    First time of visiting since changing to The Stravaig and we were bowled over at the changes. We were greeted upon entering and ushered thru to a booth which as a party of four was ideal for us celebrating our son's birthday ( we kept quiet about that!) Drinks and food orders taken quickly by pleasant and friendly staff. Cocktails were tasty , desserts super tasty and everyone enjoyed their mains . I knocked off one star for my meal which should have been haddock goujons and instead got a huge piece of battered haddock , so yes still fish but too much for me to eat as I have a small appetite .I am being picky and maybe being unfair at knocking off a star. However the meal was still tasty and we will certainly be back....maybe for lunch or breakfast as the menu's all looks fab.
