The Seabed restaurant at the Anchor Hotel in Tarbert offers a mixed dining experience. While some dishes like the venison haunch are cooked to perfection, others like the steak pie fall short. Inconsistent quality and pricing issues have been reported, but the welcoming staff and ample portions are highlights. Overall, the dining experience at Seabed can vary, making it a hit-or-miss choice for visitors in Tarbert.

This was a lovely dinner, very little to fault. The service was pleasant, quick and not obtrusive. We both had the venison burgers which were very tasty. The combination of venison with goat’s cheese blended really well and the chips were very crisp and tasty. My wife had an affogato, a very simple dessert which was nicely presented and just the right proportions of espresso and ice cream. A glass of house red wine rounded it off nicely. We will eat here again

Really nice restaurant which is part of the Anchor Hotel in Central Tarbert. Good varied menu, with nice pleasant staff. Food was good, beer was good and the cost was not expensive. Worth a visit if in Tarbet.
