I have allergies but this place couldn't cater for me. I had to take an antihistamine when home as felt awful. I told them what my allergies were and the chef didn't take care as my food came with allergens.
We hoped there would be more fresh seafood on offer. We got the crab which was in batter which we were not expecting. It was nice just not amazing like we’d hoped. Staff were very attentive and polite especially when moving us when an elderly woman had vomitted all over the table we were sat next to. All in all it was ok but won’t rush back.
Fabulous food, service & atmosphere. We will be back thank you.
What an amazing place with fantastic staff Food was out of this world
Early evening meal with partner, daughter and son in law.. had asked for quiet area but the restaurant was very busy. Food v good to ok. Monkfish special highly rated by two of our party. Staff good and v patient dealing with customers at next table. Two adults with two of the most badly behaved children that I have ever encountered in a restaurant.
It was such a lovely place with a great ambience. My partner, who’s a seafood lover, absolutely enjoyed every bite. The food was delicious, and the team was incredibly friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Quan (if I’m not mistaken)- he was so kind, attentive, and patient in explaining everything to us. We’ll definitely be back again soon!
The food was amazing especially the tartar sauce and the crunchy batter on the fish. Staff were very attentive and prices reasonable
Love the food, really chilled out long lunch. Had the jumbo haddock & it was very good
Great parking. Nice bright decor. Fish and chips was the best I've had in years, the fish was super succulent and the batter light and crispy. Half lobster thermador excellent. Staff very attentive. Menu a wee bit restricted but overall a very pleasant experience that I would highly recommend.
Great food as usual we enjoyed the special monkfish dish
We visited the Lobster fish shack South Queensferry on Wednesday Oct 1st to have lunch. We were delighted with our choice. I had the gluten free fish and chips while my husband had the 55 club fish and chips lunch which is excellent value. The fish was beautifully cooked, so fresh and lovely crispy batter. Also had meringue dessert- fab chewy meringue with berry compote. We will definitely be back. Thank you
Lovely servers, 2 males, one female, polite, attentive, informative and friendly. Food was lovely.
Fantastic 10 out of 10. Fantastic food, service and atmosphere. Will definitely return when we are in the area. Highly recommend.
We had high hopes for this as our last outing before our baby arrives, doubled up with birthday celebrations. When we arrived the service was great shown quickly to the table and drinks order taken. Drinks arrived really quickly and were great. We were taken through the menu and lots of nice specials on. We ordered some starters which arrived quickly and were delicious. For main my partner went for the special, monkfish, and myself a half lobster (a first time try). When the food arrived my lobster looked great, not a massive portion but I have since found half lobster is normally even smaller!! My partner however received battered monkfish when he thought he would receive the special which was explained to have crab. It was tasty enough so we did not mention anything as we thought we maybe misunderstood the menu. However upon the bill arriving we were found to be charged for a whole lobster (which is apparently what I received, but did not order). The main reason for our low review is the service that was received afterwards. It took over 10 minutes for the bill to be corrected. Even then they attempted to give us the same bill back, it was corrected on the second ask however no apology was given. Our whole experience turned very awkward and not the night out we had planned! I’m not sure we will return which is a shame for a restaurant with nice offerings and lots more I would have liked to try.
The decor and atmosphere reminded me of a step-down from Red Lobster; more like a refurbished Denny's. The music choice did not seem appropriate and the volume was much too high. The service was ok except the server was confused and forgot to order our appetizer. . The flavor and presentation of the food was excellent. The shrimp and lobster was cooked perfectly. It seemed like a fair value for the price. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and I would recommend this restaurant to my friends.
Food was good . Choice of beers poor. Wine was very expensive for 175ml glass

Our second visit amazing restaurant, great atmosphere and fantastic food
Very friendly staff. Food was excellent. Our 2nd visit and very impressed. Definitely would cone again
We recently visited the restaurant and enjoyed the overall experience; however, one noticeable issue was the strong smell of cooking fat throughout the dining area. Unfortunately, this lingered on our clothes after we left, which was quite unpleasant. As the kitchen is open to the diners, it might be helpful to increase the extractor fan levels or improve ventilation to reduce the smell spreading into the restaurant and onto our clothes. This small change would make a big difference to the comfort of guests and the overall dining experience.
Excellent service.Warm decor.Food well presented and fresh. Good options menu

First time trying in here & loved it! SeaFood was cooked perfect & chips were outstanding! Defo recommend.
Great food, excellent customer service, ambience was great too. Good value for money, would throughly recommend. One small suggestion, please supply tooth picks 👌
The Lobster I ordered was very small and the amount of meat was similar to a large prawn, and tough. I raised my concern with the waiter. he said sorry and then disappeared. I also raised it with other staff and all I got was sorry. I paid the bill and left.
Friendly, attentive staff. Delicious food, excellent value for money. First visit and will be back.
Service and food was amazing, at least 1 veggie main course option would be a nice addition to the menu as we had a vegetarian in our party and the was limited to a side salad and chips.
