About

The Bothy is a polarizing spot that leans into a high-end vibe. Many guests love the live music and the unique, rustic-modern decor. The food, especially the seafood, gets high marks for flavor, though some diners feel the prices are a bit steep for the portion sizes. Service is generally praised, but there are reports of inconsistent pacing and some friction regarding the owners' presence.
