Dining rooms in Fife

Good basic food ina nice setting. What made this special was the fantastic service from a great waitress

Fab friendly Resturant to dine in with staff who went above and beyond! Great service and friendly staff who were more than accommodating with Birthday cake and candles - they even threw in a complimentary glass of Prosecco for the birthday girl! The food was delicious and they adapted dishes for us as required. Will definitely be back very soon 👌🏻

We had a large table last weekend for my daughters birthday. Table was decorated beautifully for us (even though we hadn't requested it!), staff were inviting and friendly, food was excellent everyone commented on how good the food was and how full the plates were (empty at the end though!) and it all came out on time and at the same time. Amazing! Returned tonight, just me and the wee one, service just as amazing. Ordered something different this time and was just as blown away. Absolutely perfect. Can't wait till next time! Thank you!

Lovely atmosphere, superb service and great food. Visited twice recently and will definitely book again soon.

We have frequented The Dining Room four times in the past two months. Our first visit was for lunch, then for an early evening meal, thirdly for a Sunday birthday celebration, and lastly, today, for a meal from the festive menu. All four meals have been absolutely superb. The lunch and early evening menu are the same, but there is a separate Sunday lunch menu, plus, as above, the current festive menu. Rather than go into every detail of every dish, I must say that so far, every single dish that has been ordered has been excellent. Even taking into account varied tastes and ages of guests, there have been zero complaints. Prices are slightly higher than the average Kirkcaldy "bar lunch" menus, but worth every single penny and more. Just to be able to order and eat something a little different from the usual local fare is an absolute blessing. The quality of the ingredients, and the preparation and presentation, are also streets ahead of what is usually on offer in these parts. Service is attentive, welcoming, and friendly, without being overbearing or obsequious. The owners, and their staff, deserve high praise indeed for creating such an oasis in Kirkcaldy's culinary desert. We will continue to eat here on a regular basis for as long as we possibly can. Finally, for anyone eating here for the first time, do try the home made scotch egg starter. It's wonderful!

Visited with a group of friends for Christmas dinner. Food was mediocre at best. Starter of mushroom risotto was like soupy rice with stock cube and truffle flavour. Main course veg - some overcooked and some under cooked. Horseradish dumpling with beef was like glutinous slime. Service was ok but any negative comments seemed to be ignored. The restaurant wasn’t busy so the kitchen staff could have done better.

From start to finish Barry and Andrew couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating for our group of friends! They helped make a special occasion a really memorable one and all our friends were delighted. Thank you also to your team who looked after us so well too. We all left contended with the delicious meals and look forward to similar gatherings in the future.

When we got in the taxi from the station and mentioned to the cab driver he was taking us to The Dining Room we were suitably reassured when he said " you'll do well there - excellent food". He wasn't wrong. We were warmly welcomed by Barry and taken to our table in a very smart looking alcove. The decor brings a relaxed ambience into the eating experience, and we settled in very quickly. We had a three course lunch and ate very well indeed. Chicken parfait to start for both, wonderfully smooth and with warm bread - portion size was bang on, just enough to preamble into the main. A great start. The main was definitely the highlight ( as it should be). A wonderful chicken supreme packed with Mediterranean flavours, and we got a wide variety of sides ( included inthe price) to compliment the main, including potato two ways! Being a carb aficionado I was pleasantly suprised. Dessert was equally satisfying, the caramel ice cream I had was smooth and generously portioned. My partner had the tiramasu, creamy, substantial and not drowned in masala wine as many are. By the end of a leisurely lunch we were very happy indeed. A word on the service - attentive but not intrusive. At no point did we feel we were being rushed through, Barry and Jackie were excellent throughout. Often, you feel like you're being bundled through a service - certainly isn't the case at The Dining Room, I found the service genuinely sincere and warm. We would recommend The Dining Room unreservedly.

Our second visit to The Dining Room was even better than the first, with the warm and friendly welcome, excellent food, good service and ambience. Thank you to the team for giving us another very enjoyable evening. If you haven’t tried this restaurant yet, it’s well worth a visit!

I visited here for lunch with 4 other family members and we were very disappointed. When the food arrived it was cold and we had to send it back. They reheated it and brought it back about 10 mins later. For the price they charge I expected much better than this as the quality of the food was not great. We will not return here again.

