Promising Ideas, Mixed Execution
* Overall: We had high hopes for our pre-booked meal at Five March but left with mixed feelings, landing around a 3.5-star experience.
* Atmosphere & Service: The restaurant has a lovely ambiance, and the staff were pleasant and kind.
* Cocktails: Concepts were unique, but the drinks didn't always reflect their listed ingredients (e.g., a lychee, miso, and caramel cocktail tasted primarily of citrus).
* Food: The main area for improvement. While the ideas were creative, the execution often lacked finesse:
* Salmon "pastrami" was overly salty and needed more accompanying slaw.
* Carrot hummus was tasty, but served with unpalatably bitter endives.
* Aubergine was unremarkable.
* "Roasted" cauliflower wasn't truly roasted.
* Dessert: The cremeaux was a pleasant enough pudding with texture but lacked complexity. Plating was a little funny - just a mess of chocolate on the plate.
Five March offers interesting concepts and a nice setting, but the food and cocktails needed more refinement in execution to fully deliver on their promise during our visit.
After a boat ride and visit to Seabird Center, The Grange was the perfect place to eat a warm and comfy meal. We walked in on a Wednesday around 17:00. We are a party of 5 and we were immediately greeted and sat. Friendly and pleasant service. The restaurant is clean and well organized. We ate 1) Oh so blue burger 2) Mac n cheese 3) sausage 4) blue cheese, pine nut and bacon salad with seared beef. The main courses were flavorful and felt like homemade. We shared the Fat Matt for dessert, rich and filling. The cost was reasonable and fair for the quality of the food and service. If you visit North Berwick, do not miss The Grange. Highly recommend!
Brilliant selection of different foods, I had a BLT with chicken and was amazed with how good it was! Coffee was quite weak so would recommend an extra shot.

Went here for a colleague's leaving do. Very expensive but none of our group had a cause to gripe about the price. We were mid week and it was about a third full but I can imagine it being packed on a weekend.
We called here on our way to Lock Ness as we were staying in Durnamuck for a holiday, the coffee was really nice (proper coffee not instant crap) and the apple & cinnamon scone was delicious so soft and just perfect. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, definitely on our favourites list for when we are back up this way.
Tomé mi dinero para un pastel de fiesta. Pero se fue a la bancarrota así que no hay pastel y no hay dinero... muy decepcionante. Solo un correo electrónico renegando de la orden
