Kyloe Restaurant at Rutland Hotel in Edinburgh, City of

Went for the Sunday lunch with unlimited sides Very nice food and plenty of it! Well worth a visit

Food was fabulous, service and servers were lovely, very nice vibe- went at 8 on a Sunday evening and felt very relaxed and not rushed- didn’t feel like they just wanted me out! Very happy 😊

We visited as walk-ins and were initially told by the hosts that there was no availability. However, when we checked online, we found multiple time slots open within the next 15 minutes. We booked a table through the website and returned, only to be told again by the host that we needed to wait those 15 minutes because the table wasn’t ready yet. Shortly after, another host approached us, checked our reservation, and informed us that the table was in fact ready, and we could be seated immediately. It was confusing and poorly managed from the start. We ordered the Sunday roast along with an additional portion of shrimp for £11. When the dish arrived, they served us just three tiny pieces of shrimp. Having dined here before, we knew this wasn’t how the dish used to be. When we asked about it, the staff rudely responded, “Eat the three shrimps, yes, it’s £11 for that.” The attitude was dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in basic customer service. As returning customers, we were incredibly disappointed. This visit turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had in Edinburgh. Between the disorganized service and rude staff, we won’t be coming back. Would not recommend.

BEST RESTAURANT & STEAK OF MY LIFE. The difference between eating and DINING is here. Food: Ox cheek croquettes while we waited were delicious. Full of flavour with a fantastic sauce and FRESH veg garnish. I ordered the off menu Ribeye (med rare) special with redwine and blue cheese sauce. The steak was HEAVENLY, my eyes rolled. The sauce was incredible. My brother in law had the fillet with garlic butter amd chips. Quote of his meal was "they are just chips, how are they that good" I ordered the corn brulee, which is prepared at your table side. The whole experience was amazing as was the taste. Staff: All very friendly, polite, attentive, efficient and professional. 10/10 experience can't wait to visit Edinburgh again.

I returned here a short while ago with my partner for my birthday. The food and service was just as I remembered it. We arrived a little early and the table selected was still in use so the host offered to seat us in the bar area temporarily and get us started off with a drink - this very small wait was worth it as we got seated at a window table with a lovely view of Princes street. Shortly after being seated we selected our choice of steak knives and ordered, we opted to share the Taste of Hardiesmill which gives you 3 beautiful cuts of steak, alongise this we got beef dripping chips and the whisky and peppercorn sauce, all of which was cooked to perfection. For desert I chose the s'mores which was amazing. The staff also brought out a board with complimentary treats with it being my birthday which was a lovely touch. After being back for the second time I cannot recommend this place enough. It is expensive but for the quality of food and service you get, and as a treat for a big occasion it is well worth it.

The place is great. The staff is very nice. The food is very good I recommend this establishment. Having come in October 2024, we have the pleasure of returning in March 2025.

Great meal and service. We were very well looked after by our server Eleana from the moment we sat down. Steak was fantastic although probably a little undercooked for medium rare. Looking forward to coming back again soon.

Highly recommended spot in the west end of Edinburgh. Our server Sophie did a great description of the steak board - we learnt a lot! Hopefully back again soon

Came here for my birthday meal as I am huge steak fan. We had an excellent seat in the corner so it felt intimate without feeling like we were out of the way. Food was excellent - all the way from the steak itself to the sides. I also loved the fact that you could choose your own knife which was a very unique experience. My only critique was that we mentioned it was my birthday in the booking form, and it was on the receipt as well, but it wasn't mentioned at all otherwise - I wasn't looking for it to be mentioned as I only found out after our visit that my fiancé had put it down, but made me feel like they didn't take any of the booking notes seriously. Didn't affect my memory of the place though or the food, so would highly recommend!

Had a fantastic evening on Saturday. Incredible food that was made even better by the great service from Sophie. You don't see that attention to detail and friendliness often nowadays. Would happily have another steak there again.

Whole experience was exquisite. Steak was phenomenal, probably the best I have ever tried and great that the share dish we ordered was all locally sourced. Service was outstanding too.

