West Port Bar & Kitchen in Fife

We had a lovely night in The Saint on Saturday night. Adele and all the staff were brilliant and the food lovely, thanks! x

As January is very quiet and such a long month, I decided to go out solo for a meal and treat myself. I visited The Saint and it was quite quiet which was nice as it meant I could relax. I ordered the soup to start which was Lentil, it came with some soft fresh bread and butter - great tasty starter. Then for the main I had mini mac and cheese and chips, I do wish I’d got the bigger portion as it was very good! But , it made room for dessert. I had the sticky toffee pudding and ice cream, so tasty and a lovely dessert to finish a beautiful meal. The service was also very good, all staff friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Since discovering The Saint , it has become a favourite and I always look forward to the next visit! A lovely January solo visit.

Excellent service and food. Visited tonight for friend’s birthday . We both had steak and cooked perfectly. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff

The Cullen skink is the best I’ve ever tried - been back several times and it hasn’t disappointed 😋 Also had the mushroom risotto- good portions and delicious 😋 Friendly service by Steven - would definitely recommend The Saint 😇 for eating in St Andrews 👍🏻

Girls night out with my bestie. Delicious food & attentive service. I’ve never had a bad meal here. Always first class. Thank you.

Visited with friends over the festive period. Despite not having a table booked the staff were very welcoming and got us a lovely table in the restaurant area. The place was packed with other diners but service was great as was the food - the highlight of the day was the cullen skink and steak ciabatta. A couple of cocktails to finish off were also very tasty. We all thought the prices were very reasonable and this will be our new go to place when we are next in area.

Food was excellent However staff serving food with long hair not tied back At one point had to ask waitress to take her hair out of the food she was serving She then tied it back

This year my family decided to go out on Christmas Eve to celebrate Christmas. We had a wonderful time, the food was amazing, service and staff exceptional. We wanted to say thank you to all staff as we really had a great time!

'Megan', who worked at the entrance, told us that there were no seats available, without any explanation, even though there were many vacant seats, and we were not allowed in. I left the shop and made a reservation on onlinetable within 1 minute and of course we went in. We were excluded like a joke and the manager came and explained the situation. St Andrew's is our first visit. In short, the food is very delicious, the service is very slow, the female manager is smiling and foreigners cannot enter! I wonder?? thanks.

Absolutely loved my experience at The Saint Bar and Kitchen in St Andrews! The atmosphere is a cozy, classic inn. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The food was exceptional — beautifully presented and full of flavour, with a great selection of local ingredients. Highly recommend the cocktails as well! A fantastic spot for both casual drinks and hearty Scottish food. Will definitely be returning!

I visited while doing some Christmas shopping in St Andrews. The soup of the day was Butternut Squash which was very tasty and very well presented. There were 3 members of staff serving, Gee, Adele and Steven - all very festive and friendly, nothing was too much, and it was quite busy. For my main I went for the Chicken Burger which was succulent and very tasty. I also had a cup of tea which came with a piece of tablet - a real sweet treat. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and can’t wait to return in the new year. Merry Christmas to all at The Saint.

Freezing outside so looking in , the place looks warm and inviting so gave it a go . Very pleasant staff , a whole array of foods to choose from. Had the haggis as starter no pic for that . Devoured well ..Great taste.Two starters and the two mains pulse two beers £56. Would I go again, absolutely..give it a go.

Excellent service, staff lovely and friendly. Delicious food, served lovely and hot. Definitely value for money. I would highly recommend.

Breakfast with Santa Sunday 01.12.24 Breakfast came with a hair on the plate Lipstick around the water glasses at the table No what we expected on a special day !

Always look forward to a visit to The Saint. Good beers on tap and lovely cocktails. 👍

We had dinner last night for my friends birthday. I had the buffalo chicken burger which was extremely spicy and not very appetising with over cooked chips. My friend had a streak sandwich with very little steak. Very disappointed as I have had lunch a few times and the food has been great.

Visited a few times for lunch and particularly on a Sunday for their roast. A real cosy environment with fantastic food.

The Saint was a nice surprise meal overall. The atmosphere was more unique and a step up from the more traditional pubs in town. The menu was a nice mix of options that included modern fare and some traditional Scottish options. The food was excellent. Unfortunately, the service was good initially, but once the restaurant got busy, you could tell they were severely understaffed. That said, the staff was working hard and doing what they could. We skipped dessert and after-dinner drinks due to the delays, and we noticed other patrons walking up to get the manager's attention. Hopefully, they will get this worked out because, overall, it was a good restaurant. We will try them again when we return.

