Returned for takeaway fish suppers. My wife had the breaded haddock which was perfect unfortunately the remainder of our party had battered haddock which was very greasy, perhaps they should leave the fish longer in the heated cupboard to let the fat/oil drip off. It spoiled our dinner as it was not what we were expecting from this normally very good eaterie

This is not a place to come if you want to have a conversation. The place is very crowded, reservations absolutely essential. The tables are very close together and it seems popular with families. Our group last night finally gave up and ate in silence.However, the food is quite good--we had everything from fajitas to sea bass and all were excellent. We were amazed at how quickly the food came to us--the fastest service we experienced in three weeks in Scotland. The waitress encouraged us to order seafood--she said it was what they are known for. Those that did order it, said it was excellent. I had two appetizers for my entree and the calamari was unusual--very large rings, but good. The portions are quite large and the desserts were wonderful.

We made the mistake of visiting this establishment for lunch today and were simply gobsmacked by our experience. I ordered the prawn linguine which states on the menu it is just prawns, herbs and garlic. So imagine my surprise when it arrived loaded with the same quantity of red onion slices as it had linguine. Why was this an issue you might wonder? Well I suffer from IBS and onions in any form make me very unwell very quickly. I voiced my concern to the waitress and she assured me it would fine and apologised for them not being listed on the menu, but that I could pick something else. She then brought me the dinner menu, containing the same dishes but on average £4 dearer! When I pointed this out she brought the correct menu then disappeared.After what seemed like an eternity the very surly and peeved off manageress came to our table and I ordered a salmon sandwich to which she made a sarcastic comment 'no onions then'?. She then proceeded to ask my if I wanted any extras with it. I confirmed I just wanted a sandwiches as ordered to which she said ' do u not want garlic bread, chips or onion rings?' Onion rings?? Has she short term memory loss?!Anyway, to cut a long story short we ate our meal amidst an atmosphere you could cut with a knife mainly due to scalding looks from staff including the manageress herself. After asking for the bill my husband asked to speak to the manageress. I myself was not going to raise our issues with her as I imagined they would fall on deaf ears, but even I was surprised at her reaction.My husband began eplaining his disappointment to which she became very aggressive, not letting him explain and ranting at me instead of speaking to him. When I tried to speak she kept accusing me of not liking onions, rather than actually acknowledging my condition, and basically treated me like a fussy eater. I have never met a more ignorant, rude and vile nasty piece of work in my life. She kept ranting and I stated I had nothing left to say as it was pointless and I just wanted to pay the bill and leave, and that we would never return again. Upon taking my money and going back to counter she made a comment to her staff the burst of laughing, openly mocking me. I am simply speechless at this behaviour demand would advise anyone to avoid crossing the door of this coven.

We spent a wonderful evening enjoying the great atmosphere, friendly service and fantastic food at Craig Millar @ 16 West End. How there are no michelin stars here is astonishing - one of the best we've had, and weve enjoyed The Kitchin, the Peat Inn, Martin Wisharts and other unrecognised but excellent restaurants. Craig Millar's is very, very good. Go there!

Busy busy on a Saturday night, people in and out and many were locals. Four fish suppers and they were delicious. We had extra fish because they said the portions were small so we needed extra - such decent honesty. Totally recommend this local chippy.

I hesitated about eating at a golf club but this was a pleasant surprise. The non-member restaurant is café style but with view over the bay. Generous portions. The scallops and mussel dishes were superb, as was the venison (although black pudding mash a bit heavy for me). With a little more finesse (drink information, service and food) this place could really put the wind up other well known eateries nearby.

Visited last Christmas time just for a drink and said that if we ever went again to the area, weâd eat here. Enjoyed their veggie tasting board, macaroni cheese (which was fantastic) and a scotch egg. All very nice and washed down with a nice bottle of wine.

A small bistro located beside the harbour in Pittenween. Very welcoming and the food is fantastic, can highly recommend the mussels and lobster.
