There was meant to be coconut in that dish, but it was not there. The homemade focaccia was not like any homemade focaccia I've ever seen - where was the crisp top and airy texture?

The only slight improvement needed was that there was so much toast, tatty scone and other drier items (haggis, black pudding) that it really needed more beans / tomato to balance it out. Attentive service, helping us with extra drinks, clearing the table quickly and pointing out the service charge was already included. Clean bathrooms.

Nonetheless, our waiter was a pleasure and talked to us for awhile even with the busy crowd. Will 100% return and recommended this place to anyone visiting the great country of Scotland.

As you enter, you'll go down a set of stairs into a dimly lit bar and restaurant that seems perfect for a sexy date and people watching. One table near us had a group of young women celebrating a birthday and the other had folks who were clearly regulars and knew all the staff. The also had a DJ playing, but not so loud that you couldn't whisper to your date. There was a special negroni menu, so my partner ordered from there and I got a martini (creature of habit). We also ordered a fish dish from the menu and some fries. Service was slow, but friendly (make sure to ask for silverware before the food comes, hehe!), and we weren't in a big hurry. I'd definitely return and highly recommend it for the cocktails and mood alone. Next time, I'd come hungrier to try the bigger dishes!

So, armed with a great desire to eat the best, and without any reservation (but later in the evening), we marched down the Royal Mile to the restaurant and looked as hopeful as possible when we walked in. Our hopes were answered with a quick delivery of my wife and me to a nice table for two and the dessert menu. We shared the Sticky Toffee Pudding. It was the first one we had in Scotland and the one that became the litmus test for all the others. It was REALLY GOOD. The sauce it was coated with was rich and premium...the cake was perfect with the perfect amount of spices in it to make it all feel very indulgent and perfect. Honestly, every Sticky Toffee Pudding we had after this one was a little bit of a disappointment. Thanks, Wedgewood The Restaurant, for giving us a space late one June night, and for the best Sticky Toffee Pudding we've ever had.

I started with a green gazpacho that was delicious and my husband had the salad with smoked lamb. Bread was hot and butter oh so good.

I ordered the cheese course(yum!) and sticky toffee was my husbands choice. Empty plates all around. I don't drink alcohol but they had a lovely NA Sauvignon from South Africa. Perfect. This is a must visit restaurant. We only wish we went back there today!!!

I got the fiery ginger drink and it was indeed tasty. I could stand for more ginger heat, but this is better than most. We really wanted to try their Cullen Skink. We were advised that it was really rich so we might want to get a small for a light lunch. We were so glad we did. The soup was off the charts delicious. It was really rich, but also had nice smoked haddock flavor. The potatoes were sliced thin and were melting soft. It was a really good soup. It was a good think we did not order a big bowl of it. We shared a rhubarb meringue. The rhubarb was delicious, but it would be easier to eat if the pieces were shorter. The custard and meringue were lovely. This is cozy a local community place. While we were there several groups of locals came in greeted the staff and each other.

The service was nice and we were all able to relax with plenty of water refills and pints. It was a stormy evening but if the weather was better, we would have loved to take advantage of the patio area. It's in a very cute part of Leith so I'd definitely recommend stopping in. I had the mussells and they were cooked well-very tender and lots of zest. Dessert is my favorite part of any meal, so naturally I got enough for 2 all to myself. The wine selection was also awesome and my glass of wine was very smooth. The vibe of the place is sophisticated yet casual, making it a friendly favorite for couples with children as well as flying solo and sipping a coffee. I really enjoyed my experience here. What a hidden gem!

Service was outstanding. They were also able to accommodate my dairy allergy without any problem. The gazpacho was delicious and the stone bass was cooked perfectly.

We thought everything was perfectly prepared and elegantly served. We regret that we weren't able to linger with a cup of coffee or after dinner drink as we had to make our way to the Edinburgh Tattoo. Maybe next time. Service was always prompt and professional. We would definitely love to return.

This flashy…read morerestaurant is situated at the top of Harvey Nichols. - Cocktails, green smoothies, brunch and burgers are all a possibility. I went for afternoon brunch in the form of eggs florentine and a clean and green juice. I loved the juice; it was fresh and zesty, and a great pick me up. - So good that I'd slurped up every sip before the arrival of food. Oops! The eggs florentine was a decent eggs on bread offering. Although I have to say I like my eggs runnier, and the Hollandaise could have been a little thicker. Still, that's a matter of preference and, with fresh smoked salmon on the side, this made for an adequate brunch. I've no real complaints in terms of service but our waiter had gone to get dessert menus for us and had forgotten and by that point, we'd had the chance to change our minds and resist the lure of the fruit scone. Also, it would have been nice to have been offered table water. Forth Floor was a-okay for brunch but I don't think it's got anything on the plethora of independent spots available in the city. For that reason, I think I'd opt for one of those next time.

The roast was very vinegary and the meat tasted old at best. Couldn't really eat it and I try everything.

The French onion soup was not the traditional style either and edible but not something I'll reorder if I ever go back. The escargot was delicious but what isn't if you put enough butter on something.
