    I have to say that i would not agree with first review. We ate at the restaurant and the quality of the seafood, wine, service all made this value for money.It was a special occasion but have had more expensive and far less pleasing meals in my time. It was pricey but there is a fixed priced menu which is more reasonable. The range of the menus is impressive, all the food is locally sourced and that info is on the menu. You can ask the lovely lady anything and she will give you really helpful and interesting info about the food and wine. Service was impeccable. I loved the decor, quaint, cosy but relaxed. Real attention to detail is shown in everything. Best seafood I've eaten in a long time, imaginatively and perfectly cooked.
    There is also a bistro which I have yet to go to but will the next time I am in portmahomack. This is a more family friendly cheaper menu and area but looks to be equally high in standards of ooking, choice and service. We stayed overnight in one of the rooms which was simply perfect. I would love to do this again. The breakfast was substantial and fantastic. I would highly recommend this place for bed, breakfast, lunch and dinner. A real hidden gem. The best bed and breakfast I've had, th dinner was in my top 3 all time favourite meals. An unforgettable evening.

    The pre-starter of Cullen skink, oyster Pearls and Mulled wine (in a syringe) were well presented and kept us amused.
    This was followed by our starter of warm Lobster salad and it was lovely. a great way to taste lobster if never tried before.
    this was followed by apple and Calvados ice which was very refreshing.
    for main cours ...

    The quality of the shellfish and fish is second to none, I flew up from London to enjoy my 39th birthday there, it was Friday night and there was only us in the establishment. Service was impeccable (as you would expect). It was a magical evening in this blustery beautiful place with an exceptional wine list put together with both excellent knowledge and passion. The lobster thermidor was mind blowing. No it is not cheap - but it still represents excellent value in my opinion.We went back for lu ...

    When you go to a restaurant in a remote Scottish backwater and realise that they are charging the same as Ramsey in London, you know it will be either wonderful or terrible. Unfortunately, it was a costly mistake for us.

    The food at The Oystercatcher in Portmahomack was vastly over-priced and over-salted. This has to be the first time I have actually felt sick during a meal in a restaurant.

    I had mussels in little bread shells filled with garlic butter. They were so salty that I couldn't t ...
