I really wanted to enjoy our visit, as the staff were genuinely excellent – friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout, which made the experience pleasant on a service level. Unfortunately, the food itself was a big let-down. The lobster and prawns were overcooked, and the crab and mussels were largely tasteless, which was very disappointing given the expectations and price point. Overall, the service deserves praise, but the seafood quality and execution didn’t match it, and sadly it wasn’t the dining experience we had hoped for.

Who doesn't love excellent fish and chips? and they don't come better than those provided at the Carb and Lobster in South Queensferry. The staff are friendly and attentive the food is excellent and value for money. Fast becoming one of the best places to eat in SQ.

Good great food and friendly staff. That said , the member of staff that took us to our table notice Id said in my booking that it was my friend’s 95th but not even a little small dessert was given. I had to go up to ask for coffee as no one was around too

Only 2 niggles. 1) drinks menu states Coca Cola is 335mls. Price £4.25. But bottle only 330mls and bill charged £4.25. 2) special was cod which my husband selected but price of special not informed before ordering. The price might put some people off. However food was great… especially sticky toffee pudding. The niggles are very small,and won’t put us off returning. Only checked price of Coca Cola because it’s not available on draft.

Loved the interior of the restaurant. I had scampi and chips. Pretty mediocre. Could have gone to a local chip shop for the same meal at half the price. Rest of the party had monkfish but weren't too impressed. I hate olives but shared olives with my friend, they were fabbie. My husband had calamari but it was far too chewy. Maybe we wrong dishes.

Food and service was first class; we both had the special scallops with caviar in a Thermidor sauce which were amazing, I had the special of the day which was the monkfish with crab gratin and it was a big bit of fish and off the scale on taste. We will be back for dinner soon
