Cranston's Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

We had pre-booked an evening meal for our Ruby Wedding Anniversary while staying at the Old Waverley Hotel. I had requested a table with a view if possible and we had a corner table in the window with a view of Edinburgh Castle and the Scott Memorial. There is a fixed price menu (3 courses for £24.95) with about 4 choices for each course. My husband & I both had the same choices: Garlic Chilli King Prawn Bruschetta served with rustic bread, tomato, basil, salsa, mix leaves & lemon wedge Chicken Prosciutto on a bed of creamed potatoes with mixed vegetables Scottish Cheese Platter served with chutney, cheese biscuits & grapes We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the food was well presented and tasty, and the service was efficient and friendly. We enjoyed our breakfasts as well, tea & coffee brought to the table and the hot/cold buffet with cooked breakfast (including haggis), choice of juices, toast, cereals, yogurt, fruit compote, fresh fruit and croissants.

We were resident at this hotel for 2 nights and ate at Cranston's within the hotel on both nights. Restaurant overlooks the Scott monument and Old town skyline. Great setting. The staff on both evenings were really very nice and professional. I had the roast lamb rump on both occasions. Absolutely delicious!

Morning breakfast here was included in the hotel rate. It was a great buffet. The restaurant was clean and well staffed. The window tables are the best for a view of the park.

Booked for friend’s birthday lunch we had 3 course with 250ml glass of wine included table overlooking Scott’s Monument food was wholesome and service excellent before we went through for lunch had a drink staff there were consistent with service would highly recommend.

We came up from Florida for a family wedding and rented a VRBO condo in Cranston. Fell in love with the area and the Good Earth coffee and deli. Sitting on their porch drinking a iced coffee enjoying this amazing weather. Highly recomended

Great hot choices of Eggs, Beans, Hash Browns and the wonderful warm Haggis. Good selection of cereals, juices and breads too. The only downside is that breakfast can become repetitive after a few days, but what they do, they do well.

I think the cooking here is excellent - carefully cooked, fresh ingredients, clever ideas but not overly fussed. Heartfelt cooking instead of showy. Excellent wine list. Lovely room and views.

Group of 9 had lunch yesterday. Very good food and service in beautiful surroundings looking out on to Princes Street gardens and the Scot Monument. Great value for money with choice of 3 starters, mains and desserts with option for 1, 2 or 3 courses.

I came here with my family as it was across the street from the winter carnival near my hotel. It was cold and we were desperate for food so we chose this as it was the closest restaurant available. When we entered, there was only one waiter, and he was relatively friendly. So once we got seated at the table the first thing we noticed were these small decorations on the table, which you can open and you are given a paper crown, a joke, and a useless fact. Moving on to the food, there wasn't much to order on the restaurant menu, and for some reason there was more food in the bar menu than the restaurant menu. The prices were also above average however the food portions definitely made up for it. (My family couldn't finish our individual meals) But while the portions were large, the food was only average. There is one major issue with this restaurant though - it is that we waited over an hour for our main course. We almost fell asleep at the table for waiting for so long. There were only about 4 tables, and 2 of those tables had already started eating by the time my family ordered our food. We were also given bread, however it was dry, tasteless, and stale. Seeds on top of my piece of bread were falling all over the table, plate, and I'm sure some even fell onto the floor. However, from my personal experience, ignoring my family, my meal wasn't too bad, but it wasn't very good either. I had ordered a beef pie, and the beef inside the pie was so hot that even after 5 minutes of waiting for the food to cool down I still burnt my tongue on the beef. Although this restaurant isn't the best restaurant, it does its job as a restaurant and delivers food with a relatively friendly staff.

First time we had dined here, meeting and old friend back in my home town of Edinburgh. Restaurant well situated with views of castle and Walter Scott Monument. Table excellent. Dining room, with original features and superb cornicing, relatively quiet so got a good table by window. Service excellent. Staff could not have been nicer. Food traditional Christmas meal. Good portion sizes. This experience was suited to an older client group, but for an authentic traditional Edinburgh experience, it was second to none and good value. We will definitely return. Highly recommended.

I had booked a table well in advance but we were not given a table by front window despite restaurant being only half full. The service was very slow and I had to request bill several times. The food was reasonable but small portions for 2 out of 3 diners.

Decided to have the sandwiches for three people as we didn't need a full meal. The choice was very good and the sandwiches were excellent, fresh and plentiful. Had a very enjoyable lunch in the lounge bar.Decided to have the sandwiches for three people as we didn't need a full meal.

