The Buttery

Just returned from having the most wonderful lunch at the buttery. Food was well presented,fresh and very tasty.Waiting staff could not have been more attentive, I had pigeon breast with coliflower puree then pork with goats cheese crust and beetroot, excellent! on site parking a real bonus, Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

Went for a meal in December. Bought from the lunch menu. Food was fantastic and the service was discreet and attentive. Absolutely outstanding.

Halfway through my meal I had to get up walk outside and strench my legs having been crammed into a corner for 90 minutes sitting on a seat that had seen better days 50 years ago.

I was driving and was only offered wine or water, wonder if there were other drinks to be had. My wife had wine, pretty poor quality but high priced.

We both had the same meal, the Cullen Skink soup was OK but I've had alot better in Oban. The Hallibut was just about cold and I could not tell what the topping was, although recognised the peas it rested on. The fish itself had lost alot of its flavour whilst cooling down in the kitchen.

Sweet was good, although the petit fours we received were of lower quality than those on the table across the way.

The service, not bad, but why did I have to ask for more water, did they not have enough jugs?

Will not be rushing back to the Buttery, no wonder the car park was nearly empty. Felt sorry for those who invited us.

We saw a review for this restaurant in Olive magazine and decided to try it. We were extremely glad we did. The staff were very friendly and informative and bent over backwards to help us with food and drink choices. The menu was for a set lunch with the choice of a la carte, but the choices on the set menu were so good no one needed that choice. The set menu was £16.00 a head for a 3 course lunch. I started with parma ham with artichoke hearts and rocket salad, my fellow diners had the red pepper and chilli soup and the smoked salmon with olives and capers, all were tasty and beautifully presented. For mains we ate succulant chicken with nut and apricot stuffing, sea bass on champ mash with tomato salsa and cod with a cheesy crust all with seasonal vegetables. Deserts of orange chocolate pots all round, rounded off a gastranomical delight. We finnished off with coffees with petit fours which was topped up as much as we liked and we even got extra petit fours. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough I guarantee you wont be disappointed.
