Came here on 21st June for my birthday, booked as a surprise by my wife. What an incredible place! Jaw dropping views from its hilltop location across the sands, super friendly staff, great service and amazing food. Saw 3 eagles from our window table during the meal and were then treated to a spectacular sunset. Honestly can't recommend this place highly enough and would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Will undoubtedly be back.
Our dining experience here was superb and the three courses were well worth the price. We chose a bottle of Chablis which perfectly complemented the dishes we ate. The scallop that was part of my starter was the best I've ever tasted and every course was perfection. The pineapple dessert with mini 'doughnuts' was unexpected and divine. Excellent food and wonderful warm, friendly and unpretentious service is one thing, but the sunset view over stunning Uig Sands combined to result in a truly unforgettable meal. 3 courses for us both and a decent bottle of wine came in at 200, which for a special meal whilst on holiday, we thought was well worth it. When we return to Lewis & Harris we'll absolutely dine at Uig Sands Restaurant again.
We dined here last night as an early birthday meal for my husband. The location is stunning and despite the weather, it was still a great and interesting view from the table. The food was probably the best we have eaten all year, the smoked salmon starter was fantastic, the scallops main course on special was phenomenal and the lamb dish also great. Desserts felt a little underwhelming compared to the starters and mains, they were still very good but one complaint would be the popcorn served with the “donuts” was slightly burnt and the taste was then overpowering. Despite this I would still return even at the price of 75pp. I did feel the drinks prices were slightly off, 9.50 for a single gin and bottle of tonic water is very steep, I don’t think the prices should be so high when the meal is already on the pricey side.
This is an amazing venue with amazing staff, my daughter got married here last week and the setting is stunning. The staff couldn't have done enough to make the event so special. The food was delicious. 5 stars all round.
A superb location with stunning views. A beautiful restaurant with friendly staff. An awesome menu with a great drinks card. A great dining experience and value for money. We can‘t wait to return! Highly recommended
This is more a dining experience than a place to eat. The food was outstanding at my time of life I thought I had enjoyed most things good. Apparently not, this was the best I've ever tasted. Don't hesitate to book a table here it is worth every penny!
Uig Sands is a very special place. The scenery is beautiful and the hospitality was very accommodating. I will definitely go back.
I had the pleasure of dining at Uig Sands Restaurant, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, the meal was nothing short of incredible. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and each dish felt thoughtfully crafted with fresh, local ingredients. The chowder may have been the best food I’d ever eaten. The atmosphere of the restaurant, overlooking the stunning views of Uig Sands, added a magical touch to the entire evening. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience without being intrusive. Whether you’re a food enthusiast or just looking for a memorable meal in a breathtaking setting, Uig Sands Restaurant is a must-visit.
