The Salt Cellar in Moray

Great setting and comfortable too. I had Moules Mariniere with Garlic Bread starter and Rump Steak Garnie with Hand Cut Chips, I was looking forward to real chips. I got a generous amount of mussels but they were very over cooked and so salty as to be unpleasant, served with a very small slice of baugette. I left the sauce because it was so salty. My steak was not a steak it was two very small pieces of meat, I asked the waitress about the size and got a rude reply before she walked away. Because we had guests I decided to not persue the matter, this was a mistake, the meat tasted stale, the mushrooms, tomatoes and peas were cold and the 'hand cooked chips' were frozen chips which tasted of burnt cooking oil. I left the chips and noticed that our guests left theirs too. When we had finished a lady asked if everything had been ok. I told her about my main and she took the complaint very seriously and sent someone else, who was very apologetic, to see us and I was asked if I would like anything else but it was all too late. I was charged the full price for my appalling meal which says it all.

Have eaten here many times over the last few years and was always a joy, however....our last visit may well be our last visit. Ambience is still ok but the changes to food not very welcome. Sirloin Steak and spaghetti bolognese for mains. Sticky toffee pudding and custard and cheesecake of the day for desserts. Sounds mouth watering but lets dig a bit deeper. Mains arrive had to ask for sauces and condiments which when they did arrive wasn't what we had really asked for and no option of parmesan for the bolognese. Steak cooked to perfection i like medium rare and the "hand cut chips" i'm sure Aunty Bessie was proud of them. The steak was about 3/4 fat and grizzle, not how i remember them. The bolognese was served in a plate that made it look like a meal but the centre was shallow and the bolognese itself was runny and not that great tasting none of the mains cleared. There was no complimentary is everything ok chat. Now desserts sticky toffee pudding arrives in again a large rimmed plate with very little in the middle of where the dessert was. Measuring about 40mm by 45mm i thought i had ordered a kids portion ( similar to the bolognese main). The cheese cake then landed and looked and tasted like it had been sitting for a while again not fully consumed. We were sat not far from the bar area and watched conversations with front of house staff some of which did not look very comfortable with one lady in particular being the main reason for this a bit uncomfortable to say the least. The above with 2 pints and a soft drink came to @£73 and considering what we had and the experience all in left the bitterest taste in our mouths. Now i'm sure that many people have had great experiences here but unfortunately this wasn't us on this visit and compared to food quality and pricing in the past this is our last, We understand the current economy etc but you can't be seen to cut corners and not be noticed

If you can’t be bothered to do a Sunday lunch then please don’t advertise that you do! Beef dinner was warmed beef in gravy, a spoon of powered mash and two other potatoes that were advertised as roasts but if they were shown to the oven it was a bonus. Aunt Bessie Yorkshire pudding. Cabbage with bacon bits and carrots. The pork dinner was advertised with Apple sauce, but this looked more like a brown chutney! Pudding came with the dinner. A choice of a small slice of Sticky toffee pudding, which was just a Carmel sauce over a small cake and although we asked for this with ice cream, custard arrived. The only other choice was advertised as an Ice-cream Sunday! This was a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of strawberry ice cream, whipped cream, a horrid tasting flake and a wafer. In the bottom of the small glass was the ‘fruit cocktail’ mix you get in tins! The other food they do here maybe nice, so stick with that and drop the things you have no time for!

wow food was amazing, staff where also happy polite and professional, it was my mums 77 birthday i took a birthday cake and they went one better and put candles on and the gentleman wore flashing glasses it was amazing the whole restaurant sang happy birthday it realy made my mums day. thank you to the restaurant staff for making it a day to remember

I went to meet a friend for coffee today , we walked in and no one acknowledged us so we just sat down at a dirty table, no one came to us for about 15 minutes with menus and a cloth. We ordered coffee and a biscuit and the empire biscuit was awful. Dry and rock solid! the coffee wasn’t nice at all. Poor service and quality. I go here every now and then for a meal but probably not anymore! Just to add the menus and specials haven’t changed in years, same old same old stuff.

