1902 Bar & Grill in East Lothian - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

My wife and friends were here for two breakfasts and one evening meal. Service, food and over all experience were wonderful. Very friendly staff. Very reasonable price. All very happy customers.

First time my partner has ever been too full for a pudding, says it all! Service here is outstanding every single member is staff were polite and professional.

Great food. Excellent service. Overpriced in my opinion but thoroughly enjoyed it

Friendly staff, great atmosphere and Fantastic food as always. The Fillet steak and Mushroom risotto were both excellent.

Starter (wild mushrooms and spinach on bread); Fish'n'Chips Deluxe (with mashed peas); ambience in a good state; I was there for a beautiful lunch. There is an excellent service in the restaurant. Having a wonderful time a few days before christmas (reason for cracker on the tables).

Classy restaurant setting. Food was excellent and staff were professional. Quiet, but we ate early. it was getting busy as we left. hotel rooms great value. for me this is the best in Dunbar and I've stayed in all of the hotels over the past few years.

Annual bike club meal as usual in the Dunmuir. What an amazing meal. My wife and I eat out regularly and I have to say this was up there with the best, but there again I’ve never been disappointed with the Dunmuir.

Had the most amazing lunch. Turkey main was beautiful. Best turkey I’ve ever tasted. Starter was really good too. Service was really attentive and couldn’t do enough. Can’t wait to go back

We popped in on the way back from a day watching seals at St Abbs - Great food excellent service and really good atmosphere - a bit warm in the room but it was a busy and popular spot and lots of water provided so no complaints here!

Had another fantastic meal on Friday night, Philip and his team were great as usual the food was beautifully cooked and presented, scallops to start , venison loin was beautifully cooked , confit duck falling off bone. Thanks again for a great evening it was lovely to finish the evening in the cosy bar before heading home.

We celebrated our daughter's 30th birthday with a family Sunday Lunch at the 1902 Bar & Grill Restaurant @ the Dunmuir Hotel yesterday for 10 adults and 7 children (aged 14 months to 13 years old). We pre-ordered our 3 course meals. The food was really excellent and beautifully presented and the staff were professional, very friendly and provided an excellent service. We would recommend this restaurant and we hope to return in the near future.

Our kitchen is being rejigged and so we treated ourselves to Sunday lunch at the Dunmuir today. The food was excellent - only good quality beef can be served rare and taste as good, vegetables were fresh and not over cooked. The staff were friendly and attentive. This was a really good experience, a very pleasant surprise and we will return.

What a great start to our 5 day break in Sunny Dunbar (so they say). I’m a great believer in research paying off, so our dinner at 1902 Bar & Grill Restaurant at the Dunmuir Hotel couldn’t have been better. My wife’s Daiquiri & my Tequila based Mexican Wave got things off to a great start. The starter of chicken Bon-Bon’s with sriracha & aioli was tasty but nothing to write to Tripadvisor about! Our main courses followed in triumph - huge portions of the most tender lamb rump with gorgeous herbed mash and heritage carrots & expertly cooked broccoli. Individual pots of lamb jus attended the plates. Truly a feast but we come from a long line of lily-gilders & we’d ordered beer battered onion rings too - lovely but totally not needed & most were left, to our shame. Try not to judge us. Puds were inviting but absolutely out of the question - couldn’t eat a thing more, not even a “leetle waffer” as Mr Creosote from Monty Python would say. Service was on point, the ambience was just-so as not many tables taken but got talking to another holidaying couple. Muzak was 60’s & 70’s hits wafting gently in the background at a very sensible level. If the rest of my selections of eateries is only 90% as good as our first, then we’ll be happy. Well done 1902 kitchen, highly recommended.

Food pretty good, prices slightly north of reasonable and service pleasant but could be quicker. All said a nice evening with chums and I could be a regular if it were not “dog friendly “. I never want to sleep or eat with pooches so leave the mutts at home

Staff ate great as is the food and in a pleasant setting. Dogs welcome too

We had a splendid lunch, our friend (who is known to be faddy) said it was the finest meal he had had for a long time, he had the Halibut and I had the Sunday Roast. It’s the first time I was back in the refurbished dining room which is so relaxing and comfortable. Food and service was impeccable.

