So, to this 2 star review of Vintage Inns. The food was solid, with an excellent steak and decent accompaniments. The service was polite and reasonably swift. Prices were on a par with other chain gastropubs, as was the curated atmosphere. All in all, a 4 star performance. So, why only 2? Because of the petty restriction on using a voucher 24 hours after registering for it on the vintage app. Petty, I acknowledge, so my response is also petty and ignorable by the huge company. A 2 star review and a choice to avoid Vintage Inns for my next, say, 3 meals to deprive it of my meagre profit.

For a chain, the way it's been kitted out and decorated, it feels individual. Staff were all friendly, service was quick, food nice. Very dog friendly. We went mid week, it was fairly busy but didn't need to book. Drinks prices are perhaps a little on the high side, but that didn't spoil the visit.

Lovely dinner with friends, their dog was made very welcome and fussed over as well as benefitting from the free snacks and supply of water bowls. Our waitress Brinaih was absolutely amazing, so friendly and helpful - and supportive when my friend got confused by all the coffee choices! I've only given a 4 for the food as my orange chocolate bomb was described as having popping candy but there was a disappointing lack of popping sensation. Everything else was very tasty and well presented.

Easter Sunday lunch 2025 was especially fantastic, made more so by Aleetzia our server who was friendly and so attentive. It has been a long time since we've had a server of such high quality.

We stayed there for two nights and spend both our evenings there. The staff is very friendly. Rebecca our waitress was a ray of sunshine. The meals were 10 out of 10. Nothing overly fancy, just really really tasty. The bar serves a nice amount of drinks, beers and spirits. And again the bartender was a joy and knew his stuff. We’ve had a few whiskies and a more than friendly chat. Would go there again if we ever get the chance. 100%.

I want to thank the amazing staff at the Melville Inn, for looking after our group so kindly last weekend. We were a group of 13 on a hen party, and the team could not have been more accommodating - they helped us put up a banner and balloons, and even laid out our gift bags and party favours on the table ahead of our arrival. The waitress was so attentive and took great care of us all night. So, a huge thank you to everyone who was working on Saturday 4th April - you gave us a fantastic night!

Food was wonderful. I ordered delivery and it came piping hot and very well presented. One bit of feedback I'd like to give though. I was very disappointed to see the only thing keeping the delivery bag closed was some stickers. So there is no guarantee whether the food will be tampered with or not by the delivery driver. In future I really hope you guys consider using staplers or something like that to seal the bag properly as every single restaurant or cafe I've ordered delivery from has used some kind of stapler or something to seal the bag to fully ensure if the food does get tampered with then the customer will 100% know it was the driver and not falsely blame the restaurant.

Waitress very slow to take order. I was served a chicken burger by mistake instead of a vegetarian chickpea burger. Had to wait for my meal to be remade and then ate it once all my family had finished their own meals. Waitress never apologised for this mistake. Also we were sitting with empty glasses for a long time and nobody asked if we needed any more drinks. We had to get up from the table to ask for them. Waiting staff appeared disinterested and bored. Very poor service and we won’t be returning.

Visited for drinks and food as staying in the Innkeeper hotel next door. Friendly welcome from staff, we njoyed their bar snacks, scotch eggs and sausage rolls with our afternoon drinks. Evening visits, fish n chips, hamburger and chips, sirloin steaks with extra garlic mushrooms, all our food was delicious, we sat in bar area, a nice relaxed atmosphere with a roaring fire. For Breakfasts we sat in restaurant area, it was bright and spacious with nice views of the outdoor seating area. we njoyed a full Scottish and poached egg with avocado on toast with extra bacon added, again food was delicious, and at £10 it was well worth it, fruit juice and coffee/tea. All staff were luvly, chatty and welcoming, they all work very hard. Worth a visit, dog friendly to. :) :)

We were staying at the hotel adjoining the restaurant. We popped into the Melville Inn in the afternoon for a drink and some bar snacks ( Scotch eggs and sausage rolls) 3 for £12 and they were lovely. Later over the 2 nights stay, we popped in, and the food was really good, serviced in a warm, friendly atmosphere.The log fire was nice on a damp winter night. Breakfast was also extremely good & great value as being just over £10. We would highly recommend this hotel as it's handy for Edinburgh & so easy to access from the ring road. Staff,food, and location all superb. 👏👏👍

Arriving late after dropping a relative at the local hospital, we needed somewhere dog friendly as we are from out of town and this place is lovely, there's a dog area for dog people and a non dog area for non dog people, there are gravy bones (for dogs) and water bowls on the way in as well as a sign suggesting muddy paws and boots welcome, there is restaurant table service, bar service and service/order and pay via an app. The steak for me, and pizza for my OH was delicious and the bill wasn't too hefty, good selection of wines, spirits and beer, plus a big beer garden which looks like it would be lovely in summer when busy with guests.
