Food and cocktail selection was amazing. While I had difficulty deciding, both servers were very patient with me and checked alternately if I was ready to order. I especially loved their starters and I was glad that I ordered two starters for a treat to myself (exercise after...lol). A hearty meal for winter. Very thoughtful to ask if I needed a break after the main before desert was to be served and when to serve the hot tea and petit fours. This question was probably the best indicator of the services for most restaurants. For interiors and atmosphere, it was done perfectly. I knew I had a soft spot for restaurants housed in heritage buildings and refurbished to give the historic fabric a new lease of life. Sofas were comfortable, almost too comfortable that I didn't want to end this wonderful meal so soon (after 2-3 hours anyway). Good value for money, too.

Came here to celebrate after the university graduation. We literally booked half hour before hopping on a taxi and arriving at the hotel/restaurant door. We had other plans to go somewhere else but unfortunately it was close, so we had to think on our feet as it was beginning to rain. The staff was unaware of our booking being so last minute but accommodated anyway! We were very thankful for their hospitality and the flexibility. The kindness they showed to a family of five that afternoon was the most memorable thing that day (even more so than the unnecessary long graduation ceremony…). Anyway, we ordered the set menu and everything was delicious and well presented. I sort of wish I had ordered from the vegan menu instead because all of my friend’s dishes looked creative and original. Highly recommend visiting during the festive season! Their Christmas decorations were simply out of this world. It was magical and we were fortunate enough to experience it all.

The ambiance and service 5/5! I love the wine selection especially the dessert wine. I booked for two and got an amazing view from our seats. The food generally is good and interesting but the beef en croute was too dry for me and I could not go on to finish it. I was disappointed. But I love the crème fraiche tart with sorbet.

My daughter and I had Christmas Eve dinner here. It was fabulous. The wait staff were courteous, friendly, and helpful. We had the Classic Sharing Dish for Two. The food was delicious, and there was more than enough for both of us. We decided to have the Christmas Pudding and vanilla ice cream, which was warm and sweet. We will definitely return in the future.

When the need arises for a dining experience for a special occasion, we tend to try somewhere new. There are a few places that we would go back to however Rhubarb in the Prestonfield hotel in Edinburgh is one of the places we like to frequent. Situated near to the ancient Arthur's Seat, the Prestonfield hotel itself is steeped in history, dating back to the 17th century and exuding an elegant and luxurious atmosphere that instantly transports you to another time. As for Rhubarb, the restaurant is nothing short of a five-star dining experience. The food was absolutely exquisite, with each dish crafted to perfection and bursting with flavor. The menu featured a fantastic array of seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, showcasing the best of Scottish cuisine. The presentation of the dishes was also a work of art, truly elevating the dining experience. In addition to the outstanding food, the service at Rhubarb was top-notch. The staff were incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and welcoming, adding to the overall warmth and sophistication of the restaurant. The surroundings of the restaurant were equally as impressive. The dining room itself was beautifully decorated and offered stunning views of the hotel's grounds, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. Overall, my experience at Rhubarb was unforgettable. From the rich history of the Prestonfield hotel to the exceptional food, service, and surroundings, everything combined to create a truly special and memorable dining experience. I highly recommend Rhubarb to anyone looking for a luxurious and unforgettable dining experience in Edinburgh.

This was our third time at the Rhubarb Restaurant. The service from sommelier Lukas, our server Rico and Mr. Phil was impeccable. They made us feel welcome, they were accommodating to our every request and at the end of the night, they offered us a tour of the grounds and the hotel. As always, it was a fabulous experience, from the hospitality, to the food and the atmosphere. We would absolutely recommend it and we will definitely be back again. As for the food, we ordered the Wood Pigeon, Tweeddale Beef and the Red Deer platter for two. All the dishes were extremely well thought out, with flavours that compliment each item expertly and the meat was cooked to perfection. If we could give 6 stars, we would. Absolutely fantastic!

Rhubarb is our go-to stopping point when visiting the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Set in the gorgeous Prestonfield House, even before you get to the beautifully decorated dining room, you are wandering around the beautifully landscaped gardens. Once inside, there is an a la carte menu of deliciousness, and during the Edinburgh Fringe, they have a three-course table d'hote menu, which never disappoints in terms of choice, value or quality. There are few restaurants we would return to time and time again, but Rhubarb is one we certainly will. Check out the hotel's website for some exciting events coming up very soon and stay for a stunning meal.

