Agua Restaurant and Bar in Edinburgh, City of

At first glance, we thought this would be just a basic breakfast buffet, however it is supplemented nicely with various menu items. Food was fine, and I might have given three stars, except that our server Nick made me the most incredible cappuccino with almond milk. He also had good suggestions for what to order. Truly exceptional service and I am bumping it up to four stars. Excellent almond milk cappuccino. Thank you Nick!

Much nicer than the standard full English buffet. You can get that if you wish, or get waffles, kippers, smoked salmon, bacon&egg rolls, etc. There was a nice cheese, fruits and meat selection, and light and flaky pastries. The omelet was cooked in a skillet, with cheese and tomatoes then added, and cooked through (without flipping). It was brown underneath and a bit rubbery.

If I could give zero stars I would. This place is a disaster. We waited 30 minutes for a table. We couldn’t figure out why no one was leaving…and now we know….there is NO SERVICE HERE!!!!!!!! Zero. Nada. We’re leaving. Forfeiting the upfront payment £14 per person. The people next to us ordered one roll and 45 minutes later it still had not arrived! Never again.

My partner and I visited the restaurant for a three course meal, late November. The place is very attractive and the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. I had the tempura king prawns for a starter, partner had Hirata buns, Asian slaw with soya glazed chicken - both delicious. The mains were grilled Scotch cheese burger with usual the accompaniments, parter enjoyed everything. I went for the roast chicken breast, chorizo, pan fried gnocchi, rocket, red wine jus - was excellent, chicken was very tender. Desserts were the warm frangipane raspberry tart with delicious poached plum and vanilla mousse, toasted coconut and pineapple salsa. Both very nice, the frangipane and plum compote being the winner. It seemed somewhat busy for a Monday evening and there was only one server on for all the guests. But service was excellent and timely, the server Jimmie was superb, very helpful, friendly and professional - a credit to the business. Compliments to the chefs, food was very lovely. ❤️ Bill was £56 and change for two 3 course meals and two soft drinks. Excellent value, especially for Edinburgh City centre. Would definitely recommend and would return to try more of the menu.

Beautiful setting and gorgeous food. The sea bream was perfect! We were also huge fans of the chocolate souffle and its rhubarb and ginger ice cream. Excellent service too. Will definitely be going back.

Solo desayunamos allí, pero el servicio fue excelente y muy dispuesto a ayudar al personal. El menú tenía una gran variedad de platos y la calidad de la comida se podía apreciar incluso en los desayunos. En nuestra próxima visita lo intentaremos para almorzar o cenar seguro.

Carta de menú escasisima. Platos mal elaborados. Risoto pasadisimo, coctel de gambas crudas y apenas sin descongelar... No pudimos tomar postre, pues a pesar de tener reserva para las 21h, a las 22 h. cerraron la cocina sin darnos oportunidad de pedir los postres. No se lo recomendaría a nadie.

This place is weird- you can look at the pictures, it's a little too modern. But all that aside, the food was really good, and the wait staff was extremely attentive and friendly, which you'd expect at a place like this.

Too much effort is put on presentation. I left hungry after a 3 course meal.

Good food good prices friendly staff

Upmarket place, bit pricey and zero atmosphere

Sehr aufgestellte und freundliche Bedienung. Die Speisekarte ist übersichtlich und die Speisen vielfältig. Das Essen schmeckt recht gut, ist zwar ziemlich fettig doch die Küche hier ist einfach so. Der Preis und die Leistung stimmen

En aquest restaurant vam dinar, dins la tuta que feiem per Escòcia. Tot molt correcte

Séjour de 3 nuits dans cet hôtel très bien placé et bien tenu dont un repas dans ce restaurant. Serveur à l'accueil peu sympathique mais heureusement sa collègue est charmante et efficace. Plats sans saveur, ni bons ni mauvais, cuisine sans intérêt à un prix élevé pour la qualité moyenne. Il y a bien mieux non loin de là à Edimbourg !

Delcious, 3 courses for £20 and I had the squid starter, salmon and garlic potatoes for main and white chocolate brownie with chocolate ice cream for dessert. It was delicious! Excellent service from all the staff with a particular shout out to Laura, Mitchell and Robert. Would go again!!

