Popped in for lunch purely by chance and oh so glad we did. Food was amazing and service very friendly. Only negative was that it was rather cold but there was a fan heater placed by our table. This won’t put us off returning when next in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Totally desapointing. This is a warning for all potential customers. We had a reservation for 8.45. Had to give card number to secure the reservation. No problem with that. We had done it with several restaurants around the world. However, about 20 minutes before the time of our reservation,we called and asked them if we could arrive 30 minutes later, since one of us had a health issue and couldn't get ready on time. They said that the kitchen closes at 9 so it was impossible. Then we told them that we wouldn't be able to come, they just thanked us for letting them know, and that was all. Nobody said anything about a cancellation fee. Nothing was mentioned at the site as well. When we emailed them to ask about it, they told us that we should have read the terms and conditions before ticking the box. Well, that was a first timer for us, since we have travelled all over the world and nothing like that has ever happened. Be careful dear people. They have found an easy way to make money, and you will be the victims. Just make sure you won't get ill, have a flight delay or feel sick 24 hours before the reservation...

Our group of friends all enjoyed our lunch here - 2 courses for £21, with plenty of choice. This was about our usual budget, but the wine was not, being somewhat on the expensive side. We prefer not to have music playing, but this was at an acceptable volume, so we could still have a conversation. It was quite quiet on the day we were there, but I imagine when busy it would be very noisy, as yet again there were no soft furnishings to absorb noise. Why do restaurants think this is acceptable? I would definitely recommend Whiskers for the food and the service.

Had a BRILLIANT Sunday roast here last weekend with the whole family. Sis & I are veggie but they gave us amazing aubergine with all the usual veg trimmings. Was delicious and the meat eaters loved theirs too. Excellent value for money and wonderful staff who were attentive and shared their passion for good wine and good food. Deffo will be returning!

Honestly lovely place, food was great and good service. However, we witnessed one of the service staff being berated in a demeaning way by what appeared to be his supervisor. That staff member was doing a fine job and did not deserve to be treated that way. Left me and my partner with a sour experience.

Really good food, very friendly staff. I was disappointed that the vegetarian roast option didn’t come with the same sides as the meat roasts, even though the Yorkshire pudding etc was vegetarian. I also wasn’t told that the veggie wellington wasn’t part of the Sunday lunch 2 course deal so was surprised by that in the bill, especially because they were out of the only vegetarian option that was included. A shame about these couple of things because the food was very good. Edit: Thanks for replying to me. However, I asked the waiter who checked with the kitchen and was specifically told that the Yorkshire Pudding was suitable for vegetarians. I then had some from my mum's meal so I very much hope it was actually vegetarian as I was told. I also looked at the bill and as separate starter and main it was £2 more expensive than the set menu. £2 is a small amount and not really worth quibbling over, however it was more expensive and wasn't communicated that it wasn't part of the set menu.

I could give less stars but I don't want to because we all had a great time, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was top quality. It started really well. My sister and her husband ordered two non alcoholic beers that they loved. Spiced milk stouts. I had the oysters to start and they were lush. So creamy. Everyone else in my party seemed to love their starters too. Our servers were polite and friendly and some amazing smells were coming out of that kitchen. One downside was that I ordered the artichoke main course and it arrived in a coffee sauce I really didn't like. It tasted proper burnt. I was so sad because I love artichoke and coffee but this sauce was not okay, the carbony flavour had tainted everything. I don't believe it was supposed to taste like that. My sister said she could smell it and it wasn't good. The waiter made me feel a bit like it was my fault. :( Maybe it was my taste buds? Anyways, they remade it without the sauce and it was sooo much better. Delicious in fact. The hazelnuts were amazing with it and I borrowed some of my mums peppercorn sauce from her steak which blended so well, all sweet and creamy. 👌. It did mean everyone had finished when I got my food. And when we got dessert menus they took so long to get to us that we decided to get the bill and go home. Overall we had a good time but with the price we paid service could be a bit more prompt, I hate to be rushed but when you need something it shouldn't take too long to find someone to help. Also food that is not prepared to the customers expectation should be easily fixed without question (perhaps you should say caramelised coffee on the menu if the sauce is supposed to taste that carbony). The food IS good though and you can't discount a great ambiance.

