Wonderful setting, Anna collected us and returned us to the train station. It’s small and intimate and the food is just delicious. We had the hamper starter which allowed us to have samples of all the starters. So fresh and well presented. We had the monkfish and the half lobster. By far, the best monkfish main I have ever had. The lobster was served with mac n cheese and truffle fries. Delightful! They also made the best spicy margarita I have ever had. I cannot recommend this gem enough !!

Enjoyed a birthday celebration with my family. Food excellent. Lovely staff, very helpful. Owner, as a courtesy picked us up at the local train station and dropped us back their at the end of the evening as the road to the restaurant is very steep & narrow. Would definitely recommend

Having visited the restaurant several times a year for around 10 years and never been disappointed, today the kitchen absolutely excelled itself. It was the introduction of the festive menu and it was luxurious, beautifully presented and delicious. The hamper of starters is deceptive in how filling it is but what a treat to have a wee taste of everything. Salmon en croute with hollandaise and fondant potatoes really made me feel christmas has started. I'm actually tempted to go again while this menu is available...well done team

Birthday dinner here with nearest and dearest. The nights are darker at this time of year so we didn't get to enjoy the view as much as last time but this dining room has such a gorgeous location. We all enjoyed a three course meal and every single bite was perfection. Service was good and the ambience is relaxed. For sure we'll come back here again for future special occasions. Such a lovely treat.

A wee bit tricky to find, Sat bag took us up a dirt track & we parked & tried to walk down a steep hill to the restaurant to be met by the owner in a 4x4 picking up patrons at silver sands car park, now I ignored the option on the web site when booking, but would recommend parking there and asking for a lift, makes life easier and the owner is happy to do it! Regards to the food, absolutely delicious, we had fish cakes, then salmon & prawn rigatoni, and struggled to eat any more, but managed the blackberry I’ve cream sandwich, Wow, I love ice cream and this was one of the best I’d ever had, followed by really tasty coffee & shortbread! A quick care ride back to the car was appreciated. Highly recommended

The food was sensational. We ordered the hamper which was essentially a taster of all the starters. Just WOW!! Without doubt the best starters I have ever tasted. Every single mouthful was fabulous. The mains I ordered the prawn and chorizo rigatoni and my wife ordered hake in a bed of risotto. Just superb. Dessert again hit the heights. This is a hidden gem even though it was quite expensive, I think it was worth the price.

As a seafood lover I have visited many of the top seafood restaurants in Edinburgh and can't believe I have missed this gem on my doorstep. This restaurant beats all the places I have visited in the city and at a fraction of the price. The setting is idyllic and the quality of food is outstanding. If you appreciate seafood this place must be visited.

Excellent location with great views. Staff are attentive and helpful. The food was fantastic and well presented - recommend the hamper as a great starter. We ate outdoors. Overall the place looks s bit tired and some of the outdoor tables and the areas around them need a wee tidy up. The drive down is pretty tight - take them up on their offer of a lift.

First visit following numerous recommendations. Food and experience exceeded hopes. Food is first class - without the Michelin pretentiousness. Dining room is a former sitting room, so contained, and pine tables indicate the informality of the dining experience. Hannah - the proprietress - and her staff were all efficient and friendly. A dining experience to be recommended.

What a special place this is. A scenic short walk from the town leads you to this lovely hotel where we received a friendly welcome. The weather was fine so we had pre dinner drinks in the garden looking out over the estuary and harbour. All the staff were very professional and helpful. The quality of ingredients and how they were prepared and presented was excellent, including little extras that make it extra special. We were given a table at a window with a view, the atmosphere and decor in the restaurant were perfect. I’d definitely recommend to friends and would come back if in the area. The whole experience is exceptional value for money.