Good quality food and service was good. We had breakfast which was lovely and had buffet and ordered hot meals. Dinner was very nice and quite reasonable for the price.

Two stars for the place. BUT food is tasteless and doesn’t feel fresh. Chicken sticks awful, dry and dull! Veggie and Green beans are plain don’t feel fresh. Salmon is okay not the green beans! Feels like they use frozen food! The service wasn’t good it took us long time waiting to order!

Really pleasant trainee girl served us, extremely friendly and attentive. Food was lovely but needed slightly bigger portions for the price.

Fab special offer of 3 courses and a bottle of wine between 2 for £40 on a Saturday night. What a fab little place. Food was fantastic the haggis bon bons were amazing! Loved the food here. Staff were so friendly and it was a great place where you could grab a meal without feeling rushed and enjoy each other's company. Would highly recommend

Agua had a lovely meal on offer this summer, three course and a bottle of wine for two for only 40 pounds. There were plenty of choices, and the dishes were very tasty and well presented. Staff were very friendly and spontanious.

Took a last minute table last night. The food was ok, as was the service and the room, but there's nothing amazing here

Decent steak and a good service

Food was spot on and so were the staff. A truly memorable meal and overall experience. We will be back this December!

Fantastic food and service!! As the weather was bad, the restaurant was quiet and initially we thought it was going to feel awkward but there were 3 tables full and was fine. The food was excellent and particularly enjoyed the haggis bon-bon starter and the desserts were amazing! A special mention is deserved by Emma, our waitress who was genuinely friendly and attentive. Probably the best service we've ever had! All of this for £40 for 2 including wine! We would definitely go back!

We had our work night out here last night and it was okay.There were 13 of us and we were seated at split tables which we decided to push together as we were together. We asked for water but were not asked if it was still or sparking so we got carafes of tap water which wasn't good. The starters were served quite quickly as were the drinks.I opted for the Asian spring rolls which were very nice indeed as were the calamari rings..cooked very well,not rubber band like,thank goodness! I followed that with pan fried chicken served with risotto which was also very tasty.After the main course the service got a bit slow though which was a shame.As I'm not one for dessert I had the vanilla ice cream with chocolate sauce, simple but nice. The decor is very modern with bizarre office type metal desk lamps.Reminded me a bit of IKEA. The air conditioning is above the seating which blew out very cold air and one of us sat with her scarf on.When she told a staff member he turned it up which then became too warm to sit comfortably..there didn't seem to be a middle ground.Can't have it all I suppose. All in all the evening was fine.The staff are very nice and friendly and the food is good but it just isn't a place I would visit again.

My good lady and I Ate here tonight at 5pm through a booking on 5pm website, 3 courses on wine and dine menu with inclusive bottle o f wine for £40 ( bargain if Good?) (wine on the menu at £20 a bottle!!!) No one else in the restaurant at 5pm but no worries, the welcome, service and food was superb. Lovely Cabernet Sauvignon , starters of squid and haggis bonbons , mains of beer battered haddock & cod fillet were superb, (haddock was best) followed by sticky toffee cake and ice cream and apple crumble and ice cream again superb. Jug of water with the meal no charge ! Pint of Heineken £4.30 probably the cheapest pint I had in Edinburgh all day. Great deal via 5 pm but also big thanks to Apex Bar, waiting and kitchen staff for an excellent meal. Will we be back ? If I get a similar deal, Absolutely!! Thanks Guys.

Had dinner here. The food is delicious! Staff are very attentive and there are good deals on 5pm.co.uk to get the best price.

A great restraunt. Great staff, good prices. We were staying at the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel whuch is where the restraunt is located. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner here and I could not find a fault with anything. The staff are very friendly, polite and helpful. Robert who we saw a lot of during our stay is a credit to the restraunt/hotel. The quality of the food was excellent with plenty of choice at Breakfast. I can't comment on the price of breakfast as this was part of our stay. The price for lunch/dinner and drinks was very reasonable.

Lunched here-had voucher- all the staff were just lovely. Renia -manager- was a joy. Great personality and would brighten up any occasion.The menu was quite big and we both enjoyed our meal. It was good value. We will make a return visit.

Ate here as we were staying in the hotel but it was a nice atmosphere, strong menu and delicious food; excellent service too. The haggis bon bons are FIT.

