    Best meal we've had in a very long time. Service was excellent food was excellent. A wee bit pricey, but we went for the two course evening meal which we felt was better value for money. We definitely recommend this restaurant

    Lovely early birthday celebration with Sunday lunch. Meal was delicious although the pork belly needed a gravy and/or apple sauce. The roast potatoes were not the best, bit floury. Seafood chowder was amazing. A little expensive for 2 course lunch with a glass of wine and a non alcoholic beer.

    Hello Jane, Thank you for leaving us a 5-star review! We are glad you enjoyed your early birthday celebrations. I will be sure to pass on your comments to management regarding value for money.

    First time visit with friends. What an amazing view across the Moray Firth. Ambience is just first class, tables with plenty of space between them. Staff is very friendly but not intrusive. The food was excellent and well presented. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back.

    Arrived 12.45. Shown to table drinks order taken.and supplied shortly afterwards .meal order taken 25 minutes later and ooserved at113.25. Delivery of service was not good . Ihave used the services of the Sundancer for some years and this is below the standard. Not only that , although I always give a gratuity according to my level of appreciation but to be asked to choose a percentage is not conducive to good service nor satisfied customers .

    Sunday menu of mainly roasts. No chicken left at start of evening. Prawn cocktail was small prawns from frozen and lettuce. No tomato or bread. No fish n chips available. Very poor compared to last visit. Only plus were the cocktails which were good.
