We ate here for lunch and it was great! Really interesting menu with a lot of thought put in. The food was great, obviously prepared on site and with good quality ingredients. I think we all had difficulty choosing what to eat - that is a good thing!

Our 1st visit last Saturday early evening. Food and service was top notch . Especially when the next table was noisy. The young staff handled well as they escorted us up stairs to have our sweet and coffee. If all goes well we will be back next year

This is mine and my partner's favourite place to eat on Shetland. The amount of times people have asked 'wheres good to eat?' No question, the answer is always no88. The food is phenomenal and the service is flawless but what really stands out is just how at home you are made to feel from the moment you step in. Words really don't do this business justice. It's a try and see to believe.

Excellent menu with freshly and flavorfully prepared food. Quite creative and delicious takes on some of the standard Shetland fare. Staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful. After dinner I headed upstairs where they have an equally lovely cocktail lounge for a pre or post dinner drink too.

Top-shelf dining in Lerwick. Make a booking ahead of time, and prepare for a delicious, locally-sourced meal. Fabulous.

Do not miss an opportunity to eat here while in Lerwick! The food was absolutely gorgeous, truly exceptional. We had the 9hr beef brisket and the hake. Sweet Jesus what a meal! Great drinks options and the staff were so perceptive and friendly. Great to see very young staff that are so capable.

This is the most impressive place that I have eaten in the whole of Shetland. The portions were perfect and the cleanliness and professionalism that was put in to this small, yet plentiful menu is of high standards. A bit more on the expensive side, but the quality of the food matches that price tag well. All sourced locally too. 💯

Yes. Really nice atmosphere. The staff got me seated straight away without booking. Seafood Linguine to die for. Perfect prawns, mussels and squid with the perfectly cooked pasta. Lovely all round lunch. Will recommend to all. Thanks