Poor effort, like a hotel from 50 Years ago

Me and my family visited this weekend for birthday celebrations and had a great experience. The food was lovely and well priced matched. As for the staff they were all very friendly and polite and were great at checking on our table when appropriate, especially the young waiter named Finlay. 10/10 service, would come back again.

Dog friendly bar/restaurant in St Andrews. Not cheap but nothing is in this Uni town. Decent food - I had the chipotle lime corn ribs starter which was ok but not wowzer followed by rump of lamb - again ok not amazing. My wife had the steak pie and chips which made me very jealous - it was superb ( I was informed ). Very plelasant staff and good atmosphere. Beer looked good but I was designated driver - sob!!

Lovely restaurant, lovely menu well cooked tasty food! Very expensive and we waited ages to have our food brought to us! We had to ask several times if our main meals we're ready, we had our small grandson with us who had gotten his main meal when we had our starters so he was getting bored! After the waitress brought our mains all she said was sorry for your 'small wait' our table was booked for 6pm and our mains were not served until well after 7.15 so no I would not class this as a 'small wait' thankyou

Great place for food and drink, good atmosphere, pleasant staff and definitely one of our favourite places. Give it a try!

Friendly staff, great service and great food.

Went in here for lunch, wow! I had a bacon and cheese burger with chips, it was delicious, good price for St Andrews. The service was great, will go back here.

The food was decent on the most part, overpriced but tasty enough however the service was abysmal. Staff couldnt even remember a full drink order and we had to keep asking for basic items like cutlery.

30+ friends and family had a pre-wedding diner and post wedding breakfast at the Saint. Adele and her staff could not have been more accommodating with changing food orders and numbers attending varying last minute- nothing was ever too much trouble and the food and service was excellent on both occasions

My wife, two children both under 10 and I had a lovely meal at the Saint this week. The service was prompt, patient and friendly (thanks Andrew). The food was excellent for the price-point and the surroundings pleasant to sit in. As my 6 year old said, 10 out of 10.

We went here for lunch. The food was very good, and the background music was a great mix of 70s music.

Breakfast was lovely and the staff were too and very welcoming

First time visiting. The restaurant was very comfortable and the staff was friendly and quick. The food was good however the lettuce in the Ceasar salad was very soggy. It would have tasted much better if the lettuce was crispy. Appears to be a very family friendly restaurant as we noticed there were a couple of families with young children there.

Staff were lovely and helpful. Food was delicious, even though couldn't eat all of it because the portions were huge! Would recommend

I came in today for lunch with my wife we ordered the haggis bonbons which were alright. I ordered the fish.I have been at the saint many times over the years and have never had fish served like this. It to me didn't taste like fresh st monans fish it was overcooked as were the chips. It looked like this was frozen beer battered fish.and frozen chips Not to the high standard which we usually have.

Had an amazing first time experience tonight Food was out of this world But a HUGE shout out goes to Eilidh our very efficient waitress She deserves 5stars all the way Thank you for making our memories in St Andrews xx

Came here for a drink with friends it was very busy as there was a quizz night on. The lovely member of staff found us a table and he was so friendly and helpful. Love the Saint

Had dinner here. Table service was good. Meals came out in a reasonable time. Had to track down the waiter for a bill. This has been our experience in Scotland.

Food was really good. Perhaps a bit too much salt used when frying. Service was excellent the waiters were really friendly and attentive The big let down was being told after we had ordered that table had to be cleared for 6.30 pm. This wasn’t mentioned at booking or ordering so we felt we had to rush and never ordered dessert as a resukt

Had a crackin wee pint and a few cocktails. Served by Gregor and he was phenomenal. The boy deserves a pay rise asap. Will be coming back.

Lovely staff, cocktails and food. Excellent location in the centre of St Andrews.

Had some drinks and some small plates, was served by Ray who was absolutely amazing! He gave great recommendations, and made an unreal french martini. Couldn’t have had a better experience. Ray was welcoming and friendly which made the experience just that much better. Would highly recommend The Saint for casual drinks, especially if Ray is on the bar.

Had a wonderful meal there with my mother. We both had the Seabass and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Coffee was excellent too as was the lovely shortbread that came with it. Will definitely return. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Lovely atmosphere, great staff and the food was excellent. The Seabass was cooked to absolute perfection. Highly recommended.

