Signals Bistro in East Lothian

We popped in for lunch; no stay. It was excellent and satisfied my wife's gluten-free needs.

Lovely lunch and friendly service. Would recommend.

We have not stayed in the hotel but have regularly eaten in their bistro. We usually go to North Berwick twice a year and always include this place on our list to go to for dinner at least once. They have undertaken a refurbishment of the restaurant area about 2-3 years ago and it looks great. Really nice atmosphere and decor. Staff are always very attentive and our latest visit was no different. We had the pate starter, chicken Diane, steak pie and kids fish & chips and mac and cheese - all of which were very nice. They do Cullen skink which I wish I had ordered after spotting a lady at the next table with it. It looked like a hearty main and will definitely be on my list to try next time. They had some cocktails on the menu too which was a nice to see. I opted for the After Eight cocktail instead of a dessert which was pretty punchy but tasty! Good meal all round and would recommend.

Would not recommend. Myself and family came this afternoon for Sunday roast as advertised. Booked yesterday and advised Sunday roast would be available. Table wasn't ready when we arrived. Waited 10 minutes to be seated. Given menus, at this time waiter should have advised what wasn't available on the menu. This did not happen. Food bland, nothing special. Staff very slow, talking to each other or not to be seen. No one came up to ask how our meal was either and had to wait ages to get a staff members attention to get the bill. Would AVOID!!!

Great wee bistro but you may need to book. Inside was full when I visited Saturday lunchtime but there were tables outside. There is additional capacity in a beer garden round the back but it was still closed for the winter Great "dirty chips"

Staff lovely, food so good we're going back for breakfast 👍

We didn't stay in the hotel but if its anywhere as nice as the food and service of restaurant I'd recommend it to . Thee best homemade soup and amazing toasties... Thank You No 12 ... perfect after sending our wee dog over the rainbow bridge .

The bistro was delicious. We got the steak sandwiches. Good prices, great environment and friendly service.

We had a splendid lunch at No12 today. Exceptional fish and chips, great sticky toffee pudding, and a warm fire.

I can talk about the Bistro: what gorgeous steak and fries with onion and tomatoes. Friendly staff, pet friendly restaurant. Well located, downtown, close by all amenities, a few steps from the beach.

Lovely little hotel and restaurant, food is really good and fairly priced.

Served quickly - and food ok, nothing outstanding. The big let down was the totally indifferent staff. Lack of any real engagement, felt a bit like a race to get you in, get you out! Other places in N. Berwick do the whole experience better.

Warm welcome and great quality food. We have adored.

Came here for breakfast. It was awful. Could not even cut the veggie sausage. It was like a very, very poor Travelodge breakfast. Also ordered toast as an 'extra' which came after we had finished (what we could eat) because apparently other people had to get their's first, which is ironic as the only other people inside nearly left due to the time it was taking to get anything. The person serving also seemed totally confused the whole time. This is my first ever Google review but want to either save you money by not going there or at least lower your expectations significantly.

Can't comment on the rooms as I haven't stayed there. I have eaten in the restaurant though. Staff are friendly and attentive. Good is great and really well priced. A little gem of a place. If in North Berwick I would highly recommend No.12.

Nice steak and chips here. Nice area in the garden to sit and enjoy your meal/drink

Went for breakfast, we had lovely rolls and fresh coffee with friendly service with a smile. Great place. They have a good range of breakfasts on offer from filled rolls to full breakfasts, with lots of nice offerings like salmon, scrambled eggs etc. It was a lovely sunny day so we sat outside in the garden at the back, which is a lovely sheltered and peaceful spot with the sun coming in. Our server was lovely and took our order with a smile. Would recommend..

Had a great lunch here. Food lovely.

We went there on three separate occasions where we enjoyed something from the breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. We sat out the back (we had our dog). Very polite friendly staff, delicious food, and a relaxed and informal atmosphere with a great service.

Had lunch here - great service, tasty food, good kids and adult menus with plenty of choice.

We stopped off here for a meal. The staff were so lovely and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious. It is a gorgeous bar and grill area. Will definitely be stopping by again

Fantastic food but my goodness do not come here if you want a normal lunch. The servers don’t actually serve you, it is very difficult to have less than an hour meal and multiple drinks.

Friendly service. Good food although morning rolls a bit expensive. Good location.