We came in because we were staying at the hotel. The decor and room arrangement is modern and not cozy but the food was delicious. My friend has a Caesar salad that was genuine, not bottle dressing flavored. I had a grilled chicken on a bed of zucchini noodles. (A perfect gluten free choice) The table next to us had their sharing plate of cheeses,meats, oatcake crackers, olives etc. It looked good. It was busy but now noisy and overcrowded like the neighbor pubs.

Estábamos localmente y fuimos para algo de cenar. El personal era cálido y acogedor. Refrescos llegó rápidamente. Vinnie, el gerente del restaurante era agradable. El menú se ha simplificado, pero sabía maravillosamente. Una gran cena, así que volvimos el domingo antes de dirigirnos a casa.

La primera noche comimos aquí tardo unos 5 - 10 minutos de pie en el bar mientras que los pocos personal tratado con otras personas - casi se fue.

Este es un comentario difícil de escribir, reservamos una mesa en línea esperando un restaurante familiar en el concurrido centro social de Grassmarket, pero cuando llegamos nos dimos cuenta de que es el restaurante de la casa de una gran cadena hotelera. Decía que era inteligente y limpio por dentro y por fuera. El personal era rápido, agradable y servicial. La comida era muy buena, sin ser particularmente especial. Hasta ahora tan bueno. El problema era el ambiente, o más bien la falta de. Éramos los únicos huéspedes en un gran espacio, rememorando sin luz natural. He estado en los aeropuertos con más ambiente. Así que si te alojas en este hotel, entonces no me puedo quejar del restaurante. Me viaje por esta hermosa ciudad y peculiar lleno de curiosidad, restaurantes independientes para disfrutar de esta experiencia de la empresa? Lo siento pero no!

Había descubierto el agua cuando buscando en 5:00 pm. En busca más cerca, descubrí que podía conseguir la misma oferta reserva directa. Personal la llegada fue tan acogedor, y la opción de sentarse en el restaurante o bar de la zona. Elegimos la zona del bar, ya que podíamos ver toda la actividad en el mercado de pasto. Jarra de agua sirve inmediatamente mientras miramos el menú y originalmente eran ir por el menú fijo de 2 platos en £15 cada uno, además de una botella de vino. La camarera nos hizo conscientes de la oferta de 40 libras de 3 campos para dos personas, incluyendo una botella de vino, que decidimos ir. No me decepcionó en absoluto! ! La comida era deliciosa, el servicio era fantástico y sin duda relación calidad-precio. Así, encontramos gente en el Hebrides Bar y recomendado que vaya allí. Si volveremos? Sin duda. Cuando se piensa lo que se estaría pagando en Edimburgo en el festival para bogotá la comida del bar estándar - sería mucho el mismo pero sin el excelente servicio y calidad de comida.

Amanda en frente de la casa, las necesidades de capacitación en servicio al cliente básico extrema. Habíamos reservado una de las 5 pm. Oferta com pero cuando entramos en el restaurante muy tranquila a pesar de un ajetreado Sábado durante la periferia, nos encontramos con un anfitrión muy distante. Ella no pudo encontrar nuestra reserva, así que nos mandaron al restaurante hermano, ella no se molestó, llamando por ellos. Cuando nos registramos el otro restaurante una señora muy servicial llamado City volver a verificar que no podríamos tener nuestra reserva ya que no ofrecen las 5 pm. oferta Cuando volvimos a la ciudad, otra vez Amanda no era acogedor y/o serviciales. Independientemente de la reserva, rechazar a negocios parece ridiculo no mencionar mal para reputación.

Had a 5pm.com offer - 3 courses including wine for £40. Really really good deal. Good menu choice, very good food.

