Walked in over lunch time and had the chef’s snack experience – absolutely amazing! The food was fantastic and the service was spot on. Kay was wonderful. Highly recommend!

Fantastic, majoring in seafood of delicacy and Scottish provenance. We had a la carte with the tasting menu starter snacks. All were prepared beautifully and tasted delicious. Good, short wine list. Staff were great and friendly. Breakfast worth staying over for. Deducted one star for the steep staircase to the top of the building for our overnight room which was otherwise comfortable and well equipped.

Amazing food and fantastic service.
The lobster was delicious as was everything else.
Lovely setting too, just up the road from The Old Course.

The diddles dropped in for lunch on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
We've been to Haar a few times now and it never fails to disappoint. Big fans of the lobster dish, and again, it was super delicious.
Big shout to the staff who are always helpful but went above and beyond thus time. Poor mrs d was the victim of a bird poo strike seconds before we entered. The staff helped her to the toilet to get cleaned up. And took her jacket away to dry out. Mrs diddle much appreciated this!!

Fabulous dining experience in Haar last night.
Chose the tasting menu with paired classic wine tasting.
First three courses presented at the chefs table.
Each course was delicious, hard to pick a stand out as everything was so good but Arbroath Smokie in a tiny crisp Pastry tartlet was so delicious as was the crab with a bloody Mary gel.
A quirky message in a bottle revealed a map showing how local all the ingredients were.
Layer upon layer of complimentary flavours were present in each dish; beautifully presented by very knowledgeable staff. Service pace was just right, allowing time for each dish to be savoured.
Special mention for the Wagyu beef; it truly did melt in the mouth and Dean's deconstructed ban offensive pie in a nod to granny was a fun dish.
Exceptional dining experience, fabulous staff and surroundings in the heart of St Andrews,just perfect!

We had the lunch tasting menu and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Each course was beautifully presented, and full of flavour.
The service was just as impressive—attentive, friendly, and professional without being overbearing. The staff made us feel welcomed and ensured everything ran smoothly throughout the meal.

Incredible and most memorable experience!
Staying and dining here was truly an incredible experience. Staff were very accommodating and could not be more welcoming. We had the taster menu and wine pairing to celebrate a special birthday and it was one of the most amazing experiences, the knowledge and skill of the chef was impeccable. Every moment of the night felt so special and the food was out of this world!
Staying overnight was such a delight, the rooms were beautiful with lovely attention to detail. The location was so close to the golf course which was amazing.
I haven’t ever stayed anywhere better, it was truly the most memorable experience and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Perfect lunch. The food was delicious and the service friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing on a busy, sunny day in St Andrews.

We were warmly welcomed to Haar and for the first 30 minutes had the restaurant to ourselves.
We had the tasting menu and what an experience it was.
From the 3 'snacks' built in front of us by a very knowledgeable chef, to the sublime dishes that followed, all were excellent.
Stand out for me was the beef shin, absolutely heavenly.
However, as a diehard sweet tooth, I have to mention the desert, which I can safely say, was THE best desert I've ever had.
We've been lucky enough to dine at MOMO at The Met in N.Y. and Haar stands toe to toe with that experience.
An excellent example of good food cooked well.