My teenage son and his two friends reserved a table at Cranston’s on Saturday the 7th and traveled down to Edinburgh at considerable expense. Having arrived, they were met by one of the staff who simply refused to let them in. The man in question was extremely rude and showed completely unacceptable behaviour refusing entry and telling my son that he was not interested in “playing games”. My son explained that he placed a reservation but the man continued to be rude so the three left to eat elsewhere, frustrated and upset. We are still unclear as to the real reason as to why they were not admitted and felt it was nothing more than discrimination against young adults; which I find disgusting. On returning home I phoned the restaurant and spoke to 2 gentlemen who both told me they were the manager. I relayed the incident to them, both stated that neither had been on duty yet neither sought to apologise. Both managers said they would call me back before Monday evening - neither did - Avoid this restaurant - not because of the food but because of how disgustingly rude the staff are .... Peter

Excellent food, very good menu and the service was very good, well worth the visit , even if you don't stay in the Hotel.

On positives, my steak was cooked perfectly and the waitress was lovely. I really didn’t realise there were still such old fashioned places. Food generally poor, under cooked swede mixed with overcooked pork and green peppers, not a combination I have experienced. Creamy whiskey sauce, nowadays, honestly. Industrial cheeses. Great view, all be it with no atmosphere. Cheap and cheerful but if this is the aim, there are better, more “with it” chain options and that is a disappointment. Somebody needs to rattle the cage and put this great site on the map for all the right reasons. Currently whoever owns this is a disgrace to the staff working for them.

I had breakfast here three mornings. Awful, cold and bland, with stale croissants, and dry reheated food. Unfriendly, staff.

Tuvimos un estupendo té aquí para mi madre 70th cumpleaños.

charming dinning room - only had breakfast here but it was good and had several choices at the buffet

Al visitar Edimburgo por un día en Yorkshire, cuando me encontré con un amigo de Glasgow para almorzar, me dieron la tarea de sugerir un lugar. Bueno, ¿deberían comenzar? ¿Recuerdo haber ido a este hotel de regreso? ? con la familia, un encantador hotel en Princess Street muy práctico para la estación de Waverley. Un 'Google' más tarde más una llamada telefónica y nos reservamos para el almuerzo, que estoy seguro sería la última sesión a las 2 pm.

Het is mogelijk om hier te eten als je niet in het bijbehorende hotel verblijft. Het personeel was echter een beetje verbaasd toen ik vroeg of ik hier kon dineren. Het restaurant was erg stil, er waren maar drie andere gasten en deze waren allemaal wat ouder. Het uitzicht over de Princes street is heel mooi, en de inrichting van het restaurant is dat ook. Omdat het echter zo rustig is in het restaurant, is het niet echt sfeervol. De immer aanwezige ober begon op een gegeven moment ook op mijn zenuwen te werken.

Pasé 4 noches en el hotel y desayunamos y cenamos allí cada día. La comida me pareció deliciosa y muy sabrosa. Queso escocés disponible. La habitación es "tradicional", luminosa y bien ventilada, con excelentes vistas si puedes conseguir un asiento junto a la ventana. El personal no podría haber sido más amable y servicial. Sin embargo, tenga en cuenta que si tiene problemas de movilidad, solo hay escaleras desde el nivel de la calle hasta el restaurante.

Cranstons is a really lovely Restaurant in the Old Waverley Hotel, excellent location near Waverley Station on Princess Street, many steps to climb so not suitable for anyone with mobility problems. however the restaurant is traditional and elegant, wonderful atmosphere, fantastic food made with excellent local produce, sit by the window for a beautiful view of the flood lit castle and Old Town, extensive bar, with more Whiskies than I knew existed, staff very friendly and helpful, Stay at the hotel, then not far to crawl home after all those Whiskies, and a wonderful day in Edinburgh.! really recommended

Three course meal, reasonable price, well cooked. I had steak, which was excellent, Mum had succulent salmon.

We travelled to Edinburgh on a steam special. We didn't have a lot of time in Edinburgh so chose a restaurant near Waverley Station. First impressions weren't brilliant - the restaurant is in the Old Waverley Hotel, slightly old fashioned - and for some reason the staff wanted to seat us in the bar even though we'd booked. Perhaps because it was almost 2 pm when we arrived.The food, though, was superb. I started with refreshing melon slices with fruit; my husband had a substantial helping of smoked salmon. We both ordered swordfish, they'd run out so offered salmon or haddock. Both were delicious, with perfectly cooked veg. Excellent coffee, and 2 courses for £9.95 - with good views of the Scoot monument too.

