"Beautiful location matched by an intimate atmosphere, excellent service and inventive cuisine right across the menu".

"With food this satisfying, there's no need to go any further than the Waterfront, now owned by the team behind neighbouring Skippers. And if you're in a hurry, the particularly well-priced express lunch menu is served within 20 minutes of ordering".

The List


"My fillet of cod studded with garlic and wrapped in parma ham was a mini marine triumph - the cod flesh firm, moist and dazzling white - the parma ham crispy but not strong enough to overpower the seaside freshness of the main attraction...
we concluded with Chocolate Nemesis, this soft-baked chocolate confection still scores the triple A for me. In fact that would be the rating for the meal as a whole".

Gillian Glover - The Scotsman 


''Consistently good, fresh and imaginatively cooked fish and seafood are the mainstay at this long - established restaurant in Leith"
