Exceptionally average. Was expecting far better. Good Cullen skink. Nothing overly special but a good classic starter. Venison salami was something we'd not had before, enjoyed but bland. "Chicken Supreme" was not chicken Supreme, but instead was a roast dinner. Was nice enough for what it was, but not as advertised. Pear accompaniment was not ripe and had barely any taste. Prawn tagliatelle was far too heavy, tasted and felt like a bucket of cream on the pallet. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH THE PRICETAG. Menu was severely lacking in our opinion with absolutely nothing special or interesting. Disappointed.

We had an amazing evening at Forgan's, we read a review on TripAdvisor and it looked great and we were not disappointed. We turned up at 8pm without a booking and were so lucky they found a space for us. Food was amazing, I had a flatiron steak and my girlfriend had salmon. Our server Kelsey was outstanding, a wonderful bubbly & friendly personality and super attentive. We upgraded to truffle fries and we both had desert: sticky toffee pudding & apple tart. At 9:30pm a ceilidh band started and we had an amazing evening of live music. Highly recommend a visit to Forgan's when you visit St Andrews.

We visited Forgan’s St Andrews last week for a new year’s treat. We were a party of 8 adults, 2 babies and a 4 year old. We had paid a deposit of £120 to secure our booking beforehand. It took up to 15 minutes for someone to ask if we wanted a drink and on your menu it says to ask your server for cocktails that may be on your menu. I asked for a spicy margarita and was told ‘no chillies so can’t do it’ I asked for a Bloody Mary but was told you don’t have Tabasco. Two very basic ingredients for a kitchen so was a little disappointed in this. We ordered 2 alcoholic cocktails and 2 non alcoholic cocktails due to two members of the party being heavily pregnant. After waiting 40 minutes for drinks to arrive, 1 cocktail came out with two straws and 2 cocktails had one straw. The man seemed very confused and named the cocktail but didn’t specify whether this was alcoholic or not, after asking he nodded and put it down in front of me. I tried the cocktail and could taste alcohol. My two friends who both are pregnant were told that their cocktails were non alcoholic but they in fact had alcohol in them. I had to find someone to complain too. Meanwhile the last cocktail still had not arrived. We waited a significant amount of time for this mistake to be fixed. We still had not ordered our food. When our server came to take the order we were told that we couldn’t get so much of what was on the menu and the server could not actually tell us exactly what we could not order. It was a shambles. So we played it safe and a majority of us ordered a burger, one tagliatelle and one ox cheek dish plus starters. The bread was stale it was inedible. When the main meals eventually came out, a lot of the meals were cold as if they had been sitting for a long duration. My friend who is pregnant had a tagliatelle with prawns and refused to eat it as she tried a prawn and it tasted undercooked. A lot of plates were left untouched which is shocking at the prices of your restaurant. The server came over and did not ask us how are meal was, the plates were just being taken away. One of us said to the server ‘excuse me this tagliatelle is cold and the prawns are not cooked’ and he said ‘aw sorry’ and walked away with the plate? Just not good enough. A child’s dessert was ordered and this was not brought out at all. After complaining to what seemed like a manager, she did discount the meal and apologised. I feel so disheartened that this was always a place where myself and my partner would come every year for Christmas and summer holidays for good food and service. Sad to have had this experience as I do not feel as though I’d return now. Extremely disappointing. It’s a lot of money for poor service and poor food.

Had the worst fish and chips in history, we had my wife’s 50th birthday party there today. Over 1 hour to get drinks to the table. They had no tagaletelli and swapped out with mac and cheese with a few prawns. I sent my fish back as there was zero fish in the batter and the second time it was worse at £19😳 I felt quite angry as Birdseye would have been better. I normally do the British thing and don’t complain but as I was in Scotland and hungry so I made a complaint. Heard multiple tables complaining and to be honest it was full of customers and for two chefs and limited staff if they had been honest and said we have limited staff it’s soup for starter and burgers or fish and chips done well on the menu that would have been great. 😔 not a great start to 2025

Started visiting Forgan’s over 10 years ago, but a recent visit was a disappointment. Has become much more expensive for small portions, sides arrived 10 mins after mains, table was very wobbly, someone kept fiddling with the music, and we even heard one of the waiting staff tell another “I’m off for two weeks” “where are you going?” “No where - just away from here” - not a positive review from the staff themselves!

Just like the Ferry restaurant. The food was mmmm ok. Fries I thought were a little overcooked, pretty solid, and the possibility of a lost tooth.. Flat iron steak was a little over charred/ dirty griddle. Service was disappointing, a little rude, and disinterested, we all thought. Over heard another table saying the same. Will not be back and will not recommend it. Setting is lovely.