Back at a family favorite, The Saint never disappoints! Tonight we enjoyed brilliantly delicious cocktails & dinner. The service is excellent as well. Grace, our server tonight, was so lovely & friendly and made menu recommendations that exceeded expectations. If you have the good fortune to visit St. Andrews, a meal at The Saint is a must! Thank you Grace! Hope to see you again soon!

My wife and I did not stay here, but we did eat here several times while staying in St Andrews. The menu has many choices with Table service, and the staff are friendly and seem to have a lot of local Knowledge about places to visit in the area. The pub also has a large garden. They do get very busy on a Saturday evening, so its advisable to book in advance if you want to visit on a Saturday evening. I would recommend this Pub.

Friendly welcome , excellent service , great product range with a great atmosphere....book early as it gets very busy.

Lovely fish and chips, staff were friendly and attentive Xxx

The Sunday toast was truly mediocre, the starters were supermarket quality, in particular the beetroot option with lukewarm goats cheese. The burger meat was very chewy and not very well cooked but worst of all was the risotto which tasted like a mixture of porridge, gruel and vegetarian haggis though without any spice- work house Dickens style - actually almost not edible- the beer was warm and it was very expensive 100 pounds for three for very mediocre food.

Great hotel and staff food is amazing and service with a smile lovey lively bar area

Absolutely fantastic meal. The sea bass was amazing! Great portions. Well worth a visit. Dog friendly and staff are lovely, also has a beer garden.

Food very good service slow. Was unaware that dogs lying in passages sorry but will not return for food. Found unhygienic eating bones,while trying to eat our own food

Saturday lunch for two. Didn’t have a booking and no problem getting a table. Good staff and really good atmosphere. The food was a bonus. Not sure what was expecting but great menu and good prices…. Bubble & squeak and hallumi for starters followed by an excellent fish and chips with croque monsieur. Defo be back .

I would implore anyone with taste to dine in this fine establishment. The burger was so succulently moist consistently from edge to the middle il probably have a steak next time. 5 stars +

Called here for Sunday lunch with friends and enjoyed the slightly unusual atmosphere with nooks and crannies everywhere and several different rooms. The service was prompt and efficient and the menu offered a wide (though not extensive) range of options. The food was good although my main course was warm rather than hot. The location at the west end of South Street is central but only really accessible on foot with limited parking some way off. I liked the feel of the place, but I'm not sure that I would choose to make it a regular haunt.

Nice place with a great beer garden, however very limited tables and set up for the amount of space which was frustrating for people wanting to eat food as two people were blocking tables of 4. Food itself was good. Service was poor, staff didn't really seem to care and just wanted you to do everything yourself such as get cutlery, order using a QR code which only showed half the menu etc. This place could be 5* with abit more effort.

I enjoyed a nice family lunch at The Saint, where I had the delicious Cullen skink.

The decor was lovely, the food.. I had the lamb.. Was delicious, what there was if of it, surprising small portion for £28?!.. And some of the staff helpful and cheery, some others really weren't, the girl who was suppose to be at the till area, really was quite blank, walked past us twice while we stood waiting to pay.. We even said... But still blanked us.

Have visited the Saint several times before. However our visit tonight (21/6/24) was very disappointing, Had booked in advance to use a voucher my husband had been given for Father’s Day. We were shown to what I would describe as the worse table in the place. We asked if we could have a different table to be told it was the only table for two available. My husband who is 6’ 2” squeezed himself into the tiny alcove with immovable chairs. We ordered drinks and water then shortly afterwards ordered our food. First course arrived, which was a sharing plate, no side plates supplied, and still no drinks had arrived, so had to attract a servers attention (which wasn’t easy) to ask for our drinks again. While waiting we saw that two people had been to shown to one of the bunquette seats at the window that can seat six. The food when it arrived was good. My husband asked for a second pint, but before it arrived we had finished our food and decided to pay our bill and leave. Whilst we were advised by one of the servers that the restaurant was very busy and they were short staffed this is a management issue and should not impact on the customer. Very very disappointing, and think it will be a long time before we are back.

Been often but our visit yesterday was terrible the service and customer care was not up to the usual standards . I replied to your request via the email which was sent to you with a full description of the bad service 2 weeks ago No reply or response?!

