We had a wonderful dinner in The Ship on The Shore. We were able to book a table on quite short notice and enjoyed excellent sea food and wine for a fair price. Although it was very busy the service was friendly and fast and also the little details like the proper serving of the wine was very good. We will go there again next time we are in Leith.

Had angel oysters £25 and Cullen skink £11 for starters and smoked fish platter £30 and scallops £32… came here as fish foodies and went on reviews but it’s nothing to write home about and worse meal this hoilday in terms of taste… scallops were dry and greasy and mash was dry and tasteless… platter was as it should be, Cullen skink… lacked flavour. Staff were great and food brought quickly even though full…. It wasn’t a bad restaurant just nothing to write home about.

It's a very nice restaurant, our table had the seafood pie, ribeye steak, Shetland mussels and fish and chips for lunch all very nice. The tartare sauce was home made. They have lovely looking platters that we said we'd go back and try as a treat as they're £135 for 2 people. Very nice I wish my batter was a bit more crispy but there's a 20 minutes wait for the fish pie and they of course served us together so it might be due to that.

This was a real highlight of our trip to Edinburgh and an absolute must for seafood lovers. The restaurant has a relaxed, elegant atmosphere and a charming feel that made us feel welcome right away. We ordered the seabass ceviche, seafood linguine, and whole crab — everything was fresh, beautifully cooked, and full of flavour. The crab in particular was a real standout. There's a great wine list with something for everyone, and we ended the meal with excellent coffee and a square of tablet, which was a lovely touch. Service was attentive and friendly from start to finish. We'd go back in a heartbeat.

Service and ambience great- food not so. Had 3 pax dinner. The sea bass fillet, tasty to be sure, but was smaller than the quantity of olives on the plate. Seafood chowder was over salted and mussels very overcooked and were sent back. Oysters were tasty but were so tiny it’s a wonder they were harvested. Will give them another try and hope they do better next time as the service and place are great.

The Ship on the Shore is a relaxed, informal seafood restaurant in the Shore area of Leith; it’s on our doorstep, so we can be forgiven for visiting twice in as many weeks. Our second visit was at Hogmanay with a friend and the restaurant was full, with many diners elegantly dressed for the occasion and something of a party atmosphere. Fortunately, we had booked weeks in advance. The food was outstanding - I ordered the special: tarragon butter lobster tail topped with red caviar, vegetables, and a romanesco and champagne porcini sauce. It was so good, I could have licked the last remaining dribbles of sauce off the plate! My partner had the traditional haddock and chips, and our friend chose the monkfish tail in a Thai curry sauce. The service was friendly and attentive, the food delicious, and the prices very reasonable. For anyone visiting Edinburgh, the Shore area in the Port of Leith, is Edinburgh’s ‘foodie’ quarter with many fine restaurants, including fish restaurants: the Ship on the Shore is definitely one of the restaurants that is not to be missed.

Excellent restaurant with fish-based menu located near the sea. Nice location and nice room, simple but elegant. A menu with different dishes, but not too many as it should be, from seafood platters onwards. The choice of wines is also excellent and the cocktails are highly recommended, very good at mixing. Medium-high prices, in line with the place and the menu.

I did not like the restaurant very much, to be honest, and most of the menu is cold (icy) food, which means you order shrimp and they bring it to you on a plate with ice. There is very little cooked food, or more accurately, hot food on the menu. (It is important that you inform them about the alcohol issue. Almost all of the menu is cooked with alcohol except for some items upon request) My order He was: Smokey Seafood Soup 4/10 There is nothing special about it 2/10 SHIP'S HOT SHELLFISH PLATTER The food was cold and the serving plates were hot. Drinks: Sprite Moya The account is approximately 750SR

Weirdly you cannot book online; instead you message a request, get a confirmation, and then ring to pay a deposit and confirm you aren’t bringing children. That made our evening experience more odd because there were several children at another table who were allowed to go in and out of the restaurant getting in the way of the staff and adding to the drafts. All started well but fell apart as the service became erratic; it would have been nice to have been offered more drinks and coffee but everyone vanished. Paying took time and effort! The food was good (perhaps we should have had a platter) but the whole experience wasn’t good enough to make us rush back.