I had high expectations for the Sunday lunch having seen the reviews and pictures, however I was very disappointed. I had a starter of mushrooms which was lovely, but then the main course arrived. I had roast beef, it was tough and chewy. The cauliflower cheese which I was really looking forward to was lacking sauce and had obviously been sat under a heater. My partner had the vegan wellington option which was OK. The only thing we really enjoyed were the chips, but these were clearly frozen. The staff were very nice, unfortunately for the price the food is very poor and I will not be returning any time soon.

Absolutely amazing! Staff are so friendly, welcoming and attentitive! The atmosphere was also incredible, food was delicious, my kids had enjoyed every part of their first visit today! Thank you to everyone for your hard work and we will be back again soon!

Food was delicious and a great choice on the menu. Service was great - staff were friendly and helpful and we were served quickly. Would definitely recommend and hope to be back soon.

We visited twice over a weekend - once with a party of 14 for a family meal and next day with 5 for a meal with friends. The staff could not have been more helpful, happy and courteous and the food was excellent.

I was in for food on Thursday the 16th of September, the food is really fresh and out quick and the staff done an brilliant job, drinks arrived quickly as well

Staff are lovely, food wasn’t very nice, would rush to come back here, would only recommend if your on the outside of Kirkcaldy, nicer places closer to town.

My husband and I visited the Dining Room on Monday 6th September to celebrate our wedding anniversary and we were so impressed. From the moment we arrived, Andrew and Barry, the new proprietors, were incredibly welcoming showing us to our table and making sure we...

Really enjoyed lunch here recently. The food, service and location were perfect for our get together. Would recommend.

Sorry too say but the meal was terrible we all had too send our main courses back and what we reordered wasn’t brilliant the men had soup which they both said was tasteless and my second course after the first one went back was steak...

The Dining Room has reopened under new management and mostly it is better. The old restaurant had very good, quite upmarket, food but the staff were inexperienced or poorly trained and lacking in confidence. This made them come across as gruff and unprofessional. They often...

I visited this restaurant with high expectations after reading the reviews. Unfortunately it did not meet those expectations. My husband ordered the soup and fish as they had run out of steak pie. The soup arrived and was very watery. I had the toasted brioche...

Newly reopened restaurant. The new owners have made this one of my favourite places to visit again. food great, service great, and becoming our "regular" Friday night haunt!

Ate there tonight for the first time. One of us is vegetarian and was pleased to see there were lots of choices rather than being an afterthought. The staff were so nice and service was prompt. We were both treated very well. Felt very safe...

Fantastic food, excellent service from staff who were well presented and keen to help! Food was tremendous and plentiful. This has definitely stepped up from the dining room of previous years. We shall definitely return. Locals should definitely try this it will most definitely give...

This restaurant has recently been taken over by new owners. The lunch we had was excellent, served by attentive staff. The food was delicious and it was lovely to see the place busy again.

We were totally bowled over by our first visit to The Dining Room. A lovely atmosphere, with a great menu and fab food to follow. We had the most welcoming, warm and friendly service. We’ll definitely be back. We highly recommend it…so go visit and...

Popped in for an afternoon lunch with my wife and daughter last week. It has now been open for around 2 weeks and the food and service was excellent. Highly recommend it for anyone who lives in Kirkcaldy or surrounding area! Congratulations on opening up...

Excellent food. Excellent staff booked another table for Sunday before I left definitely a must try and the best I nave found in kirkcaldy

Loved every bit of our meal last night. The food was amazing and catered to our gluten, dairy egg free and veggie needs. The staff were welcoming and friendly. We will defiely be back. Next time I'm going to try and leave room for desert!

Visited here for the lunch menu last week, sat outside and it was great/ chilled atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and were great with my baby daughter especially the chef who kept waving to her through the door. Lunch menu is great value for money...

Well well well, where do i start? The horrific decor in the bar? The overpriced food and drinks? The incompetent staff? The Dining Room was me and my partners go to! Delicous well priced food, a nice cosey bar with welcoming locals and staff over...

First visit on Friday after reopening under new ownership. It was a very pleasant dining experience. Excellent food with friendly, professional staff. It’s lovely to have in town a restaurant where I can confidently take friends.