We decided to stop by for dinner and to catch the Euro game. We started with garlic bread, followed by the rump of lamb along with the steak & mushroom pie… everything was absolutely delicious! The staff were great and made sure we could enjoy the football game in the bunker downstairs. Plus, the restaurant is equipped for disabled access and is dog-friendly! Would 100% recommend this place.

Really good food - perfectly cooked chips and very tasty, unique chicken burgers. Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff. Overall, really nice place.

We enjoyed the moment, but the quantities were small (especially the fish) and the quality just OK. We did not stay for desserts therefore.

Staff and food excellent!! So kind, friendly, and welcoming. They made my graduation dinner extra special, provided a card and congratulations, and service was impeccable. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back the next time we’re in St Andrews!

We had a graduation meal here on 14th of June, there was a large number of us and we couldn’t fault the staff and food, they were great. Would recommend to anyone and will hopefully be back sometime in the future!

Very enjoyable evening, nice food and drinks. Staff were fantastic, very professional and incredibly friendly. We attended for a graduation celebration, they gave the graduate a congratulations card which was also very sweet.

Just spent £160 on meals this afternoon at the Saint. Unfortunately two of the meals were sub-standard. The fish and chips seemed as though the fish had just been removed from a freezer, battered and deep fried. The batter tasted burnt and the fish looked like it had been steamed and tasted of nothing really. The ceasar salad consisted of dried chicken, a few croutons and one type of lettuce. Due to the fact we were in company no complaint was made at the time,however this establishment will not be seeing our money again.

Great service , Great drinks . The food was outstanding.

Had a lovely family meal here. They are dog friendly so it was great that we were able to take our dog. The staff were very friendly and gave us a warm welcome and our dog a little treat when we arrived. The menu had a good selection to choose from. Our food was tasty and the service was very good. Will be back again

The service tonight was impressive considering how the restaurant was from what I can assume fully booked, after witnessing the below table of 14 whom have all commented bad reviews treat the staff in a disgusting manner, I am very impressed with the staff’s professionalism! I would certainly not respond in such a calm and respectful manner when being shouting at in my own work place well done to all saint staff you were amazing tonight

Sunday 9Jun2024 around 730pm - the kitchen somehow seemed to have "crashed" when the restaurant was overwhelmed with diners. The waiting staff borne the brunt of the complaints, and you can see they were really stressed out. Very unfortunate. The kitchen did somehow "recover" later on that night & our food arrived at about 9pm. The food was nice & we did enjoy it. 👍👍 It will be an extremely busy week for St Andrews with graduations (which the university brought forward by a week or 2), golf competitions, etc. So St. Andrews will be over-maxxed ! The duty manager & staff did coped extremely well under the circumstances. So well done gals & guys.👍👍👍👍 But the higher management should have been much better prepared....

Premises & menu looked a little underwhelming but the interior is lovely and the food was very good too

We had a lovely meal here. Our order was a buffalo chicken burger, bacon cheeseburger & a Caesar salad. We all enjoyed the food. The staff were very friendly. We had our dog with us so we’re placed in the dog friendly section. Water bowls were given & even some dog treats for her. The area was very comfortable. Definitely be back.

Absolute disgrace of a restaurant! After waiting for an excruciating two hours at our table, all we received were our drinks. The service was abysmal, with staff seemingly more interested in fighting their customers. The management's lack of concern for our time and satisfaction was palpable. Save yourself the frustration and avoid this establishment at all costs unless you have an afternoon to waste and a masochistic desire for subpar service.

Ashamed! 4 of us came for a drink and dinner. The waitress was rude and seemed to want us to leave as quickly as possible. She made the wrong entry and had it changed but when we checked the invoice afterwards we discovered that we were made to pay for both entries!! I went to the bathroom for a moment, when I came back she had cleared my dish without my consent even though I had only eaten half of it! Unpleasant experience, it's a shame because the place is pretty and the food is quite good.

Went for dinner on a Saturday night. The food was excellent and the place itself was clean and comfortable with an upmarket feel. It was also very busy which made for a really good atmosphere. We had fillet steak which was cooked to perfection and the dessert was perfect too.

This was quite literally the worst collective service performance I have ever witnessed. Wait staff were clueless, had no sense of urgency (despite a fairly empty restaurant) and we were treated extremely rudely. We were seated for 2 hours and had only been served one drink, not seen any of our food and the management/waitstaff had made up lies about how we had treated them to justify their rudeness. Even as we left after 2 hours (wihtout eating) we tried to pay for the drinks that we had, but they refused for some reason. I expect this establishment won’t be around for much longer….

