La Caverna in Moray

Nice food, came here a couple of times, went especially for cullen skink, had to send it back due to having no fish in it, it was soon rectified seconds bowl was delicious. Second visit in the week fish platter for two, lobster was tiny for two people and rubbery only gave us three langoustines meal for two, it was OK but needs improvement at 48.00 , wouldn't have it again, but overall good place to eat

A lovely place to have a meal.Stunning decor In what gives the Impression of being a Cave.The Staff were very attentive and the food was first class.So much so,we returned a couple of nights later,for another Evening Meal.Would highly recommend the Haddock and take your choice of the fantastic Desserts on offer.

We were tempted back this time to try their seafood platter. At £75 there was plenty of delicious food for two. We liked it here having already ate at their Salt Cellar two days earlier.

Welcomed by most friendly members of staff on both visits. Amazing choice of food and a most efficient and friendly service. We were delighted to stop there and enjoyed the thoughtful attention we received during our meal as well as the delicious choices from the menu.

There are much better places in Lossiemouth for a meal. Don’t know if it was due to Covid but did not enjoy it.

Location was very good, staff were okay, food was not very good. Pork was over cooked, smoked haddock lasagne contained very little smoked haddock and the Langoustines were over priced. I agree with a previous reviewer that there was only a token effort made regarding Covid safety. We will not be back.

A group of us stopped in here for a couple of sociable pints on what was a memorable day's drinking. Ideally located on the doorstep of Lossiemouth's East Beach, we sampled both the internal and external seating to take in some of the views. I definitely felt comfortable throughout my stay. The draught pints were part of a fine selection of world 'Beers', the atmosphere was quiet but very inviting (peaceful), the staff were friendly and the cost of the rounds, although slightly expensive, were justifiable as we truly felt that we were in one of the town's more upper market establishments. Although brief, this was a welcomed one hour stop during our day out. Fun had by all!

Had meal on Saturday evening, sat at outside table waited half an hour for our order to be taken two members of staff seemed more interested in chatting with two regulars at next table, main course (roast of the day-pork ) was ok but a bit tough but served with nice veg and tatties, sweet was much better delicious bannoffie tart with crispy base served with cream and ice cream my partner had lovely sticky toffee pudding which was well enjoyed. Pity about slow service don’t think I would rush back.

The food was nice and with a varied choice. Some surprisingly good wines on the list. Service was a little slow.

Food and location ok, but only token effort made with regard to Covid. So we won’t be going back in a hurry. You can sit in or out - we chose to sit out. You select your food choice off the board by the door. So at peak times people crowd around this, often unmasked and with little regard to social distancing. Orders must be placed and paid for at the bar. That involves going into the restaurant, round the one-way system but - at peak times - past occupied tables. So social distancing is again difficult. Table service, but staff are not masked.

Used to be very good food and service as the 1629. Went a lot for dinner. Not sure what happened, same staff, same owner still wanders in and out of the place, different name to the restaurant , food sucks now,. Less choice, doesn't have the freshness about it. Won't be going back in a hurry.

She had the lemon drizzle cake and coffee. Both very good, nice large slice of cake. I had gone all wobbly so went for the big breakfast, and I have to admit that it was outstanding in quality, perfectly cooked, well laid out. The sausages and black pudding were especially good. Well done folks, really enjoyable.

Visited here when we had the amazing heatwave in April. I sat outside in the sunshine with my dog while I waited for a friend to arrive, I sat for longer than half an hour without being approached by any member of staff. The waitresses walked past me a few times and I couldn’t get their attention. I had to wait until my friend arrived to go inside to ask for some service- and some water for my dog. I had a panini for lunch and it was very nice. Very disappointed in the service which is a shame because the area, (especially sitting outside on a sunny day) and the food is really good. Will maybe try again when I’m next in the area! (If the sun is shining!)