Teníamos reservado el Hotel Old Waverley con oferta de cena en el restaurante del Hotel. Os sorprendió su calidad y buena presentación de los platos. Excelente el entrecot con un suplemento de 3.5 libras. Postres muy buenos y servicio amable y atento. Nos dieron mesa en la esquina con vista al monumento de Sir Walter Scott. Buen sitio para cenar mereció la pena el reservar con cena

Breakfast here was filling and the choices were plentiful. Ask for a seat overlooking Prince's street and watch Edinburgh come to life.Servers are polite and friendly.

Have only been for lunch in the restaurant (always had the nice corner window table). The food is excellent quality and value. Service is good and staff very pleasant. Only complaint is that it is generally v v quiet in the restaurant so lacks atmosphere.

Abbiamo prenotato per l' afternoon tea che viene servito nella zona bar con vista sul castello e sui giardini di Princess street. Costi buoni. Scelta di un tramezzini a testa, selezione di gradevoli pasticcini e buoni scones con marmellata.

Great eating out experience. Lovely food and great helpful staff. Xmas menu was delicious too. We will be backxx

excellent lunch menu and really good value for money and lots to choose from. Patryk was out server and he was very attentive and friendly so much so that we ended up booking another overnight for December when the Christmas market is close by.

We stayed at Old Waverley Hotel for the weekend and had breakfast here both days. The breakfast consisted of cereal, toast, yoghurts, fruits and everything you need for a full English/Scottish (including Haggis). The food was lovely and plentiful and the restaurant was clean, tidy and spacious enough.

Bell'ambiente , raffinato e con vista eccezionale sulla città vecchia. Menù un po' limitato ma cibo buono .

Excellent breakfast. Can be busy.There is competition for a table in the window areas because of the view.Well prepared dinners.

Great breakfast with lovely tea. The staff are very good at making sure you have all you need. Will be back

I stay here with work and it's so central for meetings, staff very friendly and helpful. Food very good. Rooms comfortable and clean.

Adequate choice,nice meal,good prompt service.Convenient.Portions generous,price reasonable.Menu next day was slightly different then retuned to the menu on my first night

2 courses for 21.50...if the food was good then no problem with the price even though it was high, it is hotel pricing. But the fish was absolutely tasteless...and the starters were awful, had what was supposed to be a shrimp salad and it was basically mayonnaise with some bits of something in it...couldn't tell if it was shrimp or another mystery ingredient.

We have been travelling in Italy and France since early April. We were very happy tonight to sit in the corner window at Cranston's and enjoy a really good meal. Sauces were well made and complemented the fish and meat. Vegetables were included and were fresh and varied. Cost was reasonable. Service attentive and courteous. A very much appreciated meal. Thank you.

When we checked in it was 7:45 PM. The restaurant serves until 9:00 PM so we felt it was OK to order if we could be finished by 9:00. The waiter was barely interested in us and seemed tired and consumed with cleaning the tables and room. The food was good. I would not recommend going there after 7 PM or near closing.

Staff were lovely but no atmosphere and very average food. Limited menu and overpriced for what you get. I won't be dining here again.

Had been looking forward to afternoon tea. Good selection and pleasant service but the food was not great. Smoked salmon was poor quality with stringy bits - needed trimmed. Similar story with the ham. Bread seemed to have been left out as it was hard not fresh. The strawberry tarts were soggy and collapsed when trying to lift to the plate Below standard expected of this venue. Maybe we got it on a bad day

I have lived in Edinburgh for almost 30 years and only found this restaurant in the Old Waverley Hotel last year. It is a hidden gem! Cranstons is on the 1st floor corner with fab views over Princes street. About half full when we went for lunch but felt very relaxing as no pressure to vacate table. Fixed price lunch menu is very good value and though the choice is not huge, the 2 meals I have had here were excellent. As a recently diagnosed Coeliac I had emailed before hand to inform chef I needed gluten free meal and was appreciative of being given a menu which clearly showed GF items and chef also gave me a different sauce with my chicken and the GF bread was very nice too. Only criticism would be dessert limited to cheese for me but this is not unusual in many restaurants.