Just back from a lovely night at the salt Cellar Had the sea bass and was absolutely delicious Highly recommend it Had a super night Good company and great food Staff very attentive and really friendly

10 years coming here never an issue until today we walked in was told to sit anywhere by the woman who then was never to seen again sat there for 15 minutes while 3 waitresses stood at the bar chatting we gave up and left you will receive a letter soon alongside my report

I always order the steak and eggs , the quality has become something of a lottery. It used to be amazing , then it started to slide ( burnt eggs) once told the chef that can cook the steaks went home and I would have to order something else. Today was the worst, steak was dry overcooked and had no flavour . I mentioned it to the waitress who said it was the owner in the kitchen. Sorry if this comes as bad news but I just wasted 30 quod and I formally quit order that again . By the way? Your 2 onion rings were like biscuits

Great place with relaxed atmosphere. Starters and main meal was tasty but the desert was tasty but a very small portion of sticky toffee pudding. I did mention it when paying and the staff didn't even say anything. I expected more from the manager.

What a lovely place and the staff are amazing, delicious food in a cosy former salt cellar. I had a great meal I'd love to go again soon yum

Best Lorne sausage roll! Big thick lump of Lorne, fried onions, soft white roll and Americano. Just what the doctor ordered. Friendly staff too.

Sticky Toffee was comically small for £7. When a meal contains onion rings, I didn’t realise it meant the literal definition of 2 rings. Trash being carried through the restaurant, past diners, mid dinner.

Excellent service, great food, excellent service.

Great food and selection of beers, malts and gins. Cracking service as usual.

Food is excellent and a lovely chilled atmosphere.

I went here twice for lunch, the first time I said I would not return as the food was not up to the price charged. I got a teaspoonful of coleslaw and a tiny piece of lettuce with a quarter of tomato for the salad. I had battered fish with coleslaw and salad. I know not a lot of people eat their salad so may not be bothered by that. My pal had lasagne and swapped her garlic bread for chips, she was not impressed saying it was very little mince in it and no layers, it didn't even look like lasagne, it was very quiet when we were there which was nice and the home cooked chips were lovely. I returned with my two granddaughters to treat them and it was slightly better apart from the this time they would not swap the garlic bread for chips as they had done the week before. Expensive for average food that feels skimped on. I ended up having the fish again as no other meat free options so not a great place if you are vegetarian. I won't be back as I didn't feel value for money but the battered fish was lovely.

It's a great place to sit out with the dog and have a meal. I have had good experiences when dining with my partner or friends. Unfortunately, on this one occasion, I was on my own with my dog and unable to go into the restaurant, so I asked a passing member of staff for a menu, which was brought out to me. Unfortunately, I waited 20 minutes for a response to order a meal. A couple sat next to me, kindly looked after my dog while I went to the bar to see why no one had come back to take my order. The reply was " I forgot" 🫣. Oops . I ordered a prawn cocktail with a salad and a piece of crusty bread, as described on the menu. But, what I received was a wee portion of shrimps in a wee dish containing a scrap of lettuce, a tiny wedge of tomato, and a thin slice of cucumber. The best bit was that the crusty bread was a slice of fruit bread. The description and the price did not reflect on the quality and quality of the prawn cocktail. Therefore, I can not give it a 5 star rating.

Food very bland and super carb heavy "curry"

Had a meal here, sat in the sunshine outside. Really enjoyed the food.

A group of us went here for a meal, everything was just perfect. The views are like nothing uve seen, genuinely doesn't feel like your in Scotland... absolutely love lossiemouth!

We loved this little resteraunt! YOU HAVE TO TRY THE CULLEN SKINK RISOTTO!. Staff very polite and helpful. Fast service, well cooked food, lovely settings. Some dishes a little pricey though but we loved it! If you visit lossie, visit here!

First fish not well cooked very greasy second fish much better

They forgot to serve one of three meals.

