"Very disappointing. Having been to Fonab on a few occasions previously, we had no hesitation in meeting our friends there to celebrate his birthday……. Big mistake. Table was booked for 7pm. We arrived at 7.05 due to the rain and bad roads. As we arrived my friends phone was ringing, this was the hotel asking if we were still coming! In fact we were standing in front of the lady that was on the phone! We were shown to our seats and asked if we wanted to order drinks before we sat down. In fact we were asked 4 times before I asked if they had a cocktail menu which we were then given. The waiter stood there while we looked at it with pen poised! We all felt a bit uncomfortable and rushed. Drinks order arrived and a bottle of tonic was dropped on the table. The waiter cleaned the floor and left to get another bottle. He returned, apologised,left the bottle and disappeared. We then had to ask if someone could wipe the table and the side plate. Wine ordered but did not arrive. We had to ask for it after the main course arrived. Waiter poured us our first glass and after that we had to pour our own. My meal arrived and my Pomme purée was cold. I very privately told the waitress and she took it away. When she brought it back I had only a 3rd of the pomme purée I had the first time, but thought it best to not make a complaint. However I very quickly realised that my sole was raw! Not undercooked or opaque but actually raw and cold in the middle. Again I informed the waitress. She apologised and asked if I would like to order something else. I declined as by now the others were almost finished their meals. We didn’t order desserts and only 1 out of the 4 of us ordered a coffee, an Americano with hot milk on the side. When it arrived it was a black coffee with cold milk on the side! We then asked for the bill as we just wanted to go home. I checked the bill and the fish had not been charged, however the pomme purée and the broccoli sides I’d ordered had been! I asked them to remove them and to also remove the 12.5% service charge. The waitress wasn’t too happy and still no apology. I then asked to speak to a supervisor/manager to be told that there wasn’t a manager on duty (this was a Saturday night! there was an assistant manager and that was the waitress we’d been dealing with! She said she would get a manager to call me tomorrow and took my name, phone number and email address. This was Saturday evening 20th May and it is now Wednesday 24th and still no communication of any sort. I always believe that problems can occur in any business but it is how they are handled and rectified that leaves a lasting impression. As I said, very disappointing. My conclusion is that this is an apparent 5 star establishment, but in the last few months we have stayed/eaten at The Balmoral, Cameron House and Gleneagles and this was NOT 5 star by any stretch of the imagination! In fact the only thing 5 star about Fonab is the beautiful view and the prices!"

This restaurant is a true gem: The view over the loch is stunning, and the service and quality of the food is just excellent.

Made to feel welcome as soon you arrive at the door . Excellent service , large selection of gluten free options I am coeliac) and delicious food. It is expensive but worth it for the ambience, food , service and beautiful views of the loch. We will go back and highly recommend for a leisurely lunch .

We are locals, visit fairly regularly and enjoyed a Lovely evening tonight celebrating my daughter’s highers. Great food and lovely cocktails to kick our evening off. The staff were all great from the upstairs team making our cocktails to the waiting on team in the brasserie and a very special thank you to Davie who kindly came to pick us up- he is a credit to Fonab and I hope they look after him! A great evening and we would highly recommend! Visualizza piatti

We recently dined at this restaurant for my birthday. I found the food to be delicious and the service to be excellent; we had no issues. I really enjoyed the open setting, as it added a lively atmosphere to the place. I do agree with the feedback about the service charge - while we typically tip generously when the service is deserving, I also prefer to have the option to decide how much to tip rather than it being automatically added to the bill (although you can request to have it removed, who wants the hassle?). Overall, I would happily return to this restaurant for another special occasion.

We went for afternoon tea at this restaurant and chose the classic option, which included sandwiches, scones, cakes, and tea. The English breakfast tea was particularly good. However, at £39.50 per person, plus around £6 for a bottle of water and a 12.5% service charge, it ended up being close to £100. Despite the nice atmosphere and good service, we didn't feel like it was worth the price. For the overall experience, we feel that around £60 would have been more reasonable. We have spent more on afternoon tea before, such as at The Ritz in London, and felt it was more worth the cost. If we were to have afternoon tea at this restaurant again, we would opt for the tea and scones option, which...

After a long day spent touring selected sites between Edinburgh Pitlochry, we arrived at the Fonab Hotel both tired hungry. We were able to book dinner at the Brasserie, later that evening, and were very happy with our experience. We were immediately entranced by the view of Loch Faskally the meal was terrific, as well. Everything was well prepared and the service was excellent. The Brasserie provided us with a wonderful ending to our first day in Scotland! Since we were staying at the Fonab Castle Hotel, breakfast in The Brasserie was included in our booking. Again, there was that wonderful view combined with a delicious selection of breakfast offerings. What a great way to start the day! P... Visualizza piatti

Despite the fact that the restaurant was completely empty, the staff seated us in the farthest corner next to a drafty emergency exit, facing booster seats and the dishwashing station behind the bar. This decision was confusing as we had requested a window table and were the only two people in the restaurant. It seemed like we could have easily been seated at one of the many empty tables with a view of the windows. After being asked for our wine order before even receiving a menu, and being offered coat check which was not followed through, we decided to hang up our coats ourselves. We ordered an expensive bottle of champagne that our server was not aware of, prompting them to get the sommel...

This was our first visit to Fonab Castle and sadly our experience fell short of what we were expecting from a 5 Star establishment. We were meeting up with 3 other family members for a light lunch in the Brasserie. The welcome at the main entrance was excellent and certainly cannot be faulted. this also applied to the welcome from Viola on entering the dining area. The quality of the food was of a good standard but our experience was badly let down by the air conditioning and the poor quality of service. We had to ask for the air conditioning to be switched off as the cold air was making us very uncomfortable. Some of the sliding windows were also open so why the air conditioning was one is...

"We stumbled across this place on the last night of a fortnight in Scotland and couldn 't be more glad that we did and that they had space. We were seated promptly (underneath the fan thankfully considering the heatwave), asked whether we 'd eaten there before (we hadn 't), had the menu explained to us (suggested 3 tapas per person) and then left alone briefly to consider the menu. Once ordered, drinks were delivered in a timely fashion, followed by breads dips to tempt tide us over until our tapas arrived. It wasn 't very quick, but I didn 't think it was unduly long either just the right length of time for non fast food that is being prepared freshly. And when it arrived, we were delighted as it was delicious! The only slight disappointment was that salted cod wasn 't available, but that was soon forgotten. My personal favourite was the poached chorizo in red wine with honey glaze, but we were happy with all of our options (patatas bravas, haggis balls, pinchas de pollo, spinach chickpea stew, haddock in red pepper sauce and Spanish tortilla the latter really made by the spicy tomato salsa on the side). 5 between the two of us would probably have sufficed, which would have meant I had space for one of the ice creams, but in hindsight, I 'm glad I didn 't. Excellent service, delicious food, our best meal of our holiday. We probably won 't be back (living in Birmingham and all) but definitely would if we were local."
