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 .

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.

Nothing on menu apart from set menu my wife was offered fish which she had and her chips were very dry also pitta bread with starter was brick hard and cold

Had an amazing Valentines Dinner here from their Valentines set menu. Couldn’t have done enough for us. Had a few cocktails and they were delicious! Service was speedy, staff were friendly and attentive and the most important - food was yum!

Great service and lovely food in this quaint little bistro

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch quality food and friendly staff good beer.

We were given a warm welcome at this pleasant and comfortable bistro. I had requested a good table as we were treating a, special friend,and we were seated at a great table. The food did not match the welcome. Two of us chose the chicken ballotine. The chicken was dry and the accompanying vegetables were poor. The fennel bulb was bitter and the Jerusalem artichokes were dry and not pleasant. I found myself wishing I had chosen a different dish. We felt the food was vastly overpriced because of this standard of cooking.

We enjoyed our meal.Friendly welcome and excellent service. It was nice to be served fresh bread on arrival. My wife enjoyed her vegan courses. I was slightly disappointed with my dessert-the chocolate delice. It was rather sweet and smothered in cream ! Excellent coffee and fudge.

Great service, great food, great prices. Will definitely be back.

After about 15 years it was so good to return and find such a fine restaurant still there!!!!

Salmon was not cooked and the haddock was mainly batter.

Great food and service in a lovely location. We will return

Wonderful place to eat - great personable staff and a lovely atmosphere.

The staff were lovely, we were served very quickly after ordering, and the food was excellent. The toilets were spotless.

Great restaurant, great atmosphere, unfortunately some of the girls were very unfriendly!

We met friends for lunch and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meal and surroundings. Beautiful local produce. Great variety of menu choice.

Lovely birthday celebration for my mother and our family. Food was delicious and service was excellent.

Delicious food and great service as always. A lovely meal to mark my husband’s birthday.

Lovely cosy table by the fire, prompt service, excellent food - couldn't ask for more

Delicious food, great staff, and lovely ambience- will definitely return!

Food, service, ambience were all very good. Price for food and drinks we're also reasonable.

I have been to The Waterside Bistro in Haddington quite a few times now. As always the food, service and staff were all excellent. The only thing I would like to point out is that your festive menu is still on your website. I think you need to update that, as it may put people off if they don't know what the menu is. I look forward to coming back again for lunch in the very near future. Thank you.

Amazing food and service as always! Cosy bar for a post dinner drink as well.

Would have liked more 'basic' choices in menu rather than 'specialised'.

Really friendly team and enjoyed our meal there today for lunch!
