If the Lochindaal Hotel Restaurant is the same place as the Loch Indaal Seafood Kitchen, then we ate there and had the most amazing Seafood Platter for £100 on 19th July 2020. You order the seafood platter in advance and you get whatever is available locally at market fresh on the day, so it may differ from day to day as to what exactly is on your platter. Boy is it worth every penny of £100. It is supposed to be for two persons but would easily feed four. The platter is huge and ours was filled with two crabs, six crab claws, a whole lobster, scallops, and about 8 large langoustines. You also get chips and a small side salad with it. Everything was cooked to perfection. The Islay IPA was ic...
Seafood Kitchen restaurant: the food was wonderful and they do serve dishes other than seafood garlic mushrooms on toast with stilton sauce, delicious, I had this as my starter 2 nights running Home made Steak Pie, nice, though more like a hotpot Cullen Skink soup, my friend and I both had this as our main course one night Katie's Fish Pie, my friend said if she was at home she would have licked the plate! All meals were lovely, as were the breakfasts. free range eggs I noticed, by the yellowness of my scrambled eggs. There was a lovely roaring fire too. We would definitely consider coming back another time
We ate here as a family of 5. The steak pie, mussels and fish stew were superb as were the starters. The £100 seafood platter was a bit of a let down though. The emphasis appears to be on quantity rather than quality. The scallops were good and the lobster was OK. The crab claws and prawns weren't great at all though. A couple of the crab claws smelt of ammonia and the prawns smelled suspect too. The staff were friendly and the service was good, but the overall experience was marred by the platter. Serves me right for for having crustaceans when there is no r in the month?
We had a fabulous lunch at the Lochindaal Seafood Kitchen on Islay. Same company as the Lochindaal Hotel, but separate venue just along the road. My seafood plate (order 24 hours in advance) was superb; as fresh as you can get with a generous portion or crab, langoustines, scallops, chips, salad and bread. For £25 this was fantastic value; the venue was lovely and the staff couldn’t be more friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are ever in the area!

The gas cooker had failed on my camper van, and when I called to order my evening meal, I was told the kitchen was too busy for a 'collection '. After letting the restaurant know that I 'd be going hungry, the team were really helpful and took my order. Thank you again .. it was appreciated.
Had a lovely meal here with my husband, staff were great, fast service and very friendly environment , meals were very tasty and nothing was too much trouble, highly recommend, will definitely return .

Eating out has obviously been very limited over the past year so it was a real pleasure to have lunch at the Lochindaal. Good fresh fish and efficient and friendly service