We went out to the Dunmuir to celebrate my granddaughters birthday and were looked after beautifully Staff were so thoughtful offering to put her flowers in water and keeping them cool until we left All the food was superb, flavoursome, well cooked and presented Thank you for a delicious and delightful evening everyone

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch here today. The quality of food was exceptional. We really enjoyed our duck croquettes / chicken caesar bon bons to start. The roast beef was really tender and all the accompaniments were delicious. Desserts were also faultless. This restaurant offers fine dining options in a casual and friendly atmosphere (the restaurant has recently been refurbished and is looking great). It is also reliably excellent, time and again, rather than being hit and miss. It deserves to be much busier than it often is. Thanks Dunmuir.

Went here for a special family dinner recently. The service was fast but the staff had no clue what they were doing. The waiter set everything up backwards or for left handed people. The waiter also didn't offer us the wine properly which was a bit funny. We chose this restaurant because of the menus online. However these menus are all incorrect. For a Grill to only have the option of a cheese burger and a sirloin steak on the menu is hilarious and very poor. I had the cod for my main and it was lovely but the home made chips were soggy and greasy. The atmosphere in here was quite dated. I don't think the interior has been touched since the late 80s. There was child like drawings on the walls along with a sea life theme. It was a strange combination for a supposed fancy restaurant. We were there on a Saturday night and there wasn't many people there eating. That says enough for me. We ordered our last drinks after the meal which they got wrong then we asked for the bill. The place is reasonably priced and it was definitely an experience to remember. I'd recommend this place for an afternoon lunch but don't expect an à la carte experience or a stake lol.

Another wonderful dinner with Philip Mellor and his team. This restaurant has become a real favourite of ours. Hidden behind the hotel reception is a fabulous, relaxed dining room. The staff are casual but so professional. The menu is narrow but excellent with locally sourced produce, beautifully presented by the excellent chef, and the wine list is so carefully curated by Philip... who knows his stuff! This is a restaurant you would go to with family and friends or a special night out. Smart but not pretentious. Great food, great staff and an altogether great experience. Try it! (Just to note, the restaurant closes mid week to give the team a well earned rest.... all info on the website)

This very lovely restaurant in the Dunmuir Hotel is just wonderful. I've been a number of times both in a large group and as a couple and the standard never waivers. The actual restaurant itself is recently refurbished and looks great. It is not overfilled with tables so you don't feel cramped. The service from the moment you walk in is friendly but professional. I think getting the balance right is hard and these guys have nailed it. Then there's the food. I've yet to have a bad dish, the food really is absolutely delicious. The standard really is exceptional and I would go to eat there again in a heartbeat. This is all very high praise but as a person who rarely reviews things, in this instance it absolutely deserves this 5 star rating.

The food and service were perfect. I started with sea trout, moved on to cod and finished with a great selection of delicious cheeses

Wasn’t sure on first impressions of the outside but thank goodness we went. Friendly staff, good menu unfortunately run out of a few dishes but I guess that’s a good sign, was not disappointed lovely fish & chips, lamb dish & venison starter both lovely too Highly recommend & don’t be put off with the outside

Good food, although portions are on the small side but very nice.

Visited yesterday for Sunday Lunch whilst in the area following a recommendation from a local shop. We were not disappointed - an excellent roast beef dinner - tasty vegetables and lovely Yorkshire Puddings. Staff were great - friendly and excellent service. Well worth a visit

Great food. Friendly staff. Dog friendly. Well thought out decor. Comfortable atmosphere and all at a reasonable price.

Wonderful meal and great host. We will return.

Food was excellent. Roast potatoes had been missed from my roast dinner. A plate of freshly cooked were brought out. They were light & crispy, delicious.

Last night we had a lovely dinner at the Grill, the place looks stunning, just been refurbish to a brand new restaurant with excellent food. Highly recommend it!

Rude staff, turned away when restaurant was empty. Do not recommend. (It was a table for 2 not 5 as the owner has mistakenly said. Please get your facts right?)

Lovely sunny tables outside for pre dinner drinks. Friendly welcoming staff and delicious food. Gluten free battered fish, onion rings and other delights including more than one choice of GF desserts. Thanks guys, all the best for the rest of the season and beyond.

