Enjoyed the atmosphere here. Dog friendly which is a bonus. Food was good too, a classic cafe selection and quick service. The servers were lovely too. Would come back.

This has to be a contender for the most scenic view from the picture windows on the upper floor.....in Scotland. Pick a sunny day. Food

Hugely disappointed with Sun Dancer, we’re in Nairn for 3 nights visiting from Edinburgh, we booked two nights at the Sun dancer as we’d visited and enjoyed dinner last year. Tonight was so disappointing, it was dire. I had the fish and chips, it should have not left the kitchen, not sure what quality control the chef has in place but any decent chef would not send out a dish with chips under cooked and fish with batter that was soggy and bland! I’m not sure if the fish had been frozen and the chips certainly suggested they were frozen. When you are in a party of 4 you don’t want to spoil the atmosphere by complaining but I ate little and did mention to the waitress when the plates were taken, her response was oh they like to get feedback! Really! .. she should have removed it from the bill! My friends mother had lemon posset! It was awful, hard and not as a posset should be, we did complain about that and to be fair to them they removed from the bill. We left a gratuity as it’s not the waiting staff’s issue however, being so disappointed with the quality of food and responses from staff, I unfortunately would not like to go back!

Where better to have lunch on a sunny day than at Nairn Harbour upstairs in the Sun Dancer restaurant. Good food and relaxed ambiance along with attentive staff.

OUTSTANDING!!!! I think Marge and her son have absolutely nailed this. WELL DONE!!! Great staff, fantastic location, impeccable modern well thought out establishment. The views are spectacular, the food is the best part , it is just sublime! I can see why they have won two consecutive awards. The food and drinks are not over priced, the portion size was in my opinion generous compared to many others on a like for like basis. The staff where great. A friendly inviting atmosphere with a genuine family touch. A special shout out to Lauren at the bar as well, staff that good really do make one heck of a difference and she was exceptional. I cant wait to go back!

Highly recommend. Welcoming, lovely atmosphere, with the added bonus of a window seat! The food was scrumptious, with good portion sizes. The speed of service was on point, really friendly and polite - thank you, we will definitely return. Mr&MrsB.

Visited last week with my wife. Very warm greeting, excellent service and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend. If I could make a suggestion it would be to turn off the background music when the restaurant is busy. I had to take my hearing aids out to lower the noise of everyone chatting. :)

This restaurant is situated right on the sea front in Nairn. We were fortunate to be given a window seat from where we could look out over the sands and the sea. The service was attentive and the food well-presented and tasty.
A lovely location with views out to Moray Firth made the most of by this spacious modern building. The menu was good and food well executed. The service was friendly. A good option for people with mobility issues as there's access via a lift and the dining room is spacious.Wheelchair accessibility: A spacious, flat dining area makes for good access plus there's a lift to the restaurant. Some disabled parking available.

Family have raved about this place, so eventually got around to trying it. Being a foody and having been lucky to have travelled, I've sampled many a menu. London Paris Milan NYC Vegas. Have to say the homely welcome and service is 5*. The balance of quality and relaxed surroundings is perfect. Not to mention the view. The food was outstanding. Each family member selected a different meal and didn't leave disappointed. Darlene was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. Can not recommend enough
