We have just enjoyed our walking group Christmas lunch here today. All 17 couldn’t praise the staff enough for their pleasant, professional and efficient service. The food was excellent too both in quality, and presentation . Everyone was impressed with the superb food and the selection of choices available. We appreciated the separate area we were given and wanted to express our sincere thanks to all. Hope to return soon. Merry Christmas to all.

Went in for Sunday lunch with 2 adults and 4 kids. We were seated at our table and ordered our drinks and food on the app at our table. Our drinks came as did our cutlery. We sat for nearly 45 minutes, so we went to ask what was happening. The waitress was pretty rude and dismissive and said “there’s 2 large signs on the door saying the web ordering isn’t working”….not true! There is ONE A4 sign on the very front door and we didn’t see that as we were walking in with 4 little kids!! She essentially shrugged and walked away to “find a manager”. A man then came over who was nicer and much more apologetic but still only refunded our food and made us pay for the 2 drinks we’d been nursing for 45 minutes. 2 free drinks to buy good will would not have killed them. It would have been pretty basic to say to us as we’d been seated “just so you know orders need to be made at the bar as the app isn’t working” but nobody did. They knew we were there and just let us sit with 4 wee kids for an unreasonable amount of time. We then had to leave, all starving as we couldn’t really keep the kids happy for another 20 minutes whilst they actually made our order. Won’t be back as this really was totally avoidable and could have done without the rude waitress essentially telling us it was our own fault for not seeing the A4 sign on the front door. Pretty poor for customer service and probably worth letting her know that an “I’m so sorry” actually goes a long way. Following your response Hunter’s Tryst Team: I feel you may have missed the point! Your app not working wasn’t really a problem, would have happily gone to the bar but you need to tell people that as you seat them, or indeed when the waitress brought drinks and cutlery to our table, a small mention that all food orders needed to be made at the bar would have saved the situation from happening. However, what’s more unforgivable was the rude waitress and poor customer service- that’s nothing to do with your app or your chef. The lady who spoke to us was blunt, rude and dismissive and that puts people off permanently. If she’d been friendly, smiley and genuinely apologetic we’d have stayed and spent our money with you. However she more or less blamed us and stormed off when she could see we weren’t happy! Have a word - that’s the face of your company and all due respect its customer service every time, nobody cares if the app is on the blink.

Unpretentious restaurant. We go as a couple and with family members. There’s food to satisfy even the fussiest of eaters like my nephew and myself. The staff friendly and efficient even when it’s busy. Well behaved dogs are made extremely welcome . It creates such a nice atmosphere. People come there to work on their computer because the Wi-Fi is good. It was a short notice celebration for us an a home from home for other.

2 daughters got the chicken roast. Chicken was grilled not roasted, chargrill way too much which overpowered the taste of chicken, my 2 year old spat it out straight away. Parsnips & roast tatties rock solid. Cabbage & yorkies nice. I got the ultimate burger, hardly any cheese sauce to compensate how dry the burger was along with the over cooked bacon & dry ‘chicken fingers’ was meant to come with a spicy mayo which they had ran out of. Servers were lovely, food not soo much.

My 11 year old son and I had the ‘two eight ounce rump steaks for £17’ and they were beyond excellent. If I had known that the cuts would be so good I would have ordered them to be cooked medium-rare rather than medium. Kenneth at the bar and the other front of house staff were amiable and attentive, and the kitchen staff clearly know their stuff. We saw 30+ covers served in the time we were there and everyone appeared to be content, and well fed and watered. I have held back a star for service because we would have preferred table service rather than ordering at the bar. However, bar service was easy and pleasant. I have held back a star for atmosphere because, although it has been renovated recently, there was some scuffed and missing paintwork near us and we had to wedge our table level with some cardboard. This was our second visit to The Hunters Tryst this month. We used our Ember Inns loyalty card and received some welcome reward gifts. Do check with the bar staff which rewards apply in Scotland before ordering. We will be back soon.

We had a family meal today to celebrate my Husband's 30th birthday and we all had a fabulous meal. We wanted to give a special mention to the General Manager Marie who was a true diamond, went out of her way to purchase birthday candles (which are pictured) from the supermarket behind the Hunters Tryst to put in my Husband's pudding as a surprise. Marie even brought over colouring pencils and drawing paper to keep our toddler entertained and was so lovely to him. Marie truly went above and beyond for us today and showed such incredible kindness to us all so thank you so much for a wonderful experience at the Hunters Tryst.