Visited Friday evening. There were no other dinners except us (which should have been a warning!) therefore no atmosphere and we were in and out in 45 minutes and the food was average at best (The side order of 'chips' we're in fact frozen fries, which arrived 5 minutes after receiving our meal after having to remind the waiter). We were taken to the restaurant by someone from the front desk and told to 'sit down' before he swiftly left. Throughout the entire meal the single waiter created some background music in the form of the din he was making from clearing crockery and cutlery from other tables presumably in preparation for breakfast, this just sealed our fear that there was obviously going to be no other dinners attending. Would definitely not recommend and won't be returning. Disappointed!

Have just stopped two nights at the Old Waverley and will certainly go back ! The restaurant has breathtaking views of the Scot Monument the castle and Princes Street , the food is absolutely wonderful the service is top notch and all at sensible prices . This place is ideal for everyone of all ages ! Absolutely brilliant !

Excellent, food, good service, friendly staff, beautiful Victorian Hotel, in the centre of Edinburgh.

The scampi and chips were nice but the curry of the day - spinach chicken - should've just been called spinach chicken stew as there wasn't a hint of curry or spice. The staff were good though

what a beautiful restaurant, a beautiful interior, nice staff and good food at the right price, the buffet breakfast is a must with so much variety, and of course great views of Princess Street.I highly recommend it.

A well appointed restaurant serving good food well cooked and presented by friendly, helpful staff but booking is advised as it is not as large as many modern hotels

Had dinner here last night at a table with great views. Couldn't fault food of whichwe both chose the steak which was cooked to perfection with a great pepper sauce. Service was very good and attentive without being obsessive. There were a few tables occupied but there was a quiet atmosphere. Have to say that based on our visit they deserve more customers to give it a try which will improve the ambiance.

Very good but dinner menu doesn't change much from visit to visit. Staff extremely friendly and helpful

This is the restaurant of the Waverley Hotel on Princes St, and both are accessed by stairs from a door at ground level (there is a lift). The restaurant is on the first floor, occupying the corner facing Princes St and the famous Jenners department store (House of Fraser). We booked here for 8.30pm on the last night of the Festival, when there is a big firework display at 9.30 in Princes St gardens. We hoped to be given a table with a good view.When we arrived we had a drink in the bar and said we were eating in the restaurant. It was all rather quiet and I was a bit puzzled that we were not asked for our names. We were shown into the restaurant and given the prime corner table with just the view we wanted. They didn't need our names as we were the only couple that had booked - we ate in solitary splendour! The menu was quite OK - we both chose duck, and from the size of the portions, the chef obviously decided to hand out all that he had prepared between the two of us. He knew no-one else was coming.The view of the fireworks was excellent, but the display goes on for a long time, and with tables for breakfast being set all around us we eventually felt we ought to settle the bill and go before the end of the display (though we saw the rest from Princes St, which was not as crowded as we expected). So the meal was OK, reasonable value, but there was no atmosphere and the staff were obviously keen to go by 10pm. Not sure why it was so empty - presumably there were a good few guests in the hotel, but the only ones we saw were finishing their meal as we arrived.

Having a couple of hours to spare before getting the train, I decided that I would try this restaurant as I had stayed earlier in the year at the hotel. The previous time it had been fine: super room and good though ordinary, English breakfast.This time I went for dinner and was bitterly disappointed. I had a cauliflower soup which could have been any vegetable, it was so tasteless; steak which attracted a £3.50 supplement and which was tough, and served with chips, a whole roasted tomato and red wine jus. I told the waiter that it was tough but he wasn't interested.The whole menu is boring and for the price of £25.45, plus drinks which were of a normal price, I felt really cheated. It was way below the standard I would have expected and I could have made this at home for £5, so very overpriced.I have written twice to complain to the managerial staff but have still not had the courtesy of a reply, not good.Front of house staff in reception is superb, their managers need to learn from them.Sorry, will never eat here again as I could have walked a little further and had a good meal for much less.

The quality of the food at dinner was, for a hotel, exceptional. And the 'paid in advance' fixed price cost of £19.95 per person was great value

I feel sorry for the staff at this hotel/restaurant. They work, easily, 12 hour shifts, 6 or 7 days a week. They do their best, but the food is mediocre and overpriced. It's worth it to grab an umbrella and walk a few blocks to a "real" restaurant/pub.

