A busy place with good food. I had the crab salad which was excellent and my wife had Monk fish which was also good. We will come back to sample the other dishes

The restaurant has been refurbished beautifully, service was very good, our starters were very tasty ( haggis fritters and burrata) then we both had fish and chips. I asked for my fish without batter and it was simply grilled with butter, it could have done with more seasoning. We couldn’t manage dessert as the portions were very large. Had a problem getting the bill then actually paying the bill.

Very welcoming restaurant, staff are helpful. If like me you would rather not have your fish battered, you can have breadcrumbs instead. So glad i asked, the fish was perfect. We had the crab nachos, very generous portion enough for two to share as a starter.

The lobster tasted nice but disappointed it didnt look like it does in the photo and a very small portion for the price. I had the king prawn battered scampi and a portion of chips as a main course, it tasted lovely, but 4 prawns in more of a breadcrumb than a batter was a bit disappointing, I was expecting larger king prawns and wish i had chosen the fish supper instead because it looked lovely when I seen it being brought out for other customers. The waitress who served us was very knowledgable , but she didnt come back to check if our food was ok,another server came over with table water with ice and cucumber which was very refreshing and a nice touch. My partner asked for a pint of coke and was a bit suprised when a small bottle with a glass full of ice came instead, (it probly equated to a pint with the ice in it and the price was £4.25 )he said i asked fr a pint the server said sorry we dont do draught coke only bottled,the waitress who served us hadnt mentioned that if she hadve we wouldve known what to expect. You can see the chefs cooking the food,(should have beards covered though) the waiting staff are attentive and helpful, the atmosphere was good although the music volume couldve been bit lower and more relaxing. The toilets were very clean and overall the service was good, chips were perfect , food served quickly and tasted lovely, just not enough of it for the price. A lovely place to eat aa a treat for ypurself or someone you love and make sure you order 3 courses and take plenty money 🤩

Delightful first visit. Haggis fritter starter was amazing. The battered haddock was fresh , moist and tasty. The tartare sauce with the fish and curry sauce with the chips were perfect. Couldn’t manage a dessert. WWill
