About 'The Upper Deck' restaurant

The Upper Deck is a restaurant on Old Harbour Buildings, by the harbour in Scrabster. The menu leans on seafood, with scallops served alongside black pudding as one of the plates. Fish and chips, a fish pie, mussels and linguine with prawns round out the list of seafood mains. Dogs are welcome inside, so walkers can bring their pets to the table instead of leaving them behind. The harbour setting puts the restaurant right at the water's edge, where the fishing boats come and go.

Customer Review Summary

The criticism is split. One reviewer wanted more seafood on the menu given the harbour location. Another found the king prawns small and lacking in flavour, the scallops oddly meaty and steak-like, and the linguine too heavy on tomato sauce. A third called portions small and described a young waitress who offered no smile, please or thank you.

  • Andrea Zen
    “The worst food of these 10 days vacation. King prawns was small and lacking in flavor all inside a small soup. Scallops with a meaty, steak-like flavor.. linguine with prawns was okay but too much tomato sauce in my opinion.. I ate and ran away from this place.”
  • Ruth —
    “Food was good although portions are small What let the experience down was the young waitress Definitely needs some training on how to interact with customers Not a smile or a please or thank you . Very disappointing and unprofessional service service”
  • Catherine Garner
    “Lovely and friendly to all of us (despite being southerners) including the dog. Great food (the fish pie rivalled my own and that’s saying something) and great value.”
  • Bailee Allen
    “I have come here several times and the service is consistently personable and welcoming. Every dish is delicious, every time. Our server went out of her way to find out where in town we could watch the World Cup that night. The views are lovely. Highly recommend!”
  • Jamie Lapsley
    “Went in as a NC500 detour, definitely worth the visit! the service was excellent (and good portion sizes too!) The bathrooms were clean and the food was very fresh. Recommend if your looking for a bite to eat.”
