The Waterside Bistro

We had a lovely meal in pleasant surroundings. We were given a window table looking out on the river.

Great food and service. Just wish we had a place like this on our own doorstep.

This was our first time visiting the Waterside Bistro. The food was excellent! Lovely atmosphere and location.

Lovely birthday lunch. Excellent food, service, ambience. We'll be back.

Lovely staff. Portions could have been smaller and still been enjoyable- we didn’t need starters as well as mains and had absolutely no room for dessert

Warm welcoming atmosphere with attentive service and good selection of specials using local produce.

Amazing family meal, best service had in a very long time and the food was delicious.

A great meal with great service and a cheerful energy.

Excellent meal in lovely surroundings . Food was delicious as always

We love the Waterside Bistro. Stunning location great service, super food. Genuine friendly team. The best place to be in Haddington

Beautiful location, beautiful pub. Staff are very welcoming and very friendly. Food and drink is very good. For my main course I had a fillet steak, which was cooked to perfection, but it wasn't rested long enough. Which leads me to the only negative. We felt we were being rushed. Each course was quickly followed by the next. Even when we asked them to take their time, we got the next course within a few minutes. Would have liked more time to enjoy the full experience. All said, would definitely recommend

Food was delicious but visit was made by the service. Attentive, and felt effort was put in to make us feel comfortable and relaxed. Would recommend.

Welcoming staff as ever, relaxed atmosphere and decent food. A good local!place to eat.

Our third visit. Most enjoyable evening. Very friendly and efficient service. Great menu. Lovely food. Observation: Tables, cutlery and glasses looking tired and below par for such a nice bistro.

Lovely setting, warm welcome and really delicious menu. Would highly recommend.

Well worth visiting. Will definitely return. The roast dinner was spot on.

The staff were incredible, very positive and accommodating. On arrival we wanted to sit out in the sun and have a few drinks before dining . Even though they had 300 covers, that was no bother. We were to ‘enjoy’ and take our time. The service was excellent! The staff were available whenever required and regularly checked in on us. Besides one of the kids orders (pasta) which our daughter didn’t eat (but the restaurant swapped out for another dish without charging) - the food tasted amazing. The warm vibe, sun, wine list and flavors were worth the day out and money paid. One of the best Mother’s Day yet!

Always a great place to eat, always tasty food, and pleasant staff.

Ist time visiting this place and it did not disappoint very busy but it was a Saturday and mothersday weekend . The staff extremely polite and attentive brilliant service from all the staff . The food was super tasty and plentiful best rissotto I've tasted on a long time our party all thoroughly Enjoyed the food . The whole experience fom start to finish was excellent I will highly recommend and definitely be back

Food & wine very good, service and bit slow stops the experience being amazing. Very good & will return.

Excellent customer service, food was amazing, nice atmosphere and helpful staff

Good food. Service great. Had coffee outside in the sunshine. Grat view of the Tyne flowing by.

Stunning food, wonderful, attentive staff and beautiful views. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

We had a fabulous lunch today, had booked table and was running late!! James was a star, nothing was a problem, we were with a 94 year old and he gave us a fab comfy table.. his staff are all brilliant and attentive. Oh and the food was delicious.. definitely return .. 🙌

Good choice of food available. Staff very professional and knowledgeable about the menu and drinks on offer. Very pleasant evening. Thank you

Lovely surroundings and staff very welcoming Extensive menu everyone in the party enjoyed their meal and evening

Excellent food; excellent service. This wonderful restaurant in a great location with amazing views just keeps getting better and better. The menu has something to suit everyone so is equally great for couples and families.

We asked for a window seat, arrived a little early and was told it all ready for us. Fab corner of the pub. It was packed and noisy when we arrived but everyone melted away as they finished their food snd it became pleasant and you could enjoy the ambient music which was just our era.

We had a lovely meal. The service was definitely 5🌟

1st time I’ve been back for many years. Still lovely atmosphere and great food.

Enjoyed the breast of chicken with black pudding mash, veg and jus.

Friendly and welcoming, with a varied menu featuring good veggie options. Generous portions, nicely presented. Comfortable, with a pleasant atmosphere.

lovely family lunch to celebrate a birthday. Will certainly return

Quality of service, food and ambience was excellent. Feels home made. Chef and staff went out their way to offer bespoke asks - small touches that go along way.

Excellently meal served by friendly and attentive staff. Will def return

This was the perfect restaurant choice for a pre-gig dinner with my husband and our friend who was visiting from San Francisco. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food, and as I’m normally driving but wasn’t this time my glass of Malbec was a real treat. Time and again the dining experience at the Waterside is a delight.

Great, friendly staff, amazing food. Thank you one and all!

Was in Haddington for a concert with a couple of friends at the Corn Exchange and choose this place based on positive reviews. I rarely write reviews but as everything about our visit here was superb I simply had to! Staff were very welcoming, pre-dinner drinks were enjoyed sat by a roaring fire (it was very cold outside!). Food was excellent and nothing too much bother for the staff. Not sure if I’ll ever be back in Haddington but if I am will definitely dine at The Waterside!

Great food, great service, great atmosphere. Coming back tonight! Love it.

Attentive friendly staff, great food and warm atmosphere fab !

We had another celebrational dinner and once again the Waterside was the correct choice. Great Food, perhaps a Michelin Chef ? I will need to ask next time I am in. Their range of Beers is impressive and my good lady even found one of those quirky little Gins that she likes so much. Service was prompt and professional. The locals are friendly and chatty. I Highly recommend this Bar and Bistro for any occasion.