Attirati dalle recensioni positive e consigliati dal nostro hotel, ci siamo recati a cena in questo ristorante. Appena entrati l'impressione è stata positiva, ma dopo qualche minuto ci siamo resi conto che in un tavolo vicino, quattro persone ridevano sguaiatamente parlando ad alta voce e il personale non è intervenuto. Non si può tollerare un atteggiamento di questo tipo, se non avessimo già ordinato, saremmo andati via. Il servizio è stato all'altezza e il personale gentile, purtroppo però la qualità di quello che abbiamo mangiato non ci ha soddisfatto. Bistecca, patatine e salsine? Meglio mangiarle altrove. Non ci tornerei e non mi sento di consigliarlo.

My girlfriend and I visited Kyloe for my birthday and we had an amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was perfect - the food was absolutely delicious and we couldn’t fault a single thing. The staff were warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome without being overbearing. The atmosphere was fantastic and the steak was hands down the best we’ve had in Edinburgh. We’ll definitely be returning!

Outstanding - both the service and food were excellent ! we will be returning as this was to us the best steak place in Edinburgh

Visited on a Sunday evening in January with my partner and had been really looking forward to our meal, particularly the choice of steak cuts and the creamed spinach. Unfortunately the experience didn't live up to other reviews I've read. We arrived on time and were told to wait downstairs in the bar as our table wasn't ready, and to 'come back in 15min'. This meant we awkwardly had to wait downstairs without drinks - there were cocktails we wanted with the meal that were only available in the restaurant area. When we went back, we felt like we were being a total nuisance when asking for our table, and were eventually seated by the host. Ordered a still and a sparkling water to start with and received warm bottles and glasses with no ice - even the tap water had ice! The explanation of the menu and the cuts of steak was great. Sadly my steak (the cut of the day) was hugely overcooked and I wasn't able to get this rectified, because no one came back to check on how the food was, and we were in a fairly secluded corner. The sides were mediocre: creamed spinach was watery, the mac n cheese not very cheesy or flavourful. The green beans were honestly the highlight of my meal! In hindsight I wish we'd chosen somewhere else for our nice meal out.

Service was a bit lacking and slow at the beginning of our evening. Steaks looked amazing but wear a bit under cooked (more blue/rare); we had requested medium rare. Plenty of flavour and taste Sides wear amazing. Wine and company was fantastic

My Husband still talks about his meal here & we are home a week. Steaks, vegetables even the chips were so so tasty. A special place well worth a visit. Exceptional staff who know everything about Steak. You even chose the Steak knife you want to use.

Absolutely perfect from start to finish. Everything was amazing, I’ve always got something to complain about but this place delivered in every respect. Can’t fault it and would definitely go again. It’s expensive but delicious, everything was delicious 😋 every mouthful was to be savoured. Mmm, just thinking about it now is making me smile. Eye watering prices but a real treat.

Food was lovely! Service on the other hand was poor. Garry the Manager ROLLED HIS EYES at us!! Shocking service from him. I was still picking at my main course and Garry aswell as every other staff had come to our table to see if we were finished. It was 8:30pm and there were 5 other empty tables so it wasn’t like we were being pushed out the door (we even asked if they needed this table) they said no but still multiple members of staff came to clear our plates! I was rather annoyed and made the dinner experience less enjoyable. We wanted to speak to Garry but he had finished his shift so we spoke with James who kindly compensated us. David was our main servant who was lovely explained all the steaks great and had a nice attitude.

Atmosphere was nice, service was ok but the main event… the food, was horrible. I ordered a ribeye steak, the sear was poor and quite frankly tasted how burnt hair smells. My partner ordered the sirloin and it was ok but not the quality you’d expect from a STEAK restaurant. As far as the sides go; the carrots were amazing, Mac and cheese flavourless and the chips were ok. Quite frankly I think macdonalds could have provided a better meal! Will not be back…

Confession - Im not a huge steak fan but have tolerated more than a few steak restaurants in my life, since my husband loves it. This was simply the best steak meal I have ever had. Cooked to perfection, divine sauce (red wine and blue cheese, fries and green beans that were the best I’ve ever tasted. I couldn’t fault a thing.. Staff were great, amusing and we felt ……..honest about the steak cuts. Not too much information - just enough to feel you were making an informed choice,. And the choosing of you steak knife was novel. Not cheap but a lovely place for a special meal, quality ingredients, expertly prepared. Next time my husband wants a steak restaurant, I know where I’ll be wanting to go. Thank you Kyloe!