If you want to dine fresh sea food around Edinburgh this is the place. Make sure you do reserve a table as indoors there are only a few tables plus some outdoors. The food was very nice and the service impeccable. To reach there by car you need to drive a bit steep road. It’s doable if you are careful. If you dont want to risk use the large parking nearby and walk down for a few minutes. The the pasta or the sea bass. And look on the window…

We enjoyed a lovely evening at Room With A View last night. The food, wine and service were all exemplary. We were welcomed with some fresh bread and butter and an amuse-bouche compliments of the chef. We then had the starter hamper to share which had a lovely range of tasters deliciously prepared. The portions were perfect and beautifully presented. Our main courses of lobster and sea bass were top notch. The lobster came with a delicious side salad and lovely chips whilst the sea bass came with seasonal vegetables and was perfectly cooked. We were given a delicious passion fruit sorbet to prepare us for our desert and we finished our meal with the torched rhubarb desert which was served with honeycomb icecream and yogurt. A great end to the meal. We can’t wait to come back again. The quality of the locally sourced food as well as all the little touches and of course the view, make this a very pleasant dining experience. One I would highly recommend.

Food was good once we sorted out a table. Booked a pod . Arrived, no pod available. Didn’t take pod bookings after all??? Benches didn’t have fully enclosed cover to shelter from wind No car parking at restaurant. Misinformed re car park attendant letting us use car park instead sent down steep hill where there was no customer parking. Good to be honest from outset and would happily pay £2 for parking (if aware of no actual parking at restaurant) and not expect a pod after booking one. Won’t rush back. Beach cafe a much easier option . Did explain all above to staff.

Had lunch here on Saturday for the first time and it did not disappoint. Beautiful food, perfectly cooked, in a lovely setting. I lived in Aberdour in my high school years and was taking my own 'late teens and early 20's' sons to show them around, and thought, as my husband and I had walked the cliff walks many years ago, that this would be a great stop off. Can't recommend highly enough. Only think I would say is that the service was a little slow, but they were busy, and then later that day, I realised I'd had an email regarding 'pre-booking' to help reduce waste/be more sustainable etc, and unfortunately, I'd not seen it. So as well as helping on those fronts, had we pre-ordered, it might have made a difference to the service too. I'll know the next time - and there will definitely be a next time.

I contemplated writing a review because this is the kind of special hidden gem you want to keep secret so the masses don't destroy it. I have lived in Fife for 9 years and my friend who joined me has lived his entire life in Scotland. Both of us never heard of this place. I decided to leave a review anyway because I believe the owners to be very humble and want to keep this place special. With 24 seating they could easily monopolise and add more especially outdoors but that would spoil the experience. They also could advertise on all the typical tourist places but they haven't. Living in St Andrews where all the restaurants crumble to tourism I found this to be very refreshing. It says a lot about the owners and that they want to protect such a special place. Hannah was very kind and accommodating to my requests. We had lunch here but what I really mean is we had a food 'experience'. The chef has such amazing talent. Everything we had was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. You can taste the freshness of being locally sourced. We sample tried every starter that was on the menu. We had Surf and Turf for main. Chocolate Delice and Apple & Caramel Mille Feuille.Also to note-the staff were attentive and friendly.I can't wait to go back. We spent just over £150 for the two of us but that is because we ordered so much. The prices are extremely reasonable we could have just had fish and chips for £14. The price does not matter at a place like this because the experience is priceless. My friend described it best- "This place is like my Birthday and Christmas all in one".

We were recommended "A Room with a View" in Aberdour by our lovely hosts at Cardinal's Folly. Lots of lovely seafood to choose from and I struggled to make a choice. We were required to make our food choices the day before. Eventually I decided on scallops to start, followed by seared tuna and a blackberry parfait to finish. My vegetarian husband started with goat's cheese and beetroot, followed by mushroom linguine and the cheese platter to follow. My brother selected the steak ciabata with chips and the caramel mille-feuille with apple sorbet. If choosing the seared tuna I would suggest stating just how cooked you would like your tuna to avoid it being over-seared. I prefer mine just a minute or two either side and nice and pink in the middle. This turned out to be a learning experience for both of us. We were given the option to eat indoors or outside in one of the pods and opted for outside where we enjoyed stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and Arthur's Seat. Staff were friendly and helpful and even checked what the cheeses were on the cheeseboard when asked to identify them. All in all a lovely experience and we would be happy to return next time we are in this part of the world.

