Brilliant fish and chips. Homemade with a lovely crunch to the chips. Fish was flakey and and a light batter. We sat on the jetty and watched the world go by. What an absolute gem. A must when you get off the ferry.

Completely delicious food. Scallops cooked to perfection, mussels were flavoursome and also cooked perfectly. Chips are spot on. The bacon & scallop bap/sandwich is a must try. Super friendly & helpful staff members

Perfect stop for food before hopping on the ferry to Iona. Generous portions.

The food here was amazing! Staff were friendly and made us aware of a slight wait which was absolutely fine as the tables had the best view of Iona. Can't wait to try again!

Had a delicious feed of salt & pepper squid and haddock n chips. Both were super fresh and so tasty. Setting is amazing as right by ferry to Iona. Staff were lovely and friendly.

This little seafood bar never disappoints. 3 visits this week & the food was excellent every time. Had the deep fried salt & pepper squid with chips today, which was fantastic. Very friendly staff with a great view. Looking forward to visiting again next year. Many thanks.

A great place to grab a hot meal as you leave the Iona ferry. Food was prepared to order and tasty. We would have eaten here multiple times if we had stayed in the area longer.

Awesome little stop off for tea after a day trip to Iona, the food was cooked to perfection and portions very generous with very friendly staff. Food service times were 12:30 - 18:30 (as of September '24) and contrary to an earlier review, card payments are taken.