If you're looking for a midrange seafood dinner, especially as a tourist, this is a perfectly acceptable choice. It's got all the things most people look for in a seafood restaurant. Mariner-themed motif, seafood platters, a good location close to the water, and busy. We came here on our last night and had a fine experience. It wasn't particularly memorable, but it was pretty much exactly as expected. The server was a little odd, as she basically abandoned our table when she realized we weren't drinking. The rest of the meal was taken care of by (who I assume was) the manager. A bit strange, but it made no difference to us really. Cullen Skink was better than other places we tried. A hearty, hot chowder with loads of fish, flavour, and cream. I got the hot seafood platter mostly for the promise of langoustines, scallops, and clams. What we ended up with was a giant plate of mussels with a few other bits and bobs on top. I don't recall seeing a single clam. 4 scallops. 2 small oysters. 3 langoustines. Some crab, yes. If there was a whole lobster--as the menu claims--half of it must have been invisible. I actually don't remember much lobster at all but my partner does so some must have been there, although the photo taken right after the platter arrived doesn't show much. To me, it seemed like just a heaping pile of mussels and potatoes. It wasn't the freshest tasting seafood I've ever had, which I thought was a bit odd considering Leith is so close to the sea. But it was cooked and prepared well, with good flavour otherwise. It was unfortunate that the price was so high (£135) for so little. Unless you really love mussels (which I really do not), it probably won't be particularly good value. There were two of us, and we both got tired of so many mussels and couldn't finish it. Seems like a waste of money and food, sadly. So, a very acceptable seafood spot for a once off, but not one that I would make a special trip for.

The Ship has a fantastic reputation & great standards a good hospitality venue . With this being said really disappointed as last night I took my mum out for a special dinner. The quality of the food and service wasn’t up to standers at all, not sure if it was the restaurant manager but one of the staff members was rather rude to me and my mum which isn’t a nice experience for anyone. Unfortunately the food wasn’t that good as well no seasoning tasted bland very disappointing. I have been to the ship meany time and I can only say good things about the food. I am not one for leaving reviews. But working in hospitality myself, I know feedback is very important. Perhaps last night was just an off day. Thank you.

The Seafood Restaurant in Leith is very special and you discover it as soon as you enter. The furnishings are reminiscent of ships (even the bathroom 🙂) and every single part is taken care of. The environment is very clean. The proposed fish menu includes numerous dishes, from the most classic Fish and Chips to huge plates of raw fish (which have their cost). The portions of the dishes are very generous. The fresh and very good fish makes it a restaurant that is not cheap but not too expensive. Very positive experience!

A family member booked this table for us as we were honeymooning in Edinburgh. The seafood was amazing. We had bread and olives for the table. Our starter consisted of oysters and the dressed crab. For the main we opted for the hot seafood platter which was delectable. We decided against dessert given that the hot platter was plentiful. The service at dinner was ok. However, when we mentioned that it was our honeymoon I felt like the servers were indifferent about this and were very much there to bring food and clear the table. After our meal we did have a nice conversation with the barman Dominic, and my husband tried a very expensive bottle of cognac, which was an experience and resulted in a great memory.

We booked a table for our 29th wedding anniversary over 2 months ago based on a family recommendation. When we arrived we were about to be shown to our table when the (possible manager) interjected and told the waitress where to seat us. We were then led to a small table, right next to the bar, with the bar hatch right beside us, where drinks were being collected from. Despite the restaurant being less than half full, when we asked for a different table, we were told the one we asked to move to wasn't free and we were offered another table, hemmed in by several noisy tables. The manager was indifferent to our decision to leave. Would not recommend this kind of welcome to anyone.

The royal paella was amazing 10/10, only shame was the service, they give an option for service charge at the end, I declined it and heard them discussing about it and pulling faces. And even refusing to say goodbye when leaving very disappointing service, we even had to pack our own food and ask for water multiple times before we were given a jug. Very unprofessional as they already get paid to be a waiter ... However, do go and try their paella. The chefs are top-notch.