Second year running myself and my partner have spent our Valentines evening with Kyloe, and all I can say is the service, quality and food has not differed. Outstanding food and customer service. We have been treat like the only people in the room on both occasions and the experience has never faulted. Thank you for the most gorgeous food and customer service, needless to say we will be returning next Valentine’s Day.

Thank you for a wonderful Valentines meal the food and service was 10/10 Gary was a brilliant waiter. Probably the best Steaks I have ever tasted and the battered onion was unique and tasty. Well done team Kyloe and thank you for my Moscow mule in a traditional copper cup.

Found the food tasty , the staff brillant with service only fault was the heating off the place cold that had to put jackets on

Effortlessly decadent. Food sublime. A personal favourite.

Took my partner did he’s 40th Perfectly cooked steak

Olives / Focaccia, then Monkfish scampi to start; Cote-de-boeuf (medium rare), beef-dripping chips, and maple-roast carrots, and a half-bottle of Malbec; Chocolate mousse to conclude. The food was excellent, the wine tasty. The restaurant looks good / toilets are spotless. The serving staff are outstanding- friendly, helpful, knowledgeable, and they give just the right amount of attention, without being intrusive. I was first in, 1630, but even as the place filled up I thought it wasn’t too loud, and there is ample space between the tables. The food isn’t cheap, per se, but you get what you pay for (and you haven’t decided to go here to save money) and I think it represented “good value”. Overall, I was very happy as a first time customer, and I suspect I’ll return to try the different menu offerings.

Drinks are nice and food are good. Place was busy especially it was around Christmas period thus table service was not that satisfied. It was long queue even for people who had reservation, might because of busy season.

Best rib eye steak we ever had. No comparison. We will return on our next visit to Edinburgh.

High quality steaks. Had the 55day old ribeye and it was delicious!

We came as a group of friends believing this is the top steaks restaurant in Edinburgh, unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth. First of all, the sides and starters we tried are all good but the steaks were underwhelming for the price, they were mostly cooked unevenly or not as per requirement and they were not really flavourful except their wagyu sirloin. We also tried their wagyu burger which was really awful, more like kufta meat rather than a burger. Overall, I recommend going for much cheaper steak restaurants that actually care for the meat they are cooking, this is a prime example that even if you got the best premium cuts you can still waste them.

Very good Sunday lunch but service on the slow side although staff very friendly and helpful.

Staff were very attentive and explained the menu well. One of the party has coeliac disease and was very well catered. All the choices were excellent and thoroughly enjoyed. The sharing spiral cut rump was absolutely delicious. Will be back

At first asked for a window seat.Did not get one as there were at least 3 available. Nice surroundings

Amazing staff and fantastic Steak! The meat was so delicious 10/10

This place never disappoints, don't come here anywhere near as often as I'd like to. But when I do go, I can't wait to go back!

Thanks for making us feel so special. My son passed his surgical exams and extra attention was paid to him.. Great staff and great food. Lovely atmosphere.

The staff wee fun, engaging and provided excellent service which felt informal yet professional.. which simply doesn’t exist in many establishments. The meat was exceptionally good and the wine excellent! I live in Edinburgh and would highly recommend Kyloe as one of my go to restaurants. Best steak in town! Thank you ! We also took a table of 16 for Sunday lunch the following weekend and had a superb time. Gary and team really looked after us and we’re all great fun.. I have Yorkshire pudding envy now! Thank you to all!

