Good drinks but terribly chaotic and slow service. Second time here this year and the service is disorganised. Too many people with little co-ordination.

Mamt thanks to Rene, who served us a perfect White Lady and Old Fashioned with smoke. Wonderful service from him. Front of house staff were disinterested and turning away business (34 people turned away in the hour we were there)

Visited for a pre-meal drink. Placed an order for two Spanish red wines. Ten minutes passed, no drinks. A poor waitress is dispatched to tell us that these wines are not available. Place an order for another two red wines, this time Italian. Ten minutes pass, same result. We leave as we were going to be late for our dinner reservation. Not exactly a stunning experience.

Fantastic service and food. A special venue for a lunchtime treat. Portions are not large but the quality is wonderful. Add a side dish for a larger meal and you can finally have the full experience by going for a starter and sweet without overdoing it.

Wonderful surroundings but let down by food. Had dinner here with friends which was a bit of a mixed bag - the haggis scotch egg was very nice but the main courses were disappointing, particularly the sirloin with ancon dessert choice. Wine was excellent with good selection of red wines. The restaurant has a great look and the experience could be so much better if they can improve the quality of main courses. An ‘ok’ experience.

What a fabulous evening this was! We were lucky enough to get a late booking at this restaurant. Got in a bit early so had time for a cocktail before dining. The bar area was immaculate. Comfy seating looking over to a very well stocked bar. Staff all dressed super smartly and really efficient. So to the dining room. Good choice on the menu, but could have done with maybe one or two more veggie options (yes I realise it's all about the salmon and beef!). Our meals were works of art to look at, and the taste was sublime. Both of us ate until we could barely move, and even then, my main course was only half eaten. Our waiter offered to box up the leftovers, then comped that meal anyway. Absolutely amazing service, over and above what we could have expected. Highlight of our trip, no doubt.

The food did not live up to the elaborate descriptions on the menu and was distinctly average. The starter (haggis and oatmeal scotch egg) was nice enough (not amazing) but the main meal (pork belly) was really disappointing; it looked pretty but the veg was stone cold, the portion of meat was tiny and seemed more like pulled pork shoulder than pork belly, and the sauce scraped across the bottom of the plate was almost non-existent. Overall not worth the money, very much a case of style over substance.

We were seated at the very end of the venue, a nice elevated area within an already lovely space. Although very busy at the time, the large space meant it wasn't too loud and for once I was able to hear my wife over dinner without raising our voices, something that seems more and more difficult nowadays in overpacked venues. We had the soup of the day (asparagus cream), the lamb rump, the pork belly, and the sticky toffee pudding. Everything was beautifully presented and delicious. But above all we enjoyed the exceptional service provided by Olivier and a young lady (sorry we missed your name). Their legitimately caring but unobtrusive service, made a great evening extra special, thank you.

Mrs and I popped in for a drink during the fringe festival period. The place is beautiful with a nice atmosphere. Only thing we were both very disappointed in was the front man was very rude. Seemed very judgemental of customers. Not just with us as we overheard him speak to other potential customers. Would have gave the place a 5 out of 5 but it has almost ruined our experience and almost changed our minds to go drink somewhere else. The place wasn't so busy with people where he could have taken the time to greet his customers properly.

The restaurant offers a great space and it is an interesting experience being there The menu was hovering around the "Comfy & Familiar" range. A good choice for vegetarians 2 of our party needed to go to a Fringe event and had asked to be served first, service was bit slow and they had to laeve without doing the meal justice The rest of us had time to to enjoy a drink whilst we waited The food when served did not reach the potential promised by the menu and the surroundings, at best it was avearge A shame as there is great potential to make this a very good restaurant

I've been here a good few times before and it's normally a nice place to start an evening with a decent cocktail, more recently however it's just been disappointing.We arrived on a Saturday evening early in January and the place was very quiet. We sat down and it took the waitress a good 10 minutes to come over and take our order (a beer and a cocktail). It then took a further 15 minutes for the drinks to arrive. They were good when they did arrive but this could have been partially down to my desperation and thirst! We wanted to order another but there was no server in sight, so I went to the bar. Honestly stood there for 10 minutes with 3 people on the bar and about 3 customers waiting. It was RIDICULOUSLY slow, and the staff had really no urgency about them at all.This is the second time I've been in and been disappointed with the service, and for £13 a cocktail I think I'll now be taking my custom elsewhere. We ended up leaving and going to Cadiz down the road and it was quick, friendly and the cocktails were great. Would recommend others doing the same.

We arrived for a 1830 reservation it appeared not to be necassery as the place was just about empty. the menu we were presented with was at the very best sparse. we oppted for three Burger meals and one fish dish. The Burgers came in a brioch bun, piece of lettuce on the bottom then a slice of tomato with the Burger on top with tomato sauce already added, this was accompanied by a tub of fries, for the price we paid we could of ate at Burger King for a week. On deciding to share desserts we chose one christmas pudding with vanilla ice cream and one apple tarte dish with vanilla ice cream, both came withCaramel seasalt ice cream. On questioning this we were told they had ran out of Vanilla. T he only saving grace for the place was the friendly & helpful young lady that attended to us. We will not be back.