We booked a table through 5pm for a visit to the Edinburgh Tattoo.The offer was 3 courses & wine for £40, a fantastic offer for Edinburgh.The visit started well, we were taken care of fantastically by a waiter who's name I didn't catch.. (tall chap with glasses)He was welcoming, very efficient and spent time to chat and make us feel comfortable even though he was busy.The food is great value for money, the haggis Bon bons & chicken fillet burger were delicious, the tagliatelle was also fresh and tasty.By the time dessert arrived the restaurant was very busy and the few staff were stretched way too thin. A different waiter hastily gave us the wrong dessert but was away so quick we couldn't even tell him.There were not enough staff, the waiters on service were practically running to keep up. We couldn't get anyone's attention so ate dessert I would never choose nor did I enjoy.We managed to get the bill and politely explained the error. Again the waiter dealt with it perfectly.Unfortunately, as the bill was passed to us we noticed that we weren't given the 5pm offer price, the charge was £5.50 more than advertised.Again the staff were running all over the restaurant and had a show to catch so we just left a smaller tip than normal.This could have been a fantastic experience, just let down by overstretched resources who are frantically trying to keep things afloat. A real shame.

We booked a table through 5pm.com and selected the wine and dine option that offers three course and a bottle of wine to share for two people. Super value. We arrived promptly for our 5:30 reservation and were greeted by I assume the duty manager as he wore a jacket. Table sorted we were offered menus and a jug of tap water was delivered. Great start. The choices for each course we're more than sufficient for even the pickiest of eaters. We went for soup of the day, haggis balls, fish and chips X 2 and a bottle of the house white, an Italian varietal that was very pleasant. The waiter was very enthusiastic and welcoming and we settled in nicely. The restaurant began to fill and we were joined by couples on both sides. Our starters were delivered promptly and were hot and tasty. The mains are delivered just a few minutes after our starter plates were cleared and the fish was resplendent in a crispy light beer batter, just as described, with chips, peas and tartar sauce. Delicious. Again, plates were cleared and we were offered menus to choose desert. Ice cream with almonds and chocolate sauce and a strawberry panna cotta were easy choices. There was a welcome 10 minute respite before these were delivered and deliver they did. Lovely ice cream and a strawberry desert to die for. Given my gushing review thus far you may wonder why I liken the experience to a curate's egg. Whilst our experience and that of the couple to my left was all that could be expected, the same could not be said for the couple to my right. They were attending a show so had obvious time constraints. Their food was delayed unreasonably and when it did arrive the reaction suggested something was not right. Whilst my wife used the facilities I asked for the bill and the chap with the jacket placed the bill within a wallet on the table and I put £45 cash within this. When my wife left the toilet I saw her approach a member of staff and when she rejoined me she reported that the toilets were in an awful state with faecal matter very obvious within cubicles 2 and 4. We left the table with the cash in the wallet and the chap with the jacket entered from the serving area and we thanked him for looking after us and indicated we had settled the bill at the table. After we left the hotel we ambled up the Grassmarket only to be accosted by a member of staff who had another copy of the bill in his hand and accused us of leaving without payment. He seemed reasonably satisfied when we told him the money was on the table. We had not seen this gentleman before and as far as I am aware he had no part in our service during the meal. It left my wife and I with a rather bitter taste in our mouths. In summary, the quality of food, value for money and service are hard to beat. The devil is however in the detail and I will not return to a place where I have been accused of being a cheat and I have some reservation about how fellow customers were treated and the hygiene in the ladies toilet.

My friend and I came in on a 5pm deal of 3 courses each and a bottle of wine. Very good value for money and the food was lovely with a varied menu to choose from. Staff were few due to absence and illness but the ones we had looked after us well.

Very impressed with the warm welcome we received from Robert who catered to the needs of the 4 year old who was with us providing colour in fun items etc. The food was excellent & the service from all was great. We live locally and this is a fantastic place to meet family & friends for drinks or a great meal. Thank you everyone. We will certainly be back.

We went for a late evening meal after seeing an offer for their fixed menu.The fixed price is for 3 courses including wine for £40 which seems incredible value for Edinburgh and at the weekend.The options on the menu are fairly good with starters including soup or haggis among others and the mains including pasta, fish, chicken and steak dinners.The house red wine is also exceptionally good.

We visited the restaurant while we stayed at Apex City; a perfect place for a breakfast and a lunch; the bar is excellent too. I am sure the dinner would be good too we just preferred to have dinners other places. Highly recommended.

This is the restaurant in the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel where we stayed last week. Ate here on the last evening of our holiday and it was the best. I can recommend the deconstructed strawberry cheesecake!

Always a pleasure at Agua Apex hotel... great service!