We have eaten there before and always found the food, ambience, service and views to be excellent and our most recent visit didn't disappoint. We were surprised to see that we were the only diners there but it was early, 6 pm., as we were due to attend a concert at the Playhouse that evening. Cannot fault the place - although the menu is limited, the food was excellent and well served by a very attentive, but not intrusive, waiter.Thoroughly recommended. Have booked again for next week!

The Old Waverley hotel has clearly been updated since my last visit. Decor wise it looked very plush. We were greeted warmly. Staff were attentive but not invasive. We were seated at window overlooking Scott monument. Fabulous view - prime people watching position. We ate from a set menu - 3 courses incl half bottle of wine for ,'£15.95. Warmed bread rolls and a carafe of water arrived while we waited. This really is tremendous value for money. As my husband put it .- he paid that amount for a soft drink and meal in Nandos. And nobody places a napkin on your lap in Nandos! Tempted not to review this - I kind of like the fact it's not overcrowded It's seldom a good venue in Edinburgh doesn't attract the masses!

We doubt if there is a better bargain than lunch here. The set menu is not changed very frequently, but the food is imaginative, well cooked and presented - and a half bottle of wine each! Cheerful service. And location? Could not be more central and views of the Scott Monument and the Castle are a real bonus.

I am just back from lunch at Cranston's restaurant. The service, food and views were all first class and excellent value for money. Some of my party of 7 were running late and although the restaurant usually takes last orders at 2.30 the kitchen accommodated us by staying open. I thought that we would then have a rushed lunch but we were allowed to take as much time as we needed. The menu did not have a huge choice but everyone agreed that it was beautifully presented and delicious. Well worth a visit and especially if you have visitors as the view over Princes Street Gardens was breath-taking.

Overlooks Princes Street and the side street. (NOTE: Must arrange in advance to get the table in the corner bay window.) Really nice views. Attentive service. Menu selection is limited and was the same both times we ate there. The pan fried chicken and sweet potatoes was quite good. My companion had the penne pasta and was satisfied with it as well. Pricey but good for the occasional dinner. Can't beat the view.

Fantastic food served with beautiful views of the scot monument and the castle. Food delicious and filling.

Il cibo era buono, locale carino ma troppo formale, eravamo un gruppo e ci hanno sistemati in tavoli separati, la posizione era incantevole!

Beautiful food, great service and a fabulous view of Edinburgh's Princess Street gardens and the castle. I would highly recommend Cranston's for a lovely relaxing lunch.

very nice for table was overlooking princess street at night and view of the castle and service was good and food was hot

Excellent food in quiet and relaxed surroundings a little limited in selection main and sweet however the food is excellent quality

We visited Cranstons with a pre arranged 2.30 booking only to be advised there would be a delay of 15 minutes as a party of 55 had arrived and were being attended to. Michael, our waiter kindly provided complimentary soft drinks and we must stress that he looked after us extremely well throughout giving him full marks. If only everything else had matched his performance. 45 long minutes after we arrived we were finally served with our order. Decaf coffee came in a sachet with a pot of boiling water - unacceptable. Sandwiches were tasty but meagre. It would appear that each visitor receives half a round of sandwiches. One cake each from a choice of three was ok but the strawberry tart fell to pieces as soon as it was lifted. one scone each with clotted cream and preserves. And finally, why put a small pile of tortilla chips next to the cakes? Overall a very disappointing visit. We won't be back.

Substantial breakfast & Afternoon Teas (warm, just made scones). Charmingly helpful waiters. Definitely try the Cranstons pies - come with beans & salad - I had chips too (proper ones) with my venison pie. Fish & chips - amazing batter & so hot.

Went here as we were given a "voucher" for dinner for 2 from my mum that she wasn't able to use. Checked out the menu & restaurant on the website & we were quite looking forward to a lovely meal. Wrong..!!!! The restaurant & the food are from the 1970's. The whole place is tired & old fashioned...and as for the food..this was one of the worst meals of my life!!! The fish was overcooked, the vegetables looked & tasted like rubber...didn't eat much of it, but was looking forward to my sticky toffee pudding. Wrong..!!! awful. Cake came with a tiny bit of caramel sauce over it. I asked for more sauce which did arrive but didn't manage to improve the dry, dense cake. Would not come back here if you gave me a free meal...sorry!!!!