A really disappointing visit. We have been coming for many years and were looking forward to a lovely birthday meal. Unfortunately standards have slipped massively. Firstly the communication when booking the meal was very very poor. We made a request regarding bringing a cake etc which was just totally ignored. The menu is extremely limited and not what it used to be, then coupled with the fact that allot of the items were unavailable last night made the options very very narrow. I've never seen a menu without a chicken option.. ever! The menu selection was so poor my 60 year old mother had to choose the burger for her dinner like a teenager - embarrassing. Said burger was then served raw to her after asking for it to be well done, along with the 2 other burgers that had been ordered. The food that was served was not as described on the menu at all. The price point is way of the mark for what is being delivered. "Artisan bread with whipped butter" The butter is just butter in foil - Nothing whipped about it. If you are not serving whipped butter at least put the butter in a dish and not just throw a few foiled butters on a plate. "Harrisa Hoummus with Crostini" No Crostini was served - just a standard piece of bread - Not even toasted. Kids Cheesy Garlic Bread - No Cheese Mushroom sides for the steaks were served cold. Hair found on the chips that were served with the raw burgers. The toilets were also absolutely disgusting. Even the stairs leading up to the toilets were disgusting. There was a catalogue of errors that just became completely embarrassing. We actually wondered if the main course had been served to us deliberately raw and with hair after initially complaining regarding the starters. This all surely couldn't be a coincidence or are we just the most unlikeliest diners to set foot over the door? The staff however I must say were lovely and dealt with our concerns appropriately and the service was great. Vini our server was excellent and really done his best given the circumstances. All in all the birthday meal was a disaster and all round embarrassing from start to finish. Half of the family left hungry and after years of being customers last night will unfortunately be our last.

Apart from the fantastic service from Vinni there were far too many problems. 3 x Artisan breads with whipped butter uneaten as the breads were not Artisan, the butter was not whipped but little portions in wrappers you would get at a greasy spoon. The Crustini was not toasted. The haggis bon bons that were served up were the size of grapes. 3 x well done burgers were presented virtually raw and again inedible. 1 was also full of hairs !!!. 1 x potato cheese & onion pie with no onions and the accompanying broccoli stems served on top of the pie. 2 x sides of mushrooms served in very hot platters but somehow they were stone cold ?. This venue was picked by my daughter as it was her birthday and she had visited several times in the past with good experiences, but this one completely ruined her birthday.!. 4 people out of 8 (one 4 years old) were left hungry with 3 only having a desert due to the starter and mains, and 1 only having a starter and desert. We were told there would be 40% of the bill, but somehow even after our £80 deposit was taken off there was still £201 to pay !?.

Had seen some of the other reviews and was considering eating elsewhere, however the decor looked great and the atmosphere inside seemed lively, so we decided to settled with our choice. We were seated by a lovely young man named Diego who told us despite it being busy they had room for us if told we understood that there was a potential wait for the food. We had a ‘market menu’ offered to us with Fish Cakes and a fish burger on it, these were both really good and presented nicely. Wasn’t too long of a wait and our server even sorted out a small issue with our drinks within a matter of minutes. Apparently this market menu is going to change every few weeks or so, which if we are ever back in St Andrews would be cool to see what else they come up with.

We were a family group of 12 adults and a beautiful guide dog. This was a special get-together of family from Australia, USA, and Scotland. As a large group booking, they asked us a few days earlier to pre- book our main course order which we did. When we arrived and sat down, the waiter came to take our drinks order, and when one of us asked for Fanta, he snapped back with aggression and rudeness (maybe he thought he was funny but none of us thought so) we all got annoyed with him. We asked to take q picture of the group and he sniggered at the phone given to him, we took it back and gave him another phone to take the picture with. When the food order came they got it all wrong and tried to imply we ordered it, so we showed them the list and confirmation and they apologised and proceeded to correct the order, which took even longer to reach us. The food was of a high standard and delicious- steaks/steak sandwich, burgers, haggis, fish n chips. When they were clearing the table, one of the waiters was chewing gum (not accepted in a supposedly fine dining). We ordered desserts the same waiter was more obnoxious. Unanimously we agreed they do not deserve the service charge of 10%. We asked for the bill and the same waiter brought the bill and kept hovering around. He then realised he was annoying us so moved away. 5minutes later he returned just as we're about to pay to say sorry the manager has given a discount for the error made with the food order. We wanted to also remove the 10% service charge as they did not deliver a fine dinning service, but didn't want to stay any longer. With the guide dog, he commented quite rudely (thinking he was funny) about the dog about him lying on the floor, and avoiding stepping on him (how careless is this waiter). Also, common sense would have meant the staff should have brought water for the guide dog (signage on entrance that only guide dogs are allowed). Despite the diabolically poor service, we had a brilliant time with the whole family. We definitely will not recommend the restaurant because of their awful service.