Delightful Three adults, we ordered the shared Sirloin Sunday Roast for 2ppl with unlimited sides. Whilst there is an option to order an additional steak for 1 or third person, as we are light eaters, the shared portion was ideal for us. Very good quality beef, the sides, pan gravy and horseradish cream all equally good. The creamed cabbage just okay, hardly touched. Leave room for dessert as the sharing Sticky Toffee pudding with ice cream is included in the price of shared Sunday roast. This dessert was simply divine! Place busy but staff attentive and service great, we are certainly happy to pay the discretionary 10% service charge. Ambience and table by the window very good. Walk-ins for Sunday Roasts not available. Popular, advance reservation recommended to avoid disappointment. TIPS: Non-alcoholic drinks available are mocktails and a couple of beers.

First visit. Service and food was outstanding. Our servers josh and Olivia were fabulous. We will definitely be back. Thank-you

Steak, sides, sauces etc were all great. Lovely ambience and staff very helpful and friendly. Wait for mains to be served was longer than expected but was worth it when they came

One of my favourite places to come and eat for a special occasion. Never disappointed me yet.

Lovely restaurant. Staff nice but service a bit slow this may havd been due to busy time. Didn't receive full order. Food great but a bit overpriced against competitors. In all I did enjoy and would still recommend.

Staff excellent. Vegetables and chips perfectly cooked. Steaks cooked perfectly

Fantastic steak experience. Superb explanation of the different cuts of meat. Beautiful and originally prepared vegetables.

Went here last Saturday. Steak took 2 hours to be served and was like chewing rubber. Prices are an asbolute rip off and that was even when using a 40% discount. No joke I had a steak tonight at beefeater for £19 and it was 10x better. You want great steak? Go to Miller and Carter. One savi g grace was the waiter giving us a free serving of wine as an apology for the wait. Maybe it was just a rough night. The table next to us was not happy either

We went for the Sunday roast - a shared for two people. The steak was cooked to perfection and our specification with home made horseradish. The sides were 10/10 - we could have had refills but these weren't needed! The sticky toffee pudding afterwards was light and flavoursome. Toilets are unisex which was a little confusing to start with but was a nice inclusive touch for guests. Would absolutely come back!

Fantastic dinner. Thanks for honouring the 40% food discount after Friday was cancelled due to the weather

We've been to Kyloe a few times, and we will certainly be back. The food is good, although can be a bit pricey.

Absolutely outstanding probably the best meal we have EVER had!

Quality experience from start to finish - service, food and atmosphere.

We always love dining at Kyloe. The food, service and ambience is always amazing. Steak cooked to perfection.

Amazing meal, fantastic service from friendly knowledgeable staff

As always, the staff at Kyloe make the experience. I don't know how they select them, but every time we go we comment on just how fab they are. Professional, efficient, and yet relaxed and very friendly. The food and wine are always on point. The January deal was just the icing on the cake. Look forward to it next visit, we left it too long this time.

Several steak restaurants to choose from on the capital. Kyloe is well worth the visit! The food was excellent with beautiful and tasty side dishes……maple carrots were delicious! Excellent knowledge and service by staff. We will be back!

We ordered the Chateaubriand to share for the main and had olives as an appetizer and Ox cheek croquettes for a starter. We ordered whisky and peppercorn sauce on the side of the steak alongside one side of chips(since the steak itself doesn't come with any accompaniment aside from a few veggies to dress the plate). All of the food was delicious, particularly the steak - it was a high quality cut of beef cooked perfectly. It was quite a large portion, so we were happy we only got one side of chips to share with it. The sauce went with the steak perfectly. The staff were really friendly and we received some complimentary focaccia with truffle butter while we waited and a few small sweet treats at the end with our bill. They asked us to choose which steak knife we wanted to use from a selection and I could see them walking around showing other customers how different cuts of steak looked to help them decide what to order. We would definitely eat here again.

We went for a birthday meal and it did not disappoint outstanding food and exceptional service especially James, we will definitely be back.

💷50/person! Amazingly high price, but the taste deserves 💷15/person in my opinion.

