Food, service & location 10/10 We have friends over from Oz so decided to bring them over to St Andrews from Edinburgh to eat here as we have always had fantastic experiences. Today we had the lunch menu which at £45 for 2 courses or £50 for 3 is exceptional value for the standard of meal. Everything was absolutely delicious. Great staff who couldn’t have been more helpful & professional. Would highly recommend. The view is not too shabby either!…. Thanks Mr P & Team

Just home after lunch at this beautiful restaurant. It was our wedding anniversary. The meal was first class. So fresh, excellent presentation and delicious flavours. We have been on several occasions and each time is even better. Staff are so professional and friendly. Thank you so much.

A dear friend, staying with us for a couple of nights treated my wife and myself to lunch. It was exceptional. My wife and I had crab risotto and halibut, our friend had oysters and sea trout - we all agreed that the service, the food, the presentation and the ambience was nothing short of spectacular. It was a beautiful day and our table by the window offered us the best view over the sands towards Tentsmuir. We would return in a heartbeat, our thanks to all for making our visit such a memorable one.

What a great restaurant this is with impeccable smiling staff both professional and charming. The food is clever with beautiful small simply cooked quality high end portions of fish finished with clever sauces to make the real taste difference. Everything tasted delicious and with Andy and the team expertly working the room in a gleaming spotless restaurant it was one of the best meals money can buy. There is no doubt it’s expensive but worth it.

Sometimes when a restaurant has a magnificent view the food can end up coming second, not here, the food is that wonderful it keeps up with the breathtaking view. They are celebrating 20 years and I can see how they have got to that great milestone! You’re greeted with a big smile as soon as you arrive, are taken to your table and the first thing you notice is that enviable view, it just doesn’t get old as the evening comes to an end. The selection of dishes I was impressed with, there were several times I was fighting my brain on what to pick, I ended up with the Lobster Raviolo, followed by the Halibut and finished with the Tahitian ice cream. Each course was magnificent, the sauce with the Halibut is still on my mind, brilliant. I would encourage to try the tattie scones along with the beautiful oysters as a few snacks before your meal, the tattie scones were possibly the best I’ve ever had, really enjoyed them. I would definitely recommend a visit to this stunning restaurant, the view, food and very friendly service ticked all the boxes for me, I’d happily revisit when I’m next in the area. Thank you to all the lovely staff who helped make the meal an absolute joy!

From the moment I walked in, The Seafood Ristorante impressed with its sleek design and warm welcome. Stunning sea views set the scene for the best seafood dishes I've had. Every course was a delight, paired with attentive, knowledgeable service. Easly the best dining experience in St Andrews. Can't wait to return.

If you want to treat yourself to some fine food and drinks this is the place to go. Don't pay attention to bad reviews to do with the money-if you can't afford beautiful location, professional staff and fresh amazing super tasty food in a great atmosphere-stop complaining and visit McDonalds instead. 5 stars from us, we had a great night, enjoyed the food and drinks, nice chat with the staff and amazing view, overlooking the beach just at sunset. Worth every penny. Thank you!

The seafood was simply excellent. Great cooking and inventive recipes. Service was also exemplary. Atmosphere is ok as it's a modern echoey building so noise levels increase with more diners but the views are great as it sits right at the waterfront. Not cheap but a really good experience.

This was our first visit to the Seafood Ristorante and it won't be our last. The service was second to none, the food was easily up with the best me and my wife have ever had and to be honest given all that, the value was outstanding. If you want some of the finest seasonal seafood, cooked to perfection by the sea, then go to the Seafood Ristorante in St Andrews.

Absolutely amazing. The setting is brilliant and it is very atmospheric being right on the water. The staff were all very friendly and efficient, and the food was some of the best I've eaten in a long time. A little pricy, but that's to be expected, and given the quality it's actually fairly reasonable, especially using an itison voucher. Given the standard they're going for, I'll leave a little constructive criticism, but this is all very minor stuff that in no way detracts from the overall experience, and I'd highly recommend this restaurant to anyone: - The butter was a little hard and could have been warmed a bit more. - The cod was slightly overdone and chewy. - The beef tartare was great, but I was surprised to be charged a supplement for it when the bill came. It's fine to do so, but I hadn't been aware that there would be an extra cost. I may have overlooked a note explaining this, but in any case it could be clearer. Otherwise, 10/10. Will be back.

We went as a group of 4 was swiftly greeted and our coats taken, taken to our table and asked if we wanted still or sparkling water. We ordered our starters and received them very promptly within 7 minutes i got the tuna tartare and it was easily the best thing we got all night 10/10. We then went on to order our mains. I got the steamed halibut it was very delicious a tiny bit rich for my taste so i give it a 9/10. Then onto dessert i ordered the tiramisu i get tiramisu whenever i see it on a menu and unfortunately it was probably the worst one i have ever tried but that is my personal taste as i am not a big fan of rich strong chocolate flavours and it was immensely rich 2/10. A great experience the atmosphere is amazing, the staff are very professional and friendly at the same tim. Will definitely be back soon. 😊

The restaurant itself has a beautiful location by the sea, and I imagine is a very romantic date night spot. We saw the high recommendations, and decided to stop here for a late lunch. Staff seemed annoyed that we didn’t have a reservation, and overall service was quite slow. The food is presented well and tasted good, but not so good that it justified the price tag. Portions are small. Despite being lunch time we were only provided the dinner menu and its associated surcharge. Maybe you’re paying for the view? The best thing I ordered was the caviar. I would consider dining again to give it another chance, but wouldn’t recommend to others based on our first experience.