The place is lovely, the food is great and the prices are great , but we were sat between 2 large groups, which were very noisy and to say rather rude and extremely foul in their behaviour and language. Staff never seemed to be interested on 2hat was going on . We could nit even talk to each other they were so loud . So we ate and went to pay the bill, we were told we would have to wait to pay . Shame as it could be amazing place but customers seem to rule .

We were thoroughly disappointed. We waited an hour for our food. When it arrived the order was wrong, I asked for a fillet steak medium, I received a fillet steak with haggis, pate which i dislike and it was rare, my father in law requested a rare fillet steak with haggis, he received a well done steak with no haggis. The Sunday roast was dry and the meat in general was tasteless. We didn’t wait for pudding as the wait for lunch was so long, very expensive for the poor quality food and service we had received, much nicer places in Lossie to eat.

The food is very low quality, the staff are not very well mannered and unprofessional. We were served our meal in a takeaway box despite her acknowledging we were diners. The bathrooms were unusable.

Excellent service and good food!

Had an outstanding meal here. My friends both had Cullen Skink to start and they were both very impressed with it. I had the garlic mushrooms which were also superb. My main was the sirloin and it was cooked to perfection with just the right amount of chips and veg to go along with it. My friends had the steak pie and Cullen Skink risotto respectively, and they too were praising the dishes highly. Comfortable surroundings with very capable and attentive staff, so I would recommend it highly.

My family and I ate out late on a Friday afternoon at the Salt Cellar / Smugglers / Guidis (all the same place, same kitchen) and I was shocked and upset about how I was treated by the owner of the place. When my food arrived I quite surprised at the size of the piece of monkfish I was served. As you can see in the photo the size of it was similar to that of a standard sized mayo packet width and length wise, depth wise it was around 1.5cm. I called the server back over and pointed this out to him and very nicely (not angry, not rude) just explained that for £23 I didn't think this was an acceptable size of fish. That size of fish I'd expect at a Michelin starred restaurant, not Guidi's in Lossiemouth. The server went away to have a word with the chef and came back and offered me another portion. Which I agreed too. It came out, still on the smaller size but a lot better so all good, all sorted. Until 10/15 mins later this guy (I later found out was the owner) came storming over to me and in a very passive aggressive tone demanded to know "are you happy now" - his exact words. I was in shock to be honest but said "yes, thank you, this piece was much better". Oh boy. I was then subjected to, again very passive aggressively to a lecture about the cost of fish and he even then pulled out his phone to show me a photo of man sized halibut (or some other fish, definitely wasn't monkfish) and was told it cost him £500. He then went on and on about how expensive this fish was and basically I think the point he was trying to make was that I shouldn't be moaning about the size that I was served. He then stomped back off both leaving my partner and 12 year old daughter to declare that they wanted to leave now. My daughter was so upset she left half of her pizza. That was our lovely Friday night treat absolutely ruined, by what I can only describe as a nasty bully. Oh and I paid £85 to be treated like that! So word of warning. Don't eat there. If you do, don't complain about anything and certainly don't do the right thing and complain in person when you're in the restaurant to allow them the opportunity to rectify it. Wait until you've left the establishment and write a bad review online. Lesson learnt

Food & service were nice however observed male server stick his finger into a my tiramisu the female server was holding. She still served it to me knowing his finger was in my food !!

Everything explosive, food ok nice mussels

Called in for Sunday lunch, we sat outside and the drop from full marks for service is simply that there were no instructions outside for whether yo wait to be seated etc. the food was wonderful, good value for money. Somewhere we will definitely go again. The inside of the restaurant has bespoke character and charm, we just wanted the sunshine and experience of eating a Sunday lunch overlooking the sea.

Very busy and music very loud in the sports bar.

My family and I ate out late Friday afternoon at the Smugglers / Guidis and it's taken me this long to get over the shock and upset to be able to write about how I was treated by the owner of the place.

As you can see in the photo the size of it was similar to that of a standard sized mayo packet width and length wise, depth wise it was around 1.5cm.

