As usual, well-presented and flavoursome food in a tranquil setting. We particularly liked that the bar stocked Winton Brewery beers.

Amazing to be able to eat out again! Had an amazing meal, steak was so tender, and a cleverly constructed menu. James was his usual welcoming self, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable even with the added strain of Covid-19 restrictions. Looking forward to returning again very soon1

It is a lovely cosy little restaurant and the staff were very nice, really friendly and attentive. The food was excellent, we had the hot smoked trout to start with was delicious and you get a big portion then the burger and the lamb rump which was so good. The cheesecake was the best bit for me. One of the best cheesecakes I’ve had. I will definitely be back and be Recommending the waterside bistro! To friends and family., we have just moved to Haddington from Edinburgh so it’s great that we have this place on walking distance.
