When we opened our restaurant in May 2007 we were delighted at the response from resident guests, day visitors to the island and Shetland locals alike, and our chef and his team go from strength to strength.

The lounge bar is also a venue for live music - and especially traditional music - performed by islanders, all making for a really relaxed and special atmosphere.