We live in Dunbar and have enjoyed some pleasing meals from time to time at the Dunmuir hotel - but since their reopening after lockdown they have really pulled out the stops. The ballroom has been transformed into a restaurant space with very generous spacing between tables (generally well over 2 metres) and some elegant small decorative screens to give a sense of atmosphere (they also have a few outside tables where we took coffee). They had single use menus and wipe-clear wine lists and staff wearing masks. The food and service were both very good: both our starters and mains were beautifully presented dishes cooked with great care. The wine list seems to have grown since our last visit, now with 32 different wines including some interesting choices at sensible prices. Complementary water was served in chilled bottles. And they have very good toilets with extra hygiene arrangements and no need to queue!

Excellent hotel, well impressed with staff attitude and owner. Fabulous meal in the evening with drinks beforehand in the sunshine outside. Good COVID procedures. Very recommended all round.

Lovely surroundings limited menu small portion on starters dim lighting

It's a hotel dining room with a slighly sterile feel to it but the menu is extensive and interesting, the food is great and portions generous. wine list OK, too. The overall feelmis home cooking, nothingvat all wrong with that. All three of us were impressed and would return any time.

We had the above. Service was excellent. Food super. I had Prawns, husband and Mother-in-law had black pudding for starters. Lovely. They both had Haddock and I had Scampi. Delicious.

Up in Dunbar for a birthday and looking for a place to eat. Unimpressed by our hotel menu we found 1902 on Tripadvisor and booked a table.Took us a little while to find 1902 because we were looking for a big ‘1902 Restaurant’ sign. Hadn’t realised it was inside the Dunmiur Hotel.Discovered two friends were staying there so waited for them to appear and surprised them.Three of the group had fish and chips which were excellent. I had steak pie and enjoyed it very much. Overall a good experience and would be happy to eat there again.

My family and I visited the 1902 Bar &Grill and were made to feel most welcome by the staff and management. It was a special occasion for us. We had Steak Pie, (my favourite) my guests ordered the fish in batter, and venison burger. We cannot fault the food in any way. It was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back again.

We cannot fault anything. Staff 100%Service: top rateFood: really good. Best cottage pie everDon’t miss out.

We had a great experience here. The staff were friendly, helpful and entertaining. The food was delicious, cannot fault it in any way. We will definitely be frequenting the Dunmuir in future.

The menu is fairly traditional - sounds easy, but the food needs to be of a high standard. Well, it's of the highest standard! I had the steak and ale pie - simply to die for! It's almost unfair to refer to the food as pub grub. Lovely atmosphere and really cosy. Really friendly too and reasonably priced too. Would readily recommend it to anybody.

We were treated to a meal at the 1902 by our family, who had heard excellent reviews locally.The atmosphere of the restaurant was delightful, albeit unusually quiet, possibly due to the celebrations happening at Belhaven Brewery.The Steak Pie was exceptionally tasty, well cooked and delicious chips. I highly recommend the Chocolate Torte, as this was beautiful, such an amazing balance of flavours and tastes!.The staff were extremely pleasant and friendly, however we did find one member of the waiting staff a little intimidating at times whilst conversing with family with someone watching over us!.Overall we had a delicious meal and would highly suggest this if you are visiting Dunbar!

Arrived in Dunbar at 7pm on a Friday and rang for a table at 7.30pm, fantastic food, great hospitality and nothing was too much trouble, they even organised our children’s meals to come out as soon as it was ready :) I had the scallop special, my husband the venison burger, my dad has the fish and chips and my mum the pie all food was amazing. I’m so glad we found this place will definitely recommend to anyone.

We arrived on Monday evening having reserved a table the same day. It was in a comfortable dining room and we both ordered the steak pie which was delicious. The vegetables were well cooked and presented, but there needed to be more of them. Service was prompt and polite.

Went here for a meal tonight hadnt booked but luckily they had a table.for two. My husband and I both had the 10oz rib eye with some of the fattest chips I have ever seen. The food was first class very tender steak beautiful diane sauce and the chunky chips were amazing. The two gentlemen serving where very friendly and ensured we enjoyed our meal. Gutted not to have had room for dessert but will definitely be visiting again. Would highly recommend as someone that used to be a chef I know good food when I taste it and that was one of the best meals I have had out in a long time. Thank you for a fabulous meal. Would recommend booking which I will do next time.