I never bother with reviews but to save your time and get you better value for your money please read on. Ordered battered Mushroom with dip for Starter and burger and fries for main. We were advised 45 mins wait …ok can do but but after an hour we had to chase them and were made to feel like we were the inconvenience for asking. 1 and 30 mins later Main arrived. Asked where my starter was and it eventually turned up after I finished my main with no dip. I had to Find some to ask Only to be told there was no dip and if there was he would have brought it out ….rude to be honest ,and Never even offered an alternative. Plus point was food was ok but the lack of service really let the place down and it wasn’t even busy. All members of the group all ate at different times so had people sitting who had eaten with people who were still waiting for their food. Overall ok food but really shocking service. Got begrudging refund for starter Advice would be go somewhere else. No doubt Generic response inbound.

I arrived at 7.30pm on 16th July 2024 with a group of colleagues after a 4hr trip, to work in Edinburgh the following day. I ordered a pint whilst perusing the menu. The beer was very nice. The server at the bar immediately told us that there were no burgers, no lasagne, no chicken and only one or two portions of a number of other items. I settled on calamari as my starter and braised beef as my main. The beef arrived after about 15 minutes and was a disappointingly small portion which had dried around the edges. It was accompanied by raw vegetables (and I like all my veg al dente, but this was something else), and a blob of what I think was supposed to be potato gratin but which tasted of absolutely nothing. Nearly 30 mins after my main course my calamari showed up. Now.......I didn't get a picture of the main but remembered to for the calamari. Some chunks of uncooked batter arrived with some lettuce leaves and a piece of stale onion ring that must have been bobbing around in the fryer like a drowning sailor and had been cooked at least thrice. ( The burnt part onion ring wasn't included in the menu description). The whole lot sat in an inch of cold water (which I can only assume shows that the lettuce had been washed). No sauce and unfortunately no trace of any calamari. I'm shocked that a large chain like Ember Inns can allow this place to ruin any reputation they have as a company. One of my colleagues also reviewed his disappointing portion of fish and chips and a third colleague gave his entire meal away after seeing it looking so unedible on arrival. I only tend to leave reviews of places that I've found very good, and I eat out at least once a week. I couldn't let this go without mention and I hope I've saved some other weary traveler from an equally unappetising fate.

Half of the menu wasn't available. Then after ordering what should've been available, the bar staff came and told me it wasn't. I had to wait again at the bar to change the order. The portion of chips with the fish was ridiculously small, not worth the high price. I had to wait ages for the dessert to arrive because there wasn't enough staff. Not great!

Went to Hunters Tryst for a family reunion/meal. Phoned in advance as there was 17 of us in total including a lot of children. When we arrived we were seated in the back area which was great as it was less stressful for us being away from other people having meals. A much more relaxed experience. The children were all given activity sets and colours. When it came to ordering the staff were friendly and interacted with the whole group. The childrens meals arrived first so again less stress for the adults. The food was well presented and tasted great. Afterwards we stayed for a while to chat with a few drinks. There was no hurrying along and gave us a good chance to catch up. Overall food was great, staff were friendly and accommodating and the beer was cold and lively. Would definitely come again

I would suggest reviewing the head chef and maybe get someone a little more experienced as it could make some ill or maybe worse I most definitely won't be back.

I arrived around 12pm with all of my family. I ordered a Chicken and lean pie but asked for roast potatoes instead of mash. The staff member who served me was glad to help me with my food choice. The woman looked in her late 40’s with brown/black hair. The food was great and I had no issues with the drinks I had. This place is a must both for the good people of oxgangs & anyone travelling across country. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and other family.

Visited as a treat for Fathers Day. Ordered drinks and tried to order food however found so many of the choices unavailable. We did manage to complete our order, however after 1hr of waiting were told that one of the meals was now outnof stock and had to change the order. After a further 30 mins and another round of drinks we still hadn't received our food. On enquiring with the staff we were told there had been some communication breakdown with the kitchen. Judging by the number of frustrated diners at the tables sitting waiting for food we were not alone. Sadly had to leave without ever getting our meals. Would not return and cannot recommend.

Disappointed again. Food took almost an hour to arrive excuse was we are short staffed with an apology. Ember Inns need to sort out the staffing problem as I've had this excuse in their pubs elsewhere. The food when it did come was very nice tho.