Great food and great value for money

The food was outstanding!!! Very good for everyone of all ages! When we was in there was a little girls birthday and everyone was singing and clapping for her it was really nice! Loved the place, price was brilliant considering it was the best meal I'd had out in a long long time, would deffo recommend, well done and thankyou ☺️☺️

Excellent place, very pleasant, fast service by competent staff

We had a wonderful family meal here everyone enjoyed the food. Coffee was excellent.

Ordered a haddock and chips and steak pie. The haddock was massive and delicious. Steak pie was tasty also. Good atmosphere and friendly service. Would recommend

Had a nice roll on sausage there this morning . Will bring my wife next time for lunch

Upon arrival it was beautiful the interior is certainly undersold it's fantastic, they offer outdoor eating and smoking for those that it endulges. I would say steer clear of the burgers very cheap meat unfortunately however the kids burger meal was fantastic as was the jacket potato. Suggestions are lower prices better meats! Other than that spot on! I will be back on 4 August 2024 for a steak I hope the meat is better. Thank you

Where do I start. Said it was dog friendly but had to sit outside which to me isn't a dog friendly restaurant. My wife ordered her food and it came without the prawns as the menu said and by the time it got back to her the chicken was cold and I was nearly finished my meal. So all in all I would stay clear.

Visited Lossiemouth for a day out while on holiday. Decided to call in here for some lunch. The staff were all very friendly to us and attentive even though it got rather busy whilst we were there. My only criticism would be that we were charged more than what we were expecting. After reading other reviews on here it is apparent that we aren’t the only ones who have experienced a hike in the price. One of the reviews even said that the menu does not include VAT! So, I would suggest that the menu is revised to reflect the correct prices so there are no surprises at the end. As I say, this was my only criticism as we had an otherwise pleasant experience dining here. Thank you.

As good as the 5 Star indicates

Visited today, wouldn't be in a rush to go back. Very quiet for an afternoon in holiday season, £57 for 4 breakfasts and a round of coca cola. Breakfast underwhelming, had better at a supermarket. Atmosphere lacking, bar and service staff not very friendly and made us feel like they didn't want us there, especially as we were dining with children. Very expensive place to eat.

Lovely food.. And the place is cool

Just ordered a takeaway pepperoni pizza - & it was absolutely amazing~ cheers to the chef. Perfect cheese & crispy crust - best we have had it years!

My pizza was delicious, homemade base was lovely

Sadly we had a disastrous experience. When we arrived it was busy outside but there were plenty of tables. Someone came over, gave us some menus and took our drinks order. The arrival of our drinks was the last good thing to happen. We waited so long for someone to take our food order I queued at the bar, only to be told someone would be right over. They took our order, but we also asked for some water for the table. 30 mins went by and no food or water. We finally caught a waitress who brought over the water and said the food would be a few minutes. We waited another 10 and still no food. We went up to the bar to ask, where they didn’t seem to know what we ordered but said it would be on its way. After 50 minutes we went back to the bar and waited to ask after our food whilst the staff behind the bar berated the new system and ignored us. Ultimately after an hour we gave up, paid for our drinks and left. And we weren’t the only ones to give up. I don’t know whether it was because of the new system or the start of the busy summer season, but the complete lack of knowledge about what was going on amongst the staff was astounding, and the way they handled it atrocious. Sadly I think it’s put us off ever returning.

Superb seafood restaurant set with a very stylish cellar style building and backed up with a great menu including quality fresh produce and the seafood is excellent. I had the langoustines as a starter which were served with salad and a garlic butter, tasted great. For main I opted for a whole lobster which I had served with a garlic butter, rice, salad and artisan bread. Great flavours. Fast and friendly service compliments an excellent experience. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, after having the steak pie i ended up in hospital with food poisoning! It wasn't very hot so we sent it back and by the time it came back my husband had already finished eating. Will not be back!!