La Caverna bistro is set in an arched building decorated in stone and looks like the inside of a cave. This building has been around for well over 40 yrs ( I remember it as an 8 yr old being a newsagent). Now a bistro it offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. The food is cooked to order and claims to be sourced locally. If you are pressed for time or not wanting food you are still made welcome to sit and have a fresh coffee. There is a small seating area outside that looks over the East beach and is a perfect sun trap in the summer months.

Myself and my colleague had dinner here, the food was excellent and the service was fast and friendly. Great value for money.

Food was disgusting. Trio of puddings were black pudding, haggis and white pudding rolled up into balls and totally vile. whisky sauce was watery and the worst I’ve ever tasted. Burger was dry and tasteless. Will most definitely not be back.

Took my daughter here for her birthday lunch. Great atmosphere in this place and helpful friendly staff. My daughter and I chose 6 dishes of tapas, all dishes were well cooked and presented. Both had sweet which was absolutely delish. Lunch was £48 with a bottle of wine. Good value. Would definitely return and recommend.

I dined here on a quiet Tuesday night with my mum and dad. Seated straight away and given menus, the music was very loud and the strange array of lights they have are blinding and distracting. It was cold out the night we visited and the waitresses had propped open he door while they moved chairs in/out. Upon asking if the door could be closed we were barked at that they were moving chairs. We ordered drinks and starters and mains, one recommend by the waitress. I had Cullen Skink and my mum the three Scottish pudding starters. My serving was very small and not flavourful my mum enjoyed hers. Our mains arrived, my mum the Italian Job burger, me a chicken and prawn curry dish and my dad the Pollo Risotto. My mum again enjoyed hers, my dish was tepid at best but my dad found a hair in his risotto.Upon telling the waitress she was very apologetic. She didn’t remove the dish straight away but went on serving another table. She took it away and asked if he wanted something else. He plumped for the same burger as my mum. He enjoyed this and ate it but I was put off and only ate half of mine.My mum and myself finished ours but my dad had just started his. My mum decided to get a coffee while we waited and called over a waitress who gave her a dirty look and said she’d be with her in a second but ignored us until my mum placed her order with a second waitress. The original waitress then came over and asked how she could help. My mum explained she’d already ordered and the woman said fine and walked off leaving two dirty plates on the table. When my dad had finished she then came over and asked if we’d like desserts or coffees. We explained we’d ordered coffees and she then cleared the table.Upon paying they didn’t discount any of my dads meals and when he queried this the waitress told him that he’d had another meal instead. A total disappointment and certainly won’t be going back there soon.

Garlic mushrooms sautéed in garlic served on toasted Italian bread topped with rocket and Parmesan. Tasty but quite greasy and the bread was far too soggy. Morag Firth scampi served with hand cut chips, salad, peas and tartare sauce. It was okay, chips were good. Salad had dressing on it but not mentioned on menu. Couldn’t eat it...waste of food. Lasagne was okay.The service was friendly and efficient.It’s a lovely wee venue.

Forty-five minute wait for food (not at all busy so no excuse) to be given what was frozen fish (saw the guy go back into the kitchen with the packet) served undercooked. Whilst another meal offered we didn’t fancy another long wait so left.

Salt, La Caverna, Bridge 45, Guidi’s, whatever.

Its called the Salt Cellar now, rather than La Caverna.

Scelta quasi obbligata perché in zona non ci sono molti ristoranti . Bella la posizione, vicino al mare, proprietari di origini italiane, Un cameriere invece è toscano, anche se non si direbbe. In carta non c'è niente che ci attragga in modo particolare, per cui andiamo sulle tapas, di tre tipi diversi fatte di verdure, polpette e pesce, dignitose, anche se gli scampi erano bruciacchiati e troppo unti.

Lovely, Friendly staff.... quaint little restaurant. Wonderful food. I had the lasagne, perfectly sized and side salad dressed. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐

A lovely location on the seafront at Lossiemouth, although once inside the view can’t be seen. The tables outside would be great to sit at enjoying and afternoon coffee or glass of wine but I wouldn’t recommend ordering food unless it’s a pizza.

