Eve in Newcastle upon Tyne

Had high hopes for brunch at Eve but was a bit disappointed. We were seated straight away by a friendly young man. Probably sat for about 15-20 minutes without anyone approaching us for our order. I managed to get the hosts attention and he took the order for us. Seemed like there was a lot of staff but most of them lingered round the bar area. Saying that, their uniforms were odd, some were dressed in jeans/tshirts/aprons but none of them co ordinated so not always easy to identify who worked there and who didn’t. Pancakes were £11, were quite a small portion so not enough to fill you up. The live music was good but I’m not really sure it suited the vibe.

Dropped in for brunch with a couple of friends just before Christmas. It was superb. The decor is lovely, the drinks were fab and the food was great. They were really busy and staff were managing sections admirably. The manager, Andy, was a delight. The music was amazing, we'd definitely go back. - S. Katz

Nice room, good staff, food really poor and all the cooked food was cold, been on display too long but was also really bland. Shame.

Don’t be put off by the poor reviews. We loved this place! The staff could not have been more friendly, attentive and helpful. The ambiance was great and the food lovely. Wine a bit on the expensive side, but that’s all. The outdoor area looks lovely, so we’ll definitely be back in the Summer.

Lovely decor, nice music. Service no issues Food and price let this Venue down massively. It was £17 quid for a breakfast and it was tiny and not that good. Just a sausage Pattie, couple pieces of bacon and fried egg and nothing else. No bread, beans, mushrooms, tomatoes nothing Coffee was also average. It needs to step up its food game to go with the decor

Could be so great, but its not! Positives. Superb setting, beautiful bar, quirky wall art. Beautiful outside area view. The not so great. Staff seemed inexperienced, slow service, food average, food that should be warm was freezing. Room very cold. Hsd to ask staff to close outside door. Wed all put our jackets and scarfs on! Tsble next to us wsited half an hour just to order drinks. Service charge was 35, which we didn’t pay! Wont be back. Edinburgh has much better to offer.

They say service at the table but nobody actually bothers to come, we stayed from 7:30pm to 00:30, they came 3 times only. I went to the bar cause nobody was showing up to take orders and ask for a Negroni and if it was possible to be send to my table. The bartender (a short blonde girl) was highly rude, more interested to look at the band playing. She rudely said it was only table service and even though I apologised for the inconvenience she was still rude with me and overpriced my drink for no reason from 12 pounds to 13.50 pounds. These kind of people don't deserve to work in hospitality. Only good point was the band, very enthusiastic and good performers. One of them it's a dear friend of mine. The rest was overpriced and not worth it.

Sad to say we didn’t even get to go! I had book brunch at Eve for a surprise for our wedding anniversary. I had head a lot of good things. Booked the table in August. Gets to the Friday before we head to Edinburgh (we are booked for the Sunday) and I have an email from Eve saying they now have a private booking and have to cancel our booking. 2 days notice. Now all the nice places are fully booked. Very disappointed. Such poor customer service.

We visited on the 18 Aug. We got our time wrong however they were so nice about it and fitted us in. Firstly the decor was very nice. The server came to see us and offered water for the table which we duly excepted. Then drinks menu arrived. My wife likes her cocktails and asked the lad for something different. He recommended I think xoxo. Anyway she thought it was delicious. 15-20 minutes for our food to come. By word it looked good. I had the rump, wife had the brisket, big chips and olives too. Along with another drink. This was delicious as well. Because of that we decided to have a pudding and we both chose Eaton Mess. When it came it was a small portion but that to was delicious. My only gripe was when the bill came there was a service charge of 10% so we decided not to leave a tip. Would I choose this restaurant again - almost certainly will as it was fantastic.

The wife booked it for us without me really knowing what i was in for. Busy, but not overly so. I ended up jealous of my partner's pancakes, i'll order that next time. When we came in a dj was playing actual vinyls, and then a harpist suddenly started performing. Felt pretty happening and a little bit swanky. I'd go back for sure.