Beautiful venue but unfortunately a pretty bland pub-style menu. We booked a table for dinner on Sunday evening but there was no need to. Before our meal we had a drink in the Smuggler's bar, where there was a much more interesting menu featuring plenty of local seafood. As far as I can work out, Smuggler's, the Salt Cellar, Bridge 45 and a sports bar are all operated by the same folk (they are all adjacent to one another too) so it was disappointing not to have the same menu options in the Salt Cellar. If you're looking for an atmospheric venue but not a particularly tantalising menu, then I can recommend the Salt Cellar. If it's a varied selection of fresh seafood you're after (which we were), I'd stay in Smuggler's bar. I wish we had!

Bit of a mix up with the order, but food was great! Would definitely come back

Staff were friendly and efficient. The venue was interesting and inviting. The restaurant predominantly focuses on fresh local seafood and on that front, everyone was happy and food was commendable. The vegetarian burger meal was an after thought. Fairly confident it was a frozen Birdseye vegetable burger with standard fries and side salad. Just think if it's on the menu, it should be a solid attempt of producing a quality meal and not just to tick the vegi option box.

Planned on going somewhere else for dinner and according to their website they had Mac and cheese, which is what my daughter really wanted, turned out it wasn't on the menu, so we ended up searching for somewhere else and settled on here, thankfully they had a table and Mac and cheese! My husband had the fish and chips, I had the beach beef burger (nearly got the Sunday roast as those menu options looked fab) and my daughters the Mac and cheese, we got one mozzarella sticks to start, they were delicious and wished we'd ordered more to share! Thought one fussy daughter might not have like them but she did. Mains were good portions and tasty. We got sticky toffee pudding for dessert, husband opting for custard with his and I got ice cream, both had plenty of toffee sauce, sometimes you need more but not tonight, daughter had the apple pie which was gone in no time at all! Staff were attentive, friendly and on the ball. Prices ok too, would definitely return if in the area on holiday again.

Best thing about this restaurant is the view from outside tables. Inside appears pleasant enough. Portion sizes stingy and some items expensive for what they are. £4.50 for a latte !!! Staff couldn't get our order right which resulted in 2 of our party having to wait another 15 minutes for our food...not conducive to a relaxed meal with friends!!@ Only consolation was a yummy tiramisu. Coffees very strong and very expensive !!!

Lovely restaurant in Lossiemouth, fantastic menu and lovely staff

Lovely place tucked away just off the seafront. Lovely fresh fish dishes and friendly staff, a little pricey and was chilly in there but would go again if in Lossie again

Good food and staff. Interior looks nice, but works like a sound box. Hanging something sound-absorbing would make it an even better restaurant.👌

The food and building is great, but it is a very busy place which adds to it feeling a hurried experience. Even though the staff are swift and attentive the pace of the place ends up adding to my feeling rushed. Sad really 😔

We called in for lunch. There was plenty of seats available as it was relatively quiet in the area that day. My mum's Guinness had gritty bits in it but they swapped it without any issues. I had cod in a piazzolla sauce with prawns. My partner had a chicken wrap and my mum had Cullen skink. The portions were generous and the service was good.

Great little place, staff extremely helpful and friendly, great food fab service beautiful views over Lossie beach

Just had an excellent Sunday lunch here and will certainly come back. I had the roast beef and my wife had the salmon - both were fantastic, a well deserved 5 stars.

Lovely meals. Fish and chips for hubby, Cullen skink risotto for me. Large portions. Service was great. Prices reasonable.

Rustic atmosphere, friendly service and very good food at a fair price 👍👍

Absolutely delicious meals in a lovely venue. Easily the nicest dining experience we've had in the area.

After a full day's activity seeing the local sites, we needed to refuel and relax. Popped into the Salt Cellar and was not disappointed. Quick and friendly service. Food came quick and hot. As a bonus, the piped music was great.

Great little place by the sea, lovely décor and atmosphere on the inside and seating area outside.

Sat outside with dogs. Staff were lovely, food was quite overpriced

Best Cullen Skink in Moray. Staff are very pleasant, and the food is scrumptious.

