In The Park - Highland

Hotel restaurants do not always do well as ‘restaurants’ they are an adjunct to the main event. The more remote hotels can be hit or miss but the Park restaurant at the Loch Ness Country House Hotel is definitely in the former category: a hotel that runs a very good restaurant. The menu is fairly limited but the quality and presentation of the food is first class. The vegetarian option tends to be risotto and dessert options include a good cheese plate. Staff are very friendly and the service good. It’s on the expensive side (e.g. £4 for a small pot of tea), but I presume that people who book know this in advance!

Booked a birthday meal here for 2 people at 8pm on Saturday. We were left seated in the waiting area for an hour before we were taken to our table at 9pm, staff didn't explain why were were seated so late. When the food did come out it was a case of style over substance, a note to the chef if you are going to try and make your food look fancy at least make sure it tastes good first. The food served to us was cold, tasteless and utterly disappointing. They are trying to be too big for their boots, I would've rather had a simple dish that tasted great than something that looked great but lacked in everything else. AVOID. I will never return here.

Attended this restaurant for a social club Christmas Dinner. The menu was limited for choice but that was fine: after all, it was a Christmas dinner. The table decorations were tasteful and inventive and there was plenty of space in the dining room. The different dishes were very well presented but what impressed me most was that each of the tables received all the dishes, for that table, at the same time so no-one was left waiting for their food while watching others tucking in. Who hasn't endured that, while attending a group function?

The food at this hotel was out of this world good!!! My husband and I ended up eating most of our meals here during our stay as it was much better than anything we found in town! the wait staff is also very knowledgeable about drink pairing.

Visited with friends and had a very enjoyable time. The food was excellent and we were very well looked after. Exceptionally good value for money. Will certainly visit again if in the area and might well stay.
