The Linton in East Lothian

Turned up for a late lunch and found the place almost empty. Menu has potential and when asked about the menu we were told the chicken burger was done in butter. When it arrived it was coated in bread crumbs and extremely dry. Waitress/waiter should know the menu, although she was a new start.To make matters worse, another customer came in to pay a deposit for a pre ordered menu, which apprently according to the chef they DON'T do. His attitude in relation to the customer's questions was arrogant and standoffish and I certainly will not be back. Not very professional!One star for the glorious pint of Peroni and the little chocolate you get when you pay the bill

Went for lunch, thot we'd give it a go...wish we hadn't.I asked about the menu, was given wrong advice. I ended up leaving my whole main course.An expensive lunch just to be thrown into the bin with no discount.

Cannot fault this place at all. Never disappointed with the food so tasty and reasonably priced. Staff are lovely, always polite and friendly. Highly recommended.

Slow service with very young staff that need to be trained really don't know the difference between red sauce and red wine and food served not only on cold plate but cold food to go with it needless to say very disappointed 😒

Booked a table for 5.30 with full intention of ordering from festive menu.Arrived to a empty restaurant that didn't have any tables set out with cutlery. ( Had to enter via a busy bar).First course was fine, till the waiter took the dishes away dropping a knife with Marie rose sauce on itl eaving a mess on the table. He didn't return to clean it up and I ended up cleaning up myself.Turkey dinner was absolutely disgusting, to the point I'd say the meat was off.Desserts weren't that great either.Poached pears presented fridge temperature.....we expected them to be warmish.During the whole meal, no background music except the noise of the busy bar we entered through.Expected better from a highly rated restaurant.

Lovely meal. Staff excellent. Great night. Would definitely recommend

Called in to the bar for a couple of drinks with our Alaskan Malamute. We were made welcome. Friendly staff and locals.

Had dinner on Tuesday 28th September and Sarah and all the staff on duty including the chef made dining at The East Linton Hotel delightful. The experience was warm and friendly and welcoming. So good we booked in for a night stopover on return from our break in North Yorkshire. Stayed the night Monday 4th October, had the fish at dinner for our (main) which was excellent and the breakfast was excellent too, I even thanked the chef personally. Yet again the staff on duty made our stay a joyful experience. Well worth the money and will be staying there again in the future. George & Angelina

Such a welcoming atmosphere from staff and locals. Food, especially the steak was excellent! The cooked breakfast was more than enough to sustain you un until tea time. Thank you for a lovely stay. Will definitely be back if we are in that area ❤