Great place to eat. Fabulous atmosphere. Wonderful food. So popular...

Food was good, however, we reserved a table for 7.30pm, arrived bang on time, only to be told the customers had paid but hadn't left yet. Thank god for the bar next door, then got our table over 30 mins later. First time I've ever encountered anything like this. Also, never got offered desert menu, just 'the bill' by one member of staff. Thankfully, about 10 mins later, a more friendly member of staff asked if everything was ok, and would we like to see the deserts. Mixed feelings about this place. Sadly, won't be back.

Had a lovely dinner ,staff very nice lovely atmosphere

Really nice meal, interesting variety on the menu but I had Steak pie and it was very good!

Had lunch here 11/04/24. Food very nice, panni, brie and crispy bacon, was very tasty. Reasonably priced but big demerit = toilets down a stair, so no disabled access. We sat outside enjoying the spring sunshine and feeling like we were abroad. Not so good if you don't like dogs, OK for families.

Outside on a bonnie day chill and chew

Fantastic place, visited many times, friendly staff and great food.

One star because zero is not possible. The food was absolutely inedible. I felt so nauseous. Absolutely not recommended for the price!

Very pleasent people and nice food.

Unique restaurant strongly recommended a visit

You have to visit a unique seller Restaurant

Can’t really comment much on the atmosphere as was outside but it was a relatively sunny day. Cafe not dog friendly but we could sit outside and the staff provided us with a dog bowl. We were told orders can’t be taken outside and had to go to the bar which is fine but after we had ordered someone came up to us outside and asked if we wanted to order so was a bit contradicting. The ice cream was really nice but the reason for the review really was the panini I had. It was not good. It came with a pile of lettuce, 2 slices of cucumber and some coleslaw. Looked like the stuff you’d get in the Tesco meal deal section. The panini was burnt. The bread looked like a baguette that had grill lines drawn on to it. I was disappointed with it especially for the price it was not worth it. But I seen other peoples food looked alright so might just go for something else if I go back.

Nice pub near the beach with a nice view.

Overall experience was shocking-absolute chaos. Called a few weeks in advance asking for a table by the wall and was told that was okay. However, when we turned up we got sat right in the middle of the room as well as by the till where constant people were walking. After bringing our request for this to their attention they refused to move us to a different table as it was “fully booked” then proceeded to accept walk ins. Rude staff- complaining about customers phoning because of how “busy” it was, also walked away whilst we were mid sentence on multiple occasions. As we were sat by the bar we could hear the Manageress? Who seemed pretty overwhelmed and hostile the entire time to staff and indirectly to customers which affected the atmosphere. Overall service was not good. Food was okay however, would not return.

Set in a beautiful location the Salt Cellar has a great atmosphere. We stopped for lunch basic but tasty and plentiful.

We hadn’t booked but they managed to find myself, my husband and 4 year old a table. My husband and I had the triple meat roast which was faultless, absolutely delicious and for the good price of the roast, it came with a dessert. Will definitely look forward to a return trip and meal in the salt cellar.

Hugely disappointed. The burger was soaked in grease witch made the bun soggy chips tasted funny And so did the salad (fishy) Whole lot went in the bin My husband says his spag Bol was just ok but he wouldn’t buy it again.

We have recently moved upto Scotland and decided to have Lunch at the sea salt cellar. Lovely setting with a warm proffessional feeling. My wife had a large glass of Merlot ( reasonably priced) The prime beef Sunday roast followed by Sticky toffee pudding and custard. I had the Sunday special trio meat and the sticky toffee pudding with ice-cream. We had a pot of tea to wash it all down !! All this for £39.90 which was excellent value compared to some places. There is a upstairs fish resturant which was closed, we will be back in the summer to try it out.

Without a doubt one the nicest restaurants in Moray, if you’re visiting Lossiemouth I would highly recommend. The service is always top tier with friendly, helpful staff. Loads of choice and a pretty good kids menu as a bonus. Went today with my partner and had a lovely Sunday roast so I am definitely full for the day.