We were desperately looking for somewhere nice to eat following a small break to Dunbar. Tried the 1902 as an off chance and had a fabulous evening. The food was amazing, well presented and very enjoyable. The staff were attentive without being overbearing.

Went today for birthday celebrations as a party of 8. Amazing food and amazing service. Couldnt fault it at all

My Husband and I had dinner at this restaurant inside the Dunmuir Hotel and it was absolutely amazing. The food was so delicious and well presented and the staff were so very efficient and professional. The table service was first class and the prices were very reasonable. I would highly recommend this restaurant if you want amazing food and service.

This is the restaurant inside the Dunmuir Hotel. Please refer to its dedicated webpage for more information.

My wife and I had the coq au vin. The chicken and the potatoes ( plenty of it ) were great unfortunately my veg was undercooked and firm, I didn't complain because the rest of the meal was very good. My brother had the vegan curry and thoroughly enjoyed it. We had different sorbets to finish which were very tasty. Price wise what you would expect from a good restaurant.

Looking for somewhere to stop off after a day trip south of the border, this was the place that ticked all the pre-planning boxes and what a nice place it was.

Was here for a meal for my mums birthday, staff could not have been nicer or anymore accommodating. The food was well presented and tasted lovely and the price was very reasonable, will return soon

Myself and my daughter had a meal here tonight and it was amazing. My daughter had the wee burger and she said it was delicious and the star brioche bun was a complete hit- fab touch. I had the fish and chips it was fresh and delicious. For pudding my daughter had sticky toffee and again said it was amazing and I had the chocolate tart which was outstanding. 5* meal and 5* service. Can't wait to come back.

underwhelming...food not fit for purpose. premade childs burger hard like a shoes sole, completely out of touch serving thin cut melon with sorbet as a starter (kids meal). Sea food starter hard to describe...maybe a 80's prawn cocktail on rock solid bread, partner says doesn't deserve such a good description. £15 venison burger not to bad, think its from the local butcher, garnish a joke. All in all rubbish with restaurateurs without a clue.

Came for a family meal. All of us were disappointed. The food neither tasty or fresh. The buns and bread were hard and days old. The seafood starter had no taste. Venison burger was less than average. Bacon was slimy and inedible. Kid's meal was bizarre. Wafer thin melon with a rock solid lemon sorbet with bitter coulis ... really! Kid's burger was pre-made cardboard. Fries were ok. Waiter wasn't happy when we gave our thought. Got 10 per cent off. Feel ripped off. Most certainly not value for money. Not fresh. Not tasty. Not ever returning.

Amazing food in the restaurant. Baby friendly too. Really enjoyed our time here.

Had a fantastic lunch first time I'd been there and will definitely be back again food was great.

Très bien, très grand choix dans les plats

We had been to this restaurant before and the food was delicious so decided to return tonight.

Wir waren auf der Durchreise und haben hier zu Mittag gegessen. Der Fisch des Tages war wirklich frisch und die Beef Medaillons mit der Pfeffersoße waren herausragend.

Recommended to eat here as we were staying nearby Arrived early... clean, warm welcoming staff Excellent menu range Food arrived in good time and tasting good Definitely well worth the visit

Stopped for lunch on Saturday. We were the only guests in the grill but could have eaten in the small bar. Service was personal and good. Food was great and served hot!. Onion rings were crispy and thick cut chips were fabulous. Well worth stopping for.

Had a really nice meal great service and always welcoming. Spent Easter Sunday here also late unch 13 of us all Ages family again couldn’t do enough for us we will be back

We were warmly welcomed (not always the case when you have 2 small boys in tow) by the owner and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience (not always the case with 2 small boys in tow!).

Great service, great food, a gem hidden away in a small village pub. The menu covers all tastes and has a great variety of dishes.

The restaurant was booked up, but we could eat in the bar and did, ordering the ribeye and the venison haggis burger. Both were very well-prepared with nicely done sides. Good meal! A little pricey but not bad. Service was warm and friendly too.

The Spoilt Ramblers club enjoyed an excellent evening here. The food was the best we have had in Scotland. The chef Paul provided 12 excellent meals for us.

