Fell upon this restaurant after shopping in the Gunwharf Quays complex, and well, we could not fault it! From the very warm welcome from the maitre d, she convinced us to have some oysters and champagne in the bar while a table became available (despite it being 7pm the restaurant was already full - on a Monday?!). Our waitress came over and suggested some of the dishes to us as we just couldn't decide. My wife opted for a dorade which was served on a bed of fennel with two very large scallops and I opted for selection of their salmons - which the waitress proudly told us were smoked in their own smokehouse in Loch Fyne. Both of the meals were fantastic, cooked to perfection, with a dollop of homemade mash on the side. The staff although they were busy were all very friendly and happy to help, they even organised our taxi home. A great find, we have been back 3 times since in as many weeks, and have found each meal as good as the first. Peter

My husband took me to Loch Fyne in Gunwharf Quays for our first anniversary to revisit the place where he proposed to me. Both occasions were very romantic and made even more special by the friendly staff and lovely ambience. We shared a shellfish platter which was spectacularly presenated using excellent quality shellfish. I recommend this restaurant to anyone and will personally be going back soon.