Had a really nice meal for my daughter's birthday. The prices are not too bad and the beer is good. They booked us in for a group of 9 which can sometimes be an issue in some places. Service took a while but it was busy so no complaints.

I believe this place is now called the salt cellar and it sure is well worth a visit. After having a very very bad experience at the beach bar the day before, this place sure did come out on top and should be higher on trip advisor.

We had intended eating at a selection of places during our visit to Lossiemouth, but we enjoyed our first meal so much that we booked for the following nights as well!

For anyone approaching (us) it wasn’t immediately obvious that ordering was done inside - we wanted to sit outside. After sitting for 10 min we had to ask for menus - at which point the set up was explained-order inside. On entering we were then met with ‘at the bar’ when we asked where to order - could have been a little more welcoming. Food was prompt - snacks all round, but overall disappointing.

Had an amazing meal tonight with my wife and 2 kids.

Reserved a specific table but it was occupied,instead waiter wanted to sit us in a worse table in the middle.It is a second time I reserved a window table but come and table was occupied.I told to the stuff the booking system does not work and a table she showed us does not has reservation tag which is mean she just seated us at any table. Disappointed, like food but service could be better.

After being shown to a table things didn't go that well. No menu's were brought over to us for a long period of time. The waitress finally appeared, took our order, both food and drink. The drinks arrived quickly. I ordered scampi, chips with salad and tartar sauce. No tartar sauce. Chips were undercooked and pasty looking. Not very nice and certainly not handmade.....unless McCain have a new range out. Scampi was okay. The coleslaw was cheap and tasteless. My other half had the LA Grill which looked like it had been thrown together. Chips....all 7 of them were undercooked and pasty. The bacon was extremely salty, onion rings were definitely cooked from frozen. The burger was from an economy range and was dry. A tiny portion of black pudding and a fried egg that looked like it had been dropped. To top it off we had extra drinks on charged to our bill, which was far too expensive considering the cheap use of ingredients. Needless to say we won't be going back.

What a fantastic meal tonight. So good we are going back before we travel home. Good food, good service and good atmosphere. We had a roast dinner which was good to perfection, a chicken chilli wrap that was excellent and crispy chicken with a sweet chilli sauce , very nice. The soup starter was very good. Good value for money...

This restaurant was called the Salt Cellar when we visited 2 weeks ago. Had a lovely Sunday roast dinner and pudding.

This review is based on our last two visits. We popped in for Sunday lunch shortly after their name change and the food was awful but we thought they may be having an off-day or staff problems in the kitchen so popped back in today,...

Stopped here for lunch and was pleased with it. Food was good and so was the service. The room is like a basement with an arched roof, very nice decor and setting. The music was just a bit loud for my taste. Reasonable prices.

I have eaten here before when visiting Lossiemouth so after a long drive from North Yorkshire I knew where to eat. I have always found the food to be very good. It is reasonably priced and the staff were helpful and friendly. I had the...

Can’t said it serves great food but it is very good and the service is friendly and efficient. The interior of the restaurant is very cosy and appealing.

Had a birthday dinner here. Food was lovely with a good choice and the staff were friendly and polite. Lovely setting. Would eat here again.

I was intrigued by the marketing, expecting a traditional restaurant, what I found was so much more. The night that I was there, it is clear that booking was essential. An excellent menu and wine list

Food is okay but not great i had a burger which wasn't very tasty and the sauce was in a metal thing on top looked really greasy to the point where I didn't even try it We had dessert first time I have experienced burnt...

Buona la zuppa di pesce (molto forte il sapore affumicato, la porzione large difficile da finire in due), troppo affumicato...

Belle salle voutée, de la place pour pouvoir manger sans être collé à d’autres clients, bonne ambiance, personnel très sympathique...

Lovely situation on beach front. Nicely prepared food.Helpful staff despite being busy. Always a favourite

Ate here one evening. The menu choice was very good. We had a little wait for our food because the...

Had a lovely lunch in here, fast friendly service, good selection on the menu and a specials board. Nice setting...

