I organised a table of 30 guests for a surprise meal for my fiancé's 40th birthday, the staff went beyond my expectations to make sure this went well. I was provided information on the pre ordering of our meals, the staff were accommodating of changes and allowed us to decorate etc if we wished. The food was absolutely fantastic, not your standard 'pub grub' and they happily provided a GF meal due to my coeliac disease diagnosis. Only negative feedback that I would provide is it was impossible to contact the establishment, I attempted to telephone the venue over 20 times in 4 days but was unsuccessful, which resulted in me having to visit the venue several times to discuss the planning of the meal.

Food was dreadful over sized sandwiches soggy stodgy white bread ,steak sandwich was lacking in meat and had squashed hash browns on it 🤨 out of 6 of us no one ate the bread just some of the filling .Food didn’t even look appealing .Toilets were shocking more like a club toilet running water on the floor and who knows what ,scrunched up toilet paper all over the place and disgusting dirty toilet bowls ,clearly no checks being done and this was 6.30 pm on a Saturday evening Will not be back .

This pub closes when they suit themselves I was in in 2nd aug there was about 25-30 Customers in and they rang the last order bell at 9pm Also the polish manager won’t give pints as last orders nips only So he can get rid off people quicker And I don’t think they ever clean the table through out the day they are abloutly filthy You have to request for them to be clean

We understand the closing of the kitchen at 8pm, but not the reason why the place remains open until 11pm but only for drinking, as it is not possible to order even a dessert or an ice cream, unavailability and desire not to have tourists, we will take this into account

The food was nice..I'd give it 3 stars, but we sat at the bottom, as it was busy, near a door, which we realised after a few minutes, it was the toilets, the smell was awful, when someone went in, and the door banged so loud, it was alarming. There was also a woman with 2 kids that came in, about 8 & 10 ... she let her kids run riot, they were fighting, swearing, pulling the chairs out, and climbing on a baby chair, while she drank 4 blue wkd ignoring their bad behaviour ..we ended up leaving earlier than we wanted because of this behaviour. Sadly we won't be back, you can't control your customers. People don't pay to eat, and watch other people's children run riot, while getting drunk!

Came for a meal today as a party of 7 for a birthday dinner. Was sorely disappointed with the food, chips were cold steak was full of grizzle and the chicken and mushroom pie was so hard it couldn’t be cut with a knife, the poor waitress was on her own having to deal with serving 2 bars, taking food orders and then having to serve the food to the tables to which our table was so sticky we had to wipe before we could eat of it. Plus there was no chicken burgers we also asked for mayonnaise but the lady couldn’t get us any as it was downstairs and she was on her own

I visited The Robins Nest with friends for lunch. What a welcoming place! Gabriel looked after us so well and is soooo funny! A great host. The food was delicious and at £11 for fish n chips for two, totally unbeatable! We all really enjoyed our lunches and snacks we had later in the day ( lunch stretched to after 8pm!) the wine is really good value too with Oyster Bay just £17.99 a bottle. I just loved it and looking forward to going back next month with my family for dinner. Keep up the good work guys. A fab day out!

We had good pub dinner in the Robin's Nest on a Thursday evening in their lounge. After an initial wait to order food (we came at a busy time), we were well looked after and the food served was well presented and tasty. We had a discount code which made the meal very good value for money. The staff were friendly and checked after each course that everything was as it should be. We'll be back!

We had the rib and rump and the loaded surf and turf. This came with spiral chips and sweet potatoes chips plus a pepper sauce. Along with this we had a pint of best plus a Draught coke. The total cost of the meal excluding a tip was £37.50 which I thought was a little expensive hence the 3 stars. On the other hand the service was good. The food was good. The Decor needs touched up.

When we arrived we were told where abt or table was and just left to get on with it. We were not told that there was no table service you had to use the Q R code to order food and drink. The food came to the table and we were very disappointed as it looked like a child’s portion. I felt when I came out that I didn’t really have a meal and that I was going to have to get something later on to eat.

Not been here for ages and won't be back anytime soon. Guy behind the bar shouting and bawling at folk walking in. My starter Calamari, like deep fried rubber bands in a bowl, no side plate, wife's starter nachos, basically just a bag of tortillas served cold with cheese sauce and salsa , no melted cheese. Mains were 2 Chicken fajitas. No peppers, veg was fried tomatoes, broccoli/asparagus, and onion stir fry. Weird. Maybe it was because it was a groupon who knows.

We have been to the Robin's Nest several times over the last couple years and always loved the food and service. However our most recent visit was not great as my son order the surf and turf and was given raw prawns when we raised this we were told they areived pre-cooked, these were see through so not cooked. When we insisted they were not cooked we were told this is how the French have but they would cook it more for our British taste buds which was just offensive as if we weren't refined enough to know this is how you should have prawns... this is how you give your customers food poisoning. No apology given at all! Amazingly the rest of the food was overcooked and dry.

We booked this afternoon tea as a treat whilst away for a few days in Edinburgh but can honestly say it is the worst customer service we have received anywhere. To start, we were kept waiting for 20 minutes, after being seated, before anyone came to speak to us and the room was freezing cold. Food was reasonably nice but when asking for another pot of tea, which we had been advised was included in the extortionate price of the afternoon tea, they simply topped up the existing tea bag with hot water. When we asked for a new tea bag you would have thought we had asked for the world! Everything seemed to be too much trouble and made us feel as though we were making a fuss. There was a teaspoon of jam provided to accompany two scones and when we politely requested more jam we were told this was not possible as it had all been measured out according to the bookings for the day....unbelievable! A little more thought and consideration about the customer experience would have made all the difference but sadly we would not recommend this afternoon tea at all, you would do better in the regular cafe with a sandwich, piece of cake and cup of tea.

I almost never leave reviews, but I felt I had to because I felt so ripped off here. I'm a local and had time to kill before work so I popped in for lunch. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but I got the smallest piece of avocado toast I've ever seen for a tenner. I'm still hungry. I sort of knew it would be a mistake to go somewhere touristy but now I know I definitely won't be back. There are nicer places on Cockburn Street, never mind the rest of the Old Town.
