Met a friend there that I had not seen in years. Booked ahead and got a window seat, what a view. Very welcoming attentive staff. We chose the Sunday Roasts, my friend had the beef and I had the pork. Nicely presented and tasty, beef lovely but the pork had too much fat on it for my liking. We had sticky toffee pudding for sweet and it was lovely. Drinks wise I had an Apple Virgin Mojito which was totally tasteless and full of crushed ice so I would not recommend, waste of money. Service charge added to bill which I had no problem with as the staff were great. It was good to be in a restaurant with decent music. So all in all happy with the visit apart from the rubbish mocktail!

First time visiting Antico and I'm not sure I'll be rushing back. Food was lovely and brought in good time but it was quite expensive for what you got. Drinks were very small and again overpriced in my opinion. Music was very loud (fine, it's a weekend and maybe I'm old!) But it meant I struggled to hear my partner or the wait staff. Asked for the bill and it was forgotten about. Overall it was fine.

My wife and I ate there when staying in the hotel one night. The restuarant has lovey views of the bridges, however the music was very loud and we asked to be moved due a speaker above us , the request to move was dealt with no problem. We both had starters and they were both good. We both ordered fillet steaks at £38 each. They were truly appalling, cannot describe accurately the lump of fatty misshapen piece of meat that was put in front of us. One was completely inedible, the other was less then 50 % eaten when it was obvious there was nothing left to cut away from the grizzle. The staff were very good and overered us new meals, which we declined. The cost of the steaks was not added to our bill. There is no way these steaks should have left the kitchen to be put in front of a customer. We did receive a call the next day from the manager to discuss our experience. We then received an email offering free meals , this is a nice gesture, however the name on the email was not ours and we therefore have rejected a return visit. This was not a good experience.

Food was really disappointing - took so long to get both starters and mains; beef meals were inedible (5 year old’s burger was solid hard; main meal of beef was congealed and burnt), even the fish a chips was only half edible as half was so hard you couldn’t cut. Very disappointing for a family Christmas meal

Stopped for lunch without a booking. Everything was great, service, food (albeit enormous portions), view and price. Will definitely return

First time at orocco peir. Busy wee place. Waitresses lovely. Nice views. Drinks lovely , starter lovely. I had brushetta, really nice and good portion size. I had a steak, not cheap at £32. It was swimming in what looked like grease, apparently garlic butter. The steak was surrounded by fat. I cut it all off and left with a tiny piece of steak. I said to the waitresses I didn't like it and she called the manager over who was completely patronising who said 'that is what a rib-eye is supposed to be like, it's marbling and it was just the garlic butter that was on it that gave it that effect' . I'm sorry. I have had many steaks, and this had not even rested before it was brought out. I was really disappointed in the way the manager spoke to me and basically made me feel as though I was making a big deal over nothing. My sister in law had mussles. Again, lovely , however, the bowl her lemon was in had no water for her fingers. Her chicken ceaser salad had breaded chicken instead of grilled chicken. She ate the salad and left the chicken. I was really disappointed in the lack of concern that our meal was not nice and how we left disappointed and still hungry but still paid our bill in full.

My daughter and I called in today for a snack lunch. We ordered 2 small plates of nachos and 2 soft drinks, total bill £33! The nachos were strange, they seemed deep fried, quite greasy, with what looked like runny cream on top! We had just walked 6 miles from Blackness so feeling hungry, enjoying the amazing view and with a very attentive and nice waitress we decided to eat up anyway. Mistake…very quickly we both felt pretty ill, I’ll spare you the details but it was a grim walk back to our car! Next time we will picnic and enjoy the view from the benches on the main Street!

Aspetti positivi, la bella vista che si ha dal ristorante...Aspetti negativi tutto il resto! Qui ho mangiato il peggior Fish & Chips della mia vita: completamente pieno di olio, quindi indigesto, e con le patate mollicce e insapore. Il piatto era ustionante quindi hanno buttato tutto nel microonde per riscaldare con il risultato che appunto le patate sono diventate di una consistenza assurda e anche la salsa tartara era calda! L'hamburger di Aberdeen Angus era più buono ma non era speciale nemmeno quello. Non consiglierei a nessuno questo ristorante.

We visited Queensferry last week, whilst on holiday in Edinburgh. Pretty quaint village. Walked into Antico for a drink & snack on the first day… beautiful view & nice ambiance. We decided to visit again for lunch & did a few days later. We had the sweet potato soup of the day & a helping of Nachos. Very wholesome soup, tasty & delicious. The nachos with avocado & cheese dressing, topped with pulled pork, was very good. A must visit if you visit this lovely village. Good service with warm & efficient staff.

What a fantastic experience. The food was exceptional. Generous portions, delicious fresh ingredients - all 6 meals were truly worth reviewing. Cocktails were good too. This paired with a stunning view and excellent service just added up to a brilliant night. Highly recommend

We recently ate here following a recommendation from family friends. Staff were friendly and attentive and the food was tasty with plenty of variety. The view was stunning which added to the atmosphere, though on the whole is on the pricier side.

The best thing about this restaurant is definitely the view which is amazing. It’s a shame the food doesn’t quite match that. My partner had the chicken burger and the burger was very good. It came with chips which were ok and a tiny portion of coleslaw. I had vegetable curry and the sauce and vegetables were tasty, however I paid extra to add chicken tikka which turned out to be a flat, overcooked chewy fillet. At nearly £23 quite pricey for a curry. For dessert I ordered cheesecake which sounded delicious. I was really disappointed when the waitress returned to tell me there was none left. I know sometimes restaurants do run out of things but this was 6.30pm on a Saturday night. The waitress was really apologetic but there was nothing else on the dessert menu I really wanted so we left a bit disappointed.

