Just so mediocre. Really can’t understand the high reviews on this place. Would hate to assume it’s indicative of the average Dunfermline customers palate… but then what else? Location and decent interior decor is the only thing keeping this in business, otherwise it’s just an average chain. Service isn’t great either, kept forgetting things and dropping stuff. If you actually care about good food and have taste then avoid this place and go Orocco Pier for a similar vibe but better establishment. If you’re not fussed and have a simple palate then go for it I guess.

Have been many times always happy with experience. Came yesterday for special birthday with family. Service was terrible, waitress did not know what soup of the day was, came to our table with other people food, served soup had to ask for a spoon, one dish came without accompaniments had to ask for them. Both burgers should have had salad, only 1 had, given empty vinegar bottle. We had 2 prawn cocktails and had to hunt the prawns amongst the abundance of lettuce. Steak was just ok, not worth the money. The waitress was clueless except for asking us 4 times if we wanted more drinks even though we all had drinks in our glasses. Very disappointed, wish I had read the tripadvisor reviews as all said going downhill recently and to give a miss. Also annoyed at the service charge being added without consultation, we had non existence good service. Sadly we will not be back.

My boyfriend & I came here for dinner on a Monday evening and it was wonderful. Warm, cosy and relaxed atmosphere. We thought it was relatively busy for a Monday, this was good, it contributed to the ambience. The lady that served us, i'm so sorry, I don't know your name, but you were great and contributed to our experience. We took a little while to decide what we wanted, we weren't rushed at all and were given some great recommendations. We shared a selection of starters rather than going for mains as we weren't that hungry, but the starters are huge and really filled us up! This restaurant is such good value for money, especially as they do a glass of Veuve Clicquot for £12.45! The dishes were really tasty - we went for the garlic prawns, chorizo croquettes and duck bao bun. Our waitress then recommended the Bailey's cheesecake and wow, it was amazing! All round lovely experience and we will definitely be returning should we visit Queensferry again.

Beautiful view and beautiful restaurant. I’ve been already few times and I can say food is nice but worst with service. My last time there was lovely sunny weather so we decided to take a table outside. If you take table outside that means you have to go inside to do order by yourself which was strange but it was fine until I go inside to do order and I saw 5 waiters on the bar talking and having fun so, why they can’t take an order from you in restaurant like this? Making order was a bit hard as well because they saw me when I came to the bar but they pretended they didn’t see me. We were waiting for main course 50 minutes because they forgot about us and I actually had to go inside and remind them that I’m ready for main after starter. At the end on the bill was service charge which of course I deny to pay as service was very poor and actually was no service at all.

Late booking on a Sunday night. Fitted us in. Placed order had starter. Ordered tomahawk but came and let us know they had ran out after starter. Had a chateaubriand which as lovely as it was it wasn't a tomahawk. They added extra sides on for free and offered discount. Lovely atmosphere. Staff were amazing. Very attentive. Food was lovely.

I have visited many times but I believe there is inconsistency in the service and quality We had the bread as a starter which was a total dissapointment as the bread was heavy and tasteless and did not accompany the truffle butter in any way! The Thai curry dish was good but some chicken was on the bone and unexpected with some prawn cracker soft The Restaurant has become very pricey and automatically add on a service charge without asking if the service was up to standard. I think Scott's need to look at all the reviews as the overall standard is very average and make nescessary changes as they will start to loose many loyal customers

Pros: Inaide is lovely decor and warm Service was good, waiter attentive. Good music and nice atmosphere. Nice location. Now to the cons: Main meal was just ok - not enough on the plate and still felt hungry afterwards. It is rather expensive for what it is. Wouldn't be in a rush to go back but it was ok.

