    Food was hot when it came out but quite quickly cooled down as brought out most tapas all together - potatoes bravas very tasty but cod was so skimpy as were the other fish dishes we had. It works out expensive as you need to order a few dishes that mounts up. Wine was disappointing not the best value for money as pretty tasteless. Service excellent

    We absolutely love going to the Ferry Selkie, as coeliacs it can sometimes be hard to get a consistently good meal with lots of options - but essentially all of the food in the Selkie is gluten free! Staff are always smiley and helpful, service is quick and food is delicious. Only thing I would say was the music was a bit too loud when we came in, but it might have been because we were the first table in - would absolutely recommend a visit!

    Lovely food however we were made to feel quite rushed to leave. We were unaware of the 90 min rule but after only 1 hour and 10 mins our server was at the table with our bill. We hadn’t finished our food or our drink and felt under pressure to hurry up and leave. Understand it’s a small setting but would suggest making customers aware of their time limit on arrival and a slightly more polite way of ending the meal than standing with the bill before we had finished eating.

    Lovely food, only one thing missing was the truffle oil on the mushroom crostini. Half price Tuesday is definitely a winner Lovely welcoming staff but slightly chaotic service. Really looking forward to our next visit.