Having visited Edinburgh several times, we always love trying out new places to dine. We stumbled on Rhubarb on TripAdvisor and booked a table for when we visited recently.Just the location itself makes you feel excited about the experience you are going to have. The interior is beautiful and adds to the stunning atmosphere that comes with the service you receive.We had three courses and were extremely impressed with every dish we had. First we were served freshly made bread before our starters which set the tone for the quality of food. My favourite was the Hake with seasonal vegetables, and my boyfriend was blown away with lamb. This is a hidden gem in Edinburgh and we are certainly going to be heading back here when we next visit.

My husband brought me here for my 30th birthday. We were greeted by a cat, two peacocks and a lovely gentleman who escorted us to our table. The dining room holds its traditional decor and feels very intimate and cosy. I am a vegetarian and my husband has celiac disease so we can struggle at times with limited options, however the menu provided lots of choice for both of us, and they were very reassuring to my husband regarding his dietary requirements which instilled confidence in us both. The food was unbelievably delicious, I didn’t want it to end! Extensive wine menu also. The service was impeccable, especially Rico who could not do enough for us and is just an all round gentleman.

I used to entertain a lot at Prestonfield back in the 80s/90s, which is why I chose it for the first night of our honeymoon thirty years ago. Tonight's dinner was supposed to be a romantic occasion, but it turned into a £240 disappointment.Firstly, let me tell you the good things. The dining room is still very grand, the food is still pretty good, and the wine list is exceptional.Let me now tell you the bad things. We expected to enjoy a cocktail in the upstairs bar, but were dragged straight to our table, where the menu was slapped down without any mention of an aperitif.With the honourable exception of the sommelier, who was very impressive, the staff were awful. I did not expect to come to Prestonfield and be addressed throughout the meal as "you guys". I know it is impossible to get good staff in hospitality at the moment, but someone has to take responsibility for what these idiots say.We were stuck behind a table of Liverpudlians, having a very noisy reunion. It was like having two hours of The Royle Family playing at full volume throughout dinner, with a guest appearance from some zany American guest star. Surely they could have had a private room, and not ruined dinner for everyone else.In short, a £240 dinner that I hope to forget rather than remember.

My partner and I had dinner at Rhubarb on my 50th birthday. I had previously dined at The Witchery so I knew Rhubarb would be of an equally high standard and wasn’t disappointed. We were greeted as soon as we stepped out of the taxi and efficiently ushered to our table in an intimate dining room. The waiter had a great knowledge of the extensive wine menu and I was thrilled that one my favourite champagnes was available (Billicart Salmon Rosé). This was followed by a delightful red that was expertly decanted by the waiter.And the food….wow, the food. I had asparagus to start and my partner had monkfish. Both dishes were absolutely sublime. Faultless We had the Chateaubriand for our main course and it was the best I have ever tasted. It’s not always the most flavoursome cut of beef but this was packed full of beefiness and cooked to perfection. Each of the many sides including bearnaise sauce and the silken cauliflower purée was exquisite. We somehow managed to find room for a creme brûlée for dessert - and yes, you guessed it, it was perfect. We’ve been fortunate enough to dine at some amazing restaurants so are pretty good judges of food and wine. I can honestly say, this was one of the most pleasurable & satisfying dining experiences we’ve ever had. The venue was beautiful - I don’t really like modern so the antiques and opulence really appealed to me. The setting was stunning and the staff made us feel really special. We can’t wait to visit again in the future.

First class food, served beautifully in an extremely opulent environment by friendly and engaging staff. What a lovely evening we had! A revisit to Prestonfield after many years, we noticed quite a few eye catching changes to the interior but the warmth of the welcome we received had definitely not changed. We shared the chateaubriand for main, which was cooked to perfection, with a lovely assortment of vegetables and sauces, and then the rhubarb and custard millefeuille - what else would you choose to eat at ‘Rhubarb’?! Thanks Prestonfield for keeping our fond memories alive and helping us create new ones.

Gorgeous setting, pretty grounds for a drink outside. Inside like a stately home but not stuffy or formal. Cosy interesting series of rooms used for dining. The set menu good value, good quality. Beef en croute rather fatty but was dealt with swiftly and professionally. I know we have to comply with COVID rules but seems extremely over the top to have to wear rubber gloves to view the wine list! Annoying that not all guests asked to observe the same standards. This was the only restaurant we visited in Edinburgh with this who have chosen to introduce this ridiculous rule. Pls ask everyone to do the same - very annoying and frustrating when not uniformly applied.Overall, a pleasant experience.