We have heard great reports about Scotts and our wedding anniversary seemed as good an opportunity as any to give it a try. Online booking was easy and we were well received and seated with what must be the best view of the three bridges in the restaurant. A very interesting menu made selection difficult because we could have easily had anything on offer. Choices made and service was quick and our Pil Pil starter was just delicious and a generous portion too. Fish Goujons and a chicken ceaser salad soon followed and we were again impressed with the quality and portion sizes. I am constantly surprised at drinks prices in restaurants and £5.65 for a beer that’s £1.65 in every supermarket seems excessive to me and a glass of wine costing almost the same as a bottle falls into the same category these prices are clear on the drinks menu so no complaint just my opinion. Overall our visit was a great experience and we will definitely return, one other point was the music and as a musician I appreciate all genres but the volume and balance must be appropriate and on this occasion it was too loud and bass dominant which could spoil any conversation and seemed to irritate other diners seated directly under a speaker. The bill arrived with a 10% service charge with no option, so again something to be aware of. We came for the food and the venue and both were superb and we can recommend it.

I would like to start by saying I’m a regular visitor here and been around 10 times in the past. We were celebrating an occasion ( which I did notify them of on the booking to which no acknowledgement was made) We were sat down and abandoned waited around 20 minutes then a waitress came to take our food order we had to ask to make a drinks order as no one had come over for that. Anyway we ordered and 2 of the 3 meals come out. 10 mins later the 3rd person still hadn’t received their meal and I had ordered a fillet medium which came out far too rare so I had to send it back. By the time it came back everyone had almost finished their meals. My £40 fillet steak was served with 4 huge salad tomatoes and a handful of dry spinach …..really?! Everyone commented their chips were cold. We sat for ages until the girl took our plates away. We decided to order dessert. We went for the chocolate delice, apple crumble and rhubarb cheesecake. None of us enjoyed them and the prices for these are too high for what you get. We had to ask for the bill. They have the cheek to add a service charge onto the bill something I very much disagree with especially when the service was non existent. We all said how disappointed we were. Scott’s - buck your ideas up! I’m a regular but seriously considering not coming back. It was really abysmal.

Visited for a Sunday lunch recently with family and had an enjoyable meal. This is a lovely restaurant to visit for lunch or during the day, so you can take in all the beautiful views around the Forth Bridges. Food was tasty and very generously portioned. Tempura starter was particularly tasty. Nice drinks selection with some good value mocktails for drivers. Some very minor points - The restaurant was very busy on Sunday so staff were perhaps busier / more stretched than usual (had to wait at the bar for a while before anyone acknowledged my arrival, service waits, toilet paper not refilled in the bathrooms, etc.) Overall experience was still good and I would definitely visit again.

I don’t usually bother to write bad reviews, but the service here is a disgrace. We were pointed to a table. It took ten minutes for someone to take our drinks order, then we waited a further twenty minutes without our drinks being served. We asked a young-ish waiter about our drinks and she assured us they’d be there in one minute. A further ten minutes and they had still not arrived. Meanwhile, large numbers of dirty glasses were piling up on the bar - not a great sight. We decided to leave and I accosted the person who appeared to be in charge (gentleman with man-bun). I explained we were leaving as we had been waiting an unacceptably long time, with no drinks. I also pointed out the dirty glasses piling up on the bar. He offered no apology whatsoever, nor even a hint that he understood there was any kind of problem. I suggested he needed to get a grip. He just looked blank. I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a shambolic system, or complete lack of a system. Someone needs to sort this place out.

We had a deeply disappointing Sunday lunch at Scott’s in South Queensferry. From the moment we arrived, service was appalling. No welcome at the front desk, confusion related to our booking and table, chaos in seating us, we waiting over twenty minutes for orders to be taken (many of which were forgotten and needed to be promoted a second or third time). There was clear chaos around the restaurant with staff wandering around aimlessly and chatting at service stations. There were an abundance of dirty glasses waiting on the bar to be loaded into a dishwasher for almost the entirety of our visit. There is quite clearly a dramatic gap in leadership with young/junior staff lacking direction or attention to detail. The food not only lacked sparkle but was tasteless, oily and stodgy with many ingredients bought in rather than prepared on site. For example the fish tacos came with shop bought guacamole (horrible compared to fresh), pre prepared tartare sauce and tired vegetables. The burger was overcooked and lacking in flavour. Everything was bland and needed seasoning. The dishes here aren’t cheap and the poor quality of the food did not meet our expectations or the value set by the menu. The women’s toilets clearly hadn’t been serviced for quite some time with toilet paper all over the floor and cubicles with empty toilet paper holders. While the view is lovely I wouldn’t recommend Scott’s to anyone and will not return.

