We visited Lucas on Sun 25 Aug and 30 Aug frequently attend here on both occasions I had to return my main course as they were both barely warm 1 was pizza the other mushroom pasta the waitress was apologetic and said this would get heated up in the microwave. Another couple who were sitting at the next table had to wait an eternity for their meals we had our main course & our dessert before the couples meal arrived as they had already asked waitress where it was and was told kitchen was busy the couple had been more than patient. I am unsure if the chef has been changed the food seems to be not to the usual standard. Not once has the waitresses when having your meal if everything is ok! This should come as standard.. very disappointed. Therefore after another disappointing visit today it will be sone considerable tine or not at all when we will be back.

I had a meal in the cafe at the rear of the building in Musselburgh for the first time last night, after having been a consumer of Luca's ice cream since a child in the 1970s. It was as good an experience as I could have hoped for. The food was excellent. I had a mini plate of bolognese sauce with parmesan cheese in on penne pasta and a dessert of apple pie with Luca's vanilla ice cream. The meal was faultless and very reasonably priced. The service was first class. It was just the right balance of being attentive but not in your face. The food was served in a timely fashion so that I knew that things were cooked properly. The atmosphere was fine. No loud music, in fact I'm not sure there was music or not - it didn't seem to matter. The only thing is my young pal who was there with me noticed that the ceiling was a bit dark. He is a painter and decorator, so had more of an eye for such things that I did. It is very convenient to have a cafe that is open until 9pm during weekdays in Musselburgh. I can't recommend this highly enough.

I ordered hot pancakes with ice cream and received cold pancakes. Our waitress was not very sociable or friendly and the staff were carrying on and joking loudly at the till. I was unsure if it was to arrive hot , so I rechecked the menu at home on the website .Went up to pay at till as no one approached us . Or asked if we enjoyed our desserts . This was after 8 pm .

This place is a must. A large selection of ice creams. I went with a group and we all had multiple scoops. I had toffee, chocolate and raspberry ripple in a waffle cone. I was absolutely stuffed after eating it. They have a wide range of flavours, very reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly and provide a good service. I strongly recommend going here.

We came upon this gem of a find quite by accident! My husband and I had a beautiful meal - I had the lasagne with garlic bread and fries, while he had the pasta Bolognese. Both were absolutely delicious. However the real piece de resistance came with the scrumptious desserts - build your own ice-cream. No-one does ice cream quite like the Italians and coming from Newry and Mourne in NI where quite a few Italian families made their mark with ice-cream, we are spoiled for choice. And Luca's did not disappoint. The extensive menu of desserts means there's something to tempt every palette and then you finish off a wonderful evening with luxury hot chocolate complete with fresh cream and marshmallows. It was an absolutely wonderful evening. Great staff and on my way out purchased one of their beautiful S.Luca bags. S.Luca in Messelburgh is well worth a visit and we hope it won't be too long before we're back!

My kids favourite restaurant (or cafe). They love the food there - always the same and especially the ice cream. Can be a bit crowded as no booking system but that is a good sign I guess. It's popular for a reason.

Although very busy, there was a space for one! The staff were all friendly and there were clearly regulars in. The staff were moving briskly about the café and orders were arriving promptly. I had a late breakfast (it was about 2pm) of perfectly poached eggs on white bread toast. Delicious. Every coffee type has a diagram and explanation - learnt a couple of things and ordered decaf breakfast tea. There was no pressure on customers to eat up and be gone. Toilets were spotless. Downside? Yes, if you were queuing for ice cream - a long long queue but given how good their ice cream is, no surprise.

What a popular and busy place! we went on a Saturday and had to queue but it was definitely worth it - the staff were lovely, apologising for the wait, and we got a seat upstairs where a friendly and polite young man served us. We had breakfast rolls with haggis and bacon followed by a range of ice cream treats. I tried the home made snowball, with ice-cream - it was fabulous. Worth a visit, reasonably priced, nice service and fresh and tasty food. Oh and awesome ice cream!

I did contemplate whether to post this or not, was in musselburgh today with my son & we just happened to get a parking space opposite so we decided we would pop in for lunch after doing what we were in musselburgh to do, food no complaints at all, service slow as normal but you know its never the most organised of place & you are gonna wait an age for your order, however what really really really stopped me from leaving a tip (I always like to leave tips wherever I go) as we were waiting to be seated a member of staff (yes I am gonna describe her to a T) older lady, blonde curly tied up hair, worked there for years, not the most polite of people at the best of times, was waiting to take drinks to tables when she picked up the staff tip jar,shook it, then said to the ladies making the drinks, 'oh well we will nae be getting a night oot anytime soon wi what's in there' then said table 7or9 are desperate for their drinks can you hurry up with them! I looked at the lady behind me (in the queue) we couldn't couldn't actually believe what she said/done, then next thing she's bustling away to do something else when the girl making the drinks (she requested) tried to get her attention to let her know they ready! Honestly 5mins waiting to be seated & I could write a book, maybe a wee staff training & refresher day on customer service might help (only a suggestion) P.S really like the new downstairs from the revamp, pity we were stuck upstairs so didn't have time to admire it.

