Dinner on our first night in Arbroath and I was keen to try the smoked fish pie, the photo does not do it justice, it was delicious! Nico (apologies if not correct spelling) was our waiter and he was really lovely, he took the time to help us choose food and wine. Also nice to chat about climbing Munros! Nice outlook near the boatyards, service as great. Definitely recommend this place!

We absolutely loved this place, fantastic family run restaurant with delicious food. Can absolutely recommend the Bloody Mary with the meatiest oyster I’ve ever eaten; and the monkfish was divine! The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, but with very professional staff, who are very attentive and caring. Thanks so much for a very enjoyable evening, our waitress is one of the owners daughters, and I have to say she is a credit to your lovely family.

Your management need to take a serious look at your staff, or is it the 2024 virus, just glad to get someone. Service, terrible by all 3 staff we encountered. You can't have dogs there, it's only a la carte, move your dogs. Absolute disgrace by all your staff, there are ways to talk to people. Good luck over the quiet months when you treat people like that, and all 3 staff were standing doing nothing when I entered. This was on Aug 30th around 5 pm if you want to narrow it down. And not a soul on your precious decking. Disgraceful customer service. And your toilets were out of paper, female

This is one of our favourite places to have lunch; we don't go very often but probably head up from Dundee every couple of months. Today we had a swim at Broughty Ferry beach first, and were in about twenty minutes, which is longer than usual. By the time we got to Arbroath the chill had set in... A waitress ( not our server) could see I was cold. She offered me a blanket, then brought two and helped me wrap up, which was the sweetest thing. Lunch was also delish; as usual

Very good food and atmosphere I definitely recommend it. However today we had a very bad experience with one of the waitresses. We were sitting outside, and we had just given our order, but we decided to move to a table in the sun because we were in the shade and it felt cold. As we were standing up to get to the other table the waitress shouted at us because the tables are numbered. I had not noticed that, and I understand it might create a problem when paying the bill, but it was an honest mistake and there is not reason to get shouted at. I hope this did not happen because we were speaking another language, but it definitely made me feel very unwelcome and sad.

We enjoyed our meal at The Old Boatyard Restaurant in Arbroath. The food was delicious, and the location is fantastic. However, as the restaurant got busier, the staff seemed a bit stressed, which made the service less friendly. This is understandable, but it did affect our experience slightly. Overall, though, the food, location, and service were excellent.

Exceptional service and an impressive wine selection make this seaside seafood restaurant a standout! The staff were not only friendly and welcoming but also extremely knowledgeable about both the menu and the extensive wine list. Our server guided us through perfect pairings, enhancing the flavors of our dishes with exquisite wines. The waiters recommendations were spot-on, elevating our dining experience to a new level. Every interaction was warm and professional, making us feel truly valued as guests. Coupled with the stunning ocean views, this restaurant is a must-visit for anyone seeking top-notch service and a superb wine experience by the sea!

Absolutely stellar dining experience! This seaside seafood restaurant is a gem. From the moment we walked in, the fresh ocean breeze and stunning views set the perfect atmosphere. The menu is a seafood lover's dream, brimming with fresh, local catches. The lobster bisque was rich and creamy, while the grilled sea bass was perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The staff was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent wine pairings with our meal. To top it all off, we enjoyed a delightful dessert watching the waves. A must-visit for anyone who loves great food and breathtaking views!

Sorry but this has to be the most over priced and arrogant restaurant around. Took ages to serve us ans found human hairs in the food. Complained and they said don't worry no extra charge. Other places very close by pride themselves on good service with a smile. Certainly won't be back. Owner so arrogant that he doesn't follow up on any reviews.

What a disappointing first (and last) experience! Have the staff had their pay demand rejected or something? From the moment we entered this restaurant and we were pointed to where our booked table was instead of being taken there right through to the dessert, from the customer service perspective it was very poor. None of the staff who waited on our table even broke a smile of tried to engage with us in any way apart from the standard" what would you like". The restaurant was very busy initially and that may have contributed to the lack of basic customer service but never the less !! The food, by the way was delicious as were the desserts but to serve half of our table their dessert and the others not get theirs until those served first had finished is unacceptable. The restaurant needs to understand that people don't just go their to eat, they go to eat together. The answer to my query as to where our desserts were was that different desserts are made up in separate sections of the kitchen!!! So there's no coordination to ensure tables are served their meals at the same time??