Great choice of dishes and all excellent quality, fresh and piping hot. Excellent fish dishes. Good staff. Good kids menu. Overall lovely evening. We'll be back.

We stopped in for lunch and to shelter from the rain. We didn't expect such excellent food. Cullen skink risotto for me was fantastic, while a simple toastie for our youngest was also on offer. Really enjoyed it and would be happy to make a return visit.

My first (and last) visit! It's a 90 minute drive each way so really has to be worth it and this place just wasn't. The staff were friendly to each other but not interested in the customers. Each main dish was served a space apart so we all ended up eating cold food while we waited. The serving staff apologised for the chef but they got the wine order wrong. I had breaded haddock and chips - the fish was tasteless, the chunky chips were soggy and cold but the plate was dangerously hot. The dessert was ok. Then at 9.30pm they started dragging tables and chairs around and we couldn't continue with our conversation because of their noise. We paid up and went home without leaving a tip, of course.

Das Essen war sehr gut, teilweise etwas knapp in der Grösse. Die italienischen Gerichte waren sehr authentisch und hervorragend gekocht.

A quaint unusual building. A big menu, but a little confusing, as they advertised an offer outside for early evening, but when we got the bill we were charged the normal prices. This was quickly rectified by another member of staff though when we pointed this out. Some of the staff (maybe new) seemed unsure of their duties and the service was slow, and once ordered our dish took a while to arrive, but we would try going again as the food was very tasty.

This restaurant has the same management and kitchen as 1629 so the food is of the same high standard but not so expensive. There is a relaxed and informal family atmosphere.We had seafood. The salmon with herb risotto was great as was the seafood pie.Staff were attentive and friendly.

Fantastic view. Very quiet and peaceful this morning. Staff friendly and chatty. Service speedy. All tables clean and tidy. Good value for money. Nice pot of tea too

We always use this restaurant when on holiday, it's great for lunch, dinner and breakfast. The staff are all friendly and make you feel welcome and always remember you. The menu is varied and reasonably priced well worth a visit.

L'endroit est très sympathique et bien décoré comme dans une cave. Le personnel était très accueillant et serviable. Cependant, nous avons été un peu déçu par la nourriture, surtout la salade au saumon qui n'était franchement pas très bonne.

Food was brilliant as usual. But service wasn't so good barr from the manageress. My main cross was obviously forgotten. When I asked 2 different waitresses they went away but never came back. Eventually they manageress came with my meal and an apology. Have to say the people with me had finished there meals. We then choose puddings. Yeah obviously one of those nights. When my bannofee tart appeared pastry case burnt on top and bottom. I said to the waitress who took it back without an apology. Then a few minutes later a new one appeared with the manageress and apology. They did take both items of our bill. I just felt the waitresses could have come back with an explanation.

Superb dinner,excellent value for money, we had early tea menu of Fish and Chips, bread and butter, sticky toffee pudding and custard and tea or coffee for an amazing £10.70 pp . The fish was fresh perfectly cooked. I cannot fault anything. The service we received was warm, friendly and impeccable by our lovely waitress Steph-nothing was too much trouble for her and although very busy was constantly smiling. Our experience was so good we are returning tonight as staying here for a couple of days. I would highly recommend. x

Great service staff could. It have been more helpful. Good range of food catering well for my coeliac daughter. Nice atmosphere located on the beach front. Everyone enjoyed meal and experience.

Four of us visited La Caverna on a Sunday evening on the recommendation of our B&B hosts. We'd walked 16 miles and were looking forward to a relaxing dinner. On arrival we were told that most of the menu was unavailable because "deep cleaning" was in progress and the main ovens had been switched off. We were offered pizzas, but for some reason no salads were available. It wasn't particularly late, and the restaurant was fairly quiet; there were at least four staff wandering about doing not very much. Our pizzas took ages to arrive, and three of the four pizzas had various incorrect toppings. In addition, the chicken was processed and unpleasant and two of the pizzas were extra hot, which we hadn't requested. We had to track someone down to settle the bill. Very disappointing.