I heard that The Dining Room had reopened under new management and decided to go for lunch there. I spent most of my career as a butler so, when it comes to eateries, I am notoriously difficult to please! Firstly, I was very pleasantly surprised...

I miss the old pub. It used to be a Barry Pub. There I've said it. What we used to know as The Dining Room, a warm and welcoming , restaurant and bar. Felt more like The Waiting Room last week, devoid of any atmosphere...

Just home from having a delicious meal at the dining room, so happy it has opened again, the service was excellent, everyone was very attentive. Good luck to the owners, had the pleasure of chatting to them.I will be back.

The food and service today have been really fantastic. The team were very attentive and made myself and my mum feel at home. The food was delicious, looking forward to the next visit.

We went to the bar for a drink first. The first thing I notice was the unpleasant smell. My husband ordered our drinks. It took two bar staff to work out the bill. It was a shocker £6.45 for a vodka and draught Diet Coke,...

We were passing through and decided to stop at the first restaurant we saw that’s how we ended up here. We should have booked they said but would make room for us. We were shown to what I can only describe as the worse table...

We were warmly welcomed by Natalia. Premises very clean and comfortable. Menu, service and food excellent, will be back.

A first lunch visit to this very decent restaurant in an area where good fresh food is not easy to find. Good butternut squash soup with coconut and chilli and one of the best beef burgers I have eaten in years .....full of flavour and...

Went on a Sunday with visitors. Cannot fault meal and everyone enjoyed. Did not have the wine we requested but gave us an alternate more expensive one for the same price, which we appreciated. Was a pity that there was only one other table occupied,...

Great selection of food, well prepared and tasted fantastic. Good drink selection as well. Service was next to none: staff was friendly and very attentive. Would highly recommend

Fairly quiet place but the food was very good, also a good choice at a good price. Very helpful bar staff who took our drinks through from the bar area to our table. Looking forward to a return visit.

What an amazing experience! My first time at the dining room and it was lovely, the food was amazing and our server Natalia was an absolute pleasure! She is a credit to you!! We will definitely be back!!

I can honestly say I have not one negative thing to say about my visits to the dining rooms. The place is always spotless, the food amazing, service top class and always a pleasant atmosphere. I visit regularly as I stay very close, but even...

I am a regular visitor to Dining Room and can honestly say there's no better food to be had in Kirkcaldy and surrounding areas. Therefore, when it came to taking my daughter out for Christmas dinner it was a certainty. Although it was very busy,...

These guys are amazing and help us out at Christmas by offering the team a night time meal from the lunch menu (it's a relatively small charity so every little helps). For Kirkcaldy the food is more fine dining, though only from some aspects. I...

Was greeted by a very grumpy waiter/owner I dont know...growled at us do you have a booking we replied no he reluctantly sat us down, the place was empty lol...a family of 5 came in just after us he growled the same at them, place...

We both felt the food was very nice, however, the portion size, for the price, wasn’t to our taste. Pun intended. We both has beef bourguignon. One slice of carrot and one slice of parsnip, small amount of mash and the stew in a silly...

Visited this restaurant last night with my husband and our friend. Should have seen the signs as it was empty and we were the only diners. Starter of black pudding and chorizo Bon Bon’s consisted of 3very small balls of back pudding ( chorizo was...

We were passing through Kirkcaldy so dropped in to The Dining Room. They have private car parking, always a bonus, the place is modern and spacious and the staff friendly. Those are the good bits. Not so good, there was no set menu although one...

I have visited the dining room a few times now. The first few times everything was spot on but its got progressively worse when I've been. Firstly, I cannot fault the food...its always very nicely cooked. We booked for the Dining Room last friday only...

went for a family meal for my mums 70th . place is lovely , waiting staff were 1st class but i can only give 3 stars as the adult mains were fine but nothing special , the kids macaroni was disgusting .... if it wasn’t...

I 've been here many times and sampled just about everything on the lunch menu. I ordered the spicy pasta with steak strips , which I have had twice before and which is usually delicious. When it arrived, I was really disappointed. It was definitely...