The prix fixe menu here (3 courses, £20) is a stone-cold bargain. At full a la carte prices - mmmm, not sure. 5 starters, 1 unavailable and another 3 containing allergens for me; 6 main courses, of which I had the sea bream and lentils - yum. 5 puddings, all quite cream-based, plus a cheese board with a £2 supplement. Even with 2 of us tackling it, the tiramisu was unfinished - strangely heavy but also overly creamy and not coffee-y enough. (Horrible coffee afterwards!). So, in a 3 course meal, my favourite thing was the lentils - I would never have predicted that. If you're not a monstrously fussy eater, it's probably fine. If you're me - a tiny bit disappointing. HOWEVER - really delightful service, attentive but not pushy, so I sort-of recommend it but with caveats. .

We booked a table here last minute on Easter Sunday. We ate from the fixed price menu, £20 for three courses. The good was really nice, loved the haggis Bon bons! Restaurant was very quiet. The service was top class-the Canadian waiter was super friendly and so efficient. Will definetly be back.

Anna our waitress was very friendly, the surroundings were busy, the food was lovely, I had the scone of the week which were vanilla & chocolate served with cream & jam, it was great value for the money.

Dined here Sunday night with my husband and even though its in a hotel there was no resturant feel at all to it, the staff were setting up for breakfast whilst we were eating, food limited not much choice and what i wanted they had none even though there was only 1 other table eating, had the fish...no taste..chips not cooked properly, only 1 choice of wine, which the waiter just poured, should have let us taste it 1st, the only good thing about the whole meal was the soup, and i think that was Heinz tinned not home made. Overall poor setting, poor service and dismal food, would not advise people to eat here, find a takeaway instead.

Second time around for fixed price menu...WOW.. Attentive service, first class food presented in 1st class manner... delicious! Compliments to staff and chef...!

Went to the agua as we were staying at the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel, this is the fourth time we have been here and usually lots of choice, good service etc. Today we were given a set christmas menu with no chance of changing it - even though the people next to us had the full menu. When i queried this we were told "it was because you hadnt booked". We have never had to do this before and were really disappointed. Its a shame that we wont be goig back.

We visited this restaurant for a family meal. The fixed price menu was excellent value and I find it hard to understand why the place isn't busier.

Das Essen war sehr gut, der Service absolut freundlich. Die Auswahl ist nicht besonders gross, aber sehr auserwählt.

Je n'ai que déjeuné dans cet hôtel très luxueux au centre de Edinbourgh en voyage organisé.La cuisine y est raffinée de type Française auquel vous n'aurez le droit qu'à un seul petit pain. Quelle frustration !Toutefois je recommande si avez peu faim et que vous n'aimez pas le pain.

We visited here after we bought a voucher for 2 courses, food was incredible but the restaurant was quite empty. Only 6 other diners in the whole place which was a shame as the food was delicious and great value for money. Hope business picks up for this restaurant.

Having eaten at 2 other Apex restaurants in Edinburgh and had a good experience thought we would try Agua. Booked a table for lunch in restaurant as it was Festival time and thought it would be busy.When we arrived were told restaurant was reserved for a large group so were sat in bar in front of large television screen - not the restaurant ambience despite booking. If they had fully booked the restaurant why did they accept our booking?Ordered sparkling mineral water but still was delivered so sent back. The food itself was good. When bill came had been overcharged so had to ask for a new bill. By the time we left there was no sign of a large group arriving for the restaurant.Overall good food spoilt by poor service and ambience.

Good choices on the menu and a good wine list. Available were bar menu, set menu and a la carte. Delicious!

We arrived in a group of 15 (pre-booked) for the fixed price menu (£10.95 for two courses). The group were warmly welcomed with a complimentary bread and oil starter appetiser. Table water on the table and drinks ordered quickly and efficiently.I had the pressed pork and black pudding balls to start and the braised beef cheek for main - both were presented in first class style and tasted just as good.A nice wait or around 15 minutes in-between starter and main which was perfect for some time to chat. At the end of our meal we were given a small taster of a cocktail each in a shot glass and the bride to be a glass of champagne.I would definitely go back to this restaurant and would happily pay more for the 2 courses - true value for money here - highly recommended.