We booked a table at the beginning of December for 6 for birthday drinks at 1600 Mon 16th December. On arrival at 1555. no table was redy- and people were asked to move from another table. We were given menus after 10 mins, table was not cleaned and no effort made for a celebration. The bar was NOT busy. The drink orde was taken after 20 minutes waiting. The drinks arrived after 50 minutes- no apology or service, no snacks or effort made. We had to leave at 5pm. The drinks were OK- the 'cocktail with dry ice' was flat and blue and tasted of paint stripper. Our friends first visit to edinburgh: they asked 'were all bars in Edinburgh like this' Very disappointing and wouldn't recommend. Have asked twice for an apology or compensation- no reply. An extra mark is given for a decent espresso martini., the cost of 6 drinks at £43.

We’d booked for lunch and arrived s little early. We were surprised the staff didn’t want our booking info; in fact the first 2 members of staff just ran off up steps never to be seen again. One guy tried to sort us a table. A scruffy corner in the bar. He wiped the table like we were in a greasy spoon and gave us crumpled menus. He disappeared to find the wine we wanted. They were out of stock. Nice of him to offer an alternative that wasn’t to our taste. Second choice was out too. He struggled for clean glasses. It didn’t feel good. We decided to leave as this didn’t bode well for a pretty pricey lunch. Very disappointing. Seems they had a private party in the nice area, so bookings like ours were ignored. I won’t try food here again.

Called in here yesterday (Monday) for lunch there was 4 adults and 3 kids, got a table at the bar area. But no service, we had to go to the bar for drinks and then we asked for menus twice before we got them. Then I asked at the bar for a kids menu to be told they didn't do a kids menu. I then went and asked someone else and they gave us a kids menu that you could colour in but no crayons or similar to colour it in. We eventually ordered and then waited a good 40 minutes for our lunch, well 83% of it, my nieces kids pasta didn't come till we were almost finished our meals - after chasing it at the bar. When it did come the pasta was very under cooked! We did complain about the pasta and it was taken off the bill, but all and all we didn't have a great experience nor made to feel welcome.

Met relatives in Edinburgh and booked a table in this lovely setting. We were in no hurry and it was fortunate for the service was slow, however the venue was extremely busy. It appeared that they had run out of a number of beers on offer which I thought was unforgivable at 4pm on a Saturday. However getting over that our Polish girl server was lovely as was the food. We had a comfortable 3 hour lunch which was only spoiled by the slow service. We had been offered the dinner menu on booking but had to settle for the bar menu which saved me some money!

...that I have to score this low. Great location for a central edinburgh lunch. But the service was dire. Took an age to be seated whilst restaurant not full, even longer for anyone to take an order for drink or food and longer still for the dishes to arrive. There comes a point where the delay “just isn’t funny anymore” and service here is beyond that. Chicken in a Caesar salad undercooked. We didn’t complain else we would be there now. We skipped coffee for the same reason and unusually for me, didn’t tip either.

We went for a few drinks and a bite to eat at lunchtime on a Saturday. The initial experience was positive. We were welcomed by a friendly waiter who promptly showed us to the table. We ordered a ginger beer and spicy Bloody Mary. So far so good. Nearly as soon as the waiter left the table things went downhill. A waitress now seemed to be looking after our table and came over and just started flicking through the menu on our table. It turned out that she did not know what a ginger beer was?! I'm not sure why she had to come and flick through our menu and not ask a colleague. It was bizarrely intrusive. When the drinks did arrive the Bloody Mary had no spice whatsoever. Not a big problem but annoying nonetheless.

Great atmosphere and HUGE bar. We sat at the bar and were looked after by a very nice Canadian gentleman by the name of Cory. He was new to Edinburgh, new to the Printing Press but he was very attentive, very funny, a great conversationalist and even better, he was an exceptional bar tender and mixologist. We had a such a great time hanging out with Cory that we came back again a couple of nights later. Thanks very much for such great service Cory! All the best to you and The Printing Press!!

The Printing Press is a cool bar and restaurant. We were a bit confused when we walked in. Turns out the main restaurant is in the back and the bar off the street is just that, a bar. However, they so a full service dinner if you ask! We had fabulous drinks though we would have loved a bartender's recommendation. My husband had the negroni and it was excellent. The house gin is great! For dinner we had the fried goat cheese which I highly recommend and the duck is cooked to perfection. The dessert options are limited but again, you can't go wrong. Overall a great option if you are staying in the area, but if you want the full dining experience, I'd recommend walking to the back to the full restaurant!