Really disappointing food. Overcooked burger and deep fried Tex Mex burger. I wasnt sure I got the lamb burger as I couldnt taste lamb, mint or harissa sauce. Rolls crumbled as if frozen. Waitress got our drinks order wrong then argued it was our fault. Everyone said before that this was a great place. Maybe an off day.

Service here was almost nonexistent, and there was only one other table besides us. The workers stayed at the bar chatting instead of actually working. The beer tasted like vinegar, and that's with 3 people having it so something was definitely off.

We didn't stay in the hotel but popped into the restaurant for breakfast. It was delicious! Would recommend 👌

Good food. Dog friendly and squeezed us in when we hadn't made a reservation

Brilliant place to visit, great Beer Garden

4 night stay in early May. Booked 3 single rooms for golf tour. Rooms very clean, very very warm, had windows open all the time, decent shower and bathroom, daily clean & restock with beverages and biccies. Breakfast are superb, everything from full scottish, salmon, porridge, nice big portions, vegan and veggie catered for. Evening meals well worth it in the restaurant, great value. The team are lovely & friendly, nice people working very hard. Location is brilliant for exploring North Berwick and the harbour on foot, there's a car park out the back. Within 20 minutes drive its in easy reach of many tremendous golf courses including at least 2 in North Berwick itself. No bar as such but you can get drinks in the restaurant, though just headed out to the The Ship inn a few steps down the road nearby. Love this place.

Fabulous restaurant! Well worth a visit. We didn't stay here, but the food was fantastic and the wine was lovely. Service was great! We will be back!

Lovely little hotel right in the centre of town. I had a lovely spacious room, everything was very clean & comfortable and I really enjoyed the food on offer in the bar downstairs. Didn't have time to enjoy the outdoor seating at the back but thought it looked fab. Really nice, friendly staff - could'n't fault it and would happily stay again.

Nice decor, lovely waitress but poor breakfast. Cremated toast and hard poached eggs! Who can't poach an egg?! Not the chef here obviously

We went to the garden part of the Bistro for lunch, we just wanted soup and panini which we asked all be served at the same time, that was two soups and one panini. The soup came within an acceptable time but we waited and waited for the panini and eventually decided to cancel it as it was taking way too long after the soup. Nice food but badly let down by a) slow kitchen and b) inexperience staff who don’t seem well trained nor to care too much … disappointing. It’s such a shame businesses let themselves down like this, easily remedied though with a bit of focus on kitchen service and follow through timings to the table.

We arranged a family get together in advance and the communication and arrangements were all made effortlessly and clearly. Half of our group were held up in traffic and so we were late for our original booking…the hotel happily forgave us and we were able to push things back to accommodate the late arrivals! The service was friendly, efficient and seamless. The food itself was fresh, beautifully prepared and the portions were generous! I couldn’t fault any of it and would definitely recommend no12!

Great tasting food and they place had a generally good feel to it, but the tables are a bit too close to one another. That's not enough to stop me going back again, though.

Excellent meal. Could do with better selection of alcohol free beer.

Absolutley delicious food, friendly staff and cosy setting

We booked although didn't need to for early Tuesday lunch. Quite busy. Food and staff were pleasant - had wild mushroom risotto. Clean. May go back.

Popped in for lunch and were lucky to get a table given how quickly the Bistro filled up. All manner of deliciousness is available, we opted for panini - Tuna Mayo, Brie bacon and cranberry, both superb. Next time I’m in north Berwick, a beautiful town by the way, I shall be a returning customer.

Very nice and big rooms. Very good location, walking distance to all the cafes and the high street and the beach.

Popped in for breakfast, really tasty full breakfast. Nice wee place inside. Lovely staff. Good coffee.

Brilliant food. The breakfast is amazing. Couldn't fault the service and even though it's a small room, the atmosphere is great. Really friendly place. Would definitely recommend.

My partner and me went for a meal this evening and i had the homemade steak pie, it was delicious and meat perfect, and my partner had the curry, he said it was lovely, then for deserts had the panacotta, well just delicious. The service was excellent and very attentive, thankyou.

Lovely restaurant, great food and the young lads who were waiters were very polite and helpful

First impressions are very good, we arrived for our 2 night stay at no12 hotel and bistro, nice check in with a friendly welcome, up to our room (no 4) and very impressed, lovely large comfortable bed, large room with lots of space and nice decor to the room and fantastic bathroom, totally impressed, you get a real nice vibe at this hotel, totally recommend

A smaller menu that some places but the food has been excellent on the multiple times we have visited.

