The best restaurants serving British food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Asked for no ice in my drinks, and he looked like he heard me , 2 drinks given with ice, and said he never heard and no attempt to change it for me .

Parpadea y te perderás el exterior sencillo, este es el bar tradicional más lindo! 6 cervezas de barril para aquellos que les gusta una cerveza, mi vino era perfectamente útil! Interior extremadamente histórico, techo adornado de lúpulos y luces de hadas. Las paredes están cubiertas con recuerdos de cerveza, el servicio fue amable. Gran pequeña parada histórica antes de nuestra comida. ¡Volveremos!

Only had drinks. Cocktail was tasty

Discovered by chance, and a nice surprise! The service was friendly and professional. The dishes are very good, including a perfect fish and chips because it's not greasy at all (its recipe obviously won a prize). And the prices are very reasonable.

Music strange selection for an Indian restaurant expensive for the amount of food one gets taste average

I am so disappointed in our visit as we were really looking forward to a nice lunch and a catch up. We arrived to be presented with the Grotto Christmas menu, not what we were expecting, and at no time was I informed this is what the menu would be!! I asked if this was all that was available, and was told yes. We were hoping for a sandwich and on a website menu noticed Croque Monsieur, Eggs Royale or Eggs Woodland was offered, which we were looking forward to. Instead we ended up with Chicken terrine which arrived with limp rocket and a very small piece of toasted bread. We were asked if we wanted sauces, with hindsight a drop of something might have helped. This was quite tasteless, and in no way looked appetising. Fortunately we ordered curly fries which kept us going. My booking form has a spot for menu, which when you look at only takes you to customer reviews. If I had been aware this menu was what we would have been offered, I would not have booked. We have visited twice before, once for lunch, which we have a favorable memory of, and last year for afternoon tea at Christmas so we had a reasonable idea of what to expect. Needless to say we did not stay for coffee or dessert. And at 4p short of £20.00 it was an expensive disaster.

Family lunch for 12 people reserved weeks before and were told we could eat upstairs in The Avenue at the time we made the booking. On arrival we were informed that the upstairs was being redecorated and that we'd have to eat in the bar. Had we been warned we would have changed our reservation. Food was a mixed bag: my calamares were not properly cooked - some were practically raw. My brother had patatas bravas which were also hard and undercooked. My sister in law's salad was apparently thrown together with the most basic and cheapest ingredients. The general consensus amongst the rest of the family was just OK and average, rather than anything more positive. Such a pity as we have eaten here 7 or 8 times and the quality has always been good. I hope things improve soon.

Would avoid this place at all costs, we booked for a family meal for my sisters birthday a table of 17, I have no idea why they take booking for large numbers when they can't accommodate it!! Not only where we sat at separate tables but the food was disgusting. Chicken curry was sent back as the chicken wasn't cooked properly, this wasn't the only meal that was sent back and not one apology was giving and the meals where still on the bill at the end when we never got them due to being under cooked. It was obvious the kitchen staff could not accommodate a group of this size and were just throwing the food out undercooked! The woman behind the bar (who I assume was manager) was too busy outside smoking constantly instead of serving drinks that we asked for. I feel for the young girl who was serving us and we did leave her a tip as none of what happened was her fault even the way she was spoken to by said manager was disappointing to see. Will certainly not be back here and would encourage anyone else not to. A member of the group has been violently sick since last night, would definitely blame that on the standard of the food

Been there several.times in the past and always been good food and brilliant service but last time I went was 29/08/15 was very disappointing food was just mediocre wouldn't go back if had choice

Craigielaw Golf Club has an excellent restaurant, with a great menu. Best of all, it's open to non-members, and hungry travellers such as myself. Service is friendly and welcoming, and the food, although a touch higher than average pricing, is well prepared and presented, and very tasty too. The restaurant looks out towards the sea over the golf course, and has panoramic views. An enhancement to any meal.

I volunteer here once a week but also go to the Wednesday community lunch where a set 3 course meal is served at 12.30. Open to all, you pay by donation but there is no obligation. Lentil soup with sourdough bread, vegetarian lasagne with garlic toast , coffee and chocolate hazelnut cake was yesterday's delicious meal. There's a friendly atmosphere and willing service. The Storehouse also supports several young vulnerable adults who help to serve and to clear tables - always with a smile. I feel really lucky and proud to have the Storehouse in my town. I hesitated to write this review because I volunteer in the shop but I am also a café customer.

Hit the spot after a late night graveyard tour 👌

Lush boozer, perfect for a tourist family like ours. Big portions of high standard pub food with an emphasis on fish and shellfish. Highly recommended

Fair prices, delicious food, great ambience!

Always have a lovely time here, great atmosphere and staff - especially Hannah who went out of her way to be helpful!