The starters were great but the mains were dreadful. We were disappointed with our experience.

It was a bit of a disappointment tbh. Such a shame because it’s a pretty restaurant and the staff are so incredibly lovely. My husband had pâté and then a burger which he said both were alright, not bad at all but nothing to shout about. I had garlic mushrooms and then mussels and fries. The garlic mushrooms were either tinned or frozen mushrooms with butter and garlic salt, greasy and the texture was not good. The mussels were overcooked the first time, so I asked to send them back and was offered a second portion. The staff were really lovely about this and I felt awful. But the second portion were equally over cooked and tasted really vinegary, so I just gave up and to be fair no one asked how the second portion was anyway. It says on the menu that they’re fresh moray coast mussels, but I would bet a months wages that they’re not. And finally, the menu doesn’t include VAT, so don’t expect to pay the price on the menu. (Their pretty average Pinot Grigio is also £8.75 a glass - and no drinks menu is supplied). But the staff were great!

Fantastic food and service 100% we will return in near future we had Sunday lunch and free pudding was amazing 5*****+ staff was really nice and great we are from West Yorkshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

My wife and I visited week beginning 20/11/23/. We visited least year and left a very positive review so had no qualms in returning this year. I had looked at the menus on line before booking including what was titled 'salt cellar new layout' the prices being different to the ones on the actual online menu I assumed the 'New Layout would be the correct pricing. On looking at the menu in the place itself the prices were again different (more expensive) I assumed that the menu is the establishment must have the 20% VAT added on. My wife and I ordered the full and half fish and chips. The portion sizes where good, the chips undercooked and could have done with a few more minuets in the fryer. The fish batter was soggy and dank not light and crisp as it was last year. The side salad was adequate with a very nice tasting dressing on it. When the bill arrived I noticed it was more than the prices on the menu at which point it became clear that the 20% VAT was not already included on the menu price, in my opinion very deceptive given there was no notification on the menu that the prices quoted are not what you will actually pay also that some people on a tight budget could rightly assume that the price advertised is the price you pay. The wine was ridiculously expensive £8.75 for a glass, waiting staff where warm and friendly. Sadly not a place I would revisit.

We arrived and the waiter gave us the menus cards but forgot to give us the drinks cards. We ordered starters only for the waitress to mistake our starters with the table besides us who arrived at least 10 minutes after us. The starters were good, my boyfriend took the Cullen risotto which was quite good so his main was fine ! But I took the fish and chips and was very disappointed. First of all the vegetables (peas and lettuce) weren’t seasoned at all, and the fish was just so greasy that it wasn’t good anymore. My boyfriend is a cook in France so he can guess those things - and it seemed like the frying itself wasn’t that good quality speaking. I don’t really recommend this place, but the woman in charge of the restaurant was really nice and the place itself was quite warm and welcoming.

Worst steak I ever had, at least since I was 18 living on my own cooking my first steak, where you just throw it on a medium heat pan until it turns grey and tastes a bit like liver. But at least then I could say YouTube didn't exist so I had an excuse, the cook there should watch a 5 minute video about the basics on steak cooking. 3 of us got steaks and all overcooked and same experience. I would have told our server but she disappeared once our food arrived. Other dishes were fine and it was cool looking inside, just don't get a steak.

Well first off all the pizza they are probably the only "better" food there. The steak super rubbery the peas tasted fake that came with the steak also the steak reaked off bad smell and tasted like liver, overall just small amounts of food for such big money not the ideal place to come with a family, not comming here again.

Really nice food Prices reasonable Lovely setting

We went here for dinner on our last night of our holidays. Able to get a table no problem as wasn't overly busy when we went but was early and during the time we were there got busier. Service was really good, they did make a mistake with my partners meal but quick to rectify and apologise. Food was lovely and would recommend going there.

Only been a handful of times when visiting Lossiemouth but always had a positive experience and the food is delicious. Will definitely return next time we're in the area.