Lovely lunch and excellent staff

Very nice place great staff and food

Great location and free parking at the back. Ideal to walk around the town. Good food, but no bar area. Outside area at the back. Room was spotless, would definitely stay there again.

Came Fri lunch time after 1, one table with people all rest available. I approached waitress and asked for table for 2, she said sit anywhere. We sat down, girl came over asked what we wanted to drink, asked for 2 half pints lager shandy, she asked what food, but we hadn’t even looked at menu or got our coats off so we said we need to look first. She came back with drinks, wasn’t a shandy as too strong, not enough lemonade in either. Was going to tell her but changed my mind. We sat a while and she never came over to take our food order, place was empty so I couldn’t understand why. I kept looking over to bar and eventually one of the 3 girls came over. We ordered and waited till it came. After eating our plates lay for a while. I ended up with other lager as daughter didn’t enjoy it . Usually staff do come over and ask if alls ok and do u want another drink, absolutely nothing from any of them. I ended up going up to bar and asking for bill, all 3 of them standing doing nothing. We left and noone even said goodbye. I left no tip which isn’t like me but not one of them deserved it. Customer service training is needed. I will not return or recommend anyone going !

Very delicious food. Friendly staff. Nice gardens.

Great little Jem, with a very good menu to choose from. Staff very accomodating and welcoming.

One star is for the service. Waitress was nice and professional. No stars for the food. Partner send the breaded haddock back twice because it was pre-fried and burned after refrying. Finally left without diner. Bad day in the kitchen? Not enough staff there? No clue but do not recommend

The place looked amazing and friendly. We were seated in a lovely sunny corner. Placed a food and drinks order which was fine. Food was too basic and bland and my main never arrived ? No one came near us once food got put down so we tried to grab someone to ask when the rest of our food would arrive ? So once they came to clear our plates and ask if we wanted the bill! (Not dessert or a other drink) I mentioned my food never showing up. She said of right do you want it now???! Not the best

Excellent food, really impressed.

Second visit in two days, well worth it. Mussels outstanding value, Rib-Eye succulent, Lamb Jalfreze very authentic. Staff:. Ollie & Hassan very attentive to our visit. 100%.

Very nice hotel and bistro. Shame there was no lift as my daughter had too carry her daughter's pram up and down the stairs. Bit loud at night with doors shutting but it is a very lovely hotel and would be back in the future.

Food was excellent. Great service. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food and amazing staff. Every one of our group loved it

We had lunch today, I had Fish and Chips, salad and homemade Tartre sauce. Fish was ok, cheap, frozen style chips, salad was warm and not fresh, Tartre sauce was warm, must have been sitting out for ages.£14+ Another member of our group had Sea bass, fish was oily and had bitter taste from oil and skin soggy. Service was very good. Very disappointed by the food 😕 won't be back.

I just stopped in for a quick snack and a cup of tea. Staff were really friendly

Hice small restaurant, good menu and service. Located in central North Berwick

Food was fantastic good portions staff very helpful first pic of my Cullen skink soup enjoyed it so much forgot to take pic hence the empty bowl lol wife had tomato and basil soup yummy the other two pics are a hotdog and a ploughman's lunch could have done with more ham but the cheese made up for it cheeeeessse doh lol

Awesome beer garden you'd never know was there! Great eggs roast and avo. Will be back!

Delicious steak and pepper sauce, fast friendly service and a cosy atmosphere. Perfect Saturday lunch

Had a brilliant lunch here. Service was quick even though it was busy. Salmon and king prawn cocktail was very tasty. Dog friendly.

Great food, great atmosphere, fantastic staff.

Great service and great food, dog friendly too.

Nice surroundings. Lovely food and decent beers.

Good service, lovely staff, food was spot on

We enjoyed lamb curry and fresh breaded fish and chips sitting outside streetside early evening it was sunny and pleasant but a bit windy so early in the season. Food was delicious and service was good. We had coffee inside in the foyer where the atmosphere is warm and friendly and as locals we felt a holiday buzz which was exciting

Stopped in here after a leisurely walk on the beach. Mr B and I shared our light meal dishes. Homemade humous with olives, nachos with guacamole and salsa and home made chips. To drink we had diet coke and a pretty amazing glass of Malbec. Entire meal came to £30. It was a beautiful day, so we sat in the garden bar, which was lovely. The food was excellent, as was the ambience. The waiting staff were also pretty amazing. No complaints here, and they were dog friendly! Public car park available to rear of building

Lovely outside garden for eating/drinks

Perfect stay yet again. Clean stylish room's with comfortable bed.. Great food & extremely friendly staff... Perfect location for everything. See you all next time...

