Brilliant service and great food. We had Ola as our server, she was friendly, attentive and helpful throughout. The food tasted amazing and the drinks were really nice. We had the Boozy Brunch, it was really good value for money. We would definitely return again.

Fantastic service, delicious food. They will take really good care of any intolerances, especially if you let them know a day in advance! Our waitress, Ola, was really sweet with us and even gave my mum a little card and a chocolate as it was her birthday! Such a good person! Thanks Ola and the B&B team🥰

Been away from home for a week, and this was by far the best meal we've had. Our steaks were excellent and both cooked exactly how we wanted them. A special shout to Michal S, he couldn't have been more attentive to us. Excellent service, excellent food and nit too expensive. The 1 thing I would recommend, go to their own page or phone them direct, 2 days running we went to a booking site by Mozrest and according to them there were no tables available, when actually there were loads of tables empty. I reported this to the staff.

Excellent place. We arrived by chance and entered because we saw they offered a menu at a good price. For a starter we ordered some very delicious chicken wings and for the main we ate what we called a steak and it was very good, they made it with butter and herbs. The accompaniment was some fries. For dessert we ordered the sticky pudding that had been recommended to us and it was something super delicious and memorable. The place is very nice and the service was quite good.

We enjoyed a one night stay in Edinburgh en route to the Highlands. Bar + Block looked like a nice place for our evening meal, and it was very nice food all of the family enjoyed. Marta was a particularly good waitress, very helpful with our questions about the food and most important of all... a smile on her face the entire time. Great place for a meal, great service, a clean restaurant with a nice atmosphere and a bar for a quick cocktail to end the evening. The steaks are recommended if you're a meat lover.

Delicious food and good presentation, but the portions are small and expensive. Nice and central place, what I didn't understand or didn't like is that a promotional menu is advertised on the windows facing the street, you enter and they don't show it to you or it's not available, so it's fake although the taquitos were good and quite expensive, at least I already knew it

A recent visit was disappointing. The food is nothing special and to charge £25.50 + £2 for a small steak and peppercorn sauce is ridiculous. There is no attempt at presentation even some greenery on the plate would help make the dish look a bit better. Steaks were tasty but had a lot of fat , chips nothing special and served in dish with large chip on rim, peppercorn sauce very thin and runny. Wine advertised on menu as 12.5% but actually only 10.5% so really need to change this on menu. Waitress was very nice and attentive so thank you. Better steaks to be had at places like Indigo Yard and The Black Ivy for not much more money. Have a look at the photos from Black Ivy to see difference.

Ribeye steak tasteless and tough! Expensive for what you get, ribeye was not cooked rare as I had asked it was a medium. Pepper sauce you pay £2 for a tiny little milk jug of pepper sauce! (Costa give you a bigger jug for the milk with your tea than this pepper sauce) Staff were fantastic and very friendly I love my steaks so I probably won't go again.

Stayed in attached hotel but spent more time in bar + block. Service was great, on the ball and looked after us on 5 different visits over the weekend. 1st visit was for just drinks, good choice available and bar staff were happy and friendly. 2nd visit was for evening meal, i had a lovely tasting burger etc, the other 3 in our party enjoyed their meals and left clean plates. 3rd visit was for breakfast, great choice again, fresh fruit, hot cooked and a variety of drinks. 4th visit was for a family meet up, we reserved a table for just drinks but spent a couple of hours there. Looked after by the friendly waiting staff. 5th visit was for breakfast again, which set us up for the day. Our weekend stay in Edinburgh was help to be made memorable by bar + block, thank you, we will be back.

I went here yesterday for a nice meal with my friend, once seated we sat and chatted and didn't even open the drink menu. Our waiter for the night asked us what we wanted to drink, my friend ordered and I said I wasn't sure yet and that I'm not having alcohol. The waiter proceeded to ask me why I'm not drinking alcohol, which I think was completely inappropriate due to the plethora of personal reasons it could have possibly been. I brushed it off and said because I don't want to as quite frankly it's none of his business. He then suggested a drink, a popstar martini and listed all the ingredients in it except the alcohol. Bearing in mind I hadn't looked at the drink menu so I didn't know this was just a regular cocktail. I said okay to the drink order because as far as both me and my friend heard, it didn't contain alcohol. He then comes back to the table with two glasses of prosecco which we never asked for. I thought this was weird as he clearly acknowledged I wasn't drinking. Then he brought our drinks over and I was sipping it and I made my friend try it as I was convinced it had alcohol in it. She then asked the waiter what was in the drink and he said vodka in the list of other ingredients. I was trying to replay back the conversation to see if I had missed anything. But both my friend and I cannot recall him ever saying the drink he suggested had alcohol in it when he listed the ingredients. My friend then drank the rest of the drink and I ordered a soft bottled drink as I had lost any trust in this waiter. After that moment the waiter kept his interactions very short and blunt whereas before he seemed to linger and flirt hence the complimentary prosecco he brought us. The food was delicious but unfortunately one person let down my experience. I just don't understand why someone wouldn't respect my choice of having a non alcoholic drink after very clearly acknowledging I had said that by asking why. It's wildly unprofessional and it was really frustrating. It was one of your tall male waiters working dinner on Sunday the 16th of February. I'm sure he knows exactly who he is.

I was pleasantly surprised with the Bar+Block Steakhouse. I thought this was a hotel restaurant but it certainly can stand on its own. The quality of the food was very good. I tried the Steak Sampler, which included 3 different types of steak. Each cut was very tasty and well prepared. The atmosphere was also very nice and the staff was very friendly. I will go back for sure and I would recommend this to anyone looking to have some good steak.

the Manager doesn't know how to be a manager, there were 25 of us, he asks to pay a single account, he doesn't accept separate accounts and therefore according to him it's normal for someone to have to pay more than £400 by card and then bend over backwards to get the percentage from the other diners...

Amos has to be the most friendly and welcoming waiter in the UK, always happy to meet you and offer any advice needed. With it being Christmas time it was extremely busy and all employees were extremely busy. We had the ribeye steak which was perfectly done and chips and sauce to accompany it. My only criticism of Bar and Block is that they could do with a few more different choices of steak sauces. Well done guys and thank you.

Not a pleasant experience. Out with friends for a Christmas Day out. We chose the festival menu which was pre ordered . Main meal came before any drinks. Not asked if we would like a starter or sides. Waiters were buzzing past and wouldn’t make eye contact in case we asked for anything. And I did leave hungry as you can imagine the portion.