We have had some good meals around St Andrews but this was a most fabulously pleasant surprise. Great oysters and a high quality Margarita got us off to a great start.

We reserved here to celebrate a family members birthday and the seafood was fantastic. We ordered the halibut, the turbot, and sea bass. Our son got tomato soup and bread and butter. The turbot and sauce were the highlight and both sea bass and halibut were very good. We recommend this place for a special celebration, a special outing. The view of the water is amazing with floor to ceiling windows and the staff were all very kind.

Been coming here many times on and off over the years and had a superb meal last night during graduation week. It’s the best place in this town and whilst the menu isn’t big the food really is excellent and whilst priced as if it’s a London restaurant it is worth coming. Many of the other restaurants here are increasingly steak oriented and have jacked prices up ridiculously since the pandemic - but guess that’s aiming for the American golf tourists who seem happy. The wine list here is reassuring punchy and we have had a couple of duffs but last night we enjoyed a decent ribolla gialla which I’d recommend. As well as here at the other end of the scale Tailend has always been decent!

Lovely gastronomic experience, during a romantic weekend in St. Andrews. The restaurant has a great location with a breathtaking view, better to enjoy it with sunlight. We had a warmly and attentive welcoming. We started with two glasses of Pol Roger and fresh oyster. Starters: Salmon scallops, both very good, to highlight the tattie scones served with the salmon. Beam and Halibut for mains, sauce was complementing good, maybe a bit too strong the oyster sauce with the halibut. Bread and butter were very tasty. A paluse for not asking the allergies at the beginning of the dinner, as they were communicated when we booked, and they had been checked at the right time, with the dessert. Very professional way to handle with it. The best of the dinner was, surprisingly, the desserts. We had the mille feuile and Vanilla Ice Cream, both incredible, generous in flavours and impeccable presented. For the wine we put ourselves in Luca’s hand, the expert and passionate Italian sommelier. He recommended a bottle of Jurancon sec, rich, creamy and fruit forward, a good option to complement the whole meal. All the staff was amazing, special mention to Luca that made our night special, to the maitre/restaurant manager for his politeness and Lilly for her service. Overall it was a great experience, food price are according to the place and to the quality of the products. The wine list is very good, lots of choice and for all the taste and prices, from classic to innovative offers. Very valuable price for the Pol Roger by the glass, and the rest of the prices are according to the level of the restaurant. Please, let Luca guides you with the choice of the wine, he will make the experience. Service is attentive, warm, friendly and professional. Just two suggestions for improving the experience: alongside with the bread, one small amouse bouche would be lovely, even if the portions of the courses are perfect or even generous; a slightly more detailed food explanation and the way to enjoy some elaborate courses would take the service to the next level. Definitely, we'd love to come back!

Excellent ... and remarkable value! The sea front location is dramatic. You can watch the chefs prepare the food and/or watch the waves crash. The staff are skilled, helpful and very attentive. The food is excellent. The value of the Seasonal Lunch Menu is amazing for this quality. The wine list is extensive and its lower end is surprisingly good. We were 6 for lunch - a bit of a get-together. Most of us had the 3 course special for £40. It was a mix of fish, seafood and meat - limited choices but enough to match perfectly. We added 4 side orders (£6 ea), 2 of green beans and 2 of excellent potatoes. Plenty to eat all round. We had 2 bottles of Sicilian Grillo white and one of Sicilian Nero d'Avola (all £32 each and fine quality) and a sparkling water for the poor driver. I tried the cheese board (only the same price per course as a dessert, which is unusual). A Spanish brown looking blue cheese. It didn't suit me as it was too strong but that's just a matter of taste. 12.5% service charge added as standard. One of the best (and best value) meals we have had in a long time. Shame we live so far away.

First time here. Excellent visit for lunch. Went for my mums 70th. Views to die for, beautiful setting. Everyone had different dishes ranging from the set lunch menu to a la carte. Everything was excellent. From the fresh and hot homemade bread served to table to the moorish chocolate with coffee and the wonderful seafood and fowl for the meals in between. It was all top notch. All served by a group of very well trained, helpful and smiling group of staff who were always on hand whenever needed, and gave you enough time so you didn’t feel rushed. Yes it is pricey here. But that pays for an incredible setting, top food and great staff. You get what you pay for here. My mum told us it was her new favourite restaurant in the region. And being a French cook, that is certainly high praise! We will be back one day.

