The Adamson

Came here for lunch as we were in the area visiting the Eden brewery and had supported the chef at the time, Scott Davies, on Masterchef. The food was sublime, really quite special!
The ambience, décor, staff, service — everything was absolute perfection. The only downside was that we didn’t have time to linger, or make it back before Scott left to go to Skye.
Definitely plan to return next time we are in the area.

BEST COCKTAILS! The Adamson Bar is fairly new and is separate from the restaurant. If you want a really delicious, craft cocktail, this is the place. The Charlie Chaplin Bubble Bath was incredible, as was The Physician. The Old Fashioned came on dry ice and looked so cool. The bartender was SO friendly as well. Highly recommend for a more upscale drinking experience.

Our hotel recommended the restaurant to us so we went! They have a one, two, or three course meal selection available… or just order what you want! EVERYTHING we had was yummy! The warm bread and tapenade appetizer we so good! The risotto was so fresh and delicious!!! The soup was excellent! The fish and chips were worth ordering!!! And the flat iron steak sandwich had great flavor!!! Then the desserts!!! Don’t leave St Andrews without trying their Sticky Toffee Pudding… one of the best desserts I’ve ever had!!! My husband had the mint ice cream and chocolate mousse sundae… he rated it tops!!! One of our favorite top two restaurants of our whole Scotland trip!

I had the benefit of trying this place out after failing to get into another place down the street… very happy we were turned away. It seemed a bit pricey (but I was on the parent’s «expense» account for this trip), so I was quite happy with the Adamson. Fresh, young, well-​to-​do crowd in this place. It felt a bit American if anything else. The food was quite good and I would dare say the lobster linguine I had was great. It came served with a spicy tomato sauce that complemented the buttery prawns and lobster quite well. The dish was a little small by American standards, but still satisfying. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a trendy spot in St. Andrews to enjoy a crisp meal.

Im Zentrum noch St. Andrews. Sehr schickes und toll eingerichtetes Restaurant.
Der Service sehr nett und hilfsbereit, Tische zusammenstellen, weil man zu 6 ist, kein Problem.
Die Speisekarte enthielt viel Leckeres, wir hatten an unserem Tisch schottischen Lachs und ein Rib-​Eye Steak von schottischen Angus Rind. Das Steak war ein Gedicht, zart, auf den Punkt gebraten und aromatisch. Die Beilagen waren Caesar-​Salat und Pommes. Beides ebenfalls sehr lecker, wobei ich etwas mehr Salatsosse hätte haben wollen und vielleicht Ketschup zu den Pommes. Aber das ist, das weiß ich, in Schottland normal nicht üblich.
Auch der Lachs war von hervorragenden Qualität und fachmännisch gegart und zubereitet.
Dazu ein kühles Blondes Lager (Tennents) und man kann den Urlaub genießen.
Top Adresse in St. Andrews. Mein absolut erster Anlaufpunkt, wenn ich das nächste Mal in St. Andrews bin!
Toll!

Wir hatten Lunch und saßen draußen auf der Terasse. Es gab schottischen Wildlachs auf Gemüsespiegel mit Wachtelei und Salat. Das Essen war exzellent, der Lachs war aromatisch, Cross angebraten aber saftig. Der Service war ausgezeichnet, aufmerksam und sehr höflich. Unbedingt hingegen!

Clean, friendly staff, comfortable seating, entrees in the $ 15 – 30 range. I had the butternut squash soup and the chicken salad for dinner. The soup was tasty, but overly salted, so if you’re not a salt fan, the Adamson’s soups might not be for you. The salad was good. Not too big, but it had a lot more dollops of mayo on the plate than I needed (really didn’t need or want any). If I went back, I think I’d opt for a hot entrée as they looked great. Mostly a steak place, but they did have chicken and some fish entrees. The wines were tasty too. Fresh tiny loaves of cracked wheat bread with some black olive tapanade and butter were a nice touch.

Only been in for cocktails but they have an excellent bar with a top-​notch drinks menu.
