I went along with a friend and also my 2 kids. We ended up having lunch and it was really lovely. The menu had not long been updated, we had toasted sandwiches - but the icing on the cake had to be the 'school cake sundae' it was to die for!! Shout out to lovely Farren - a real asset to the Harbour View - will 100% be back!

This place is so homely, welcoming, and friendly. The host could not do enought for me and my family. The rooms are so clean , the restaurant is amazing with wonderful food and as for the staff , they are totally understanding to your needs as is the host. Shona as we learned her name is one amazing lady friendly, and very caring towards everyone she meets. Inside this place as well as outside is well organized for your every needs. I definitely will stay here again and will get more of my family and friends to visit the harbour view. I really want to go back again very soon I recommend this place to all that want a family orientated holiday.

Nous étions de passage, nous sommes entrés et là nous avons été accueillis avec le grand sourire habituel des écossais. L'accueil et la gentillesse, parfait, le repas simple et très bon et la vue top. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant.

Upstairs is getting decorated so we had lunch in the bar downstairs. The food was delicious, Mac and cheese with chips and garlic bread for me and fresh fish and chips for my husband. Both absolutely delicious. You still get a gorgeous view from downstairs. Outside was busy with people sitting enjoying the sun and it’s also dog-friendly which is great. A real jewel on the Fife coast. Will be back soon.

Service was good - menu was limited - but at this time of year to be expected; dog friendly; food not best presented - glad I wasnt having the 3 bean chilli! Although oyr friend said it tasted good; there is no way the scampi come fresh from Aberdeen or anything to do with langoustines!!!!

An amazing Christmas lunch. Food was well presented, delicious and sourced locally. Staff were attentive and friendly. Dogs are also well looked after with water and treats. Would definitely visit again. Excuse the bite out of the baileys cheesecake, I couldn’t wait.

Short menu but everything was really good well cooked meat was tender and tasteful if that is a word. Staff were young but had a decent understanding of service and hygiene. So have been well trained. I was impressed.

Absolutely delightful! Shona has created a lovely environment with delicious meals, all while enjoying a stunning view of the sea. We ordered a sausage and egg roll, as well as a ham and cheese toastie. Both were super tasty. We can’t wait to visit again!

We arranged with Shona to host a joint 18th & 40th birthday party at the Harbour View. The upstairs is a perfect venue for us. From first contacting Shona then meeting her at the venue, everything went very smooth. The food choices are excellent and when the food was put out during the party we were all very surprised and absolutely everyone enjoyed the buffet. They even make their own cakes! I want to say everyone, from the bar staff to the chef worked hard and went above and beyond for us. Special thanks to: Grant for excellent food. Shari for helping setting up for the party The bar tenders who served on the night. Shona and Murphy for being fabulous hosts and lovely people. I highly recommend The Harbour View

The staff were lovely but what I assume to be the boss was an absolute nutter, absolutely horrible to there staff, talking inappropriately to them as well, shouting at them as soon as we walked through the door, the food was pleasant but so expensive for what you get, I have so much sympathy for the staff that work there having to put up with a boss/manager like that

Only thing about it was the lovely view until that was disturbed which looked like the manager or the owner speaking abruptly to other staff members while serving people at a table. Food was basic for the price and there is hardly any vegetarian options. Place seem grubby and dirty looks so run down and closed on arrival, could do with a good clean up in and outside. Expectations of the place doesn’t look the same as on photos they post. Having I assume is the boss standing and talking to you for ages while you’re trying to eat your food. Been up and won’t be back!!!

Absolutely amazing food and service, myself and my wife were recommended this place by friends, we live 30 minutes away - well worth the journey ! We sat in the restaurant, both had the fish tea, one of the best fish and chips we have ever had ! The staff were all super friendly and helpful and very attentive ! The whole place was absolutely spotless . All the food was cooked from fresh when ordered. Cannot wait to return and cannot recommend the place enough. We finished the meal with a delicious ice cream which was amazing also.

We visited on a whim during a nice New Year’s Day stroll through St. Andrews. We’ve enjoyed zizzi’s before (in Inverness and Glasgow) so we were excited to give this one a go. In a nutshell to anyone reading this I’d give this Zizzi’s a miss due to the incredibly disappointing service. There was one table occupied in the whole restaurant yet we had to wait five minutes to be greeted and seated. We ended up having to provide ourselves with menus and get halfway taken to a table. There wasn’t difficulty finding a table but for some reason she disappeared as we were grabbing our seats no offer of drinks till five minutes later. She seemed to lack interest - which is fair, we thought that perhaps she drew the short straw and had to work New Year’s Day. However, if that were the case, as much as we can understand the bitterness, we as the customers shouldn’t have had to take the brunt of it. We had a rustica pizza - which was lovely as usual. The lasagne however was as disappointing as the service. Small, somewhat standard lasagne for a ridiculous price. A young man took us our pizza and lasagne - he was the only saving grace of the service. He made eye contact, he was friendly, happily got us everything we asked for as extras - testament to the restaurant! The original lass took us our fries and for some reason threw/slammed the plate on the table. We then asked another lass working (who seemed like she might have been in charge) after finally getting her attention for some more fries which she seemed super stressed (at this point there was now 4 tables in the whole restaurant and the young man was the only one seen to be actually working so unsure why she seemed so stressed). She also walked briskly past our table and slammed the plate down. We were taken aback by the treatment and even made a joke that they’re rushed of their feet with four tables so it makes total sense 🙄 Luckily the young lad ended our visit with a typical waiters farewell of thanks and have a good night. Unfortunately we passed the two lasses at the bar as we were leaving, now I’m not sure why did, but I said Thank you and bye as I walked past them and not one of them looked up and said anything. Honestly quite shocked with the incredibly poor service. Even if you’re bummed to be working on a public holiday you can still provide decent service. Borderline hostile and we’re not sure why. Thanks to the young lad. You’re the seemingly only professional there and excellent at your job!

Well that’ll teach me to read reviews first! Chips are literally brick hard, cold and greasy. Garlic bread was like cardboard and frozen. Wasn’t even delivered in an insulated bag. Restaurant should be embarrassed to put food like this out. Avoid.
