"We were looking forward to a nice coffee ,possibly a cake or scone.I decided on the special Victoria cake and husband decided on sausage egg and chips,two flat whites.The sausage egg and chips was good although he said the eggs were a few seconds away from being perfect.My sponge ,although tasting nice ,was dry ,it felt a bit stale,however,the coffee was awful. Flat white as advertised is supposed to be a double shot,strong with foaming milk.it should be coffee mixed with the milk to look dark and milky.Tge moment it was laid down we knew it was week and wishy washy.abd it didn't disappoint. On a good note the staff were nice and it was clean. It's just annoying when one plays nearly £6.00 for two coffee's and it's ****."

Stopped for a coffee on our walk, nice place. They have plenty of outside seating and very close to the beach! Nice to be able to sit outside with the dog

We stopped in Stonehaven for a lunch break on our coach trip up north and we went into this cafe we ordered the seniors fish and chips which was delicious and well presented and just the right size for us as we are not big eaters . The staff were very friendly the cafe is obviously well used as it was pretty full

Normally, it's a great wee place, but do you honestly think throwing every breakfast item, including the tomato, into the deep frier is the way to go? On plus plus side (there are loads and loads) My wife loved her panini, and the staff are braw. Please make your all-day breakfast great!!!! Hungry and disappointed.

Awful…. Worst attitude and rudeness we have experienced in a cafe ever!!!!certain member of staff has a face like thunder and her attitude stinks… we had with us a family member on holiday from Canada and he couldn’t believe the rudeness….. def wouldn’t go back and wish we had of got up and left….. need to sort out wheelchair access and make it better and be a lot more helpful and accommodating!!!

Disgusting! Staff bad attitude very rude! Aggressive seagulls demolished our whole table! Children were traumatised, staff didn’t care just told me to pay full price, even though all our food and drink was destroyed by the seagulls. Tables inside but they said only tables of two they couldn’t put two together!! I will never go back due to staff not the seagulls!! Food looked pretty grim too.. only fit for seagulls!! The staff took delight in making me pay the £32! Not one member of staff asked if the we or the babies were ok, awful.

Only lets me give 1 star as the lowest but I’d be giving zero if I could. If you like the idea of standing waiting while being looked at by the staff for ages awaiting a table, to then be spoken to like absolute rubbish then this is definitely the place to go. For all I know, it may be a nice place food wise but maybe extra training for the older members of staff is required as this is 2023 and the way we were spoken too was absolutely ridiculous. I doubt the staff/owners care but we will give this place a miss and I’d advise anyone thinking about going to serious reconsider………Unless you want to be belittled and treated like something on their shoe

We entered this cafe today and didn’t see the ‘wait here to be seated’ sign and the young waitress was so rude when she eventually saw us. She told us four times a combination of “make sure you don’t do this next time” and “don’t ever let this happen again” in an extremely rude tone of voice. We told her there won’t be a next time and we won’t be eating there today either to which we got a sarcastic smirk and cheeky comment. We were told by a couple who had just left that we dodged a bullet by not eating there and went to the bowling club just along the road where the food was excellent. Won’t be using this cafe ever again and would recommend others to avoid it.

"Sunday, 3rd September 2023 – 19:00 Meal: Wine Starters – Main – Coffee My friend and I arrived at 19:00 to a busy but not overfull restaurant without a reservation and they accommodated us upstairs. Menus were produced and we ordered a bottle of white wine and a jug of water. 0rders placed for starters and 2 servings of the Italian style fish stew on the ‘Specials Board’ at 26.99 each. Tomato and chilli with promises of loads of different fish. The toss up was between a steak or the stew (which neither of us would cook at home). The table was dirty and needed wiping – this request was placed 3x on the young waitron who eventually produced a cloth slopping water from a bucket in the corner cupped in her hands where she half heartedly wiped the table with water dripping onto my friend’s lap. Hurried mop up with tissues out of my bag. The white wine was plonked on the table – next to the cooler – unopened and no glasses. Several attempts were made to attract the waitron’s attention. Eventually another bottle was produced opened and we were advised the waitron was under age and not allowed to pour wine. Perfectly acceptable had she produced an opener and the glasses with an explanation I would have been happy to help myself – we understand and appreciate these things. The starters arrived and were delicious! The chef then came out to see us and explained that there was no lobster for the stew – we asked for extra monkfish, he then said there was no monkfish left – but could help us with other white fish and crab claws. He said he was down to the last 2 portions, and he would ensure they were hearty. We were a bit concerned and suggested perhaps we settle for the steak which is always delicious. He assured us we had made the right choice and would enjoy the stew. The stews arrived and were ‘hearty’ if being crammed with the contents of a tin of crab claws is your definition of hearty. The promised ‘rich tomato broth with chilli and garlic’ was a watered down version of what was clearly less than a cup of the original broth left at the bottom of the pot topped with water. It was tasteless – lacking in hint of either chilli, wine, garlic or herbs – having lived in Malta I can assure you I have a deep understanding of Med cooking. I guess we were lucky we didn’t have the salty brine of the crab claws as the broth. It was inedible and we were starving so we kept adding salt and pepper – we were beyond the point of returning the food which was a mistake in hindsight. We skipped dessert – had coffees and left. The meal came to nearly £100.00. This was an expensive lousy experience. We paid a generous tip – because they accommodated us without a reservation. Take aways from the experience: • The restaurant service on a Sunday evening at 19:00 should be as good as it is on a Friday at 19:00 • Being a local and having eaten there several times – it is my first choice for a ‘good’ meal – don’t abuse the luxury of local support. • Train your waitrons to clean tables, by wringing out the cloth and not dripping water on your patrons. • Waitrons (even under aged ones) should at least carry a wine opener, and understand that wine glasses should be produced when delivering wine. • Your chef should know better and never, ever assume he can cut costs by selling the dregs from his kitchen. • A poor dining experience costs you more than you think. We would have ordered dessert, and more importantly returned for a second meal in the next week – WE DIDN’T! I have a friend coming from Ireland in November – do I risk taking her to the Anchor?"