Only went for coffee and desert. Largley ignored for most of the time we were there, but staff were nice enough and it was good to see the chemistry and banter between staff members. Wife had a pretty weak pot of tea and the sticky toffee pudding was mostly dry and certainly not sticky. Coffee was good though. As always a great atmosphere.

I don't think you could have made my lunch date with my husband (phew I put the right name 😂) any more perfect than it was. I'm English he's Scottish and he ordered that Cullen soup stuff, I warned him that he wouldn't be kissed for the rest of the day, he ignored me and ordered the Cullen soup. It came and he said I was a whimp 😱 if I didn't try a tiny teaspoon of IT. Anyhow to shut him up as I'm no whimp (I'm from Middlesbrough originally 🥊🥊) I took up the death by soup challenge 🤢, and I it honestly was amazing and I don't think I would go more than 2 teaspoons in my entire life BUT it was beautiful and nothing like the smell left by the same soup in other places that I've created a fuss at when he's ordered it before Scotts. So thank for showing me that even when I'm 60 I can impress my husband and show him that after all these years together he will still never win as I'm a Boro girl at heart ♥️. PS everything was perfect.

Visited for a birthday meal and wasn't the best experience to say the least. Booked a table as we had a large party (12 people). Staff told us not to turn up any earlier as table wouldn't be free. Turned up at the booking time to be told table still wasn't ready. 40 mins later we finally got our table - no apology or update during this time, just left to wait in the bar. Finally sat down and ordered drinks, however another tables drinks order came to us. After being left for another 20 mins or so (an hour after we were supposed to have sat down) we finally had to ask if we could order food to which we got a very unwelcoming response?! Food took quite a while to arrive and staff not very friendly when serving. Fish tacos served to the table as chicken tacos and when asked to double check, staff confirmed was chicken. It was only when the actual chicken tacos came out of the kitchen did another staff member notice the issue and rectify this (good job we hadn't started eating!). Despite all this, we actually ordered desserts and coffees. Ice creams came out half melted (clearly left for ages in the kitchen before serving) and from our table we could see the coffees were made 25 mins before they actually made it to our table (they sat on the bar) - so as you can imagine, these were cold. To top it off, the staff served all the desserts (including to the birthday girl) then came back with a 'special birthday dessert' and served it to someone else on the table with just an 'oops'. Overall we had about 6 different staff members attend to us throughout and ended up being in the restaurant for 3 hours+ for what should have been a simple meal. Food selection and quality average but very expensive given the experience (paying for the location rather than anything else). Overall, wouldn't recommend unless you have a lot of time for a meal and won't be returning in a hurry.

Went to Scotts for lunch having been previously and enjoyed the place. Prices slightly on the higher end and they could do with a lunchtime special. That said, the place was full on a Monday lunchtime, so what do I know! Had the smashed edamame and pea houmous to nibble on, which was OK but fairly bland and not a patch on a good regular houmous (if it ain't broke). Mains were good portions, Partner had mushroom tacos which were tasty and plentiful. I had the chicken caesar salad which was excellent and probably one of the best I've eaten, washed down with a glass of sauvignon. All in all, they do a good job and there's plenty of staff serving so you're never forgotten about. I'd recommend the place, and the views over the forth are stunning.

We found this restaurant by chance while walking and tried several dishes in particular, sirloin and lamb, super tender and with a good garnish, and for dessert we tried Rhubarb & Ginger Cheesecake, also delicious. Although it was very full, they gave us a table and the service was quite fast. Here both the kitchen and the service are super professional, attentive, friendly and well organized. I also saw that they have a daily 2-course menu for 28 pounds, which is very good for what the place is, since you have very good views and the restaurant is very nice and elegant.