Reposting my dining experience in April 2023, I ordered this seafood platter. The plump oysters, tender sashimi, and plump scallops brought the most original flavor of the ocean, accompanied by fresh mussels, clams and various Shellfish, full of natural flavor. The mayonnaise in the center adds a rich texture to the whole, balancing out the deliciousness of the seafood. The lemon on the plate is not only bright in color, but also provides diners with a sour and refreshing garnish. The fish is golden and crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside, making every bite unforgettable. This platter perfectly showcases the freshness of the ingredients and the skill of the chef, making it a rare seafood experience.

Stumbled up on this place on a Thursday night with my boyfriend as we were walking around Leith and it was a happy coincidence. We had no reservation and it was super busy but they managed to squeeze us in. The staff were friendly and attentive. They have quite the menu with so many delicious dishes but we ended up going for the Fruits de Mer Sharing Platter and wow, so fresh! The Shetland Mussels, Scottish Smoked Salmon & Mackerel were my personal favourites. The Loch Creran Oysters too but personally I felt like it was missing a little dressing of some sort. Maybe a chili and ginger dressing just to enhance the flavour but it was still good regardless. Overall, we had a lovely experience and I will definitely be back with my seafood lover friends and family for a visit. I highly recommend this restaurant and will make sure to book in advance just in case.

Nous y sommes allés le midi après la visite du Britannia. Nous avons pris le plateau de fruits de mer royale qui chose rare en Écosse est servi froid et s’apparente à nos plateaux de fruits de mer. Nous nous sommes régalés. Huîtres, moules et praires cuites mais froides, coquilles St jacques froides fumées, haddock - saumon - bar et maquereau fumés, crabe avec ses pinces et un homard entier froid. Copieux pour 2 et vraiment savoureux. En outre, un très bon rapport qualité-prix. Un très bon moment avec un service agréable. A noter qu’autour de nous les moules’ soles, bars et fish and ships qui sont passés étaient magnifiques et copieux avec des convives qui semblaient tous se régaler.

Great restaurant. Nicely decorated and the service is top notch. Food is also very fresh and the price is normal. Definitely recommend this. We happened to be lucky, but I would definitely recommend booking in advance.

Last meal here for my birthday weekend, really disappointed thought I would save the best for last but definitely wasn't. Staff were rude not welcoming at all ordered the surf and turf for the price they are charging I would of expected more than a little meat in my lobster I literally had the bit at the end of the tail the rest was empty. Steak was perfect as was garlic butter. My partners meal was nice.

Make reservations - it's worth it. Our hotel concierge recommended this great restaurant when we wanted great seafood. The staff was great. The food was fantastic, great portions!

Reasonably good seafood, though both quality and volume in little relation to the price. Smoked salmon in particular froze on the plate, with frozen sinews taking away from taste. We had a great seat but the experience was dampened by strange behaviour from the American waitress, first treating us as if we were crazy for asking to try the wine before getting a bottle (her recommendations were also uninformed). After that interaction she proceeded to huffily walk away every time she came to the table, seemingly deliberately overhearing addt'l questions and request. Not the kind of service experience one would expect from that kind of background.

The location is outstanding. The food is mediocre at a horrendous price. This is not what one would recommend. We're not going back there, and as I understand from friends, they're not doing so either. Go to Carlton Hill, take in the view, and then eat somewhere nice....

Our experience at this restaurant was mediocre. The food tasted like something had left the pan a while ago, which was very unfortunate.. Staff promptly provided us with the bill when we mentioned that we didn’t want the dessert menu. The overall service felt rushed, as they were serving a lot of customers simultaneously.

I love going for the set price lunch. It’s great value and just the right portion size for lunch. Dinner is also great. The wine list is varied and good value also. The staff are very friendly and always make time to chat even although they are busy. I particularly like the Tiger Cry starter of beef salad. Super spicy. It’s great.

Wow wow wow! Ondine at Seaton House was the most fabulous experience. Firstly the setting, sea views in a beautifully decorated room. It’s comfortable, sophisticated but super welcoming as well. The food is Roy Brett’s usual perfection. We enjoyed a range of seafood and beef all cooked and presented beautifully. Finally, the staff are charming and super professional. Shout out to Craig and Roy for looking after us so well. Most definitely worth the trip north to St Andrews. And look forward to coming back soon.
