The Cedar Inn - Fife

: this review is perhaps biased, as the reason I visited the cedar inn was that my best friend the fiance is the chief there and she wanted me to try it.

Visited the Cedar inn while on a nostalgic trip to Aberdour. We were too early for dinner so thought that we would have a glass of wine and a packet of crisps to tide us over. Nearly fainted when we were charged £17.50 for 2 glasses of wine and 2 packets of crisps. No tariff listing that I could see. Decided we would not stay for dinner.

I dined at this restaurant tonight and it was absolutely fantastic. I tried the pasta dish and it was outstanding. I highly recommend this place to everyone.

I had lunch at this restaurant today. I originally wanted to go to the Forrester Arms across the road, but they don't serve food on Mondays. I'm only rating this place a two because the young man serving us was polite. If we weren't so hungry, we probably would have sent the food back. I can't believe they managed to produce soggy, half-burnt chips. The meal was overpriced and bad. To make matters worse, they were playing Celine Dion at a volume that felt like torture.

We arrived just after 1pm, sat in the bar area and ordered and were served a drink immediately. 10 minutes later we placed our food order. At 1.50 I went in search of a staff member to find out if the food was likely to be served that day. Strangely, it arrived within minutes. I ate seafood curry, which was good, if lacking in any heat and my companion ordered vegetable curry which was mostly made up of large chunks of marrow interspersed with large chunks of tomato and seemed to be lacking any curry taste at all. Understandably, she was not impressed. Bearing in mind that when we arrived there was one table of 4 occupied in the main dining area and we were followed in by a table of 6, then 3 and another 2, the place was hardly busy. On a number of occasions in the past 2 years I have eaten here, always thinking it must be an (unforgiveable) 'off ' day and hope each time it will improve. Sadly not. Another group had to chase up their order and were brought drinks on the house as way of an apology. We were not offered this. If we had been it might have almost persuaded us to give it another go, but not to be. I am not prepared to pay a bill of £24.50 for an indifferent meal and exceedingly slow service again.