We came here whilst camping at Bellhaven Bay campsite. A nice long walk along the coast to this restaurant which is part of a hotel. The food is very good and the beer selection is great including local Belhaven beer. It's not Michelin star but there are some interesting locally sourced dishes and it's very good value. Our kids loved it too and we'll be back when we're next in the neighborhood!

The food was fantastic. 16 of us had a couple of evening meals there and they took it in their stride when we made up our minds to eat there at the last moment on a bank holiday pulling out the stops to accommodate us. As there were 16 of us we tried more or less the whole menu and everything was excellent. We tried other places to eat including The Rocks which has top billing on TripAdvisor but our group thought the Dunmuir was better!

we visited here on our way back home to Scotland from England. I used Tripadvisor to find the best place in Dunbar and decided on this venue. We arrived at a particularly busy time so we were put into the bar. Little room but very nicely decorated. The staff were great, the food was very reasonably priced and the presentation and quality of food was absolutely incredible. My kids (aged 12&13) can have varying appetites dependant on portion size and so they chose the kids menu. However the portions for the kids are generous and as the food was so delicious, my kids ate every single bit. Adult portions were so generous also and you can tell that this food is all home made - hats off to the chef. The bill was not what i expected for the quality of food and portion size - very very very reasonable. i live about an hour and a half car drive away from here but would make a point of eating here again if the opportunity arose. We eat out often and it is rare i visit somewhere that ticks all the boxes. Definitely worth a visit.

This is the first time I have eaten in this restaurant so put caution to the wind and tried something new, th portions were nice,y proportioned and the food quality was fantastic, and would definitely eat here again, the restaurant was Nivea restful which was great after a long day and the staff were very welcoming and friend,y a very nothing too much trouble attitude made a very nice dining experience.

Had dinner here and returned for a second visit which proved equally impressive.

Four of us came here on a very quiet November evening. Service and food were excellent with generous portions and gluten free options. Staff very friendly. Wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Notre premier hôtel restaurant pour 15jrs de déplacement pro en forêt. Un accueil très sympathique, chambre ok, restaurant très bon et vraiment pas exécutif. Prix honnêtes..

My husband has a new level for all other burgers to niw stand up to. The Supreme Burger will nit leave even the hungeriest hubby wanting for more. Be ready for a Wide Mouth Bite that will keep giving.

We stayed at the hotel, which has a small bar area where, even with the added area for dining, tables...

Organised as the culmination to a company team building day, we were hosted by Philip and Lesley at the Dunmuir...

Stopped over on trip to Scotland. Pleasantly surprised to find nice decor, friendly And knowledgeable staff and a good extensive...

Have had a couple of very successful family lunches here. As a group we have different likes and dislikes and...

Tenía una buena comida de verdad comida de cumpleaños y medallones de carne muy impresionado absolutamente perfecto lugar thee para comer en Dunbar

Came here for lunch on Sunday 18th June. Having previously been here I was worried as our last experience wasn't very good. On this occasion, our party said this time far exceeded expectations compared to our previous visit. My duck breast was cooked very well and well presented. The parents said the lamb was also very nice. The only let down was my starter. Pate was on the bland side ( I have better at other establishments in Dunbar). Apart from that slight niggle, service was great and friendly and couldn't fault anything else.

We live locally and went to the 1902 for a birthday meal. We all asked for either duck or lamb to be served "pink to blue" and all four dishes arrived perfectly cooked. The service was warm and friendly, both in the bar and in the restaurant. We had starters, mains, desserts, cheese board and coffees... all dishes spot on. Thanks for a great night x

Went for a family dinner. Food was as usual amazing. The manager Duncan really looked after us. Will be back again soon

Had a beautiful family meal here. Great wine choice, which was recommended. Excellent service. Well looked after.Food was amazing really tasty could not fault a thing.

