It’s simple really, our calling card is sustainable Scottish seafood.

Our name comes from the Gaelic word for fish. It’s a wee bit tricky to pronounce, but it’s no bother if guests don’t get it quite right. With delicious fresh produce served by our very own Head Chef, Sean Currie, you'll feel the energy in the way we go about things – our warm welcome, enthusiasm for what we do, and, of course, a splash of Glaswegian banter.

Serving sustainable Scottish seafood is at the heart of everything we do. That’s why £1 on every bill goes to The Firth Forth Lobster Hatchery, who hatch, rear and release lobsters to ensure stocks remain plentiful for future generations. Sea more on Instagram: @lobsterhatchery

Lovely spot, beautiful dining room. Friendly staff. Food was nice, mum enjoyed the vegetarian dish (enoki). I had the duck - the breast and cause were nice. Would be a lovely spot for afternoon tea.

The food was good, but the service was dreadful. The drinks order was taken and waited at least a full 10 minutes to receive them, one of the starters arrived before our first drinks … a beer and wine I might add. Only two of our party had dessert when the server put the plates down she just placed them in the middle of the table and walked away, didn’t even put them to the correct people. We felt not wanted at all. Additionally, having a salad leaf as a garnish on a dessert was not pleasant

Food was nice, service could have been better. We weren’t offered the festive menu either, despite it being on their website.

Beautiful restaurant and lovely staff. Food portions were small for the price. Monkfish was overcooked and dry. A bit disappointing but I still enjoyed my lunch experience.

We waited 45 minutes before we were served and that is only due to me getting the attention of a server. The restaurant was exceptionally busy. We had an afternoon tea which was lovely and the food was delicious. We enjoyed our afternoon only downside was that nobody noticed our group and we waited 45 minutes before our orders were taken. However overall the ambience was beautiful and a lovely afternoon.

UPDATE 13/12/24 I’m afraid that my husband who had the GF afternoon tea was obviously glutened presumably via cross contamination. He’s been very unwell so won’t be returning. Wasn’t particularly busy but service was a bit slow - perhaps the Tottenham football team & entourage was the main focus. Had hoped for a better overall experience for my 70th but hey ho.

I tried the squash risotto, it was delicious! I paired it with the garlic broccoli and fried whole potatoes: the perfect hearty dinner for a cold night in Glasgow. The waiters were very attentive and friendly and the place is gorgeous. The perfect spot to gather with friends or for a date. They don't have a wide selection of wines I have to say, but this is common in many restaurants throughout Scotland.
