Dune

"I love a surprise. What lured us in was street ad promoting lobster roles. We got there before opening so we peeked inside the window and saw a cool little bar and planned to come back later in the day. This was not what we expected in the best way possible. The menu is unique, especially compared with all the other menus we have seen around town that have the same pies, burgers etc. The biggest problem was deciding on what to have.

My wife and I sat at the bar for about 3 hours before other family joined. Kyle, was entertaining and a great bartender. Make sure you ask for some "off menu" cocktails that are in his head. He made this Bourbon tea concoction that is absolutely dangerous, and inspiring. Kyle won an award at a cocktail competition for this one. I had a few of those. I have also never had a clear ( almost clear ) Espresso Martini before. Another surprise: they make a gin caviar. Seriously, so good.

Along with the spicy margarita, and 30 some oysters and a couple of lobster rolls. We had an amazing time. Andy in the kitchen and Grace on the floor were wonderful as well.

We are in St Andrews for 5 days, and I guarantee we will be rolling through a few more time.

If you are a limited time in town, go here."

"We booked online via the restaurant’s website and received a courteous call beforehand to say no tables were available but that we could be seated in the bar area. We appreciated the notice and decided to keep the reservation, as the restaurant’s food was meant to be of good quality.

I ordered fish and chips, while my husband chose the northern cod with pork cheek on risotto. The dishes were well presented but, unfortunately, the taste did not live up to expectations. The lukewarm risotto was watery and completely lacking in flavour, the pork cheek was dry and the cod was the nicest part of that dish. The portion was also very small for its £32 price tag.

The fish and chips offered better value: my fish was hot and the flavour reasonable, although the chips were a little overdone. This dish was £23.

The servers were pleasant throughout, but the loud music in the bar made conversation difficult. We ate and left as soon as possible.

Overall, a very disappointing experience for a £76 spend (including drinks)."

"Highly recommend Dune to anyone who visits St Andrews. The food was excellent. I ordered the 1/2 dozen oysters, the lobster and my waitress, Maddison, recommended I get the bread + miso butter with it, which was perfect."