I visited Eve yesterday with some friends for a late lunch. The food was good - we had a selection of the small plates to share (the black garlic aioli served with the fries was superb, and the Ras el Hanout Roasted Broccoli was delicious, as was the Sweet Potato Hummus - but the the cheeseboard was lacking somewhat - could have done with a bit more cheese and a few more oatcakes). The cocktails/drinks were excellent - do try their Paloma (tequila, lime juice, and grapefruit soda). The Eve Pilsner Lager was also very good. We liked the atmosphere - it felt quite cool and there was a mixed crowd (locals and tourists). The background music was perfect and the live band who started just before we left sounded great. We wanted to give a huge shout out to our server Harvey who was brilliant - friendly, professional, attentive and knowledgeable. He is an absolute asset to your establishment. Thanks for a lovely visit. We'll be back.

Visited on Tuesday for drinks Reasonably priced and lovely place However there was a severe lack of staff with no one on the front bar most of the time. Had to keep trying to track down someone when wanted served. Female member of staff from Glasgow helping out was apologetic and lovely. Probably won't go back.

Dropped in with colleagues for lunch, the place is stunning well decorated, and the finishing touches are great. That's where the positives end. Lunch was very disjointed, nobody seemed to be incharge and the waiter that was looking after us gave the impression that he was untrained, didn't have great menu knowledge, and was over familiar with our group. We asked for a few minutes with the menu but we're continually asked if we were ready to order. When we did order the food 6 small plates took nearly 35 mins to arrive and was average. We had to ask 4 times for the bill only when we stood up to leave did anybody take note. Really disappointed was looking forward to trying Eve, maybe it was an off day

Lovely afternoon, the small plates were really tasty, especially the chicken and short ribs. Jessica was wonderful in her attention to detail. Would recommend if you want a classy relaxed vibe with great food, service and atmosphere.

We wandered in as Grassmarket was so busy plus a v tempting promotional offer- so pleased we did! This place deserves to be much higher in the Trip advisor ratings!! Great cocktails, lovely ambience, helpful staff snd great food! You have to visit!

This spot is great for relax and to enjoy a drink in a elegant and cozy environment in the very city centre

The atmosphere of the place is beautiful really chill and modern. There are people studying both aoutside and inside and you can work and study thanks to the free WiFi connection. The menu was nice and nice presented, I chose an xoxo cocktail and it...

We busted Eve on several occasions during our stay at The Virgin Hotel in Edinburgh. Service was always excellent, friendly but efficient. The food is excellent with a decent portion size. Breakfast was brilliant with the best of local produce. Highly recommended.

we booked to go to Edinburgh for a couple of nights and booked Eve for Valentines evening - lovely setting but think we got the only table that wasn't well lit so needed phone torches to see the menu. Cocktails were lovely and our starter...

Had an amazing lunch at Eve! Wasn't aware it even existed as it's a new restaurant/bar on Cowgate. The interior design is wonderful and the whole place has very chill and laid back vibe with experienced and friendly staff. Food was really really good and...

Really cool bar, the food was excellent and the service was very attentive. We enjoyed the cocktails and listening to the music late in to the evening.

Excellent food and drinks served by attentive and hard working staff. We ate dinner around 6.30/7pm and the DJ was playing the perfect back drop to our evening. She was very skilled and read the room well to create the best vibe. From 9pm onwards,...

Nice place with tasty drinks. Helpful staff, great atmosphere. We spent NYE there and safe to say everything was fine. Would come back

We noticed this place on Cowgate and at first glance I thought it was a designer furniture shop, but saw the bar and it looked sparkling new, the place was empty and there was that slightly off elevator music playing. We went in asking if...

The decor of this restaurant however the food is very basic and not served in line with expectation. My partner ordered the salmon salad in which the menu stated that the salmon was served hot - it was cold. I ordered a burger, the burger...

Have to say, I was very much looking forward to visiting this restaurant today. Had heard good things about it. Booked a brunch and when we went into the hotel, felt very excited about waht was to come. Hotel looks lush. Doorman was helpful and...

Eve delivers high quality dining in true Virgin style, with guests given the VIP treatment from the very moment they step inside. The attentiveness of staff was immediately noticeable - from those on the door, to those looking after you throughout the evening. Small touches...