A large restaurant and bar with a very refined modern design, right on the marina (parking is reserved for the marina, you must register your car's license plate number upon arrival at the restaurant). Children's menu and excellent welcome for them with a bag of games and gadgets. It is a fairly formal place (we had dinner on a Saturday evening) and very popular, so I recommend booking. Delicious food, recommended the fish platter to share and the desserts. Stunning view. Service was not always impeccable, perhaps because it was very full.

Have tried to go to Scott’s a few times for breakfast but although they have plenty of empty tables we have always been told they are too busy and we’d have to wait until 12pm for the lunch menu.

Can’t quite believe how bad the service was. For a family of 5 it took over three hours. After our first drinks we had to chase someone to take our next drinks order - after 20 mins the drinks hadn’t arrived so had to chase again - to be fair we then got them free due to the wait. We did witness loads of staff standing around the bar chatting while we were waiting. We then had to wait ages for our desserts to arrive (again got them free due to the delay 🤦🏼♀️) and then had to chase twice to get the bill!! There was loads of staff on -just highly disorganised ! Really spoilt a family occasion ….

Heated Scone arrived without butter,jam cutlery,plate or coffees.Scone sat there for 15 minutes until I found waiter to ask for the rest to be served. Only coffees arrived. By the time the the butter and jam arrived the scone was hard and inedible! Excuse was that they were really busy!

Had a lovely meal at Scotts, portions are large and tasty and vegetarian and gluten free needs were well met. Some suggestions for improvement Please Describe the dishes accurately Gambas Pil Pil turned out to be sweet chilli prawns. Pil Pil is a garlic chilli and paprika sauce. I'm not a fan of sweet chilli and wouldn't have orderes it if it had been accurately described. The Catalan stew had sea bass in it with the skin on which was soggy and not nice, very easy to remove skin prior to putting it in to a stew. Two of us has this and both had a lot of broken mussell shells in it probably from the same batch but it wasn't easy to eat with a.cut mouth. On arrival we had to wait about 3-4 minutes at the front with lots of staff walking around but no acknowledgement, eventually a gentleman arrived and showed us to our table. We ordered two bottles of wine which we poured ourselves and had quite a wait between starter and main course. The reason for mentioning this is I Was charged £30 for service only realising it after I had paid the bill. I don't mind paying for something which I order and also don't mind paying for high quality service, but this wasn't anything exceptional, to be honest it was just ok. Perhaps this policy needs to be reviewed to either provide exceptional service with 10 percent or let customers decide the amount of tip they leave. I hope you find the suggestions useful as it would take a very good expertence to a must return Experience.

Scotts: A Feast for the Eyes and the Palate From the moment we arrived, Scotts in South Queensferry was breathtaking. The views alone were worth the trip, and I couldn't resist capturing the stunning scenery before even stepping inside. The restaurant's interior is a masterpiece of design. Every detail, every corner, offers a visual treat, creating a truly unique ambiance. We had initially been seated in a cozy booth, but for my birthday celebration, my partner wanted the full experience. The staff graciously accommodated our request for a table with a view, and we were soon treated to a panoramic vista that took our breath away. The food was simply superb. We shared a delectable platter of starters and indulged in a perfectly cooked 1kg steak. Every bite was an explosion of flavor, leaving us wanting more. From start to finish, the meal was an absolute delight. Even the cocktails, including the non-alcoholic options, were exceptional. While we highly recommend Scotts for any occasion, it's worth requesting a table with a view when booking, especially for a special celebration. It truly elevates the dining experience to new heights.

All meals were delicious, nothing left, clean plates all around all washed down with a couple of drinks. Service was impeccable

Fantastic restaurant, amazing location, excellent food, good size car park nearby, has a balcony and lift as it's one floor up, definitely worth a visit.

It's a lovely place, but I'm afraid we had a very bad experience with the staff. The restaurant is not dog-friendly, which is fine, but we were sitting outside, and nobody was checking on us. Except for one waitress (she was lovely and chatted with us), the gentleman at the till didn't take care of us. It is a shame we weren't impressed by the service as the location of the restaurant is wicked. The vegan burger was very good.