Nice enough looking place. My friend and I booked the day before for Sunday, May 5. We duly turned up and were seated. From here it rushed down hill. Firstly, there were only two other tables occupied. We sat down and after 10 minutes of not being approached, we started to stare pointedly at the waiter. He came over and said "there was a possible gas leak on the premises and they did not know when they would be able to serve food, but he should have information soon". Off he went. "Excuse me" I called after him, can we see a drinks menu please while we are waiting? Off he goes and comes back in five minutes with a wine list only. Sorry, I said, we are not interested in wine we were thinking of gin or whisky. Off he goes, comes back 10 minutes later with a drinks menu. I think the Printer had run of ink as it was that faint I could not read it. No update on the gas leak. After (bearing in mind there was only two other tables in for dinner) waiting a further 10 minutes, no drinks, no "here; nibble on some bread whilst you wait", we left. Maybe the food here is okay if you get it. Bad service and management. Instead, we found a great little French Restaurant around the corner called Cote Brasserie. Seriously management, under these circumstances you should be directing your staff to give a complimentary drink and nibbles, not just ignore customers. If we had at least got to order a drink even at our expense, we may have waited longer. Also, when people ask for a drinks menu, it may be prudent to give them both the wine list, the usual drink list, and a cocktail list if you have one. We laughing about it later, but at the time, we were astounded by the incompetence. We probably will not be returning to Scotland again (Fabulous place, well worth a visit), but if we did, not to this Restaurant.

I visited this restaurant with a group from my university, and the food and the drinks were all incredible! Tried haggis for the first time, had some delicious gnocchi and a tart for dessert. Cannot reccommend this restaurant enough!

We had a very enjoyable meal in this beautiful building. Our waiter gave professional service (as well as keeping us appraised of slight delay due to large party having arrived before us, he was highly responsive to our raising a slight issue over a fish dish). Strongly recommended for a sophisticated ambience and well cooked food.

Came here for dinner with my boyfriend earlier tonight. We loved everything we had, all superbly cooked delicious food. The service really made it an amazing evening though. We were served by a (fellow Eastern European I think) waiter who was there the right amount and friendly and helpful and really made our evening. We will come back for sure the next time we're in Edinburgh.

A proximité de notre hotel, on a testé le repas du soir dans le pub, le verre du samedi soir au bar et la partie plus restaurant. Trois fois satisfait. Bons cocktails, carte pub et carte resto très locale, tarif raisonnable haut, serveurs patients pour notre difficulté à appréhender l'accent écossais le premier soir, musique agréable dont l'intensité varie en fonction de l'endroit (resto, pub, lounge). On y retournera.

I had read about this restaurant on Trip Advisor before my trip to Scotland and it happens to be on the same street as my hotel, the Tigerlily. The reviews were correct and the meal was great. I had the fish and chips and my daughter had their beef daube and both were delicious. We finished it off with crème brulee, which was awesome. It was very quiet and not many people there, but the food was delicious. I highly recommend it. Service was great as well.

This is a fine dining restaurant and I expected a bit more consistency to the food. We had a burrata appetizer which was mediocre at best along with some of the best haggis I have ever had. The venison was excellent and perfectly cooked while the gnocchi, which was recommended but made with ricotta rather than potato, completely missed the mark and largely remained on the plate. So I would highly recommend the Scottish dishes but give a miss to their attempts at more international cuisine.

Excellent dinner and great service. Traditional Scottish faire with some twists. Long wait for food but worth it when it arrived. Tables at the front windows have a nice street view

Our meal here did not disappoint. Only a few dishes but this made the choice easier. Wine by the bottle was quite expensive. Puddings were lovely!!

Staying at The George/Principal (am told it’s soon to be and Intercontinental). Convenient walk down the hall. Endless bars - 3 of them all well stocked. Shown to a nice quiet table in a Sunday evening shortly after opening at 5:00. They serve a special Sunday lunch which we missed.

We were given a great table and looked after to the highest of standards. The menu isn’t extensive or special. We had the burger which was fine. Not bad but not great either..... just fine. Would have expected something a little more special in presentation, garnish and more than just the easy obvious frozen chips.

I had originally bought a cocktail masterclass for myself and my partner (part of her Christmas) - we had booked over the phone and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating, I had called and changed the reservation a few times.

We were in Edinburgh for a few days and after doing the shops on George Street, we popped in here for a quick drink. Some other bars were really crowded so this lovely little place was just the ticket, not too many customers and able to hear yourself think. A lovely young guy served us, he was so polite and friendly and made time to ask us where we were from and how we were enjoying Edinburgh. My daughter had recommended here but to be honest we didn't even see the name of the place until we were leaving. A lovely bar and very enjoyable visit

Hi I think the girls who serve you have a attitude want to serve you fast no patients in you choosing your filling . Or if you ask a question the tell you "it is up on the menue boards" just a job to them .

You really need to check how you price impromptu requests. 2 slices of toast (which my wee one decided she didn't want to eat) £3.95. This, when chicken nuggets and chips on the menu are only 55p more at £4.50. So, I asked for 2 bananas... £2.00.