We took our mum here for Mother's Day and the place was packed, great ambience from the second we entered. The staff were polite, attentive, quick to act and just lovely - offering us alternatives if something was sold out and even offering to move us to a different table when one became available as ours wasn't in a great place. There is a great menu with something for everyone (one of us is vegetarian and another doesn't eat fish). When the food arrived, it looked great, it was hot and it was absolutely delicious, there were 4 empty plates by the time we were finished. Cannot recommend this place enough! It was my first time here but it wont be my last, the best meal you will find in the area. Thanks to all the staff who made it such a lovely evening!

I have been here on numerous occasions and have to say I have never been disappointed until now. Party of 5, one being a youngster and a bill of over £200. I have to say 4 meals were good, I choose a starter and a main from the “specials”. Whitebait which was cooked in the same fryer as the fish and tasted like a chippy, I did not complain just thought I’ll not order that again. My main was a whole Plaice, was not greatly presented but could overlook this, the fish itself was all stringy and mushy, it slipped through the prongs of the fork and had no taste. It ended up a mushy mess in the liquid at the bottom of the plate. I told the waitress that I was disappointed with the meal and had to ask twice to speak to someone to be told this was the nature of the fish and no one else had complained about it. The young lad who came with the bill was very rude and on leaving with the bill paid in full as they refused to accept the fish was unacceptable I stopped to thank the waitress as she had been lovely, and to tell the owner that I was very disappointed with the attitude we had received, he smirked and nodded his head at me, I will never be back either here or his chippy as I found his attitude was that he knew my meal was unacceptable but did not care one bit, for an owner to act like that I find totally unacceptable

Was quite happy with it all until on leaving they ignored us saying bye and one member said to another fairly loudly that we were "very rude". Don't think asking for hygiene standards is rude and we were polite about the whole thing. At least wait until the customer leaves before talking about them!

Should have left then tbh. We both had fish dishes which tasted very good but the fish soup was full of bones and lets say not feeling great today. The meal wasn't cheap which makes it all the worse.

We had a great meal in this lovely restaurant. We were in Arbroath specifically for the smokies my husband had wanted to try for very many years and this was our first taste. We both had them for starters (there were various ways you could have them). Then I had halibut, one of my very favourite fish, and it was delicious. Husband had equally delicious sea bass. Restaurant was very busy but service was good and staff were efficient and charming. We went back another day for morning coffee and cake - very good. They also serve breakfast. We'd love to go back.

Overbooked, horrendously busy,no room between tables and extremely noisy because of hen parties. This was 6 o’clock on a Saturday evening. Food overpriced,especially starter and main,fish pie,had little sauce and was as dry as unbuttered bread. Reported dry fish pie 3 times but no one was interested. They just wanted our money and our table.Made us feel very unwelcome.Won’t be back.

We visited on a busy night over the August Bank Holiday weekend, so the place was packed and very noisy. Our table was cramped against a side door - although I had booked ahead - and smokers were squeezing in and out and leaving the door open, so I was acting as doorman. The staff were friendly but rushed off their feet. We had all seafood entrees and mains. The bisque lacked taste and the rest was just OK for the price. Maybe we would have done better to order fish and chips. Even given how busy things were, I would not return.

Four of us here for a family meal. Two of us had the haddock/leek crepe, very tasty however the accompanying sauce was rather “thin” but very tasty, we asked for bread so as not to leave so much of it. Chowder was imo also a bit “thin” but again was very tasty and was certainly enjoyed. Bread was lovely, as was my glass of Rose. The other three just had water. Three of us had fish and chips, all three enjoyed this. I had the hake with fragrant (Thai inspired) risotto, I really enjoyed this, the flavours in the risotto blended together very well. Two of us shared a knickerbocker glory (not my first choice from the sundae’s list), it’s been years since I’ve had one and we both enjoyed it. The service was good, surroundings are nice, but there was a couple of bits of food from previous diners on the floor under our table/my chair, something I do get a bit irked at. Women’s toilet was very clean, that’s something I truly appreciate. The menu prices on here should be up-dated as they have risen quite a bit. Overall, I would definitely happily return any time. It was my first visit, the other three had all eaten here at least once previously and are also happy to return any time.

This was a butter sauce with garlic tossed over the seafood. I asked for chips… they were hard and dry. I actually left them. No point in complaining … no point in mentioning Livorno, the joys of Arcachon or St Jean de luz. They’d have thought I was a crank. But I do know that nowhere in France would this bizarre presentation be accepted. Seafood restaurant? I don’t think so!! The salad was the star act tho!

Rooms were good if you didn’t mind people enjoying the gardens watching you General service was good , food choice for dinner was disgusting, McDonald’s have a better range and quality After 4 days we are still waiting for a refund after being seriously over changed Overall it’s not bad, Would we go back NO WAY