Horrifyingly poor service, especially the manager on duty tonight. Shocking really. To be verbally attacked by her was incredible, especially the lies and accusations. Never in my life…. And never again.

If you’re looking to spend 2 hours of your evening sitting around in the basement with 2 bottles of water, a mango margarita and a couple of watered down old fashioneds, split amongst 14 people, all while you wait for your meal for over 2 hours, look no further. That - coupled with an exceptional ability to make their guests feel like they’re the scum of the earth, makes this establishment the perfect spot to derail your evening.

Where do I even begin with my recent dining experience at this disastrous restaurant. The service… Waiting for our food felt like waiting for the next ice age to arrive. I'm convinced that the concept of time doesn't exist in this restaurant. I wouldn't be surprised if they were sourcing ingredients from Mars. The staff's attitude was a masterclass in how to make customers feel like they were interrupting the staff's nap time. It was as if we were asking them to perform some Herculean task, like solving a Rubik's Cube blindfolded. I guess asking for a refill on my drink was equivalent to asking them to solve world peace. In conclusion, if you enjoy being treated like an inconvenience and want to experience the slowest service known to mankind, then this place is for you. Just make sure to bring a good book and a lot of patience. Trust me, you'll need both.

Room a bit tight, but ok for one night. But a large, comfortable bed. The food in the restaurant is excellent.

Friendly and helpful staff. Large rooms. Breakfast food was excellent as well as bar service. Beer garden area in the back is nice for relaxing with a cocktail. Highly recommend.

We went in for something to eat, a lovely place with excellent service and nice food.

Had to ask for chicken missing from caesar salad and fish was absolutely cremated.

The Saint was a bar and kitchen. Food was excellent, atmosphere was peaceful, quite and cozy. Service was nice and we didn't have to order at the bar. Highly recommend this restaurant right inside the town gate.

Staff forget that they are there to serve, and are the face of the experience, they have no interest in making the experience a memorable one. The menu and food were good, the venue is amazing, sadly let down by the service.

Had a great roast dinner and the staff were great.

One of the best bars in St Andrews really good food as well 👌 😋

Staff extremely friendly and attentive..made to make you feel very welcome and nothing was any trouble.

Staff here is great, excellent service. Super location close to the Old Course

I had the three cheese mac n cheese. Good food, service and location.

We were in St Andrews for 2 days at the end of April and happened to pop into The Saint for lunch on day one and it was so good we went back on day two. Highlights were the chicken Caesar salad and the Cullen Skink...so good. Lovely 'gin terrace' out back to enjoy the much needed spring sunshine. Great service and lovely staff. Highly recommended.

Fabulous wee place. So sad the company is about to go into liquidation shortly. The staff were great and the food fantastic.

Absolutely lovely and unique restaurant which has a cosey atmosphere inside. The staff are very friendly and we were made very welcome with our wee dog, as were many others. The food is absolutely amazing and we were left full. The kids also loved their food and our son is usually very picky but finished everything. We would definitely recommend here for others.

Superb meal on Friday 19 April 2024, great choice of beers and the best macaroni and cheese I’ve ever had in a pub! It was just delicious, served by excellent attentive friendly staff! Was just a wonderful experience!

Our experience was initially very good. We opted for the haggis bonbons, which were good. We then both ordered steak for our main course, but sad to say they were both very disappointing. The staff did offer to replace them but we had waited for quite a while and wanted just to enjoy our meal. The cut of the flat iron steak was really disappointing. It was very difficult to cut after being cooked over medium. We were offered a free dessert which also wasn't great. I must say the staff were excellent. Very friendly and welcoming.

Attended last Saturday for dinner the again today for lunch. Not disappointed on both .food deeelicious. Staff friendly and attentive

Loved it dog/ child friendly...Great friendly atmosphere ... Definitely a visit if on St Andrews ...

Excellent staff. Amazing breakfast. Thanks..

Their signature cocktail is one of the best we had during St Andrews Cocktail Week, so much so that we went for it twice. Staff is super friendly and competent and the bar is cozy.

This is a review for the restaurant, not the hotel. The food is tasty but the service is painfully slow. We waited 15 minutes before someone came to take our order. We told them that we were in a bit of a hurry, yet our main dishes arrived only half an hour later. Our starters arrived another 10 minutes after that. They did not offer an apology.
