The Islay
Description
Nestled in Port Ellen, this restaurant offers a mixed bag of dining experiences. While some guests rave about the fantastic food, including the Gigha halibut and sumptuous desserts like the Lagavulin crème brûlée, others have faced challenges with service and food quality. A few patrons encountered issues with incorrect meal preparations and unfriendly staff, which dampened their experience. However, many noted the welcoming atmosphere, friendly service, and attention to dietary needs, such as gluten-free options. Overall, it’s a popular spot, particularly for those who can secure a table early, amidst a shortage of dining choices on Islay.
