Customer Review Summary

Reaching the island by boat is the draw reviewers raise most, whether on the restaurant's ferry from the mainland or by mooring a private boat. Diners call it a unique, fun way to arrive, and the loch views get repeated praise. Close behind is the food in generous portions: a casserole, fish, beef and haggis burgers, and chicken pakora and haggis starters, plus desserts, local beers, and plenty of gin and whiskey. Staff are described as friendly and accommodating. The caveats are specific. One reviewer describes a long wait for the food, though they found it fantastic. Another was disappointed by only seven or eight chips on the plate, and a dog owner wished water had been offered and found the sign about sandy or wet shoes unwelcoming. One suggests allowing extra time when renting a boat. A few finish with a walk, up to the island's highest point or through the sheep field after dinner.

“Beautiful scenery. Lovely to access a restaurant via boat, felt very new and fun. The staff were fine, the decor is fine, it was a long long wait for the food BUT the food was FANTASTIC! Really great, and in the end worth the wait and the novelty of the boating up to it. If renting a boat on Loch Lomond allow extra time to include a trip to Inchmurrin Restaurant.”

“Excellent food and generous portions. The staff were very accommodating and couldn’t have been more helpful. It’s definitely also worth going for a walk up to the highest point on the island for some excellent views of the loch.”

“Fantastic experience from start to finish. We got picked up on the boat from arden and had the best food I have ever had. Will definitely be back. The Scott family are so friendly and happy to help out. We took a nice walk after dinner too through the sheep field.”

“A wonderful experience from start to finish! We booked via the phone and were given clear instructions on how to get to the pick up point. The boat came and took us and 2 other couples over to the island (£8 pp added to the bill). There were lots of great food and drink choices (lots of gin and whiskey) on the menu. We had three courses and all of them were delicious. Would very much recommend. A brilliant evening.”

“Arrived here with our little boat, plenty of places to moor. Or you can get a ferry from the mainland if you call ahead and book a table. Staff were very friendly, food was nice, service was fast and the restaurant is full of interesting information about the loch and island. It would have been nice to have been offered some water for the dog and the wording on the sign at the entrance is a bit unwelcoming. "No wet suits" that's fine. "No sandy or wet shoes" could have been "Please clean and dry your shoes/feet on your way in"... all good though. Well worth a visit.”

“Great place to dine, infact the adventure of the boat over and the scenery was great, the casserole was great, huge helping, the fish my wife had was really good, but disappointed with amount of chips on the plate 7 or 8 maybe. Starters we had the chicken Pakora and the haggis, no complaints from that. Reasonably price for a restaurant. Would I go again? Yes probably on a dry day to be able to walk around the island.”

“Absolutely loved our time at Inchmurrin Restaurant! We took the ferry offered by the restaurant over to the island which was great. We had the beef and haggis burgers which were delicious and lovely desserts. The restaurant overlooks the loch with stunning views. The food was very reasonably priced and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend visiting- so worth it!”

“Rare that I would give full starts but this restaurant was very deserving. Scene set on a picturesque Island in the middle of Loch Lomond what more can you want for a place to be. It was warm and ambient. The team members of staff throughout were so friendly and helpful too. The food was served perfectly and very tasty too. The value was so worth every penny and the convenience of paying for the boat from the mainland to the Island at the restaurant added that extra help to relax. Amazing restaurant staff and food and great views wherever you sat. Top marks. Thank you”