We have used this venue for family celebrations and special treats since the 1990s. We are unlikely to risk it again. On Wednesday 14/7/21 the atmosphere was as good as usual as were the imaginative starters. But, almost everything went downhill from there. The service progressively slowed to being virtually unresponsive. This probably lead to our main courses seeming over-cooked, particularly the pork fillet, steak and fish. 3 of our 4 main courses were little more than starter size and the sweets were tiny. To make matters worse (most unusually) 3 of us suffered from indigestion/sickness overnight and "the trots" the next day.

Unfortunately me and my wife had a bad experience here. It was quite a disappointment as the pictures look incredible. The services was incredibly slow. It look around 3 and half hours to get through starter, main and desert. I think we waiting for around 45 mins to 1 hour just for the starter to arrive. It was very cold, due to the window being open for covid reasons (totally understandable), but with no counter measure such as a heating device. We sat next to the window and my wife was so cold all evening. The food was only ok, although I must say the dessert was outstanding (and the only potion size that was actually ok). My crab starter was really bland, I would recommend avoiding that. On the plus side, the interior was really beautiful and interesting, and our waitress was very friendly and without any request on our part, reduced the final by around 30% due to the issues we had. It has potential but the service and dishes really need refinement.

The restaurant was busy and the atmosphere convivial. The staff were attentive but service was not obtrusive. Each of the dishes we had was sublime, but the Loch Lomond Lamb merits particular mention. Anyone visiting for the first time should be aware that the wine list is both expensive and extensive, so can feel a little overwhelming. However, wines at the lower end of the price range are good and you won't feel short changed.

Our second time at Prestonfield in recent years didn't let us down: quite a few guests, and good ambience for people watching. Service was attentive but slightly clumsy. The food was beautifully presented, from smoked salmon to watercress veloute, nicely seasoned apart from potatoes which our party found slightly overseasoned. Portions were modest and left plenty of room for dessert and petit fours. Wine selection might have been great but because there is no option other than a QR code, we simply chose from the house options.

The restaurant is gorgeous and the food was very tasty. The sommelier was of great help. But I’m sad to say the service was average, definitely didn’t reflect ‘special occasion’ dining, or fine dining. Our server was very friendly but constantly made errors with mixing up tables, giving us salt & pepper in mini pouches like in a fish and chip place, bringing us the wrong bill, not providing appropriate cutlery (spoons), and never describing the food when it was brought to us, which left us guessing particularly with cheeses. I was expecting top experienced service but got friendly pub staff service. I don’t want to sound like a snob but if your heart is on an exceptional experience, you can’t help but feel let down when do many things go ‘wrong’.

Great to be back here as it is one of our group of friends favourite places. We usually come here on Christmas Eve so this visit was special as we haven’t seen each other for 18 months due to COVID-19. Great welcome, fabulous food but service leaves a lot to be desired. Wine arrived after our starter. White wine placed in a bucket far away but no attention to serving it - why? Constantly asking for water. So while it’s always a good experience there is a lot of improvement required in service. Not acceptable given the prices.

Beautiful grounds, right next to Arthur’s Seat so had the wow factor before we sat down! Our servers were really lovely and very attentive. The food was amazing and very good value, but I gave a 4/5 because although the Hake was perfectly cooked, the risotto that came with wasn’t as fantastic. Will definitely be back next time we are in Edinburgh!

Visited this restaurant recently for lunch with my partner and it was up to its usual superb standard. I've been here 5 or 6 times now and it's simply magnificent. The setting and decor is glorious, the service is warm and friendly and the food is unfailingly excellent. I've travelled to a lot of different places and eaten in numerous establishments across the world and it makes me so happy that the best of all of them is in my home city so I can visit regularly. For the overall experience and the quality of food this is, quite simply, my favourite restaurant anywhere. As I'd expect all the correct protocols were in place and, on arrival, we were guided through the process with the warmth and courtesy I've come to expect. If you are visiting Edinburgh and are looking for something special you won't find anyplace better.

Exceptional experience, we each had a fabulous 3 course meal with Champagne. 5* service, we were warmly welcomed, all staff were friendly, sociable and very professional. Would highly recommend The Rhubard Restaurant. Not the first time we have dined here, and we will definitely be back.

Llevé a mi pareja por su cumpleaños. Qué hermoso escenario. Parecía que éramos las únicas personas en el restaurante. Oscuro y seductor. Optamos por el menú de ahorro en 38 cada uno, no podríamos haber estado más encantados con la elección de comida. Fue una sensación de sabor. Me encantaría quedarme en nuestra próxima visita.

