What Morris F likes about The Bothy Restaurant And Bar:
In contrast to many recent negative reviews, our group of four had a good experience in the dining room. There was a full menu, in contrast to many establishments with limited menus due to staff shortages. Greeting and service throughout was fine. The food was good— nothing to complain about. Facing off with the crowds in little Fort Augustus you can feel lucky just to find a place to eat, but this was actually quite... View all feedback. What CornishTimes doesn't like about The Bothy Restaurant And Bar:
We ordered our food and it arrived at our table within minutes. It was faster than a typical Wetherspoons meal. The chips seemed to be frozen, and the vegetarian chicken dish must have been precooked as it was unlikely to have been prepared from scratch in such a short time. Overall, the food was mediocre and not particularly impressive. We paid £30 for two meals. View all feedback.

The customer service at this restaurant is appalling. It seems like the only thing they are efficient with is knowing when the kitchen opens and closes. I was v...

Located in the picturesque Fort Augustus, Bothy Restaurant Bar has garnered a reputation for mixed dining experiences. Recent patrons report a series of unfortunate service incidents, including unwelcoming staff interactions and unprofessional behavior, leaving some diners feeling undervalued. Despite these concerns, others have praised the quality and portion sizes of the food, describing their meals as hearty and enjoyable. The restaurant's appealing location by the canal locks is an added bonus, though the long wait times and inconsistent service may deter repeat visits. Overall, both the kitchen and front-of-house staff appear to fluctuate between excellent and disappointing service.