My boyfriend and I love coming here every so often for a evening meal and we have yet to be disappointed. We like the choice on the menu and tend to switch things up every time we come. Its a small intimate restaurant and we...

gemütliche Atmosphäre, nettes Personal und gutes essen. Preis-Leistung stimmt. Obwohl wir nicht reserviert hatten haben wir einen Tisch bekommen.

Just got home from The Dining Room. Two burgers, sides & drinks for less than £30. Homemade burgers, chunky chips, smoked cheese & bacon ... yummy 😋. Only down side was how empty the place was ..... use it or lose it Kirkcaldy .... amazing...

From initial phone call to book the table to paying the bill we could not fault the service or quality of the food. Staff were friendly and accommodating to our requests. The food was beautiful presented and tasted delicious. My husband has the black pudding...

Me and hubby popped in here first time nice decor nice staff cheap lunch menu and the black pudding starter was nice the pate had the chutney spread all over top of pate what if u didn’t like it? No butter with oat cakes but...

Our first visit to the Dining Room in over 3 years was for our 35th wedding anniversary, and we enjoyed every morsel. I have several food intolerances, but was able to enjoy a starter and main without worrying - the staff were extremely helpful and...

A great Sunday lunch,so much quality compared with restaurants in Kirkcaldy mostly pub grub this was like a quality restaurant with pub prices, can't wait to go back.

Enjoyed a family lunch at the Dining Room today. Much nicer inside than it looks outside. The lunch menu was such good value for delicious food beautifully presented and just right portion sizes. We were very impressed and will definitely go back. Highly recommended.

We were visiting relatives in Kirkcaldy and chose the Dining Room for lunch after reviewing their website. We are so glad that we did. Everything about the experience was top-notch – the welcome from Colin, the manager, the dog friendly policy in one of the...

Had a wonderful meal here last week. Best thing they serve lunch till 4 pm. Great if you are out and about for the day. We arrived after 2pm. Service and ambiance of the place just perfect. The food wonderful. My husband had duck cooked...

The decor of the place is lovely, we had soup which was very nice .Then we had ordered steak .the presentation was lovely but the steak was very tough.Which I was only able to eat half. But the restaurant was very clean and the girl...

Went to the Dining Room restaurant twice during our 2,5 week stay and loved the food and the very friendly service! The menue is diverse and the actual food was delicious. We really loved the atmosphere, although during our first visit we thought the music...

I tend to agree with an earlier review, that the restaurant has become more expensive. We went on fathers day and were surprised to discover we couldn't have the lunch menu. No where on the website did it mention a father's day menu. The website...

I ordered the Duck and was shocked for about £16.00 I had two small pieces of duck breast. I pointed this out to waitress and her response was thats the size of portion you get. I have visited this restaurant several times and have enjoyed...

Once again we visited this restaurant on our last night in Scotland. There were 4 of us and we all enjoyed our food. The battered haddock was fabulous and the sticky toffee pudding delicious. We all enjoyed our meal.

Mother’s Day meal out, they did accommodate changes to party as numbers had increased from the original booking. The meal was lovely, my only complaint is the Black pudding and chorizo starter was too small but maybe I’m being too greedy, it was delicious. Service...

Food good but I feel it’s getting a tad expensive . The deserts and good but I thought very expensive

Excellent lunch, had pate, steak ciabatta, other half had soup and fish and chips, excellent sized portions,maybe even a little big, no problems with changing oat cakes to an alternative, mushroom soup was very good, great value for money will definitely be back again.

Recently visited for a dinner. The food was all freshly prepared and the standard and quality was excellent. The Host who I presume is the owner was most attentive and very friendly. I strongly will recommend this restaurant to all my friends and hope to...

Food was excellent, great choice and all freshly made. Started with the black pudding bonbons with chorizo then the smoked haddock. I didn’t have dessert but everyone else in the group did and they all enjoyed it. Service was good, staff were friendly and made...

Despite being there with a relatively large group, the service was friendly and efficient. The lunch menu was interesting and good value and the food well cooked and presented. Must go back for dinner sometime.

Eaten here a few times over the years, not the largest menu to choose from but that is not always a bad thing. The food was very tasty and well presented and the service was very good. I thought the starter was quite small (black...

Quiet January Thursday night and we were in the area so decided to pop in for tea. Unfortunately there were a few things not available from the menu. The menu isn’t overly large but had a variety of dishes. But it didn’t put us off....