We visit each year for our wedding anniversary and we have never been disappointed with the food or service until our visit yesterday. The restaurant was very busy with a few bigger groups and we were just forgotten about. Nobody came to check if we needed any more drinks or if the food was ok. Although they kept coming to check on the other tables. Had to keep trying to get the waiting staffs attention to order more drinks and the last drink my husband ordered never arrived, Which they did apologise for but it just felt like they were too busy and service was a bit chaotic. The food is normally amazing but yesterday I was just ok. The little bread rolls are always so delicious and warm. The lobster bisque was very delicious and was the highlight of the hamper starter. The lobster main was very disappointing, very little lobster meat, a few pieces of lettuce on the plate with some chips. Overall we just were not impressed with our visit yesterday which is such a shame because it’s normally 1st class.

I had the earl grey pannacotta for dessert and my friend had the cheese board and that was amazing. We sat in the clear view tent pods looking out over the Forth. sheer bliss. At the beginning of the night, we parked in the car park and walked down to the restaurant but at the end of the night, the owner drove us back up to the car. park

A really unusual place but well worth it. Out of the way but the owners will pick up from Aberdour station and others. We parked at the top of a very steep slope down to the restaurant which is beside the Firth of Forth.However having walked down it is drivable. You need to book and order online. There are pods in the garden to sit in although the weather was so good we could sit at the picnic benches. The crevettes were out of this world. You need to like seafood but if you do go.

Really nice setting. Food was excellent as was service. Take advantage of the pick up service though its challenging to drive or walk to.

From start to finish ‘a room with a view’ was incredible. From arrival in Aberdour we were greeted with a Chauffeur service to the restaurant. On arrival we were greeted with spectacular views and an extensive locally sourced menu. Every dish was cooked to perfection and presented really well. We thoroughly enjoyed our entire 3 course meal. Service was efficient and friendly adding to the experience. We would highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to come back. Thank you!

It always pains me to put on 5 stars for great venues. What if more people find this and I can't go next time? Food was excellent and the views are fantastic. Thank you to the staff for making it a lovely afternoon

We came here for the second time after three years. The food served in this restaurant is simply excellent in a very unique environment with wonderful views. The chef uses very fresh ingredients and he respects the main product. I had the best sole I have ever tasted in my life, impossible to beat! My wife had the rissotto with smoked haddock and she was amazed with the dish. Our son had the fish and chips and he really loved it and finished it all!By far one of the best restaurants we have been in the UK since we arrived ten years ago.

We had been wanting to visit Room With a View for such a long time after a friend of my husband recommended it. We live in Northamptonshire but have family in Fife and a friend recommended this restaurant. However, the last time we visited Fife, it was for a funeral and it was in lockdown. We decided to travel to Fife for a holiday and were determined to eat at here. We were not disappointed! Hannah, the owner, picked us up at Aberdour station and we had a lovely table with a view over Aberdour beach. To begin with, we had a complimentary bruschetta with tuna tartare in a tasty dressing. Then, we had the hamper of starters, which was so nice. I have never tried shellfish expect for prawns, so was really delighted with the selection. I had the hake for a main course and my husband had Surf and Turf. Both meals were beautifully cooked. We were then given a small raspberry jelly as a palate cleanser, which was lovely and light. I had the chocolate delice with home made peanut butter ice-cream. This was so good and not too heavy. My husband had the passion fruit cheese cake with orange sorbet which he enjoyed. The service was very good and we were very impressed with everything. Hannah took us back to the station, so what more could you want?

Once we found the restaurant we were pleasantly surprised that it did, indeed, have a very nice view over the Firth oif Forth. Selecting our menu choices the day before was a little odd but it did work.The building could do with some smartening up but that did not detract from the experience...

Fantastic food as always. Staff very friendly and atmosphere lovely. Nice gesture that the mum's got a posy of daffodils as the bill being paid. :)

Birthday treat from Suzanne The tasting menu with the wine pairing package made the evening one that will never be forgotten Each course of locally sourced ingredients was brought to the table and fully explained, the team happy to discuss every part of the food story The wine pairing was an eye opener for me as a non wine drinker, a real education The atmosphere in the restaurant was perfect for a special night Highly recommended