1st time at Whiskers Wine Bar & Bistro with family on Saturday 20th November. Service welcoming, friendly and professional with food dishes and wines described in detail. Cosy atmospheric restaurant where you relaxed immediately on being seated. A party of 4, we ordered 2 cheese souffle, sour dough bread with balsamic and 6 oysters, cheese souffle to die for and everything fresh and delicious! We had a sirloin, fillet steak dish with trimmings and 2 lamb shank falling of the bone, beautiful! My husband is a seasoned steak man and took time over his fillet steak as best he ever had...a true compliment .it was not just the main dish but the peppercorn sauce...my so said he could easily almost drink it, creamy in texture, not harsh like others and a light consistency. After having 2 bottles of wine, one a rich malbec which we would have had again but last bottle and apologies but my son ordered the second after advice which was also full bodied and delicious. For desert, being full we ordered 2 lemon sorbet, lively palet cleanser and delicious plus 1 icecream, yum. To finish, the flat white coffee did not disappoint and both my husband and son had long island cocktail...we cannot rate this establishment high enough and will be back as we were in Edinburgh for the rugby international against Japan a lovely end to a great day.Thankyou to the whole team at Wonderful Whiskers!

We hadn't booked Whiskers but managed to get a table for lunch while enjoying a wander around Stockbridge. Nice decor and tables well-spaced. Although we waited a good while for our starters (the restaurant was quite busy for a lunchtime), we were not disappointed when they did come. Both the Smoked Salmon Tartare and Chicken Pate were amazing - visually appealing and so very tasty. For mains we both chose Steak & Chips, and again we were not disappointed. The steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and complemented well by the garlic butter. We liked the fact the chef had sliced the steak, making it very appealing to look at. The triple-cooked chips were delicious and creamy. A very enjoyable lunch experience and we would definitely recommend Whiskers.

Fantastic! We booked a table for Sunday lunch, both having 2 courses for £20.For starters we both opted for the butternut squash soup with bread which was great. The roast beef with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and seasonal veg was absolute delicious! And a big portion too :) My partner as a veggie had the vegetarian option of lasagna which again, was delicious! The staff and service were both fantastic, honestly cannot speak highly enough of our visit. I 100% recommend a visit if you are in the area :) I’m gutted I won’t get another one of their Sunday lunches unless we are back in Edinburgh. Thank you for great food and service!

2nd time here, and still haven't got round to trying the food (think I'll wait until everything has settled down and try then).Opted for the BTG menu (nice touch is it's on the board as well as in the menu - assume covid reasons). Ordered a nice Reisling and wanted an Alberino (turned out to be a really popular wine as they'd sold out), instead the barman offered an equally good Pecorino.Service was good and the staff were friendly. Looking forward to coming back!

UPDATE OCTOBER 2024: ✨ OMG! ✨ That Greenwoods magic is still fully shinin' and I am delighted! Return trip here on our Scottish hols this half term and honestly, it was just as good as two years ago, it fully lived up to the rose tinted hype of my memory and I am so so pleased. Had the courgette salad this time, very healthy, very demure. Fab service, great vibes. Would recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Have already booked our next visit, for December 2024 and can't wait to see you soon 😘😘 REVIEW FROM DECEMBER 2022: Amazing breakfast stack pancakes 🥞 I would fully recommend this place for breakfast, brunch, and everything in between. Bacon, sausage, egg, tomato - and pancakes and maple syrup! Not only is the food amazing, but the staff are warm and friendly and the decor is cosy and modern. We had a table by the window so got to see Edinburgh waking up whilst we ate, which was lovely too. Thankyou Greenwoods for a star breakfast ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
