The Waterside Bistro

Staff were excellent from the first step in the door until we left. Brilliant menu choices and the food was superb.

Excellent meal out with family and the staff were very attentive.

Excellent food , a nice ambience and good service . Lovely location ! It ticked all the boxes

Wij aten voor de eerste keer bij de Riverside bistro en hebben echt heerlijk gegeten. Zeer vriendelijke bediening en een prettige atmosfeer. Een topper! We gaan zeker terug!

A nice experience combined with good service which was nice.

Good lunch as always. New menu and enthusiastic staff. We will be back.

Great meal and service, food was lovely. Was a tiny bit chilly with the door, but nothing bad

Great staff and great food made a memorable birthday dinner

Lovely food and setting. The risotto was best yet, but everyone enjoyed their choice of food.

Food was cooked to perfection, waiter explained the specials and his attention to detail was excellent

Wonderful restaurant! friendly staff, excellent food and brilliant atmosphere - either sitting outside by the river or inside by the cosy fireplace! love the visit each time:)

Food was great and staff very friendly , definitely recommend it

We have dined at the Waterside on several occasions however that last 2 visits have been "just ok". Maybe need to re-visit the salad that is served as it looks like something served from a local cafe. Not sure if the Chef has changed in the last year but unfortunately we won't be back any time soon

Friendly Host, great food and great atmosphere, cosy bar for a nightcap.

Very impressed with the service. Cosy comfortable atmosphere. Fish and chips were excellent.

Food served hot, and quickly too! Food was lovely and staff great. Happy, chatty and very professional

Meal was outstanding as always and staff were all friendly

Lovely freshly prepared lunch and excellent service! Special diets no problem for this establishment. We will be back.

A delicious meal with attentive service at reasonable price - nothing more to be asked for.

Amazing as always. We knew what we wanted, staff are amazing. Only problem was a really smelly dog at the table beside us that couldn't keep the dog under control. Nothing to do with the waterside though. Leave your dog at home. I'll be back, smelly dog or not

We had an amazing dining experience again! Food, drinks and service were great!

A lovely night, good food and good service. Will definitely go again.

Lovely meal tonight was had for three. I had the chicken with apricot, chorizo and rosemary stuffing and orzo past with chipotle. Delicious.

Food tremendous and all the Staff are the heart this Bistro. Apologies if we were "last ones out".... we were having such a great night!

Lovely burgers, very meaty and tasty, with a nice salad and chips

Starter, main and dessert all fantastic! Will definitely be returning.

1st course was amazing, drinks great, waiting on desserts 🍨

Great service. Great food. All round very happy. Thank you

Good variety of food choice, attentive staff, cosy atmosphere. Food was tasty, although the set menu was fairly expensive. Definitely go back, just not every week

When visiting my mum in East Lothian we always come to this lovely super friendly restaurant. Great food, lovely atmosphere & always so welcoming. Keep up the great work!

Another successful visit to the Waterside Bistro. Prettily situated in the town of Haddington they serve good food at a reasonable price.

I love the fillets of seabass when they crop up on the menu. Very tasty.

We are regular visitors to the Waterside bistro as the food is lovely, not too expensive, the location is so picturesque and the service very friendly.

Lovely food. Great location. Excellent service. Visited with my disabled mother and restaurant is disabled friendly.

Quando booking worked. Nice greeting from staff. Table by the window view. Nice menu. Good price. Great tasting food.

Beautiful setting by the River , first class service and Sunday lunch was delicious, would definitely recommend a visit

I always enjoy the Waterside the food is plentiful the atmosphere too.

Beautiful setting on a beautiful day. I had the butternut squash spring rolls in a Thai sauce which was lovely.

Great meal as expected, service was great, will be back soon

Loved the experience. Food was amazing and staff very friendly.

First class, lovely food and great service - would highly recommend

This is one of my favourite restaurants; the food is always good and the atmosphere restrained and civilised. The service is attentive without being servile and the setting is second to none. For me the most important thing is that it is quiet; there is no cheap and noisy pop music blaring and that in itself for me is worth an extra star.

Very, very good. The food was exceptional, service was good. No complaints at all.

The food was exceptional and the staff so lovely. Highly recommend.

Main course was lovely but sticky toffee pudding was cold, dry and almost inedible. All 3 of us left half of it. Told staff this when they were clearing away but nothing done or any compensation offered.

Attentive service, as always, lovely tasty mid week relaxing supper. Thank you.

Lovely evening with great food and excellent service. Nice touch with a birthday song and flowers being presented to the birthday girl at the end of our meal. They made a lovely evening really special.

Great service and surroundings - made to feel very welcome even with all the kids in tow!! Thanks 🙏

Such a lovely evening at the Waterside. A warm welcome, efficient service and delicious, skilled cooking made a family get together perfect.

Seasonal menu, food, staff and atmosphere were all excellent. One of the few restaurants where the specials bird is actually special.
