Fish tacos

A really busy week but staff were able to get us in with no problem. They were also super quick to take our order. The fish tacos were so flavorful and good.

Fried prawns app
Marc S.

We had fried prawns and scallops for apps. Both great. Haddock full fillet and chips and a side salad for my wife and I. My son had seabass tacos. The sticky toffee pudding was so awesome! Food was fresh and delicious. Fried fish was crispy and glistening inside. I have a soy allergy and all the food was safe. Server was great. There is a to go up front too. Ambiance isn't over the top nice, but who cares with amazing food.

Fish N Chips to go. It was quite different from the fish n chips in Montreal, more greasy but the fish is a bit tastier. I enjoyed it a lot. The portions here a HUGE. I barely finished it. It only cost 8 pounds and 50 pence for mayonnaise.

Fish and chips (full dish)

This is a contender for the best food I had in St Andrews! The mussels were excellent, and the sauce was great to soak up with the sourdough bread. The fish and chips was the best I've ever had. The batter was unbelievably light, airy, crispy, and great flavor. The tiger prawns were also incredibly good. And finally, the homemade cheesecake was more like a strawberries and cream but it was excellent, and I don't know if the brownie was homemade but it was very moist with a thick crisp crust and gave it amazing flavor and texture. I would highly recommend this place!!

Scallops with haggis sausage

OMG!! I can see why this place was voted the best fish and chips in Scotland. They give you the option of having it battered , breaded or grilled. That is unheard of and it is the absolutely best California option. I wish I could package you up right now and bring you back home. We ordered the breaded and it was out of this world. We also ordered the scallop appetizer on top of Haggis patties. Superior staff that was quite attentive to these Americans with offering me options for local beers. I have to absolutely say that this place made Saint Andrews memorable in my eyes Forever.

Arguably the best fish and chips in Scotland.

This seemed common at most restaurants we booked in Scotland though so maybe it's more of common place.

It is ok. Service is friendly and fast…read more Modern ambience and good background music. Food is ok. The selection is limited but presentation and flavors are good. My family and I had a great time and enjoyed a quality meal.

Optimistic about an enjoyable dinner turned into one of the worst experiences ever. It started off…read morewell enough with drinks and starters. 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.