We visited here for Fathers Day and cannot fault the food or the service!!!Nine of us, five adults, three kids (two with severe food allergies) came for lunch. Nothing was too much hassle! The child with no food allergies nearly had a meltdown as there isn't chicken nuggets on the menu and he struggles choosing something else to eat. A burger was chosen and orders taken. Two minutes later the owner came back and said that the chef had offered to make chicken goujons for our son but he was fine with the burger (which he enjoyed when it came). We were asked if wanted the kids meals out when ready as we were having starters which was much appreciated. We all had a dessert and it was no trouble to check if pea starch was an ingredient in the sorbet (which it wasn't) with both kids enjoying theirs. Only downside for my dessert, the Cranachan was beautiful but as I was driving i couldn't enjoy the whiskey shot but my partner enjoyed mine (and his Mums!!) The food quality and staff were exceptional and made for a lovely Fathers Day meal. We will definitely be back.

We are regular visitors to Dunbar and would never dream of eating dinner anywhere else - the food is fantastic, the service is efficient and the staff are friendly. You can't ask for more than that!

First time at this restaurant although been coming to Dunbar for more than 15 years. Have to say it was a very pleasant evening. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

Chef there did an awesome job. Food was excellent and service was great too.... Cannot wait to go back!

Spent weekend at Hotel and star of the show must go to the staff and the delicious food, from enjoying full english with the singing porter, to the intimate setting of dinner, so good we went on two nights. Recommend the Eyemouth Haddock and Beef Medalions not forgetting the yummy Sticky Toffee Pud. Must again mention the excellent staff with Duncan at the helm.

had a lovely meal with my daughter and grandson, service was very efficient and food perfect would highly recommend

Took the Mrs here for a valentines dinner. We selected from the valentines menu. We had soup and crab cakes to start, red snapper and salsa for mains and to follow we had a white chocolate tart. We were impressed with everything the snapper was cooked to perfection and the salsa was so fresh. The dessert was to die for so much so that I almost took a bite out of the plate. We had the restaurant to our self's so service was tip top as well. My partner enjoyed her day thanks to a great meal.

we went in with my son and his partner for Sunday lunch, I had a 3 course meal and it was one of the best I have ever had, the soup was like my mum used to make and the roast was perfect, I asked for the burnt ends and I got them my son had his pink and he said it was amazing his partner had venison it looked amazing, if anything the portions were too big but I did have to try the baked apple crumble, again it reminded me of my mums cooking when I was a child all those years ago. the service was good and the waitresses were very friendly.

Very good food at a very reasonable price with good service thrown in too! Didn't even know the place existed, but we WILL be going back! Well worth a try, and much more modern that the other local spots like the Rocks, Hillside, etc.

The standard of food in this restaurant is outstanding. The ambience is welcoming and the room is beautifully designed and welcoming.Pre-dinner drinks may be taken in the cosy wee bar while reviewing the exciting menu.This restaurant is a welcome addition to the resort of Dunbar.

sorry for the late response, we booked here with friends and family, I pre-ordered the lobster, I paid 35 bucks for it and I wasn't disappointed, to be honest I have paid more for less in other places, the rest of the group ordered various things but my mum had the foie and the beef medalions, all I can say was stunning, as for puddings most of my group had them the all looked good especially the baked apple, but I only had the ice cream, seemingly its from a local farm, I would like to know where they get it from as I would like to buy some as its one of the best I have tried, congrats to the team here as this was one of the best meals we have had, and trust me we have had more than a few, i have never done this trip advisor thing but as this was the best i thought i should

A lovely restaurant worth visiting even if not staying at the Dunmuir. All the dishes we sampled - and those enjoyed by neighbouring guests - were excellent. Great soup of the day, fantastic chips, and beautiful mussels particularly recommended. Generous serves and pleasant service.

Popped in for some lunch last week with some friends. We arrived and where showen to a table by a very friendly and helpful server. Ordered some food and drinks, all of which arrived in a very timely manner and was delicious. The sticky toffee pudding is to die for, literally!.

Reasonable value for money but the food, location and staff where decidedly average. no atmosphere and the surroundings are drab. Generally serviceable but nothing special

Visited two nights in succession as we were staying at the hotel. First night went ok, but not so much luck on the second. My steak was not up to standard. The manager was very apologetic and knocked £5 off our bill, which I thought was very generous Quite a good selection of food at reasonable prices. Would recommend the Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon off the wine list

Ate here by chance, and it was so lucky we did as the food was amazing. Staff where very attentive and cannot fault the service, but by far the best part was the food which was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be back again soon.