We visited Agua with our friends as part of a groupon deal; £45 per couple for a 3 course a la carte meal and a bottle of wine. We were warmly welcomed, and sat at our table along a bank of ultra modern seating, teetering over the edge of high end, stylish bistro/ cafe furniture, in a dark wood and deep mustard colour scheme with nods to 60's decor - I loved it!!The menu was plentiful and various, our table got for starters: goats cheese and truffle terrine, trio smoked salmon, and 2 x something and black pudding. All arrived at just the right time, we hadn't waited too long nor indeed did they appear immediately. All presented beautifully and all tasty. My only negative of the whole evening was the goats cheese and truffle terrine, it was lovely inside but there was a thick round layer of butter on the outside; now before I'm shot down in flames I know terrines by definition often have a 'layer' around them; I just felt with the richness of the cheese coupled with the butter it was all a bit too rich, unnecessary and dare I say 'fatty'?For mains, beef cheeks (stunningly rich and soft), 2x chorizo and Prawn linguine (heavenly) and I can't remember the other dish. But suffice to say if polite company and etiquette allowed we'd have all licked our plates!!! The same applies in terms of service everything arrived 'just on time' served by a lovely Spanish waiter, who was informed, friendly and professional.Desserts; we opted for one of each, so we could all taste t'others. Tiramisu, sticky toffee pudding, pear and bramble crumble and a lemon posset. I don't do deserts btw!! Well nothing went back to the kitchen ... so beautifully presented and the perfect portion size for me. The loos were really nice and spotlessly clean. Just a really nice experience, yes would defo go back next time we're in Edinburgh. And yes I'd recommend it to friends (uh oh I can't they were with us!!!).

Wine & Dine £45 for 3 courses for two people which includes a bottle of wine. Kids also eat free for hotel guests and their food is as good quality as the adults. The breakfasts are also very good with a cold buffet selection and hot food to order. An excellent evening meal and breakfast and I cannot recommend enough.

Compartimos un risoto de rape, pato y de postre un lemon posset. La materia prima buena, y bien tratada. Es cocina internacional, con sabor, y con un toque Mediterráneo.La atención muy buena. La de todo el staff, pero en especial la atención en español de Veronica. Buenas carta de whiskys. Buen café. Y buena relación calidad precio.

Took my mum for her Birthday £39 for 3 Course meal for 2 with a bottle of wine. Food was absolutely gorgeous, main course pasta better than any Italian Restaurant I've been in. Absolute gem of a place with really lovely staff. Thank you to our lovely server who went out his way to charge my phone for me at Reception. Great wee place

I have been there with my family, 2 kids, and we have all been satisfied. We had salmon, three varieties, and then the fish and chips or the pork belly both quite good. The staff extremely friendly helped also with a special burger for my son. Recommended

From the second we entered the restaurant until the 2nd we left we received top class service along with some of the best food I have honestly ever tasted. The quality, presentation and taste of the food was simply second to none and the price was extremely reasonable indeed. We also had a bottle of the house wine which was one of the nicest house wines I have tasted. The restaurant is very trendy in decor which I loved. Highly recommend this restaurant - you

Slow breakfast service. I was made to wait five minutes for a table then my order was forgotten. I was in the restaurant for 35 minutes and had a cup of coffee

Went here on a deal through 5pm.Friendly service on arrival and throughout meal.Food was excellent and lovely wine. Will return!!!

We had monkfish with risotto and pork belly. Both lovely, well presented.For dessert we had the lemon posset and chocolate-coconut icecream, both lovely too!

Opted for the set price pre theatre menu with wine...3 courses which were all lovely - excellent value. Staff ordered us a taxi to take us to the theatre as we are not too familiar with Edinburgh. To be recommened

We choose to have all our breakfasts and one dinner at Agua restaurant whilst staying at Apex Grassmarket. The service was very good and the food of high quality.

We visited here on a Saturday night on a 5pm wine and dine offer (£39 for two people having a 3 course meal from a fixed menu and a bottle of house wine). From the minute we entered we were treated like royalty. The staff were lovely and couldn't do enough for us. The restaurant itself was very modern and beautifully decorated.Sometimes on a fixed price menu you can feel that you are getting a lower standard of food than normal but this was certainly not the case in Agua Restaurant. The food was beautifully presented and tasted divine. I don't think I've ever had such pretty food and the taste definitely matched the presentation. I can highly recommend the trio of salmon starter, the caramelised beef cheek main and the tiramisu dessert that I had but all of the dishes look amazing. We had a bottle of house rose and it was a lovely wine.I will definitely return to Agua and have been raving about our meal to my friends.