Wonderful Location, Staff were so wonderful, five of us had dinner here, starters and main courses, with wine and beers, it was all very very good, tasty haggis bon bons, and the soft shell tacos with pulled pork and avocodo was so tasty, and the mussels looked incredible too as did all the dishes, lovely happy vibrant place in a stunning location, Excellent and thanks again to all the staff !

I have been here many times over the years and always found it to be lovely with some great food and service. Sadly on the 30th of Aug 2016 I visited again for the first time in several years. I had been excited and was left very disappointed. Service: disorganised and ineffectual... if someone has eaten two bites of their food it is a servers job to ask if there is a problem. Several people serving one table is not conducive to a good experience. Food: bland, over cooked, and severally lacking in imagination. The chips were the worst chips I have ever had in my life. Tasted like they were cooked last week. Setting: Just as lovely as always

Sentir muy decepcionado por nuestra reciente visita al muelle orocco. Fue una agradable tarde soleada de domingo y mientras no fue demasiado ocupado yo diría que el servicio era un poco lento. Nuestra camarera era muy encantador y hablador no es el mejor, con lo que había en el menú, etc. pero su Encanto especiales compensa. Cuando nuestra comida no llega (entrantes) nos quedamos un poco impactados por el tamaño de la porción. No esperábamos enormes platos de comida, aunque mientras lo suficientemente agradable que nos sentimos un poco engañados con lo que vimos en nuestros platos. Cuando por fin llegan nuestros platos principales de nuevo todos miraron al mismo tiempo en estado de shock. Mi amigo por ejemplo pedimos un sándwich carne cortada en dos para él. La cantidad de carne en el ridículo había cebada suficientes en una pieza de su baguette, la otra mitad era en su mayoría de cebolla. Mi sacó de cerdo fue de nuevo similares en tamaño de la porción no hay mucho!! Incluso su ensalada o porciones de chip eran escasas en cantidad! Sí, debería haberme quejado, pero la comida era lo suficientemente bonita para nada cerca de aceptable para lo que pagamos. Aunque ha sido un par de años desde nuestra última visita nos sin duda no prisa en volver, lo cual es una pena porque es un gran lugar para sentarse y beber. Cuando no salir y caminar hacia el pub 3 puentes todo el mundo estaba disfrutando del sol comiendo pescado y patatas fritas y aunque después de dos campos en muelle orocco todos estábamos de acuerdo en que podría haber se unió a ellos en meter al!

Myself and 5 friends were in for Sunday lunch for a special occasion. Starters were fine, nothing special but not bad. Three of us ordered the Sunday roast on recommendation of our waiter (who granted, was pleasant enough) and who commented that the Yorkshire puddings "were delicious as he'd had the roast for his lunch". As our tables food arrived, he placed one roast down in front of my friend commenting "sorry girls but we've run out of Yorkshire puddings" - dreadful etiquette! You don't tell a customer something is missing from their order as you place it in front of them. Beef was fatty and covered in what tasted like Chinese 5 spice. "Roast" potatoes were infact baby potatoes that had just been fried, obviously for ease and veg was boiled. No substitute for missing Yorkshire puddings. These consist of milk, flour and eggs...a kitchen couldn't make more?! Ridiculous... I suspect not much is made from scratch here. Three of us sent back roasts as were unhappy, alternatives ordered and obviously, came at different times. Mash potato clearly microwaved. Crab and rocket salad contained absolutely no rocket and had to be sent back - my friends second meal to go back to the kitchen!They told us drinks would be on house. Bill came and bottle of wine and a glass of prosecco and a white wine removed, rest of drinks and our replacement mains still on there. Had to argue point out of principle with restaurant manager (who granted, was very nice but didn't take control of the situation). Made to feel as if we were being picky and were starred at by staff on way out. Farcical.Don't bother. Go to the boat house next door instead. Used to like this place but won't be back. Dreadful.

Really great service, friendly service where nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely and the views across the river towards the Forth bridge were amazing. Highly recommended.

Booked for lunch declared ,shellfish allergy, was told. That they could not guarantee cross contamination asked how serious the allergy was ,I have an episode pen. Was told that someone should have contacted me about it ,they did not, waste of a journey and paying for parking. Will not be back. If you have any allergies avoid this place.

I almost never leave reviews, but I felt I had to because I felt so ripped off here. I'm a local and had time to kill before work so I popped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but I got the smallest piece of avocado toast I've ever seen for a tenner. I'm still hungry. I sort of knew it would be a mistake to go somewhere touristy but now I know I definitely won't be back. There are nicer places on Cockburn Street, never mind the rest of the Old Town.

Went with family to have a nice breakfast but were all utterly disappointed. Very small selection of breakfast items and all potions were far too small. I ordered full Scottish breakfast but left feeling hungry after spending over £1, sausages both meat and vegan were very nasty in their taste and all items were below average for an premium price - never again.

We ate here before the Lion King with the VIP Ambassador Lounge deal and it was all very good . I had read some of the negative reviews and was a bit wary after booking but it was a really nice experience. The food was fine , we had chicken skewers and soup and burgers and there was no complaints , but the service was excellent . The girls who served us were efficient and very friendly. They took us up to the lounge and again we had friendly service . All made for a great night , well done
