A lovely family-run fine dining restaurant!Exclusive experience, they only host few tables per night, so hostess is really attentive, endeavor to give you best servicesFood is fabulous, fresh and good quality ingredients , well-cooked and beautifully-dished.3 courses with many nibbles will definitely make you satisfied, we couldn’t take breakfast or big lunch next day?

Very unique but amazing. The service was outstanding and I can honestly say I have never experienced anything like it before. The place was fully booked but we were the only people in for an hour which I believe is so they can devote service to just you.We will be back.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options should that be your thing in a seafood restaurant.

You cannot get a more unique dining experience. The food is fabulous, the service is impeccable. In addition to ordering a one, two or three course meal, you are servedt a bread basket with special butters, three mini courses - we chose smoked salmon pate, soup in a tiny cup- mushroom or cullen skink, asparagus with hollandaise or oyster in a frozen bloody mary and a palate cleanser mid way. We had a view of the beach, Dornoch Firth, Northern Scotland beyond and passersby the window. Sounds of the sea were piped in with the occasional cry of a whale and the faint sound of rolling waves. The dining room is filled with bottles (of any kind of liquor you could imagine and nautical curiosities. Beautiful mermaids and sea animals painted on the walls. The food is beautifully presented and tasty. I had duck leg confit with walnut and my husband had smoked salmon starter and then seafood thermidor. We shared a side order of french fries with duck fat mayonnaise. For dessert I had a trifle with drambuie cream and fresh raspberries. To die for. We have visited Dornoch 5 times and every time we get a reservation at the Oystercatcher well before our visit. We wouldn't miss the experience. Very special.

Absolutely amazing!! The service is astounding. So conscientious and friendly and thoughtful. The food is beautiful and cooked to perfection
Four of us went off chance to the Oyster Catcher and had the most memorable meal of Lobster and white wine finished with 6 of the marvellous selection of Whiskies Luckily the stairs to the bedrooms were not too steep and the beds were marvellously comfortable Breakfast of fried quails eggs I will never forget Great place Pity it is 750 miles from where we live on the South Coast of England

Unbelievably good food! Wonderful dining experience with so many delicious extra touches from a very imaginative and skilled chef. Homemade breads to die for and a mind blowing wine list. Tremendous value for money!

I have not had a better dining experience or meal in all of Europe. Everything about this place was better than expected. Fresh, exquisitely prepared food, wonderful (albeit miniature) tastings included with each meal, a whisky selection that could rival any place I’ve seen anywhere, and they were welcoming and accommodating to kids. Susan, the owner and wife of the chef, may seem pushy or uninterested, but I actually think she’s more kitschy than anything. She was wonderful! Go here…you’ll not be disappointed.