The newly refurbished La Caverna offers a choice of three menus providing a choice to suit any palate the special Sunday evening menu providing a choice of two main courses and two puddings for £10 50.• My wife selected the chicken dish and I selected the roast beef main dish.• The portions were ample and both very tasty, in fact my roast beef was the best I have tasted.• The service provided was excellent, courteous, friendly, attentive in the pleasant atmosphere of what was once a salt cellar used to preserve and cure fish.• We highly recommend the La Caverna for the early evening meals or any meal however early evenings it is advisable to book.

Visited today very disappointed in service and food. Meal came wrong and main course taken away returned still wrong when waitress eventually came over to ask how meal was queried an ingredient that was missing she the returned with a side plate with missing ingredient but meal almost finished.

This is the 2nd time we have been to the restaurant The 1st time was not good sitting having a family meal when a Party arrived to celebrate a birthday We ended up having to be moved to finish our meal !!!But we have it a second chance And My Husband booked a meal for Mother's DayWhen we arrived we were sat at the front area till our table was ready,We bought a drink and we were handed the menu, and the woman took our order for food15 minutes later we were seated at the table We were chatting away and lost track of time Checked my watch and realised we had been in the restaurant over an hour I stopped a waitress and stated we had been there over an hour and not even had a starter She left to see what had happened The woman that took our order came over and apologised She had not put our order through when we arrived.I was as you can imagine not a happy bunny and we were hungry I felt like walking out. All we had to drink was 2 glasses of wine and hubby had 2 diet cokesWe were not charged for our drinksAnd did not get home till 10pm Our table was booked for 7pm I've told my Hubby to avoid this place from now on which is a shame as the food is lovelyJust a shame about the poor quality of Service from incompetent Miserable looking staff !!!!!

Went there for some food and kind of wished I hadn't, the staff asked if we would like a table for two and then left us to find one ourselves, another waitress then eventually came and gave us menus. We waited ages again and to the point of I told my hausband to not look at the menu anymore in case they thought we were not ready. I ordered the beef stroganoff which was good and my husband ordered the salmon which he thought was good but not enough so was grateful I didn't eat all mine. The waitresses al seemed to be very chatty with themselves to the point of shouting from one end to another. We then decided to order dessert and the menus were plonked in front of us, I ordered apple pie and my husband ordered the chocolate dessert with raspberry ice cream, they arrive and were unceremoniously plonked in front of us and did not even skip a beat. My apply pie was cold and I'm still trying to work out where the cinnamon was in the custard, my husband's was ok but we couldn't find the raspberry ice cream. I'm afraid I would not hurry back, staff were the biggest let down.

Dined here for a family evening meal. Nice food in pleasant surroundings. Good selection of dishes Worth a visit.

As usual meal delicious and very helpful staff.Made to feel welcome and at ease .G iven time to study menu

I have been in for a meal a few times and loved it this time i was very disappointed. I had a chicken and prawn curry.. the prawns were shrimps ,,,tiny wee things, but the sauce was lovely.Husbands fish was small also for the price.Staff are brilliant and nothing is to much for them. I will go back but will not have the prawn dish.

Great atmosphere great food, staff are friendly and they know their role within the very hefty busy environment, the restaurant is very clean. Service is second to none.

A sweet little spot which serves a wide range of food for lunch. The restaurant isn't too big so seating a group larger than 5 could be difficult. Quite a busy restaurant as it is in a prime location. All members of our party said the food was pretty good.

Excellent service from staff and they were very helpful. But when matched against similar local restaurants ,a little pricey for Lunch, and a poor selection of Veggie choices, other than Toastie type choices or a Baked Potato.

As above called in and we were met with a cheerful waitress who told us to sit wherever we wanted. She took our drinks order as she gave us the menus . Great choice and a light bite menu available as well. My wife chose their home made pate for her starter and the Cullen skink risotto for her main, she said pate lovely but the risotto was outstanding. I had home made minestrone soup for starter and a rump steak burger meal for my main. This was really good. We both had coffee to finish. Atmosphere and service was excellent as were the prices. Have been in there before but will certainly be back, probably give it a go in the evening to see what its like then.

