Food and service were both 5 star. We were treated like princesses…. I left comments when making the booking regarding both diners having hearing aids.. I do this every time we book somewhere and it is usually completely overlooked.. this was not the case at the waterside bistro, they had a lovely quiet table for us and acknowledged the comments I left about our heating when we arrived, our table also over looked the view Thank you so much

Main courses were excellent as was the service and atmosphere. The only negative was that the sticky toffee pudding would have been much better warm.

The food was good but the kitchen seemed really stretched so there was a long time to wait for lunch. The great reputation of the Waterside will be dented if this becomes the norm. We’ll give it another try to check.

Very jolly welcome. Cannot choose between which was the best main dish - chicken with chorizo and apricots wonderful tastes and textures, rib eye cooked perfectly, pork there was no offer to taste and the plates were clean, braised beef and the roast beef were both fantastic. Sticky toffee pudding was the favourite for dessert! The service was polite and friendly. The only downside is with the hard floor, walls and chairs/tables it did get noisy as it got busier. We will be back.

Could not speak more highly of the staff and of our overall experience. The staff were very attentitive and went out their way to make this such a special occasion for my father who was celebrating his 86th birthday with his sister (91) and niece all of whom have mobility issues. We didn't have much time so only had mains but what we did have was incredibly tasty and super fresh. The staff all came out and sang happy birthday to my dad with a cake topped with a candle (unknown to me this was going to happen). It was very emotional for my dad who was delighted. He had left Haddington 60years ago and this visit was part of a trip down memory lane - what a lovely day full of more memories! Thank you so much to all at Waterside Bistro and would definitely visit if back in neighbourhood.