Great atmosphere but inedible food. We got a hockey puck of a wagyu burger, a well done steak (asked for medium rare), a pasta dish with a sandlike texture throughout it that we couldn’t identify, and one edible seafood pasta. I’ve never sent a meal back in my entire life and have a moral revulsion even to the idea of doing so as a former restaurant employee, but I couldn’t eat this burger and can no longer hold my moral high ground. We’ll actually I didn’t send it back because I wasn’t confident the kitchen could replace it with something worth the money they were going to charge me.

Forgan's, St Andrews - September 2024 We recently had the pleasure of visiting the charming town of St Andrews, Scotland, while visiting our son, Kiro, studying philosophy at the university there. The journey from home, London, is quite long, but it is well worth it when you arrive in this beautiful, historic town with enchanting streets. On Sunday, 22nd September 2024, after a day of exploring, we stopped for a late lunch at around 4pm and came across Forgan’s. The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a stylish, urban-industrial feel, immediately catching our eye. The staff was amicable and welcoming, which added to the pleasant atmosphere. The food was decent, though pricey for what we ordered—fish, chips, and burgers. At £160 for four people, we did feel it was pretty overpriced for what we received, especially considering the relatively simple dishes. One minor point: while Forgan aims for an upmarket vibe, the music was surprisingly loud, slightly detracting from the relaxed dining experience. St Andrews is a beautiful town; we’ll be back to explore more. Forgan’s is a lovely spot with excellent service and a stylish interior, but the price was steep for the offering. Thank you for the experience!

Great looking place, tasteful decor. Our group of 4 were seated quickly for lunch on a weekday without prior booking. Staff were reasonably friendly but it took a long while to get their attention. That's fine, j can understand if they were busy. What makes me not want to return however is the COLD food. Two out of the three dishes we ordered were cold: the haggis and fish n chips. For such a fanciful place that promotes itself as a fine dining experience, the food is completely let down by the fact that it's cold. Also there's a discretionary service charge. I asked it to be removed because I wasn't happy about the food, and it was done although the staff seems rather surprised by the request. They shouldn't be. I feel that the restaurant is banking on British people being uncomfortable enough to ask for that to be removed. Why not just increase the menu price by 10%? That's what it's trying to do anyway. It seems that the restaurant is replying to all reviews, so I'm hoping they would see this and use this as a positive note to improve upon.

Exceptionally good bar with a great Ceilidh on a Friday night. Bar staff are top-notch and really know their trade!

We were seated promptly and after an 11 minute wait our drinks were taken. Our drinks arrived around 5 minutes later. Our food order was then taken. We waited around 25-30 minutes for our starters to come (only 3 of our party of 6 had starters) The price was very high (£7 for 3 haggis bon bons!!!) We then waited around another 45 minutes for our mains. It took the waiter a long time to clear our starters. The mains came, again the price that we paid was extremely high compared to the portions that we received. I paid £28 for the Putter’s plate that came with an item missing! (We never got this as no waiter bothered to come and check on our table!) The pork loin on the bone was very dry and flavourless. Please, if you’re going to put a piece of meat on the bone on your menu, cook it right. The waiters then very quickly decided to try and clear our table when members of our party had not even finished. The drinks selection was fantastic and the drinks that we ordered were very good. Overall, the service was poor, food was poor and the price was exceptionally expensive. I’m not a fan of restaurants who use a team of 5-7 chefs in the kitchen and produce food at that price and quality! Also having 7 members of the waiting staff present and still having to wait so long for food to come and be cleared off our table. I feel that the portions should be bigger, also a closer eye to quality control on food that is leaving the kitchen. If the service was a bit quicker, I don’t feel that this review would be so poor.

So small portion and big prices. The stack was ridiculous small. You pay for stack and shere it with other...

The sunday menu is very limited & we were disappointed with the quality given the price & others recommendations.

We visited as a family at the weekend and the food was very good! The colouring in crayons with the kids menu was a nice touch to keep my little boy amused! I would definitely visit again :)

Nice interior indoors and good atmosphere. Food was good and big portion. Staff was friendly but it took ages to get the bill and then time again to actually pay.