We decided to go out for a run in the z4 to get lunch.I fancied fish & chips so we tried to go to castle gordon in Fochabers,unfortunatly it was fully booked so we had to look elsewhere.My wife suggested Lossiemouth as it is a seaside town we might findsomewhere to get good fish & chips.La Caverna does do fish & chips as well as a lot of other thingsBUT they also do cullen skink resotoWOW it is fantasticThe waitress told me it was a popular dish,no wonder it is so good and lots of it

We popped in for drinks on the 19th Sept. Friendly service and nucecambience. On the 21st we popped in for drinks and pizza. Delicious fresh pizza.

We popped in for a coffee and light snack and were very pleasantly surprised with the lovely atmosphere. Our waitress was very attentive, and even went as far as getting the recipe for the delicious soup we chose. We were so impressed we spent the afternoon in Lossiemouth instead of heading home and came back for dinner. We were not disappointed, the service again was impeccable, the warm friendly atmosphere and the food was exactly what we anticipated with their early evening special being exceptional value for money. We will be making a point of having a day out up here again so we can pay another visit

Really lovely food, big enough portions (slightly pricy, but we had fresh fish and we all thought it was worth to pay for!).The place is cosy and loved the atmosphere. A shame the staff were not very helpful or welcoming (just one of them talked to us with a smile in her face...).I'd say is good enough, anyway.

We'd heard that this place had changed and it certainly had. Lovely food, friendly staff nice sized portions at good prices - £23.50 for a main course each and two real ale shandies...

We visited La Caverna in the early evening. The staff were pleasant and the surroundings fine, although we were put very close to the kitchen, despite there being other tables available.My husband ordered steak pie which was fine, with mash and vegetables but my beef stroganoff was completely lacking in onions, mushrooms or any discernible taste of paprika. As such, it was very bland and the beef was quite tough. At £12.95 it wasn't good value at all.Wouldn't go back.

I had not been to La Caverna for years and was most impressed with the high vaulted ceiling and the service.

Lovely restaurant with great variety of choice. Unfortunately I usually go with a disabled person and access is difficult. There is always a large 4 x 4 Range Rover parked right at the door which I presume must belong to a member of staff. Very good though

Gorgeous interior, lovely atmosphere and right across from the beach. Fantastic service by Erin -what a lovely person. Very attentive and great for a laugh without being over bearing. The food was incredible! We were lucky enough to sample the Cullen Skink. It was to die for. Haven't tasted anything as yummy in a long time. Everyone ate every drop and wanted more. For mains we ordered the roast of the day, a burger, the pasta and the goats cheese tart. Generous portions of fantastic food. Everyone was very happy. Will be back for sure!!!!

Firstly this is solely my experience and 100% genuine.I have recently been here for a meal.I had a starter of soup of the day ...which was ok but just ok ,I have had worse and wasnt cheap £4.50.Main ,meal was a disaster......I had North Sea Haddock......after waiting for 25 mins for the meal it eventually came ...and it was real disappointment.The portion in my view was too small as was the soup dish too .On a positive note the restaurant is in a prime location on the sea front and very pleasantly decorated with nice waitresses.However the food has let this restaurant down badly.I did speak to other clients who also said they were disappointed.

Ottima cena a base di aragosta e salmone. Ambiente curato e accogliente.Assolutamente da non mancare se si è in zona.

Finally, a decent restaurant in Moray. Just visited with my wife and thoroughly enjoyed an early evening dinner. Excellent service, greeted with a friendly face and attentive service throughout. An extensive menu with majestic fresh fish choices and huge variety of other treats. Superb cosy atmosphere at a reasonable price. Can't wait to return. Thank you.

Quiet atmosphere with nice small bar. Food choice was good and reasonably priced. Situated on the coast with the beach close by.

