There is a nice variety of seafood on offer on the menu but the better choice is to select your fish from tonight's specials on the wall. That's what we did and we were very satisfied. The wine menu is limited. We chose a Pouilly Fuse that was unfortunately not drinkable. The staff were kind enough to take it back. I then chose the IPA that was much better. The appetizer recommended by our server was the mussels. These were best mussels I've ever enjoyed. It was served with a sauce made with garlic, butter, milk, and onion. It's good enough to be a soup! Our sides included brocholini and halumi. Both were excellent. The brocholini was flavorful and crunchy with a nice sauce-though know that the sauce has ham in it. The cheese, lightly fried is served with a spicy sauce that I really enjoyed, bit was too much for my wife. It was superb. We selected the monkfish and sea bass for our mains. Both were excellent, moist and flavorful fish-generous portions of each. This was an extremely satisfying and enjoyable meal. It was I've of our best in Scotland. We were frankly unable to eat more and we didn't have dessert.

So I went back the next day by myself, I did rsvp for 1 for 3pm, which was't necessary. After looking at the menu, went with: - Haddock & Chips with mushy peas. One thing I do like about this place was that, they offer different fish options, but no cod, thus I went with haddock. They do better job with frying their fish. The fish and the batter did not fall apart. The mushy peas was not my cup of joe :) When you walk in, to your right is the kitchen, where you can order for take out, walk towards the left to go to the dining room. The service was mediocre, thus only three stars. The wait staff rarely stopped by to check on you or refill your water, you had to hunt them down to get more water.

I asked about the deer and duck pate, he really couldn't explain the dish. I asked if it was more like a country pate because I was trying to understand the concept; he said yes, country pate.

I think at this level lines are a must, and crumbing is expected. Devil is in the details. Probably they expect, mostly tourists who never come back?

There were a few other parties present so the room was loud but had interesting decorations with mail carrier bags and newspaper articles (someone clearly spent a lot of time on decorations, especially with the flowers at the front). Our waiter was attentive throughout the meal and I ordered the following: -fish and chips (4/5): beautifully cooked w crispy batter and glistening fish but they forgot that final coating of salt that ties the whole meal together. I added salt and it definitely elevated the dish but this is a pretty significant oversight so I'm rating the dish based on what was presented to me. The chips were thick, crispy and well seasoned and the tartare sauce was tasty and peas interesting and good. Overall, solid fish and chips but I'm hopeful I can find better in the UK. -highland sling (4.25/5) : a refreshing and fruity raspberry drink but nothing memorable restaurant. -sticky toffee pudding (3/5): as soon as the dish came out, I knew it was dry. 'Sticky' is literally in the description and this pudding was not that. The flavor was decent but this was a disappointing end to the meal. Overall, Forgan's has a Beautiful walkway entrance with flowers and plants, great service and serves decent food.

Very very reasonable dressed crab and fresh lobster. On a sunny day (yup you are in the East Neuk, so these days are not too rare) between Easter and September, come down to the harbour for some al fresco dining. It is a little bit of New England in Scotland! Here is how you tackle the lobster shack. 1. Make sure it is open - opening hours are variable, but usually open weekends from Easter, and in the height of the summer, they are open during the week for lunch. 2. Bring glassware/plastic cups and corkscrew if you are wanting juice/wine 3. Get some cash - they don't take cards 4. Go to the hut and pick your lobster, they are live and will be freshly boiled for you. 5. Whilst lobster is boiling, go to the co-op across the road and buy some wine, bread, salad or anything else you want to have with the lobster/crab - the lobster/crab is just served as is, no lemon or anything. 6. Come back and grab yourself a bench, get your delish lobster/crab which will be served on a glass plate with real cutlery. 7. Enjoy - guaranteed you will! But please, please, don't tell anyone else - this is a really special place, we don't want it too busy now!!

Where do I even begin? This was hands down our favourite restaurant during our vacation to Scotland…read moreand we had a lot of really great meals. First off, the restaurant and the owner were so charming and his wife is also the chef. The menu is quite extensive and the choices were all excellent. It is also vegetarian friendly with plenty of choices between meat, seafood and vegetarian. Even the dessert menu was varied and extensive. I initially planned to do the 2 course meal which was very reasonably priced at £27.95, but when I looked at the dessert choices I knew I'd have to save room for three courses. The meal started off with complimentary crackers and warm homemade bread with hummus and salsa, olive oil and butter. It was a lovely start. For my starter I chose the crab baked cheddar and mustard with salad. It was fantastic, so flavourful and filling and was baked in a shell. I had troubles choosing my second course as the options all looked amazing. I wound up choosing the crab trio which consisted of a coconut curried crab also served in a shell, a crab cake and crab risotto. All delicious, although the risotto didn't resemble other risottos I've had, it was still delicious. I think next time if I'm fortunate enough to return i would try to vary up what I had as I ate crab for both courses. Once our server brought our second course she said she would be right back with our vegetables. Our plates were already full yet more food was brought to our table including mashed potatoes, scalloped potatoes and steamed vegetables. I was getting so full! And for the finale I chose the Baked Alaska and my hubby chose the Sticky Toffee Pudding. I definitely won in the dessert choices! He finished both his and half of mine.