Traje a mi tía y mi tío aquí para mostrarles el lugar de mi boda (octubre de 2021).Los controles implementados para Covid fueron excelentes: se tomaron todos los detalles y se realizó la verificación de temperatura antes de ingresar al edificio.Servicio excelente como siempre.La comida era francamente fabulosa y, como siempre, el pan que se servía era super sabroso.Hablamos con el gerente general después de nuestra comida y nos contó sobre todas las personas famosas que se habían quedado allí. . . . la colocación de nombres se hizo bien :) y fue genial obtener un poco de historia sobre los edificios y la habitación. Es ese toque personal lo que hace que este lugar sea tan fantástico.Traeré a mi dama de honor en diciembre para la cena, así que no puedo esperar a volver.

Nuestra cena de aniversario fue excepcional en este impresionante restaurante con un ambiente maravilloso y un personal fabuloso. Este restaurante es uno de los mejores lugares que Iv experimentó, ya que la comida era deliciosa con maravillosos sabores y presentación. El entorno era hermoso en todos los detalles. Todos los lugares que miraron tenían una historia que contar con los muebles más hermosos, fue un privilegio cenar aquí. Lo recomiendo mucho

Almuerzo x 2 Sábado 19 de septiembre.Este es el restaurante / hotel más hermoso de Edimburgo (soy un local). En estos tiempos de Covid, antes de ingresar al edificio, una máquina independiente toma la temperatura y luego toca la máquina manual higiénica libre. Usando su máscara hasta que esté sentado, entonces comienza su experiencia. Todo está hecho de una manera tan encantadora y amigable. Y te sientes reconfortado.El almuerzo fue fantástico ya que la comida es siempre. El personal es fantástico. Toda la experiencia es impecable.El Prestonfield House Hotel y el restaurante Rhubarb son el epítome de la clase en todas partes. Otra nota es que este lugar tiene una atmósfera espiritual tan encantadora. Sin duda por su historia. El terreno sobre el que se encuentra es increíble. Pavos reales y vacas de las Highlands deambulando. Teniendo en cuenta que está a unos 5 minutos en taxi de Princes Street, este es un hotel y restaurante único.Mi agradecimiento al Sr. Thompson por hacer de este lugar un lugar tan especial.Mi lugar favorito en Edimburgo. Xx?

Con el cierre (lamentablemente) del Tower Restaurant en el centro de Edimburgo, fuimos redirigidos al Prestonfield House Hotel y, si eso es posible, fue incluso mejor para el té de la tarde. Y sirven este menú hasta las 7. 00 p. metro. Es perfecto para una cena temprana: el té de la tarde es una forma muy sociable de comer.La comida estuvo perfecta. Muchos artículos diferentes en cuatro platos, en los tamaños y proporciones correctos para comerlos en un par de horas. Los mejores bollos que he comido. Mejor macaron. Excelentes sándwiches vegetarianos y una deliciosa selección de platos tradicionales en el menú regular.Por supuesto, a todos nos gustaría que los negocios prosperasen nuevamente, pero en el momento en que las cosas están tranquilas con la pandemia de Covid 19, puedes tener lugares maravillosos casi para ti. Comimos en el Whisky Room más pequeño de la planta baja y no había nadie más que lo compartiera con nosotros. El servicio fue atento pero no entrometido.De hecho, estas eran mis vacaciones de verano con dos de mis seres queridos. Fue delicioso y memorable, y valió la pena el precio.

Este es un establecimiento muy exclusivo. Hermosos jardines, hermoso interior y un ambiente acogedor. Tomamos el té de la tarde, 60 para dos personas, que es probablemente el té de la tarde más caro que he comido, probablemente el mejor que he comido.Una cosa, realmente no me gusta cuando el azúcar viene en pequeños paquetes y luego tienes basura en tu mesa, los terrones de azúcar serían más apropiados.

Vinimos aquí para celebrar nuestro aniversario y no nos decepcionó. El ambiente es acogedor e íntimo y cada plato era delicioso y bellamente servido. El servicio también fue muy amable y servicial. Definitivamente recomendaría Rhubarb para una noche especial. Si tiene algo de tiempo, pasee por los jardines para ver los pavos reales y las vacas de las Highlands.

Food is well presented however lacks distinctive flavours and nothing has the wow factor. Service is fine but like most places these days, is hurried.

Amazing dining space, worth visiting only for being able to see the house. Food is also excellent although bigger portions would be better, leaves you craving for some more. Staff is amazingly helpful and professional. Highly recommend it