Ate there last week, uncomfortable plastic chairs. Husband had seafood pasta which was very good. I chose poached salmon salad. Fish was hot and slapped on top of the most uninspiring salad. Drinks were expensive, for that price I expect better service and more comfort. We won't be back

1629 and la caverna all together,lovely reasonably priced menu, good service,lobster ,steak, salmon ,burgers, salads, desserts.

I visited with my wife, son, elderly aunt and my sons friend and everyone enjoyed their night immensely. I have been put on a very limited diet by the doctor and nothing was too much bother for the staff (one member especially).The menu is extensive and the food delicious really worth a visit. We have a place in Lossie and will be back many times.

Waited while to be seatedWaited while for foodVery dark and cramped restaurantAlot of noiseStaff didn't know what specials were that dayAlmost £8 for baked potato. ..expensive restaurant

Went here for family/birthday meal.(7adults 1 toddler).prebooked a table and were seated on arrival.service from staff was excellent.very attentive and pleasant.ordered various types of food from an extensive menu.arrived approx 20mins after ordering.food was cooked perfectly and tasted great.reasonable prices too.would definitely eat here again.highly recommend others to sample what La Caverna has to offer.

I had the chicken fillets.. Came with 'continental salad'= a bit of lettuce on my plate.. Was meant to be a sweet chilli and mayo dip.. I got garlic mayo.. Chicken itself was full of veins.. Very off putting.. The pizza was very tough and hard to cut.. Came away still hungry but never got offered any money off or that.. Paid £24 for food we barely touched..

• The newly refurbished La Caverna offers a special Sunday evening menu providing a choice of two main courses and two puddings for £10 50. • My wife selected the chicken dish and I selected the roast beef main dish. • The portions were ample and both were tasty, in fact my roast beef was the best I have tasted. • The service provided was excellent, courteous, friendly and attentive. • We highly recommend the La Caverna for early evening meals.

Food was good and value for money. Service was friendly and efficient. We ate indoors as weather was a bit changeable. The decor and furnishings are good but the tables are set up pretty close together. 2 of us sat at a table for 4 which was fine and the bistro was moderately busy. If it had been very busy then we could have felt a bit under pressure. There are limited spaces with view out of the windows. Good eating place in a nice seafront location with varied menus.

Just visited here on Saturday and can't fault our meal. Good selection in the menu, with daily specials. Presentation was good and plenty on your plate and also a very reasonable price. 2 x 3 course meal(incl 1 main of steak), 2 alcoholic drinks & a soft drink for just over £60. Staff were very efficient, will definitely be back.

With the family and grandchildren. The meals we all had were the Specials which are great value. The breaded haddock is a better choice than battered. Again the only disappointing is the haphazard service by too many waitresses serving one table. We had to chase our bread with the meals. The other waitress didn't realise we had dessert as part of deal and to top it off no tea or coffee. If they sort out the service The Caverna would be difficult to beat anywhere in NE

Great value for money, visiting for lunch and dinner on different day, dinner menu tapas was very tasty.

We had originally planned to have a bag of chips by the sea but arrived at the chip shop just they were about to close so they refused to serve us. Their loss as we stopped at La Caverna and enjoyed a meal outside in the sun. For September it was still a lovely day and the food and company was excellent.

Good food, nicely presented, over all good for meal out. The staff were very friendly and not over attentive

Visited for lunch, the 35 minute wait understandable at Sunday lunchtime. The food was tasty but expensive for small portions. The one song on repeat for an hour must have driven the staff crazy! It certainly did us.

Went here today after booking a table for 2. Very disappointing.we had cheeseburger onion rings and chunky chips. Burgers came first really greasy and no lettuce and tomatoes as advertised on the menu. Onion rings and French fries came in the middle of us eating the burgerPointed out that we ordered chunky tattie chips,so they took the fries away and we finished our burgers when our chips arrived. Staff was very friendly THE FOOD MEGA LET DOWN

Nice location looking over the sea. Food was ok nothing special. I would go again but would try other places first.