We recently visited on a Thursday evening, the location and setting is beautiful, the weather was not the best so missed out on the full experience, but I can imagine in summer the views are truly spectacular. The setting is close to the centre of St Andrews and the Old Course, right on the beach! Upon arrival the greeting was warm and the doors opened for us, follwoed by taking our coats and getting us settled in the sea facing table. The restaurant is essentially a giant glass box with an open kitchen, so it's a pleasant space for sure. The somilier was first to our table presenting the wine list and taking an order for cocktails to get us started. We then had the menus presented to us and explained. The restaurant offers a 2 or 3 course set menu at fixed prices of £85 for 2 courses and £98 for 3 courses, so of course on the higher end of dinning options. After being presented with some warm bread and butters, we made our selections of: Antonios Oscietra Caviar (30g) Sour cream, tattie scones (Extra cost) Raviolo of Anstruther Lobster Hand Dived Orkney Scallops Steamed Day Boat Halibut John Dory Three Cheese Selection All of the food was deliciuous, beautifully presneted and nicely spaced out. The service was exceptional and attentive, we opted for a bottle of the NZ Sauv Blanc which was great, we also had a dessert wine and port, they didnt have stock of one of our choices but the wine waiter was over in a flash with several recomendations and found us an alterntive which was great. The restaurant manager attended our table following our main course and ensured everything was as it should be and made polite conversation. The restuarnt was nearly empty on our arrival at 6pm, however, the place was packed out by 7pm so booking is essential! I'd highly recomend this restauarnt if visiting St Andrews and you'd like a special treat!

I hadn’t been to the The Seafood Ristorante for many years in fact , long before the current owner Stefano Pieracinni bought the restaurant and transformed it into a superb ‘seafood restaurant with an Italian influence’ . The Pieracinnis have an impeccable record in hospitality and as a group of friends who’d recently been on a 3 day tour of London’s most regarded eateries - we all felt that this was by far better . Wonderful atmosphere , truly outstanding cuisine - oysters , smoked salmon with incredible tattle scones , halibut and monkfish to die for and one of the best cheeseboards ever and so well explained by superb waiter . Wonderful Luca the Sommelier really did help us with the best choice of champagne and white wine and we recognised him from top Edinburgh restaurants and he now commutes due to his love of The Seafood Ristorante . Stefano ( the boss ) was so welcoming .. to EVERYONE and whilst looking like a film star worked all of the tables discretely , efficiently and great aplomb . My favourite London restaurant is Daphnes and the Seafood Ristorante is right up there . If you’re discerning and a regular restaurant goer - you must go & Ive already booked ( coming from Aberdeen !) to go back in a fortnight … seriously , 10/10 .

This was a contradictory experience. In general the service and food was outstanding, however my partner had lamb chops (yup, she doesn't like fish and it was a gift for me). The dish arrived and the chops were raw, pink on outside. There was no sear. We asked the female Waitress to have them cooked more. She said I'll get the chef to give them a sear. My partner asked at this point to have them cooked well done (not most people's choice but her choice). The dish was taken away and returned 2 minutes later still extremely rare, obviously having been pressed onto the grill and removed immediately. The chef obviously likes rare lamb but HE WASN'T PAYING! She was too embarrassed to send the dish back again. Tbf the wine waiter arranged for our 2 glasses of wine to be free as an apology. He was lovely and extremely informative. Obviously a high class seafood restaurant but please don't impose your taste onto the paying customer chefs.

I cannot say enough about our meal. Every bite of every dish on every course we nothing short of perfect. Top 3 meal that I have ever had, ever.

My recent experience at this high-end restaurant left me utterly disappointed. The staff’s attitude was consistently rude throughout my visit. They wore perpetual scowls and made me feel like an inconvenience. To top it off, the manager’s tone when I asked for directions to the restroom was downright disrespectful. And when I mistakenly tried to pull a door with handles instead of pushing it, the manager’s condescending behavior was the last straw. This place not only lacks basic courtesy but also fails to understand the concept of customer service. Such behavior is inexcusable for an establishment of this caliber. I strongly recommend avoiding this restaurant until they address their severe customer service issues.

All of our seafood was perfectly prepared, delicious and innovative but simple at the same time. Wine list was excellent. Ambiance was beautiful as well.

Few restaurants have good views and amazing food. This is one of the few. The lobster ravioli was one of my top ten meals ever.

Stopped for lunch while driving from Edinburgh to Ballater (yes, not exactly on the way but we had time). Everything was excellent and most importantly the food. While this is a seafood restaurant, the lamb was the best. Good wine by glass selection.

Absolutely wonderful meal at the Seafood Ristorante in St Andrew’s. Amazing views of the shore and lovely attentive staff but those were second only to some of the best food I’ve ever been lucky enough to enjoy. Had the scallops then the turbot and they were perfection on a plate!

We had high expectations and the restaurant delivered. Our large group was welcomed into a semi-private area and were treated to excellent service and food throughout the evening. Lobster ravioli was a generous portion served in a tasty bisque-like sauce. Scallop starter offered three large...
