Booked weeks in advance as had been highly recommended. My partner had lobster which was lacking much meat, we did highlight this and they did discount a cpl of drinks, I myself had the haddock which was really disappointing, the fish batter was really poor flat with no crisp to it at all. We may just have been unlucky but without anybody actually telling the restaurant then nothing will change

Absolute fantastic venue and staff.
We got married at the orroco pier in August of this year. From start to finish I cannot praise them any higher.
The wedding planner kayleigh and her team were great, always keeping us up to date with any changes that concerned us, ensuring we never missed anything and giving some great ideas for the day.
The events coordinator cam was also fantastic on the day, ensuring everything ran smoothly, keeping us to schedule and making sure the day itself was as good as it could be.
All the bar staff were brilliant, friendly and happy to get anything that was asked

Great ambience and attentive staff spoiled by poor starters - king Prawns were from a frozen packet with dubious heritage (not King) and Hot Smoked Salmon was cold. A bad Oyster resulted in numerous trips to the bathroom throughout the night !!! Automatic discretionary service charge was paid but upon reflection was not warranted.

My husband and I came here while on our Honeymoon and decided to dine here for dinner! First of all, the views! My goodness- they can set the mood to romantic or awesome... whatever you fancy! I don't recall exactly what we ordered anymore because I waited too long to post this review, but everything was DELICIOUS. Oh, except for the Oysters in our opinion. We definitely might be Oyster snobs and they were not terrible here, but I wouldn't come here just for oysters... definitely try the food!!
Great lunch spot/date night spot/ date yourself spot/ great views spot... we loved it!!

This was my first time at the restaurant. I was with friends who had been there. I ordered to Steak Burger and it was burnt on one side. I asked for a new burger and when it came back in a couple of minutes it appeared they reunes the burnt side down and reserved it. I turned the burger back and asked for a chicken burger. It came over cooked and dry. Had to wash the first 2 bites down and could eat no more. The fries were ok. They compt mine and my wifes meal but I did come to eat.

What an excellent dining experience. Booked ahead to arrange sitting by the window to get the best view of the Forth bridge, the new Queensferry Crossing bridge (referred to by locals as "Kevin") and the Rail bridge and it was stunning. (See photo)
Ordered small mussel pot and oyster to start. Online it showed they did rockerfeller style oysters but they no longer did these. The manager came over and said the chef would do them anyway albeit slightly different from normal rockerfeller but they would be crusted.They were excellent and what great service!!Mains were the scallops which

This place has it all. Great food, great staff and a location that is nearly unbeatable. Our first night was a bit of a hassle as it was the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of the nearby Forth Road Bridge and that portion of the town was closed for the celebration. It made locating the hotel tougher than usual.
But, it was definitely worth the effort. We ended up spending 3 nights there and enjoyed every minute of it.

Where do I start with Orocco Pier? Immaculately presented restaurant and a menu to die for!
Starter, main and dessert were all extremely well presented and delicious. I find it is rare that a restaurant can serve really good pan fried scallops consistently but the chef here has got his technique nailed down!
My only three criticisms (and I hasten to add these are very very minor) are:
1. The restaurant is a very busy place and can become quite crowded although this is usually the sign of a good restaurant. It can make it difficult to book a table which takes advantage of the beautiful views

Having been back a handful of times since my first review, I'll give it a raise in starpoints.
I've been here with my boyfriend, with his parents, and with a whole slew of multi-generational family members! I've had drinks and snacks and they've been served happily (and strongly) and they kept a rather large group of people's drinks straight and quickly served.
Whenever I'm in Queensferry, I really enjoy the Orocco Pier.

Stopped in here for a quick lunch on a recent trip to south queensferry.
Fantastic place to stop, incredible views out its main window of the forth. It was busy but not overpowering just the right ambience There was even a tv with some football on tucked inconspicuously away.
Service was great and I couldnt complain about the price. Definitely find the time to stop in if you are in the area.

Orocco Pier is one of the swankier joints in town. Actually its really a hotel, but is known as a restaurant and bar venue.
Like its more humble friend down the road, The Boathouse, Orocco Pier's restaurant doesn't have the greatest vegetarian selection. It serves such appetising meals as a "roast suckling pig" (for a bargain £6.35). In the end I did settle for the gnocchi, which tasted nice, but was clearly geared toward people who liked to look at their food more than eat it. The restaurant tends to offer more fancy schmancy dishes like "crab linguine" or "