Came here for a birthday meal. Fantastic service from Jackie and Juan can't fault them in any way they went the extra mile. The chef personalised the desert with a sparkler and happy birthday written on with icing. The food was amazing compliments to the chef. Only thing that spoiled it for me was a manager (beard) telling a member of staff off near the bar. Things like that should be done out of public view. We Had a fantastic evening thanks for the great service. Will be back again .

經過了一天的城市文化洗禮之後，疲憊的就近挑了飯店樓下的這間餐廳，原本不抱太大的期望，只希望填飽肚子就好，方便明天早起前往蘇格蘭高地繼續旅遊，但是簡單的三道菜，卻讓我及我夫人警喜連連⋯⋯自信也是嘗遍各地美食的我們，對此家餐廳留下良好回憶!價錢合理、擺盤食材用心、服務亦大推，值得愛吃美食的你們一尋！

A comida servida nesse local eh de excelente qualidade. Pratos lindos e super saborosos, nao tao baratos, mas vale a pena. Abiente bem agradavel tambem!

Restaurante no lobby do hotel , com ótimo atendimento além de uma comida gostosa . O preço não é barato como tudo na Escócia mas está na média

We first visited here in October 2015 using a 5pm offer and were very impressed with everything. The food is lovely and beautifully presented and the surroundings are very modern and comfortable. We decided to return today for lunch, hoping that it would be as good as dinner was previously and we were not disappointed!The staff are really friendly and we will definitely return again soon.

This was our second visit to the restaurant and the food and service were as excellent this time as they were the first. Many thanks to Vinni for his excellent service. We'll definitely be back.

Second visit with my wife and the welcome was fantastic (again). Food and service are second to none. Many thanks to Vinni for his first class service. Very nice to to return to a restaurant and the service and food is as excellent as the first time.

Found this restaurant from a website "after 5pm" great deals to be had from here. Rang ahead to say I'd be late- no trouble. Juan gave excellent service throughout the evening and I've to say he's an assett to the hotel and perhaps is overlooked. Is be biased! Food is great from start to finish no complaints at all not one fault could be found. I'd recommend the two dine offer for 3 course plus btle wine menu at £39!!Dessert to die for. Will visit agsin

What can I say about the Agua? Nothing negative at all! We were very impressed with the food which was of extremely good quality. The service was excellent with very professional and friendly waiters. I can't wait to go back again when next visiting Edinburgh.

Came across this restaurant through an online offer. Booked through website. Arrived and staff were very helpful, showing us to a table and taking our drinks order. Some nibbling bread was brought to our table; excellent! The waiter arrived to take our orders and give recommendations. The food arrived quickly, the waiter was attentive to top up our wine glasses as and when required. All in all a very pleasant meal and place to visit. Definitely recommended!

From the delicious goats cheese starter to the Christmas pudding cheese cake, our meal here was fantastic! The dumplings on the seasonal menu were gorgeous!! All the staff were friendly (even the big tiger in the entrance was looking festive!) 5 stars - great value for money and amazing food! :)

They couldn't fit us in the actual restaurant, so we ate in the bar which was fine and appreciated as we didn't have a booking. the food was not cheap and not great. Not a good combo. My steak was thin like a schnitzel which was a bit off putting, not sure why they would hammer a decent piece of steak? Perhaps it wasn't a decent piece of steak... It tasted ok however. Pepper sauce was too peppery for me (too many pepper corns) but this may have just been my taste, as I like to taste the steak, not have the sauce dominate.Waitress was great.

Brill meal didn't expect such a good meal or good service from staff but everything was top class would go back

Quite simply stay at the Apex but take advantage of the range of independent restaurants just across the road. For the mediocre food this is a real disapointment and drinks are expensive. Much better for the same price just steps away

Lovely meal with the hilife card which worked out pretty cheap. Great food, recommend chicken lollipops to start and slow cooked beef cheek. restaurant a bit odd in décor- no windows our end. But lovely service, great food and reasonably priced drinks meant I would definitely come back again.

