Terrible experience. Facebook page said it opened at 11am, it didn’t open until 12, the closed sign stayed on the door until the 4th customer entered and asked if it was open. Took 20mins to get a coffee although we were the only people there. I ordered all day breakfast plus size (extra £3) but the menu didn’t say what you get for an extra £3. It was one piece of haggis & one piece of black pudding, both weren’t great. Sausage was cheap, the egg was overcooked and crispy on the bottom, beans were watery, bacon ok. I asked for toast. It came on top of the breakfast which made it soggy, i had to ask for butter and a side plate for the toast, i got possibly stork, it certainly wasn’t butter, i had to ask for the plate twice. Still only two of us to serve. The salad roll was ok, the coleslaw wasn’t coleslaw, it was chopped up lettuce & cucumber with mayo. It came to £22.00 Not worth the money, service was poor although it was a nice setting. I paid with cash (2x £20 notes) they didn’t have change. I was given £8.00 change and informed the staff i was £10 short. They didn’t have anymore change in the till. Between two staff to ‘mustered’ up a £10.00 note between them. Really really poor you cannot it right (never mind wrong a few times) with two staff for only two customers. I wouldn’t go back if the food was free.

Honestly the nicest sandwich I’ve ever had. It was a wrap full to the brim, 3 ingredients of your choice. Can’t remember price but that as well as a Americano was £7.80! Very well priced and absolutely gorgeous. I rarely leave a review but this felt mandatory! If you're ever in Edinburgh get your breakfast or lunch here!

I got married here in April 2022, from the first meeting Stuart couldn't have been more helpful, we asked for some last minute amends to meals, no issue, there were spare meals on the day due to people not turning up and he dished them out much to my Grandad's delight who put away 6 courses in the end! We also had two guests who were vegan and again, not an issue. We had so many compliments on the food, it was absolutely delicious. We had Razmataz occasions doing the decor/running the day- Andy and Stuart work like a dream team - our day was absolutely perfect. With the two of them in charge, it felt like an expensive hotel wedding but at a fraction of the cost. We were fortunate enough for the weather to be nice so we were able to get out onto the golf course for pictures, Stuart got us a couple of buggies and took us round. The golfers were so kind to let us disturb a couple of their games to let us take pictures. A great venue, with beautiful surroundings and a fantastic team.

On Friday night I made an online order of 5 items through Just Eat to collect. On getting home I discovered only 3 of the 5 items were in the bag. Called to try and sort out and was promised a call back in a few seconds. Got the call back in 30 minutes. Didn’t offer to deliver but offered a refund on missing items which I refused and said I thought a full refund would be more in order. Was told only Nico could authorise but he wasn’t in and would call me next day. Nico didn’t call on the Saturday so I phoned to be told he’d been in but had now left and would call me on Sunday. No call back on Sunday. What a poor way to run a business. Won’t be using this place again and neither will anyone I’ve told.

Family treat turned out not to be. Refused to serve a small portion of pasta, garlic pizza bread was burnt black underneath, also had cheese on which wasn't on original order, cheese pizza again was burnt black underneath. Both pasta dishes were bland with overcooked pasta. Waste of £30!!

My wife and stayed nearby and found this hidden gem while on a walk. We arrived without a booking and had a short wait in the bar before being shown to a table. The menu is varied; I had the beef burger, which was tasty, while my wife had the pumpkin puttanesca. She loved it! The service was good, the food was tasty and the G&Ts and beer come quickly (after discovering they were out of Hendricks). We left sated, all for £50. Worth a visit!

First time at this wonderful restaurant, a special treat for Mother’s Day. It is most definitely a hidden gem - a brasserie at The Scholar, a hotel within the grounds of Edinburgh University ‘s Pollock Halls. The staff under the guidance of Food and Beverage Manager Emelise Vassalo, were without exception welcoming and friendly; the menu comprehensive and the food beautifully cooked. I had the delicious smoked haddock in a creamy sauce (Cullen Skink) followed by baked sea bream with a variety of vegetables and roast potatoes. I also loved the generous cheeseboard garnished with pickle and iced grapes to finish! Others in our party had butternut squash with kale and goats cheese, roast Sirloin with varied veg and gravy, an unusual but very tasty beetroot dish. One of us, had to have the hot sticky fig pudding with icecream - so delicious! There was also a complimentary glass of Prosecco for ‘mother’ and music from a singer guitarist to accompany the meal. It all felt like a very special treat .

We visited here on the last day of our holiday. We were greeted at the door with a warm smile and made to feel very welcome. The cafe was buzzing, great atmosphere and it was spotlessly clean. Shown to a table, menus handed out, sorted. Great choice. One large breakfast, roll n square slice and a roll n bacon and tattie scone. Two lattes. Wasn't long to wait, coffee arrived then our breakfasts (the cook might remember us, breakfast was served before she'd put the tomatoes on the plate, such an efficient service 😀). Everything was cooked to perfection, just the way we like it. 2 empty plates and 2 full tummies. As I said there is a lovely atmosphere here. Everyone was greeted with a smile and a friendly voice. The lady doing the waitress was quick and efficient. We are back on holiday in June 2022 and we won't just be having breakfast on our last day. I need to try their macaroni cheese. The scones are huge and I'm sure they be delicious and then there's the tray bakes... you don't diet when on holiday lol. X
