We had a delightful meal of most excellent seafood here. Staff were all outstanding and service impeccable. The wine service was particularly helpful and we matched our food with excellent wines expertly suggested without any hint of the patronising air that sometimes comes with sommelier...expertise. The pace was relaxed throughout and the value was extremely high for the quality of food and drink. A real find!More

Simply Delicious ! If I lived in St Andrews I would be a regular.More

The most fantastic dinner in a very long time. Service was sublime - greeted at the door like old friends. Made comfortable immediately, staff were attentive and informative with every aspect of the menus - food and drinks etc. Some of the best food my...wife and I have ever experienced, and paired wine recommendations were perfect. Everyone was incredibly accommodating given we’d brought our 9 month old boy along - thankfully he slept most of the night! Couldn’t ask for a better experience.More

My wife and I live in St Andrews and we eat here a few times each year. Today we had their set-lunch menu and it was fabulous, in every way. Each course was at the top end of what fine-dining offers. Service was discreet but...excellent and the views along the beach just stunning.More

I booked this restaurant for my friend’s 50th birthday and we were not disappointed. The staff were attentive without being overbearing. The menus were discussed with us and when the food was delivered, the meals were explained. We were told exactly what each part of...the meal was. My friend is a coeliac and the staff were very knowledgable about dietary requirements. The staff clearly work together well. We loved the chat with the Londoner, turned Scot! Practically all of the tables have a great sea view. It was an expensive meal but we were full after the two dishes we ordered and the quality was amazing. 5 stars were not enough!More

Don't miss a visit to this restaurant which combines outstanding food with the best view of the St Andrew's coast. A long lunch allowed us to watch the receding and incoming tide. The sommelier gave wonderful suggestions. The oysters were some of the best that...we have tasted -- truly an explosion of the taste of the sea in your mouth. I enjoyed the crab risotto as my starter which was a true fusion of tastes on the palate. The cod surrounded by lemongrass sauce was amazing. Eating at the Seafood Ristorante is expensive, but is a definite choice if you want a memorable treat.More