Had a late lunch for 17 people in the Agua Restaurant and everything from food to the surroundings and service was just excellent. Already at the booking stage they were extremely accommodating with all our special requests, nothing was too much trouble. The restaurant itself was very nicely decorated, service during the meal could not be faulted and the food was not only presented well but also tasted fabulous! No-one in our group had anything negative to say about the experience - particularly well done as we have some fusspots amongst us! Thank you for making our celebrations so special!

I thought my fiancé here for his birthday. We had the £39 deal which consisted of a three course meal each and a bottle of wine. The red wine was excellent. Each course that we ordered was absolutely amazing. Especially our main course of beef cheek. Stunning food. Nice atmosphere and the staff were very attentive. We will definitely be back.

we thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal in this restaurant, my wife and I both had the battered fish and chips which was well-cooked, very tasty, and very well-presented. the service was excellent , surroundings very nice , toilets modern and clean.

Stunning food. Lovely atmosphere. Krzysztof and Alvaro attended to all our needs. Fantastic. Highly recommended.

Got a fantastic reception on arrival as Robert offered us the wine from our wine and dine deal at the bar area before going through to eat our meal. Took our time to eat three amazing courses with the desert personalised with happy birthday written on the plate. Veronica and Jacqueline were extremely attentive. Veronica was very helpful in recommending dishes from the menu and is consistently welcoming. Will definitely be back as all of the staff made this a memorable birthday meal. Great food and great service.

We booked a wine and dine deal through 5pm which included 3 courses and a bottles of wine for £40 a couple. I was a little sceptical before we arrived and to be honest didn't expect so much value for the money. Food was to an excellent standard and fresh and you got the feeling the chefs took pride in what they were doing. We both had the black pudding and pork to start followed by the caramelised beef cheeks and chorizo and prawn linguini and both had the chocolate brownie for desert. The deal included a bottle house wine we opted for red and to was nice. Thanks for a great night. We will be sure to be back!

We just had a delicious dinner at Agua restaurant while we were staying in Apex city hotel. This was the nicest dinner we had in Edinburgh. I'd like to say thanks to Veronica for friendly and very professional service. Service was really fast. We had fixed menu for £39 with wine. We had chicken lollies and goat cheese for starter, beef and fish& chips for main dishes, tiramisu and brownie for the desserts. All was very tasty but I must say beef was the winner. And also if you are staying Apex hotel, kids eats free!

We were surprised by the quality of this restaurant in our hotel. Great service and food. Not busy at the time we visited.

We went here on the £39 wine and dine deal. Fantastic value. I had black pudding and pork starter and shrimp and chorizo linguine main with a tirimasiu desert. My partner had minestrone soup the same main and lemon posset desert. Each dish was delicious and fantastic value for Central Edinburgh. The wine was an Italian white which was nice too. Well worth visiting.

Never been that keen on hotel food in the UK but this is a real find. Check out the wine and dine fixed price offer. It is excellent value for money, great location and a lovely ambiance. Even the laid back background music was excellent.

We booked the £10:95 lunch deal via 5pm.com. The staff were very pleasant & the restaurant is bright with some great views of the castle from the bar. There was a complimentary dish of bread sticks , balsamic & a tomato dip . We had two courses . There is an excellent selection of starters & mains. Our food was well presented, hot and fair sized portions. Good find.

My wife and I booked a table here through 5pm.co.uk. well what can I say, fantastic deal, fantastic food and drink and great service. Lovely surroundings and ambiance, very attentive staff and the standard of food was just superb we will definitely be returning here.

Part of a B & B package with an excellent breakfast buffet and off the menu ordering. Perfect wait staff that is even attentive to buffet customers

We were staying in the apex and decided to eat in the hotel 1 evening as they have an offer on of £40 for 2 for a 3 course meal and bottle of house wine.There was about 5 choices for each course which suited us both and we can be fussy. The portions are not huge but was just right for us. The food tasted amazing and would eat here again if in Edinburgh even if I wasn't staying in the apex.The restaurant wasn't that busy I think this is because people think it is more expensive to eat in hotel than going out but this was actually our cheapest and best meal out of the 3 nights.