We had our works Christmas night out on Saturday 16th Dec. The service was first class and apart from one small hiccup our meals were all good. After our meal we all moved through to the bar and even though the restaurant was closing we...

First visit here in a long time and was pleased that we chose this restaurant for our family pre Christmas lunch. Attentive service from the time we walked through the door, well laid out dining rooms and a varied menu. We all chose the Festive...

This is a really nice friendly and enjoyable place to have a meal. The service is really good, the ambience is great, the food is really good and the presentation is great. The prices are very competitive, it is definitely a place to visit frequent...

Really enjoyed my first visit to this restaurant. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Good variety on menu and really decent value . The food was excellent quality. Slight delay in being served which was immediately dealt with by management without being raised by ourselves. Will...

First time here. Have to say super impressed. Has a very upmarket feel to it. Not your run of the mill chain restaurants, so if your after something a bit special I would come here. I had the scallops for starter, the most succulent I've...

My husband and i and two friends went for a meal it was amazing danty wee starters and just enough for a mains so you could have two or three courses.Been twice first time at christmas wasnt too impressed think maybe cause they had big...

Dined here with my two adult children and the food was fantastic. The seafood linguine is amazing! Never been disappointed and would highly recommend.

We were four for dinner and were all thrilled with the experience. Warm friendly service. Delicious starters of a rich flavourful chicken liver pate, Scrumptious smoked salmon and surprisingly yummy black pudding bombs. Mains were equally delicious and well presented . We did not have...

The Dining Room was recommended to us and first impressions were good. Nice ambience, good service etc. I couldn't eat the steak burger as it was bloody inside & there was blood/juices on the plate. It was cooked further but came back out with blood/juices...

Decor has been refreshed since our last visit, making the place feel more spacious and lighter. Also, our overall experience was better. The staff who served us were more confident and therefore more relaxed and friendly. Food is almost always very good here and tonight...

NEW FAVOURITE RESTAURANT!! Came in for dinner tonight and was blown away by the fantastic service front of house but most importantly for me, the food! OMG, the food is to die for! I had the vegetarian spring rolls for starter and the vegan chickpea...

I’ve been to the Dining Room many times as it’s very local to me. Just don’t seem to go that often these days. It just gets better. Visited last night, and had a great meal. I like the menu, as it’s got enough to choose...

We had the lunch special, which is great value for the food provided ( appetizer and entree ). The spring roll was amazing and my chicken burger was also great. Lots of fine details and the visual appearance of the plates were stunning .

Nice and quite dinning room with lounge bar next to it. Food was excellent and fair prices but is worth it. Would go back again staff friendly and polite.

Turned up unannounced on a Tuesday night. Four people in the place, so no rush. We ordered quickly, there were 3 of us. Our food arrived 45 mins later... we didn’t have a problem waiting as we weren’t in a hurry. However, my penne pasta...

Had an absolute ball in The Dining Room. Nice choice of food. Lovely decor inside. Food reasonable. Our Waiter, Colin, absolutely brilliant - made our night. Definitely recommend this place and would go there again.

We went here for lunch, for a treat. Nice food , good sized portions. Desserts were very tasty. Good offers for two or three courses, also offer good evening offers. Would like a drinks menu, especially for beers. Would recommend for a change. The decor...

evening meal was absolutely excellent customer service excellent the food ordered was very tasty piping hot the home baking macaroni was excellent large portions excellent customer service really romantic setting for couples

Visited here for the first time after being persuaded by my mum and gran to give it go as they are regular customers. Food was delicious, good sized portions and a good selection between the standard menu and the specials. The cocktails were fab with...

Visited this restaurant recently midweek for an impromptu night out. Food as always was lovely with the black pudding bonbons a real hit. The service was a definite 10, very attentive, friendly and professional. This is one of our favourites and always delivers.

Good selection of dishes and a fine bottle of champagne for a treat to each other. Waitress could not do enough for us and the guy who I think was the manager looked after us well

Just had an amazing lunch food amazing and service/staff couldn’t be nicer. Fantastic value for money if you haven’t tried it already give it a go am sure you will love it as much as we did.

After a long journey on the golf course we endet up in here! Friendly staff! Really great delicious food!!!