Service good but quality of food not so good. Distinctly average. Cullen skink only had minimal smoked fish in it. Fish and chips not crispy. Batter was soggy. Caesar salad good though.

I would visit this restaurant again, but my seafood linguine was bland and creamy. I would suggest making the portion smaller, but add in some bisque and lemon to enhance the flavour. Maybe even some chilli flakes. The music was a bit too loud, which kept us from a nice conversation over the meal.

Had lunch at Forgan’s whilst visiting St Andrews. The location is not that easy to find as the entrance is narrow but once you get there, you get all the benefit from being further from the Main Street. The place is comfortable, not too many seatings so it doesn’t feel crowded. Typical Scottish food available and of quality. Great service by Bernadette. I’d recommend easily.

Delicious fish and yummy sticky toffee pudding, Caesar salad could have been slightly bigger, cocktail and wine were delish

The restaurant was beautiful. Service was very slow. We had the charcuterie board, asparagus and haggis balls for starters and everything was good. My husband and I ordered sirloin. We ordered it medium rare and it came out medium well. Steak was also extremely tuff and difficult to cut. For the price it was garbage. My father had a pasta dish with fish which was good and my mother’s hamburger was good. Definitely overpriced for the quality of the steaks and service wasn’t good. I would not recommend or go back.

This is our second visit to Forgan’s and it did not disappoint. Vini was great - very attentive and the food was brilliant as usual. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Great menu, first class service ( Bernadette was very friendly and helpful) and sitting in the smaller room kept down the noise!

This place left us with a not great feeling. Our waitress, who I cannot recall her name. Was incredibly rude, it felt like we were bothering when she took our order, she never checked up on us. And everything we ask or did for us, was felt like a burden to her. We felt really uncomfortable after that. The food was okay, okay because nothing extraordinary, just food. I am putting two stars because the only thing that I could say it was good, was the Cullen skink.

Beautiful restaurant but honestly, completely lacking in any kind of service aptitude. Where is the management in this place? Our waitress took a break right behind us eating her own dinner while we waited and waited for ours for over an hour. Someone came to ask us if we wanted dessert and we had to tell them we were still waiting for our dinner. Each dish was miserable. At least if it had been good we might have excused the wait. The women’s bathroom had no toilet paper. Overall, poorly run and the food was far below mediocre. Automatic gratuity added was an insult. I hate to leave a bad review, I know how hard servers usually work, but I had to leave this one for others to know.

I have been to Forgan's twice now and have loved it both times. I would recommend to reserve a table in advance due to their high demand. The staff is super friendly, helpful and cautious when it comes to allergies against certain types of food . I also love their food, especially there burgers are the most amazing burgers I have ever tried before. I can also recommend the toffee pudding as a dessert. I will definetely go back next time I visit St.Andrews

Good - clean rooms, shower good, staff are friendly and helpful where they can be. Breakfasts were good and plentiful. Bad - When you go on holiday, you want a good nights rest and sleep - I barely slept, the room was far too hot and stuffy, I turned the radiator off and opened the window but there are blinds at the window that bang against the window in the draft, defeating the object of having the window open, there is a boiler outlet pipe or something similar outside which was going on and off all night. There is a courtyard outside, you would expect people to come and go but staff stood outside the kitchens chatting and laughing, ok but not when you are trying to go to sleep, generally the guests returning were quiet, However far worse were the pillows, rock hard and flat, I asked for replacements, they were marginally and I mean marginally better but still really uncomfortable, reception did help with a sheet which helped when I didn't want the duvet on but still incredibly stuffy in the room, So laying there, with all this going on and then throw in hearing the next doors toilet flushing through the night and you aren't going to sleep. I ate in the restaurant on Friday night and felt really rushed, told in a very offhand way that the table was needed in about an hour and a quarters time, if they had said that at booking, I would have gone elsewhere, hate watching the clock as I eat. The starter came out lukewarm but was replaced, the food was ok, just ok. Explained all of this to a receptionist, she listened but explained that the pillows were all new, how new? - about 4 years old, surely they should have been replaced before now? I was told that no one has complained before which doesn't mean that they were happy with them, a lot of people don't complain, it's not a positive to not hear feedback. The hotel has a lot of good points and comfort is subjective, my experience wasn't very good as I wanted a rest. I was told to book a quieter room next time. Not very helpful.

The range at Fisher and Donaldson's has decreased substantially in the 50 years I have been a customer. Where are the Kinburn biscuits, the lemon biscuits, the perkin biscuits, the fruit crumpets?
