Have been to the Waterloo for family outings on a number of occasions over the past couple of years. The food has always been good, with quite a good range to cover the picky dietary requirements of my family (vegatarian, low fat, no wheat)! The staff are very accommodating and will offer alternatives, if a menu item doesn't quite meet... More

We visited last night with friends and it won't be our last. Great menu and excellent service. Presentation of the dishes served was lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would certainly recommend this to others. The home made soup was scrummy and I would also recommend the mussels. Superb. More

Based on all the other reviews here, I had high expectations. The staff were nice, but the food was average. I had steak and chips at £18. The meat was under seasoned and I had at least expected the chips not to be frozen. My partner enjoyed her dish, but again it is over priced. More

I was really impressed with the Waterloo Bistro. It's in a great location, is nicely presented inside, great fresh food and good service. I noted in their menu that they source all their main ingredients from local East Lothian suppliers and farms and you can tell by the freshness of the food. The young waitress who looked after us was... More

We enjoyed a lovely meal in the Waterloo Bistro. The bistro itself is relatively plain pubby style but the food and service befits better accomodation. We had a great meal here and the hosts where very welcoming More

We used the Bistro for a Birthday celebration. The setting was very good although next time I would ask for a table near the window. The food I had was excellent but some of our party found the pizzas they'd ordered were a tad on the 'well done'. The service was quick and efficient and they brought out a cake... More
