"On a calm Saturday night, my party was the only ones in the restaurant initially. The food was exceptional, especially the mussels. We even brought our dog along and they were very accommodating with a meal for our furry friend. When we requested rice but received pasta instead, the staff quickly corrected the mistake without any fuss. Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable. However, it was often difficult to get the attention of the wait staff. This may have been due to the restaurant's size or the fact that they tended to congregate near the bar, which was quite a distance from the tables. Despite this, we plan to return for special occasions in the future."

"The price of £12 for a starter and mains starting at £26 may seem a bit high for a hotel in South Queensferry. However, the quality of the food almost justifies the prices. The squid starter was incredibly fresh and flavorful, the fish and chips were generous and tender, and the apple tart dessert was just right. The wine menu is extensive and offers mostly reasonably priced options (such as a bottle of New Zealand sauvignon blanc for £44). The service was excellent, not overly attentive but just the right pace. The restaurant was not very busy during my visit, so I cannot speak to what it would be like during peak times. Overall, I would highly recommend dining at the hotel if you are staying there and do not feel like venturing out. However, I am not sure if I would specifically choose to visit the hotel just for the food, as delicious as it was."

"We visited this restaurant on a rainy Monday afternoon and found it to be busy with a small band playing. The service was quick and the staff were friendly and eager to chat, making us feel very welcome. The atmosphere was great overall. The owner even brought out complimentary food plates for everyone. It just goes to show that with a little effort, a pub can be successful even on a dreary November day. The band played music from the Beatles era and did a fantastic job. Kudos to the owner for creating such a welcoming and enjoyable experience. The average price per person was between £10-20."

"Reached North Queensferry after crossing the Red Bridge' from South Queensferry. As we came down the hill from the station, the lady was opening up Rankin's at 10 a.m. Nice sunny morning so we chose to sit outside for a quick spot of refreshment, train...watching at the same time. Used the toilet before leaving. Establishment was very clean. It should be noted that there are no public toilets in North Queensferry. The Ferrybridge Hotel where we had downloaded a light lunch' menu appeared to be shut down. Spent the next couple of hours taking leisurely back over Forth Road Bridge to our hotel we were staying in."

"We only discovered that this charming cafe offered gluten-free options on the final day of our holiday. If we had known earlier, we would have tried more of the delicious offerings available. However, we did enjoy a gluten-free cake, as they had a great selection of pre-packaged cakes. The menu also includes paninis and jacket potatoes, and the staff appeared to be knowledgeable about Coeliac disease, so I believe they would be able to accommodate dietary needs well. My partner, who does not have Coeliac disease, tried a scone and found it to be delicious. There were also plenty of other tempting cakes to choose from. The prices were reasonable compared to other cafes, despite a customer behind us complaining about the cost of a toastie. Overall, we had a pleasant experience at this cafe and would recommend it to others."
