Absolutely fantastic as always, both servers were brilliant. Food was outstanding as always. Even although the place was not busy the atmosphere was brilliant. Really enjoyed the flat iron steak it was so tender. Thank you everyone involved

This is a real lovely place, food portions are big, you won't go away still hungry. Also nice atmosphere. Only have one thing to say on our service, it was terrible! It was like we weren't there, we had to ask for everything. They forgot drinks, cutlery, etc, had to ask for our wine 3 times, also there was loads of staff but they didn't work well together! a lot of them were going about with there heads in the sky and not asking you if everything was ok, or if we needed anything. This pub/restaurant could have 5 stars all day long if the waiting staff were to buck there ideas up and wake up.

Messed up our booking resulting in 4 members of the family having to leave as we were told they were full and couldn’t accommodate us. This was despite there being empty tables the whole time we were there which was a long time as took an hour and a half to serve us. Staff unhelpful and rude. Food fine

The most revolting seafood dish I have ever had - Monkfish cheek scampi - fibrous, inedible, vile. Kitchen didn’t even have courtesy to come to the table after the complaint.

Our first visit to the Ship in for a birthday meal. The restaurant has been renovated and looks/feels nice. Unfortunately the outside dining area has yet to be completed (has a retractable roof. Would have been good). The staff were all very attentive and keen to offer service. Very friendly. We all ordered different items from the menu, steak pie, steak, macaroni cheese. Everyone loved their food, large portions and well cooked. We stayed for a few drinks, so had a good few hours at the ship inn. Would recommend it, though the only real negative would be the price, obviously they have a renovation to pay for! Though with today's inflation it could just be like everything nowadays and just naturally expensive! 🖖 3/5 (would have been higher if we had the chance to use the outdoor area, as it was one of the only sunny days this spring / summer)

Nice point within walking distance of the harbour, close to Edinburgh. Cozy pub downstairs that you don't notice anything upstairs. 4 rooms with a shared hall. If someone is calling here in the evening it is a bit noisy. Plumbing is also not great (pipes rustle and shower drain runs poorly), beautiful spacious bathroom. Coffee and tea in the room and the Lidl with fresh rolls (from 8 am) across the street.

Very nice 4 bedroom inn with a public hall.. Almost like at home. Totally personal if you need a family area with few rooms. It's heritage gives a very nostalgic environment and a newly renovated dining with fantastic food, at reasonable price.. Definitely a good place to stay in away from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh City. But close enough to the city center

Sunday lunch. Looked amazing on the plate but unfortunately it was let down by some poor quality beef. All three of our plates got sent back. The manager dealt with it extremely professionally and replaced the beef with some excellent steak cuts from the advertised steak sandwich. The rest of the Sunday lunch was very tasty. Might try again soon

This place is surprisingly excellent. Really nice interior with lots of space. Good selection of food and drink on the menu. Food presentation was on point. We opted for the specials. I went for the lobster risotto and my wife got the fish and chips. I really enjoyed my risotto. Really flavoursome. My wife also loved her fish and chips. The tartar sauce came in a shell which was a nice touch. We also had the ciabatta with chorizo and other cured meats for starters which was lovely. For dessert I got the crumble and my wife got the Eton mess. Both of which were great. Although the crumble wasn’t quite as good as my mum’s from the day before. Service was very good, although we did have to wait quite a while for them to take our dessert order. *Update* We have since been back again. We went on mother’s day so we got the specials. I got the beef and my wife got the chicken. Both of which were great. The meet was tender and delicious. Unfortunately, I thought the Yorkshire pudding was a bit soggy from being drenched in gravy. The potatoes were lovely and crisp, cauliflower cheese was pretty good. I felt the carrots were a bit undercooked as I prefer them a little softer, although I understand this is all subjective. On the side we got pigs in blankets. Our starters and dessert were enjoyable too. We did have to wait a while longer than other guests for our main to arrive but, it is worth noting that a member of staff came and apologised for the delay. We were also unaware that we charged extra for our meal until a member of staff approached and said that she forgot to take the deposit off the bill but she rectified the situation. I think maybe on food alone I would give this joint a 4 but the service is that good that I’ll keep it at a 5.

The ambiance of the place set the stage for what turned out to be an exceptional dining experience. But let's talk about the main event: the roast dinner. The roast was nothing short of spectacular. Each component on the plate was cooked to perfection. The meat, succulent and flavorful, melted in my mouth, indicating the care and expertise that went into its preparation. The vegetables were a revelation - not just an afterthought, but stars in their own right, roasted to bring out their natural sweetness and depth of flavor.

We chose to eat at the Ship Inn with friends because they offered Gluten Free and Vegan menus, and the staff couldn't have been more attentive! They and the chef were very allergy/intolerance aware and were happy to "mix and match" what I could have on the menus. We all had a really great meal and would definitely go again!

Main course was seafood linguine and a steak sandwich, steak was medium as requested and melted in the mouth. Seafood linguine had a good mixture of seafood and the sauce was nice as spicy, as requested and a nicely balanced tomato and cream sauce. Service from Tyler, very welcoming and attentive, nothing was any bother to him. Will come back again