We had a wonderful stay at No12 Hotel and Bistro. Accommodation was very comfortable. Staff were excellent. The Garden was lovely. The food delicious. I'd highly recommend it. So central and parking available at the back of the hotel.

Great Central venue. Great situation for golfers. Lovely rooms and breakfast. If the weather is kind they have a fabulous bar area at the back. Recommended. Cheers Robert Barnard-Smith

Loved it here. Very friendly staff and great food.

Immaculate! Super service and great ambience Food delicious…Will definitely visit again - 100% recommend

Excellent lunch starter portion of moules marienaries fab , followed by prawn and smoked salmon salad, portion of chips freshly made dry and crispy.Glass of white vino lovely. Would highly recommend .We didn't book got a table inside also lovely outside seating .

Below average - Caesar salad was all out a packet and so substandard - worst £13.95 I have spent on food on in a long time!

Location was great, the food was a bit lower than average.

Perfect food, best cullen skink i ever had, my husband had a sweet potato coconut chili soup, it was exceptional too, staff are very friendly, good atmosphere, will 100% go back!

There is a limited menu at the moment due to staff shortages and supply chain problems. The food is good though.

Went for lunch with the inlaws, on a Saturday The menu was a bit better than the usual, with a good selection. The food was cooked to order, with healthy portions, there was nothing left on the plates. The restaurant looked like as if it had been recently refurbished, I'd imagine it would be quite cozy in the evenings when the stove is lit. (they have kept the train). We did book, it was busy and people were being turned away.

Great food & generous portions excellent service lovely Saturday afternoon sitting in the winter sun & people watching

Brilliant outdoor space for warm drinks after a winter walk.

Food was not good. We had some mediocre starters and pasta with shrimps and chorizo and honestly it seemed liked premade salsa from Tesco or smth and the pasta were boiled to death 😑. Also, after the starters our table had some soup dripped on it and instead of cleaning it they just served the mains over it and it was just messy 😏 For these prices we expected something way better. Sorry for the bad review but it's a chance for u guys to do better ✌️

Very nice place to enjoy a relaxing meal. Very pleasant.

Food was excellent and service was also very good.

This place is well worth a visit. Lovely helpful staff with speedy service. We sat in their garden under cover with a cozy blanket and heater. Enjoy

Great food, a good fantastic friendly staff

On a short break in North Berwick my wife and I visited No12 Bistro for lunch. The experience was so good we returned the next day. They say they are running a restricted menu for a number of reasons but the variety available seemed to offer something for everyone. Over the two days I had the grilled sea bass and the North Sea haddock whilst my wife had the fishcakes and nachos. The food was all beautifully cooked and presented and the service attentive and friendly. I would happily recommend No12 Bistro to anyone and we would definitely visit again when we are back in North Berwick.

Popped in for a drink and some food in the beer garden on our day trip to North Berwick. Really good food and nice staff. Thanks!

Called into No12 for lunch and sat outside as it was such a nice day. The menu said it only had limited options due to Covid but from what we could see there was plenty as it was.Food was very good, I had mussels and my wife had fish and chips with both meals being superbly cooked and very nice indeed. We just managed one dessert (shared between us) but to be honest we were totally stuffed.The staff are really friendly and attentive enough without being over the top.The setting itself was perfect on a warm, sunny day and we really enjoyed our visit.

What a fantastic place! We walked in as a group of 11, the staff were amazing. We sat in the beer garden at the rear fully covered and lots of lovely twinkling lights. Staff here were amazing. Anything they could help with they would! Super attentive. Food was lovely...wine was lovely We were very sad to go!

Reasonable choice on menu at this bar Bistro, meals were pretty average and children's macaroni was like soup with pasta. Staff very friendly and service was efficient.

Beer garden evening meal good value. Lovely service. Central.

Staff were friendly . Sat in beer garden. The Mussels were amazing, plump and flavoursome. The Sea Bass was cooked beautifully and full of flavour. We will definitely return.

Nice garden very quick service. Very helpful re my allergies.

The fries is great, but the steak is not that good. The service is nice. 牛排和煎鱼排一点都不好吃，建议吃其他菜
