The restaurant’s setting takes full advantage of its marina-side location. A large outdoor terrace provides an open-air dining option, ideal for enjoying the views across Loch Fyne. Indoors, the space is designed to accommodate a range of dining occasions, whether you’re stopping in for a casual meal or a more leisurely experience. The combination of indoor and outdoor seating makes it a flexible choice for visitors.

Dishes range from hearty classics to lighter options, with seafood, meats, and vegetarian choices all represented. The restaurant also offers a children’s menu, catering to family dining.
Why not start with the likes of homemade focaccia garlic bread with a chilli and herb relish, or twice-baked haddock and cheddar souffle before moving onto slow-cooked Isle of Bute lamb with smoked potato mash and salsa verde or fish of the day with potato terrine and a lemon and chive butter sauce. There's plenty of options for vegetarians too, with options such as courgette, pea and mint arancini with parmesan cream, or homemade potato gnocchi in a red pepper sauce with ricotta. Desserts are particularly indulgent with options such as lemon posset with raspberry compote or sticky toffee pudding with toffee sauce and clotted cream.
Booking is recommended, particularly for those wanting to secure a spot on the terrace. The restaurant’s location within the Portavadie complex makes it a convenient option for guests staying on-site or visiting the marina.
