“( + ) fresh seafood that's a step up from the standard fish'n'chips available anywhere else, in a restaurant with a great view and attentive service. Recommend the scallops on black pudding. ( - ) All of our food lacked seasoning (nothing was salted), the environment is quite loud (cocktail shakers clacking, loud conversation, cavernous space). Expensive for what it is.”

“Had dinner here two weeks ago with my partner celebrating our anniversary. We were seated by the window & had really friendly service from Lacey! She gave us recommendations on what to pick from the menu & gave us an idea of things to do around Nairn afterwards. I had the sirloin steak & my partner had the 1/2 lobster which were both cooked perfectly! Overall absolutely recommend eating here, nice atmosphere & worth the money! Thank you!”

“Beautiful lunch at the Sun Dancer today. Trout cooked to perfection and husbands choice of chicken was delicious. Apple crumble possibly the best I’ve had. Service first class thanks Liam and George for looking after us so well.”
