I desperately wanted to love this place - waterfront location, nautical decor, seafood. However, it…read morewas the latter that let me down. The cold seafood sampler platter had excellent selections and some pieces were really good, but others seemed dry and less than fresh. The entrees were all delicious and the poached monkfish itself was superb - but we were all non-plussed by bathing this beautiful rich fish in a spicy curry sauce. It has plenty of competition so hopefully it will up its game in the future.

Right out of the gate, let me say that the food itself was mostly excellent. The seafood was fresh…read moreand the smoked platter was well worth the time and, frankly, the price point was great. The desserts were not their forte, so feel free to skip it. The Cullen Skink as an appetizer is a must-try! So why the low score? Well, unfortunately, the waitstaff was absolutely abhorrent. We, along with other tables around us were ignored. It was so bad that, in order to get any service, refresh a drink, get a napkin, a dessert menu or whatever, I often had to stand up and wave my arms to get the attention of the staff. The absolutely lowest point came when I flagged down our server to get a dessert menu. We ordered from it immediately (because we didn't want to wait forever until someone passed our way again). She took our order, wiped our table off and went to the kitchen area. 30 seconds later, she returned with her purse on her shoulder and left for the evening. Did our dessert order go in? Nope. After about 10 minutes, we flagged someone else down and asked about our dessert. They were not aware of any dessert order and put one in for us. 5 minutes later, it was served. Ridiculous. A gentleman at the table beside us had to go find someone so he could get his bill to pay it. Once he led the waitress back to his table and paid her, we grabbed her attention just so we could get our bill and get out of there. It's a hard lesson for us to learn that, no matter how good the food is at a restaurant, terrible service can make for a n overall horrible experience. If you want to try this place, maybe get something to carryout and let the waitstaff learn how to provide proper service before eating there and ruining what should have been a pleasant meal.

Started my meal off with baked oysters that were not fully cooked, the parmesan cheese was not fully melted and the bite tasted a bit powdery as a result.

The servers were friendly and attentive but the seafood just wasn't on par for the price point.

We walked here from Leith in search of The Fishmarket as featured on "Somebody Feed Phil." Unfortunately there was no fried crab claw on the menu like in the episode. I was quite looking forward to that. The restaurant has these weird sliding doors almost out of Star Trek that gave me problems over and over. Making two trips to your table from the take out counter? You can't get back inside without pushing through the line to order or sliding uncomfortably behind a pole to squeeze your way in. The fish and chips were really good. Two small and one large supper fed the four of us. The fries could be crisper, but it seems like all the U.K. fish and chips places are like this. Maybe the hot fish steams them a bit. We ate our fish and chips on the pier while watching a lovely sun set at 9:30 p.m. over Newhaven.

The decor was nice and the atmosphere peaceful, at least for around 9pm lol Normally I go with some other kind of lamb dish, but wanted to try the fish curry. It was fresh, hot, and flavorful.

Firstly, make sure to bring your own beer/wine, no alcohol served. The naan is wonderful. I had the lamb Saag and the sauce was very nice. Not spicy as advertised, but tasty. Unfortunately the lamb was very tough. I did tell the waiter, and he wanted me to try something else. I honestly just wanted him to know about the lamb. He brought a small chicken dish and it was flavorless. I was really looking forward to a good Indian. They are attentive. But need to work on the spice and flavor.

When I say just, it's soo much more than just dinner! We ordered a large selection off the great menu and were delighted with all of our choices. The whole of the grill section was gobbled up at speed - particularly the haloumi and the steak, oh and the chorizo and the prawns. The pork belly in cherry coke glaze was to die for, crispy, sticky and fatty in all the right ways! Greens were a good mix of crunchy and tasty veg and the gratin was creamy and yummy. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu, especially the seafood lasagne and fish pie x Highly recommend x

For those familiar with original place, you'll know the food is top notch quality and yummy! They've also opened up an adjoining bar called The Bangkok bar which serves Thai street food. V handy if you're down that end of town for drinks and fancy a tasty small bite alternative. Sometimes Thai food just hits the boozing spot like nothing else!! I've not tried the cocktails but I'm assured by a friend they're worth a trip. I tried the main restaurant on Saturday night as part of a big group celebrating a friends birthday. They were more than happy to accommodate large groups, balloons and birthday cake. Nothing was an issue at all. Wine wasn't overpriced. Instead of my normal go-to Thai options I mixed it up a bit with a starter of Marinated quail and a main of Osso Bucco Massaman. The quail was delish! Crispy, salty, tasty. I would have sucked the bones dry if I wasn't trying to be a lady in front of the group! Ha ha. A really nice alternative to chicken. I'm not sure i was entirely sold on the main though which is probably my aversion to hunks of meat and bone, not a reflection of the quality of the dish. The meat was slow cooked and tender, but I was put off a bit with the sliced bit of bone marrow in the centre. I guess I'm not an Osso Bucco kinda gal really. Its definitely in a "man food" category. The sauce was amaaaaazing though! I had a few spoons waved my way for a taste. This place is well worth a visit!!!

Slightly higher than average cost but for ingredients that fresh and decent it's arguably valid. Definitely for steak and fish lovers.
