I used to go here for food about a year ago and was on of the Chinese I like food from was really nice but a few days ago I ordered and ended up sick after eating there food
The lady who took our order for pizza was not pleasant at all. She was grumpy and unwelcoming. Pizza itself was not even average. The dough didn't seem to be fresh. Definitely don't recommend.
Un pub tan hermoso del siglo XVI. Como aficionado a la historia me encanta encontrar pubs antiguos, así que tuve que visitar este. Está justo al lado del castillo y vale la pena visitarlo. El personal era encantador (no estoy seguro de si es el propietario o no) y muy acogedor. Mi marido y yo teníamos la tabla de queso también, que era realmente encantador y vale la pena el dinero.
Grand service from the server. Food was usual F&B’s affair - nothing surprising and very reliable.
No idea what usual atmosphere is like, but Friday evening at Ocean Terminal seems as if everything is slow - so not just F&B’s.
Visited with high expectations, but left disappointed.
We arrived on a weekday around 5:30 PM, and the restaurant was very quiet at that time. We ordered a carafe of red wine, the haggis balls, and the beef Wellington for two.
The beef Wellington had a 40-minute wait time, which we were informed of in advance. The haggis balls came as a portion of five. They were decent in taste, but nothing particularly memorable.
The beef Wellington consisted of six slices (three per person). The meat was tender and juicy, but unfortunately, it wasn’t served hot—it seemed like it had been sitting for a few minutes before reaching our table.
We also ordered the pasta with meatballs for our child, which we had read was free during weekdays. However, at the end of the meal, we noticed we had been charged for it. When I pointed this out, the waitress insisted it was only free during weekends. After checking, she came back and confirmed that I was right—it is indeed free on weekdays.
The biggest disappointment was the service. After taking our initial order, no one checked on us or asked if we needed anything else. It felt like we were being ignored. To top it off, a 12.5% service charge had been added to the bill—optional, but certainly not earned in this case.
In the end, I paid £32 less than the original bill because I had no intention of tipping for such poor service. Whether it was a lack of knowledge or an attempt to overcharge us, the staff didn’t even know (or pretended not to know) their own promotions.
Overall, the experience was underwhelming and overpriced. I won’t be returning—and for anyone planning a visit to Edinburgh, I strongly advise looking elsewhere if service matters to you.