If I could give it a zero, I would. I booked a week in advance, sent emails to have this confirmed with absolutely nothing back which resulted in me calling on the Saturday to confirm, the man on the phone seemed clueless so that should have been the first telltale sign what a disaster this place is. Arrived at five, ordered drinks at the bar which was quick and pain free, ordered food via the app at 17:22 (this took a while as more or less everything that my party wanted was out of stock) forty minutes pass and a server comes to tell us that the steak my partner ordered was out of stock. After forty minutes you assume the food would have been cooked and already being eaten, but no, that’s when they realised they didn’t have the food we ordered. Another HOUR and still nothing, tables around us also seething as they also hadn’t had any food. Managed after a further half an hour wait to get the dinner refunded but they still have over £50 of our for our drinks orders, that we order under the assumption we’d be eating there too. During this two hour ordeal, not one server or manager came and spoke to the tables to offer an apology or explanation, instead they were taking orders from their wife (I assume) and daughter bringing the food straight to them and ignoring absolutely everyone else.

I really enjoy coming to the Hunters Tryst. Staff have always been friendly, chatty and accommodating. Although food has had its ups and downs, I feel they are really trying to turn things back around, and any food I have had, has been really good.

The food was good, as it always has been when previously visiting. However, I was a little disappointed by the Raspberry Eton Mess sundae - although very pleasant the sundae had absolutely no meringue included in it at all - and this is the part of the Eton Mess that I really like. I would have happily done with less ice-cream and had the meringue included instead. A second point - there was a very long gap between the starter and the main course. In hindsight perhaps we should have cleared our starter plates to the bar to make it clear that we were ready for the main course - perhaps this was where the delay lay, as the pub was not particularly busy. If this is needed perhaps the staff can make it clear that the outset that, as there is no table service except for the delivery of food, plates for one course should be delivered back to the bar in order to prompt delivery of the second course? As it was, we had the table booked from 12:15 to 2pm but at 2:10 we were still waiting for delivery of the sweets.

Food is really tasty and accommodating for certain requirements, I try not to eat potato, and staff are really friendly as well. It's always busy so booking is advisable or come early. The only reason I gave 4 stars for food was my steak 🥩 was slightly over cooked but I could see that they were really busy. Bad reviews in the past but like what others had sad improving all the time and it shows

Nothing was great. The service was diabolical. There were two staff serving both at the bar and I. The restaurant. Our booking was for 7pm. I ordered the food at around 7.10pm and the starter arrived at 8pm and the main course at 8.45pm. The are area we were sitting in was barred off to mother customers at 8.30 pm and we were left forgotten. I will NEVER return to your establishments.

The food was so good I had the pizza with chips and beans I really recommend it BUT The pizza was about 10mm big! It was tiny was not happy about it chips were better than any place in the world the dessert was amazing I recommend the chocolate waffles they are so good and that’s it except it being a bit rundown my table was very dirty with some skillet stuff on it but overall food was amazing would recommend this to people who don’t like to spend much money

A very disappointing meal out for Sunday lunch! Three of us chose the two course Sunday special. Meals weren't very warm and vegetables were appalling, roast potatoes were sad frozen ones. Service was slow and disjointed. VERY disappointing.

Needs more staff. Often have to wait to be served. Beans were cold, but a quick zap in the microwave fixed it.

Was recommended here as I am celiac and they have a gf menu. As we were unsure what time we would be going (prior commitment before hand) I did not book. We arrived at 2.45pm and there was a sign outside saying 'bookings only, no walk ins' This was NOT on their website. We went in and spoke to a female member of staff who advised exactly what the sign had said. I then spoke to a male member of staff and asked where on their website it stated what the sign said, he said it didn't. Advised that due to rugby being on, they were unusually busy. The restaurant is large and they were not full to capacity. Asked if there was anyway we could have a table for 2 for an hour, point blank told no. We won't be returning.

Excelente ubicación. La comida era excepcional y excelente relación calidad-precio. Fue una comida de cumpleaños y no fue decepcionado. Mi esposa y yo fuimos tratados como miembros de la realeza por todos los miembros del personal. No puedo recomendar este lugar lo suficiente.

전형적인 스코틀랜드 방식의 펍입니다. 피시엔 칩스와 맥주를 맛있게 먹었으며 편하게 이야기 나누기 좋아 자주 방문했습니다.
