What Diptych likes about The Library At The Open Arms:
Super traditional, old style, family owned restaurant in a beautiful castle green location outside trendy North Berwick. Food is fine, service is friendly and the ambience is welcoming. It can get very hot in the brasserie area because of the big picture windows, but without them there is no view. View all feedback.

Nibbles by the log fire in the lounge before dinner. A good selection of dishes on the set menu. Finish your meal back by the fire with coff and tablet.

The Open Arms Restaurant received a mix of reviews, from slow service and poor quality starters to outstanding meals and excellent service. Although some felt the portion sizes were small for the price, others raved about the high-quality food and creative menu. The cozy atmosphere and beautiful setting opposite Dirleton Castle added to the overall experience. Despite some minor criticisms and slow service during busy times, many patrons enjoyed their visit and planned to return for more of the delicious fare. The restaurant's dedication to using local produce and the attentive staff were highlights for many guests.