We took Sunday Roast, the meat was cooked too rare (we took medium-rare, they should know how to prepare meat correctly, it didn't taste as it should even after going to oven again). The pudding and sides were great, also we really enjoyed the desert. The service was outstanding taking 10% tip.

Best steak in Edinburgh, lack of cuts available than to usual. Get the venison starter

A friend suggested and arranged dinner here. A first-time experience for us, I had a ribeye steak and cooked medium, we all selected different sides, so there was a great choice for everyone. I selected bone marrow gravy, which was super. Loved the chips, carrots, and mushrooms, and crispy onions were top class. Sweet with the recommended dram was quality. Service first class, knife selection was something I've never had before. House red wine was a very good quality, and the atmosphere was amazing, very busy restaurant but you can understand why. 10% service charge, which is the usual these days, all in all a great night out food and drinks wise.

Wonderful experience from start to finish. The food was beautifully cooked and the service was exceptional. Would highly recommend.

Great meal as always scallops, steak and meringue - fabulous

Food was amazing as always and the service was very good.

Shared a Porterhouse steak, meat was lovely. Our server was excellent & the cost very reasonable, January 40% discount which was a nice surprise. Definitely will be back.

Had a nice dinner date in this place. Really enjoyed food and the service will be back

Food was amazing but I noticed slightly different treatment to when I was there before. In the past we have always been able to choose our own steak knife’s and I noticed other tables being able to do this but we were just given ours. We also got the bill without even asking for it so it made us feel unwanted.

Outstanding dining experience. Our meal was delicious. Steaks cooked as requested, probably the best we’ve ever had. Staff attentive and knowledgeable but not in your face. Will definitely return when we next visit Edinburgh.

Lovely restaurant in a very central location. The food was excellent , although a little pricey. The service was slow we waited over an hour for our main course.

Very good service. Our waiter Agne was helpful and recommended a suitable wine to go with the steak. As main course we chose Hardiesmill sharing steak, which consisted of fillet, flat iron and sirloin steaks. Fillet was the best, incredibly soft and perfectly cooked. I had bearnaise sauce with the steak and it was so tasty.

It took a while and multiple requests to get our bill but other than that excellent

Fantastic place, great food and superb service this was my 2nd visit in 1 week!

Second time being here and it was genuinely one of the best meals I’ve ever had, somehow better than the first time around which was so good. The staff were all amazing from the front of house to our waiter to the bar staff who made us amazing cocktails and of course the kitchen team behind the scenes making such amazing food. I’ve recommended this place to many people and they always come back to tell me how good it was. Well worth the money!

A most enjoyable evening with excellent food and wnderful service. January discount very much appreciated.

Excellent service. Disappointed with the quality of the steak.

Great experience and food! Always lovely and friendly

Outstanding quality of food as always, cosy atmosphere and very friendly and professional service too! Look forward to going back again.

The porterhouse was very tender and delicious and the corn brulee was fantastic.

Service was excellent, food was also excellent would recommend if you like steaks

Unfortunately we did not have good experience with this restaurant. We ordered a brunch with sirloin stake (GBP 40 per person). Bread and butter did not taste natural, bread was crumbly, butter portion was small for 2 people. Meat was of a bad quality - we literally could not chew it because of veins. In addition, it was simply not tasty - piece of meat without taste. Potato pieces were burnt from 1 side. We called for a manager, he tried to explain that we cannot chew meat because it is well done rather than because of veins! Finally we decided to leave; we did not eat anything, just tried meat. A manager tried to suggest us to pay the bill! That was refused. When leaving, we noticed not fresh, black meat in a refrigerator near the stairs. We do not recommend this place, be careful. They try to give you bad quality food and charge a premium price for nothing.