My girlfriend and I travelled through the UK for 3 weeks and booked our Christmas lunch in advance in Edinburgh so we could have a special quiet lunch together. We contacted Waverly hotel via email several months in advance to arrange the lunch, and they kindly booked us in despite that we couldn't provide credit card details. On arrival, we were very kindly provided drinks by the Maitre D', who had placed us in the best table in the restaurant (having determined that we had travelled a long way from home for a special lunch). This gesture made our day, on top of the amazing food and service that was provided.Cheers Cranston's, for making our Christmas awesome!

Went for a Sunday lunch, had booked a table for 12.30. When went into the restaurant the waitress was vacuuming the carpet. Had a lovely corner table at the window. The menu looked good and was really cheap for the city centre in Edinburgh. We ordered a main course which took exactly 35 minutes to arrive. The meal was very nice, one chicken in wine sauce served with mash and ratatouille and one haddock with roast potatoes, courgettes and brocolli. A nice bottle of pinot grigio and one sticky toffee pudding and a huge plate of biscuits and 3 cheeses served with home made chutney. We were the only ones in the restaurant till other 4 people came in as we were leaving at 2.40. Food was good but the management need to do something about the service.

Décor rather tired and faded in this classic styled dining room but with two tables at the windows offering fantastic views of Princes Street, the Walter Scott monument and the Castle.Rather good main courses on the limited choice dinner menu - especially the monkfish and the venison dishes we had - but rather let down by surprisingly mundane starters and desserts (toffee pudding, cheesecake and fudge cake) and a lowest common denominator cheese board.Reasonably priced house wine and pleasant service.I'd be happy to go back again if they could raise their game overall to the standard of the main courses and the window tables!

Went for Afternoon Tea. It was NOTHING like the pictures on the website.There's no one to greet you when you walk in.The decor is tired and sparse.You get only a single tea bag each.The 'cake' fits on a dessert spoon.The scones look amazing but aren't that great.The sandwiches were too dry.Ugh.There are plenty amazing afternoon tea destinations in Edinburgh; give this one a miss; you simply don't get any value for your money.

An impressive place with a nice view! The food is good although not something extraordinary for the choices you have. It was delicious food and the prices are reasonable(not cheap).The stuff is very polite.Ask for a table by the windows!!

he view over Princess Street is indeed lovely, however the décor of the bar area and the restaurant need updating. The décor is stick in the 1980s and felt very stuffy and old fashioned. We were also disappointed in the menu which had 4 starters and 5 mains for £25 pp. The choice was rather underwhelming and we decided to eat from the bar men which was much more reasonably priced and a better choice. We both had the soup and the fish and fries which were very nice and would certainly have again, however the old fashioned décor would certainly put us off returning.

We dined here on a Monday evening and for the most part of our meal were the only diners which is a real shame as the quality of food on offer and picturesque location really deserve better. A set menu of 5 starters/Mains/desserts is somewhat limited but the choices are simple and not fussy but well prepared and delicious . At £20 for two courses or £23 for three it was at a standard that was above the price and you can't ask for much more than that ! My 1 criticism would be that as we were the only diners the service was rather erratic as the three staff on duty would just disappear for quite long periods , when they were there they were attentive and friendly though . I would recommend a visit just for the sticky toffee pudding alone!

Had lunch in the bar, lovely room ith stunning views of Princes Street. Sandwiches were better than we expected, and resonably priced, Chicken burger was a full breast of chicken, well cooked and presented. A good choice for somewhere to take a break from the shops and have lunch.

Excellent food with an imaginative flair. A pleasant suprise for a 3 star hotel. Try and get a window table and look out onto Princes Street, the park and up to the old town whilst you eat.

Very Good Food...not a large menu so you are not too spoiled for choice...I had the curry .....just lovely !!!

Beautifully presented food, good taste and very polite - but a little confused - waitress. All in all a very good experience and value. Our rooms was also of high standard for the price and compared to nearby competition.

Came here for set menu lunch. The quality of the food was excellent and great value for money. Lovely setting and great service. Restaurant was quiet but probably reflective due to time of year. Will definately be back and would recomment to anyone.

Well cooked food - though steak could have been a little hotter and the auce slightly more generous.

Freezing cold by the window, but great view of the castle. No Scottish food on teh menu, not even cottish cheeses or a whiskey sauce.

We went here to celebrate our anniversary-big mistake! The food was terrible,very poorly presented and just not what you would expect from a central hotel. The service was even worse. The hotel itself seems really run down and had a strange overwhelming cheap pot pourri smell. My advice? Avoid it at all costs!
