There is a nice variety of seafood on offer on the menu but the better choice is to select your fish from tonight's specials on the wall. That's what we did and we were very satisfied. The wine menu is limited. We chose a Pouilly Fuse that was unfortunately not drinkable. The staff were kind enough to take it back. I then chose the IPA that was much better. The appetizer recommended by our server was the mussels. These were best mussels I've ever enjoyed. It was served with a sauce made with garlic, butter, milk, and onion. It's good enough to be a soup! Our sides included brocholini and halumi. Both were excellent. The brocholini was flavorful and crunchy with a nice sauce-though know that the sauce has ham in it. The cheese, lightly fried is served with a spicy sauce that I really enjoyed, bit was too much for my wife. It was superb. We selected the monkfish and sea bass for our mains. Both were excellent, moist and flavorful fish-generous portions of each. This was an extremely satisfying and enjoyable meal. It was I've of our best in Scotland. We were frankly unable to eat more and we didn't have dessert.

So I went back the next day by myself, I did rsvp for 1 for 3pm, which was't necessary. After looking at the menu, went with: - Haddock & Chips with mushy peas. One thing I do like about this place was that, they offer different fish options, but no cod, thus I went with haddock. They do better job with frying their fish. The fish and the batter did not fall apart. The mushy peas was not my cup of joe :) When you walk in, to your right is the kitchen, where you can order for take out, walk towards the left to go to the dining room. The service was mediocre, thus only three stars. The wait staff rarely stopped by to check on you or refill your water, you had to hunt them down to get more water.

After that was complete, we continued to talk around our table of 6 and two hours later, had no food. Finally a number of our entrees hit the table but some were cold, and sent back. Then one in our party received nothing as it was never put in. The kitchen for some reason was seriously in the weeds although this restaurant isn't that big. Once we received the food, for the most part it was good, but chef doesn't know how to run a kitchen. Our bill came out and dessert wasn't even offered as I think they were embarrassed. The bill was wrong with a number of drinks that were never ordered. No one approached our table to offer an apology of any type of accommodation. I finally went to one of the managers and asked why he would make believe this wasn't even happening. He said he was aware of it, and I said, yet you continued to do nothing about it?! I've been in this industry a long time earlier in life and these people are in the wrong business. They failed at every opportunity am no one from the server to management made any attempt to make it right. Top 3 worst restaurant experiences ever ever had.

Very very reasonable dressed crab and fresh lobster. On a sunny day (yup you are in the East Neuk, so these days are not too rare) between Easter and September, come down to the harbour for some al fresco dining. It is a little bit of New England in Scotland! Here is how you tackle the lobster shack. 1. Make sure it is open - opening hours are variable, but usually open weekends from Easter, and in the height of the summer, they are open during the week for lunch. 2. Bring glassware/plastic cups and corkscrew if you are wanting juice/wine 3. Get some cash - they don't take cards 4. Go to the hut and pick your lobster, they are live and will be freshly boiled for you. 5. Whilst lobster is boiling, go to the co-op across the road and buy some wine, bread, salad or anything else you want to have with the lobster/crab - the lobster/crab is just served as is, no lemon or anything. 6. Come back and grab yourself a bench, get your delish lobster/crab which will be served on a glass plate with real cutlery. 7. Enjoy - guaranteed you will! But please, please, don't tell anyone else - this is a really special place, we don't want it too busy now!!

My Sister and I just wanted a light snack and a cool drink on believe it or not a very sunny day in Broughty Ferry. My Sister asked if she could have a Prawn sandwich apparently they could not make that as they only do hot sandwiches!!!!!! She opted then for a Prawn Cocktail it was very well presented with lots of Prawns and sauce in a terrine, with smoked salmon also, she asked the waiter if she could have some brown bread with this, no ordinary white loaf was all they had available. I had a fruit scone with butter and jam no problem there. I left my Sister there whilst I walked the Dog, she waited thirty minutes for a second drink Soda water and lime not anything very difficult. Whilst I was away two ladies asked to share the table no problem for us until I went into pay the bill and the Chap on the till was very shirty with me when I queried the bill as they had charged us for the Ladies order also. Well apparently they do not allow sharing of tables as they cannot cope with the bills. I think this should be stated in advance to save embarrassment at the till, I felt as if I was receiving a ticking off from the Teacher. I will think twice before returning to Sands, very poor service.

The reservation was in one of their names and they didn't call the restaurant from the US to let them know so instead of a party of six it was a party of four. I get that this causes an issue for the restaurant but the 100 pound late cancellation fee I was charged (surprised too because it was not mentioned until the bill arrived) seems truly excessive and frankly punitive.

You will definitely need one here during peak times. The service was warm & friendly. Artur was very helpful in answering all of our questions. The lunch menu is limited, but you can also order from the higher priced dinner menu as well. I was mostly amazed by the fact that you get complimentary oysters delivered to your table. My husband is not a seafood fan, so I was fortunate enough to enjoy both of them. These are large & tasty Pacific oysters grown at a farm in Loch Fyne. Delicious! It was such a great starter. I couldn't pass up the half kilo pot (lunch portion) of steamed mussels. These are Scottish rope-grown mussels. I should have ordered a kilo. They were so addicting. The white wine sauce with shallots was perfect. However, I did have a difficult time deciding which sauce to choose. The whisky with smoked bacon also sounded amazing. If I had to say anything negative, it would be to maybe add more bread to soak up the sauce. I probably could have asked for more, but I didn't. That's on me. I really wanted to return to try the Surf & Turf. We just didn't have enough time to do it all. I would go back in a heartbeat. It ended up being a great find. A great experience!
