Had lunch with three friends today, four figure conscious ladies so we asked if we should share two portions of chips, the waiter said that they are only small ramikins so we had one each - and he wasn't joking, £2 for a very small portion. We found the rest of the dishes equally disappointing and over priced. We were... More

The menu was mainly seafood but enough non -fishy veggie choices to allow a group of people plenty of choice - food and waiting staff well presented and it felt like a smart lunch out with a reasonable price tag More

Looking forward to eating here when I heard it had been voted Scottish fish restaurant 2011, but all I thought was the competition must have been quite poor , I don't think it knows what it really is as far as decor is concerned , uncomfortable seats , so it doesn't make you want to hang around.Began with salmon fish...

Hi and thanks for your review -I believe that there were over 4000 Scottish restaurants in the 13 catergories involved in this years 2012 awards. We appreciate that the decor may not be to everyone's taste although we have had considerable interest from many customers in the restored original art deco interior and the aluminium work, which really is unique!!...

Beautiful food, great choice of menu, lovely desserts, nice wine. Deserves it's reputation as one of the best restaurants in the city. The service was a bit slow between courses but I think this was due to the size of the group. I was with a large group of people (approx 30). The staff were pleasant and hard working and... More

A dynamic, young staff served my wife and I, and two friends, a remarkable dinner. Two of us had their pasta and fish dish, which was simply wonderful. My wife and my friend's wife each had something different and equally delicious. I just don't think that you can go wrong with anything here from starter to dessert. The staff were... More

I recently visited Cafe Fish along with my wife and young children, accompanied by my wife's Mother and Father. My children are aged 3 and 8 years old. This wasn't a problem for the resturant at all. Our waiter was excellent, he couldn't do enough to help us. We ordered starters and mains for the adults and just mains for... More

Visited Café Fish, for dinner, at the start of April, after hearing some very good things for a couple of my friends and colleagues - it certainly did not disappoint! The menu(s) was excellent with a range of things to choose from. Even though I am not a huge fan of wine, we had one of the cheapest wines on... More
