My wife and I had a great visit tonight. Attentive and polite staff, not overbearing, options explained, recommendations given. Food was lovely we ordered way too much but delicious non the less. Won’t be our last visit that’s for sure.

Very good seafood choices. One of our group didn't eat fish. Only one choice which was sausages, which they found tasty. Lovely venue and staff.

Mid-week treat/date night. Crab nachos amazing and mussels for hubby - delicious - wasn't too busy, service was good and quick - very enjoyable. (Car Park hadn't been gritted and was black ice all over - but can't control the weather especially in Scotland)

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.