60th Birthday meal with family and friends. Despite a delay in accessing the area at the promised time, everything went very well. Staff were pleasant and attentive and the food was of tge top order.

2023. Great place all round. If you can, try the two course option - great mussels! 07/08/2024. If this had been my first visit, I would never go back. Had a late lunch and ordered cappuccino and the chicken taco. The taco was so hot I couldn't eat it. I asked for the jalapeno sauce to be on the side and was told it was only flavoured. Thankfully, it was on the side as it was extremely hot. My coffee was only luke warm. Never asked if the meal was ok. Wouldn't recommend and won't be back.

We paid 60 pounds for 2 coke 0, 1 fish stew and 1 sea bass fillet with pesto gnocchi. Overall the food could have been seasoned better. It feels like the price is too high compared to our meal's quality/quantity. Also we weren't offered the high chair for the under 1 year old.

Very ordinary, bit like a canteen. Tasteless food... The interior is full of decor but it's all a bit naff. I feel sorry for anyone who goes there for a special occasion... It's probably ok for hungry people getting off a yacht... But it's better to go somewhere else. Won't be going back.

OK food, but horrible service. We came with elderly couple to celebrate special occasion and it was the most unwelcoming service. The lady from.our company was blind and despite of disability we were asked to wait in the crowded way close to the bar until table is ready (and we came prompt at 6.30 pm) .the waitress was not bothered to be polite or grant us welcoming smile, we were waiting very long to be served (even for simple drinks).I felt very sorry that I booked the restaurant for a special occasion as we didn't feel welcomed there, I wanted to exclude the service fee, but elderly couple was kind not to exclude it. Still regret that I didn't ask the name of the girl who was serving us but probably the restaurant can figure ir out themselves.

Dead slow service, 10 mins to get someone at the table another 15 minutes wait for drinks. Management should have a look into this, ridiculously slow service provided in a well established place.

Very mixed picture. It took over 1 hour to get main courses on the table - this really isn't good enough when you have children at the table. They also over cooked the kids burgers horribly. The adult main courses were excellent, and the general atmosphere was very nice.

Had a lovely breakfast. The venue is very chic with plenty of room between tables. Food was really nice and well cooked. Excellent value too. Plenty of parking outside. The parking is free if you register your vehicle with the restaurant when you go in. Location is just off the bridge if you're coming into Edinburgh from the North so an easy detour.

I always have a great time at Scotts. The food is great but the setting is even better. Lots of space so I can bring my pram in without too much trouble. The staff are really friendly too.

Visited Scott’s for my daughter’s 18th birthday. Lovely vibe in the restaurant and was so busy, even for a Monday evening. Food was fantastic and staff were very attentive. Have 2 peanut allergies in the family and they were aware of it even before we sat down and checked in with us throughout the meal. They gave us a table which looked right out over the bridges which made the evening even better. Will definitely be back.

Visited this place several times and it is always very welcoming with good service. The menu is extensive and the food delicious. Good prices too. And of course a wonderful view from many of the tables.

Jus got charged £5 for a portion of chips here. Very disappointed that they treat a loyal customer like this. £5 for supermarket chips is not good.

I used to frequent Cafe Truva at the shore a number of years ago and was looking forward to visiting their Lady Lawson street branch on a visit to town. What a disappointment! The ‘panini spice’ that I used to love was a delicious mix of spiced chicken, mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes served with a lovely Turkish-salad meze. Unfortunately there must be profit margins to protect here and the quality of product has been compromised beyond all recognition...bland strips of processed chicken, one piece of sun dried tomato all cooked without seemingly much care. The side salad used to be a real treat served with feta cheese, stuffed vine leaves, tzatziki and cous cous, instead you are now served some chopped lettuce, tomato and cucumber with no dressing.....distressing stuff. I hope they are reading and take these comments into consideration, will not return in a hurry which is a crying shame.

We enjoy eating at Shackleton’s. If you are staying at Channings it is a very easy place to grab a bite to eat. Everyone is nice and we enjoy the food.