Outstanding as always. ⭐️ Real carnivor paradise.🥩 They have a great selection of beef cuts. We treated ourselves with DryAged Cote de Boeuf which was sensational. This special treatment really enhanced flavour and was phenomenal. We also tried the Surf and Turf starter which was superb🍤 Great selection of wines 🍷 Staff is really preparared, they give precious advice on the cuts of the day and also help you choose the knife 🔪. Personally I think this restaurant hits all boxes in terms of flavours, staff and sustainability. I always feel welcome and staff is genuinely nice which really makes you feel welcome and ease.🥂

Brilliant service, attentive and knowledgeable. The food itself was excellent, everything cooked perfectly and the sides were as much a star of the show as the steak itself. Perfect visit from start to finish!

Fantastic service from the initial welcome through to settling the bill. Food is outstanding with the chateaubriand being perfectly cooked to our requirements (medium/ rare). The accompaniments were good HOWEVER, we would have expected these to be included as part of the chateaubriand meal i.e. chips, sauces, onion bloomer... similar to other steak restaurants.

We travelled to Edinburgh specifically to visit this restaurant. The ambience was lovely. Staff were all really attentive and offered suggestions. We were shown a visual of the various cuts of steak available and all explanations were clear and specific. We also got 5 options for which type of knives we would all prefer. One of the items on the menu I was really looking forward to was unfortunately sold out, bit disappointed that something would be sold out by 3pm on Saturday but there were other options. We had two nice cocktails and there is an extensive wine menu It’s not a cheap meal but it was delicious All three steaks were cooked to perfection and beautiful rested. They were also very large, I struggled to finish my fillet as it was such a generous size. We chose a variety of sides and they were all cooked beautifully

Fabulous food and atmosphere, second visit and was just as good as my first. First visit for my teen son and he loved it too!

Basically it was great! Only problem is the steak becoming cold too quick maybe because the weather. Overall it was a great experience.

Went to this restaurant as connected to the hotel in which we stayed and suggested by the receptionist. It’s pricey but well worth it. Staff are knowledgeable and helpful in taking you through the steak board and sharing recommendations. Theatrically bringing out a range of knives to choose from is probably OTT but the ribeye was the best I have ever eaten and my wife loved the fillet. Rutland Hotel guests receive a good discount which was welcome. All in all an excellent restaurant which is very hidden away but no less busy.

Sunday lunch was superb; fabulous quality of Beef roasted specifically for our table. Lots of side dishes all served piping hot. Service throughout was excellent.

This has been my 3rd visit to the restaurant and it fails to disappoint every time! The food is exquisite, presented beautifully and the staff go above and beyond. The meat is cooked to perfection. The display the staff put on to ensure all customers know their cuts of meat and how best to cook it is lovely, and let’s not miss out on the fact you get to choose your weapon of distraction!! (Knife) The place is beautifully decorated and very welcoming. Would highly recommend dining here for a classy, well delivered meal. Thank you Kyloe for a wonderful dinner as always 💞🥂

Over priced. Over £40 for a decent cut of steak with no sides. Steaks were excessively fatty for for the price / standard that should be served at that price. The meat / sauce was very cold. There wasn’t any grill tastes. Over all bland and disappointed customers.

Fantastic meal! The waiter was incredibly informative and helpful

Lovely decor and food outstanding. We had the chateaubriand and it was cooked to perfection and the sides were all delicious

Me and my husband came here with two friends. The atmosphere was fabulous, the food choice was great. You don’t feel rushed when ordering or when being served. There was plenty to choose from. The different steaks are brought out to you on a platter to choose from, you even get to choose your knife that you would like. We had a great evening and this is probably the best steak I have ever had. We will be back x

Came for dinner here to try the Aberdeen Angus beef. had a small issue with the server which was promptly solved by the very friendly manager Gary. Servers Monica and Olivia were incredible, extremely friendly. The sides were really good, especially the mushrooms and the green beans. overall an exceptional experience

Excellent restaurant! Nice meat

Phenomenal meal and great service.

Steak hervorragend, auf den Punkt gebraten. Sehr leckerer Nachtisch

The best steak restaurant I have ever been to. Absolutely faultless

Food was excellent, service was excellent only thing was you only got 2hrs at table , was asked could we get table back in 15 mins , which meant drinks down quickly and pay bill !!

Once again an excellent meal at Kyloe. Super service and excellent food.