I would just like to pass on my thanks to the staff at Lucas in Musselburgh. I visited Lucas in Musselburgh with my parents and two young nephews (3 and 9). We were out and about for the day and decided to go to Lucas for lunch. The queue for the café was right back to the door but we decided to wait as we knew the food is excellent. The staff were constantly checking the queue and trying to get people seated as quickly as possible. We didn’t have to wait long. We were given menus, orders were taken and the kids were given crayons and colouring sheets/menus and were quite happy to wait. While we waited for our food we noticed how hard working the staff were. Tables and chairs were wiped down, customers were given a happy and cheery welcome and staff always had a smile on their face. My mum actually asked one member of staff how she could remain so happy when they were totally rushed off their feet. Her reply was that she just was! We got our paninis, pancakes, chips and ice-creams which were delicious. Great size portion and delicious. A huge thank you to the very hardworking, friendly and efficient staff at Lucas Musselburgh.

Poor service has been the same about the 4 times we have been over the last 6 months so not a one off.

Good service and amazing ice-cream, lots of flavours to choose from. Very popular so can have a wait at busy times but definitely worth it. Homemade snowballs and rocky road are highly recommended.

Popped in for a quick coffee and I had a hot chocolate the waitress asked if I wanted a Cadbury or a Italian hot chocolate as I have been to Venice a few times and loved the hot chocolate there I decided to have that plus a scone my wife was unfortunately not able to have a treat as none off your cakes are lactose free the waitress was very helpful and checked for us the 2 stars I have taken off are for the hot chocolate that was a let down and because my wife was unable to have a cake off any sort but everything else was great would definitely try here again for a meal as all the meals I saw leaveing the kitchen looked really nice

I usually collect my middle granddaughter from nursery and on this occasion she asked if she could have her tea at Lucas. She chose chicken nuggets, followed by ice-cream with a soft drink. I chose the chilli beef nachos and my usual decaf tea. My granddaughter is only 3 so I felt there were too many chips for a child her age. However, she ate all of the chicken and had her ice-cream. I thoroughly enjoyed my food, which was spicy but not perhaps quite as hot as I would like. I would definitely visit again - there is an extensive menu from which to choose. My only comment would be perhaps to offer larger and smaller child size portions to minimise waste!

Haven’t been to Luca’s for years, so glad to see it’s still there. Decided to sit-in. Ice-cream was delicious as were the home made snowballs. So many flavours, difficult to choose.

I see to visit here all the time and get the most amazing ice cream and great service. It’s far more commercialised now. The students employed at the weekend need to be given a lesson on customer service and his to smile and take care a bit. We ate upstairs and the basically had the menu thrown at us. The service was quick.

The flavour of the ice cream is so so amazing. Amazing food. You can buy good chocolates. I highly recommend the chocolate frog. The prices are incredibly cheap.

We went today for lunch after not being there for four years. The food is ok, service very rushed and our ice cream was melted. Disappointed in the place.

Great food and coffee. The waiter seemed a little hesitant but was very pleasant. This place still sells the best ice cream ever. I’ve tried ice cream all over the world and I always use Luca’s ice cream as the bench mark and no one else comes close.

Called in for ice cream cones on a rainy Sunday afternoon but was tempted in to try the hot snacky foods AND the ice cream. The club sandwich as a bit cold and a bit dry so not the best I've had, ditto the sharing platter, so adequate overall, but the atmosphere was jolly and the ice cream good so next time we're in Musselburgh we will go for those cones again.

The Crown and Kitchen in East Linton had good trip advisor reviews, so we decided to stay for 1 night on our journey to eastern Scotland. Although there is no car park, there was plenty of on street unlimited parking near to the Inn. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, and we were shown to our beautiful contemporary room by a very helpful member of staff. Rooms are next door to the bar area, and so quiet. There was a wide choice of dishes for dinner, including fish and vegetarian options. Breakfast was very good. There were fresh berries and yoghurt and a range of cereals, as well as cooked options. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, and the whole place was well cared for, light and welcoming. We will stay again when we are in the area, and can recommend it without hesitation.

Passed this Cafe several times and always wanted to give it a try, definitely be the first and last, was a bit surprised to see no prices on display but ordered 2 breakfast rolls 2 coffees and scones anyway, the price at the time I thought was rather steep but just let it go, but just been on my online banking and noticed had been charged even more than was told , just does not justify at all what was bought and the quality did not justify the price either have tasted better, very disappointing
