"I don't like to post negative reviews but something needs to be said. 50 minutes to get served when 90% of the food we ordered was cold and only needed to be placed on a chopping board. A chopping board which of course had to be was in swathes of spring onion. Now it seems churlish to say this but food is allowed to be savoury, every single dish was served with either a clawing pickle, chutney or balsamic reduction. Now to the cooking ... The curried muscles tasted precisely like muscles lightly warmed in coconut milk. No spice, no curry nothing. The tapas selection is where it went horribly wrong. Patatas Bravas is a simple simple dish cubes of fried potato in a spicy paprika sauce, not 2 soggy hash browns covered in chipped cooked tomato and onions. Pan con Tomato is another simple dish fresh bread covered with fresh tomatoes in olive oil and seasoned, not toasted bread covered in the same cooked tomato and Onion that swamped the the potatoes. Fried Serano Ham is a strange choice, fried Serano Ham in Balsamic vinegar is an abomination Tapenade is NOT a sweet tangy relish. It is ostensibly mashed olives this one like everything else was doused in sweet vinegar and quite quite unpleasant. The frozen chips were well cooked though. I'm giving it 3 stars simply because I don't like posting negative points, especially for a restaurant on an island where the food is universally awful."

Fantastic meal at Caledonia Bistro last night, great choice on the menu, lovely wine, great service and beautiful view over the bay. Donia was very friendly and helpful. As I bonus I bought a lovely picture as well. Brilliant place!

Took about 2 hours to serve a cold charcuterie board and 2 mussels mains and the place wasn't full with only 2 other tables occupied. Food was ok, but felt it was overpriced especially the wine options! Towards the end of the main meal the dishes started to get cold as the plates were cold to start.

We were really pleased to find this xcellent little bistro within walking distance of the marina and next door to the famous Port Bannatyne community pub. A small but appealing menu with good provision for all tastes is prepared with care and served by friendly competent staff. A real boost to the village and a welcome spot for passing sailors.

Nice place in a great setting. Was quiet the evening we visited. Starters and mains were nice with nice wines also. The seafood linguine was lovely. Service was good and friendly and helped with the requirements that one of our party had. We felt that the sweets that we had were disappointing. All 4 of us had a different sweet and felt the same.

Service was incredibly slow, there were only two other tables and it took two hours for a charcuterie board and mussels. Food was average, definitely not worth the price considering my wife had several closed mussels and the bread was rock solid. Food also cooled quickly as it was not served on warm plates. The wine list prices were extortionate. Limited choice in the village but would not recommend.

Had a wonderful dinner here on September 15th. The bistro is lovely, the staff was excellent. The real prize here is the food though! A small but diverse menu where every meal and dessert is delicious. The owner/chef has incredible culinary skills and deserves high praise! One warning though...If you are interested in trying this place out MAKE A RESERVATION! It's small, fills quickly and with good reason.

Hands down the best food on the island! Great selection of vegetarian dishes, internationally inspired cuisine, all freshly prepared. Lovely, cosy atmosphere with little touches such as fresh flowers on the table, etc. We spent a lovely evening enjoying the meal, the wine, and a chat with the great hostess. Very recommended if you're looking for something more than fish and chips. We'll be definitely coming back!

"We booked this restaurant after reading the reviews while touring Scotland what a disappointment. When we arrived we were shown to a table straight behind the door and as it kept opening and shutting it blew a massive amount of cold air in. As both parents and staff allowed 2 young children to go in and out every few minutes it got a bit much. We were given the menu and told specials were on the board. No description or recommendation. Also they did not say the board also goes over the top of the fish on didplay. I had crab claws to start the mayonnaise was lovely and what I could get out of the claws was nice but I was given no instruments to get into the claws and they were not broken enough for them to just pull out. I ordered the turbut for main as did my husband it was a small fillet with the skin correctly removed but it was loaded with garlic butter sauce you couldn't taste the fish for the garlic. Also which was worse I don't know what they did to the top of it but it was yellow and like thin rubber. We had to peel it off it was not good. I didn't complain at the time because I am not used to having a fillet of turbut. When I have had it before my husband and I have shared a turbut presented whole at the table. I have only written this today after speaking to some friends who said i should put something on because there had to be something wrong for the top of the fish to be yellow and leathery. You might guess but I won't be going back."
