We had a lovely lunch - the food was delicious, the service was efficient and friendly. The restaurant was very much geared up to be Covid secure and it felt safe to be eating there. We'll definitely be back again.

A fantastic experience from beginning to end. Friendly efficient service and great food, from the Cumbrae oysters, via the bisque and the chanterelle mushrooms on toast, everything cooked perfectly. We still managed to squeeze in a sticky toffee pudding with amazing home made ice cream. Couldn't fault anything.

We've been before and it lived up to everything we expected so I'm not going to mark anything down. The Covid restrictions were well managed although this inevitably affected the ambience, and service was slower than I remembered, but worth the wait!

ambiance and service (super friendly as well as efficient) are both A + I don’t think you could improve on those, even though it wasn’t possible to see all the artwork because of covid-19. The menu presented a few problems for us: I’m sure the shellfish options are delicious but I eat only fish with fins and a tail and my friend is vegetarian, so our choices were rather limited, especially with a second visit the same week (yes we do really like it there!). This may seem an unfair criticism and so it would be in a town with many dining establishments, but that’s not the case in Pittenweem. There are so many holiday homes and rentals we can’t be the only visitors with this experience, and surely the Dory wouldn’t be compromising its branding as a destination seafood restaurant if it offered a really good vegetarian main dish and not the pasta+tomatoes minus the clams my friend was offered? And why does the plain breaded/battered fish come with chips and peas (really!). On the first visit I asked for the monkfish to be served without the prosciutto and black pudding, and was given some delicious kale instead, so you have the capability! But it was great that the Dory was open as we had such nice memories from last year.

We had a delicious lunch. The staff were both professional and nice and when you asked about the food their descriptions of where and how the various fish were caught were fascinating. The provenance of the salad and vegetables was local and you could taste the freshness and the chef was excellent, knew how to cook (not overcook!) fish and seafood and delicate touches in the dressings. Bingo! We are definitely coming back!

A wonderful lunch time visit. Having been in two lockdown ... I live in Aberdeen... it was a delight to be back out enjoying such a wonderful meal. The bouillabaisse was fantastic with real depth of flavour. Both my monkfish and Mums haddock Were deliciously fresh and cooked to perfection. Can’t wait to return on our next visit .

The only negative comment would be that due to COVID, we could only see the art work in the room where we were sitting! However, we do appreciate these restrictions are unavoidable at present. The food was excellent! Would definitely recommend to others and hope to be back soon!
