waitress described the in gnocchi dish incorrectly, so we ordered something we didn't want/expect. Also the cauliflower portion was a joke. They did offer us free dessert for the issue but then charged us anyway.
Location is just outstanding, with an incredible view on Portree. The food is good and well cooked, but honestly it should serve slightly bigger portions the one we received were more in line with the one served during a 6/ 9 courses menu. Service is ok, not perfect though. Surely recommended.
This restaurant was brilliant, the view was beautiful, table next to the window looking out onto the lawn, the water, and the mountains. The food and drink was delicious and full of flavour. The staff were very professional and helpful. Definitely recommend, and will be going back soon!Food: 5/5
I want to give The View 5 stars. The atmosphere and amazing view right away set the tone for a beautiful spot. We were staying at the hotel attached and ended up eating here on two separate occasions. Both times the food was very good, however you could tell that there was a slight drop in quality on the second evening. I expect that consistency across chefs may not be there yet. Additionally, the service although very kind folks can be pretty slow and inattentive. Be prepared to wait a bit for menu items or requests. If you can get over that part, the view and food quality are writhing your time. Had the Sticky Toffee Pudding on our last night in Portree - one of the best things I have ever eaten.
My wife and I had dinner at The View on our last night in Portree - it did not disappoint. We were seated at a great table by the window so had a view over the harbour and with the hills behind. Service was great, really friendly staff who were very attentive. Food was delicious, all the way through the starters mussels and cullen skink, mains langoustines and venison and dessert. Rounded it out with a Lagavulin 16. Would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a classy meal in Portree. We'd definitely go back if we are up those ways again!
Great food, really friendly staff and nice views at the restaurant. Was our best meal at Skye and definitely recommended if you’re looking for something nice to eat over the standard pubs across the island.
