Outside is on full display with the columns decked out with Christmas lights. It's beautiful which needs to be seen. You won't miss it when you're in Edinburgh. Even the family tried to get a reservation during the holiday for dinner which wasn't available. People usually book way in advance when it's the holidays. And that's not just for the main dining room. They couldn't even get it for the bar area. Well, it was after the holidays when we walked in asking if there was anything available for a drink. Our luck, the lounge was available. Dining room was still all booked out. It was fine, lounge when you walked in gives you that gentleman smoking lounge vibes. The dark wood, tufted seats and the library wall. Faux I believe which maybe alcohol behind it. Even the bar area was quite nice. As it was the holidays or after, the place was still well into all the decoration. The detail they put into this place is magnificent. The whole aesthetic and atmosphere was amazing. Regardless if you in the main room or one of the lounge, it still worth it. There were loads of people just coming in to take pictures. All the staff were well dressed and presentable. The Dome, an institution of Edinburgh that is worth checking out. For a meal or drinks or even a wander through.

The cocktails lost, great selection. Friendly staff. Food wise, didn't get anything to much on as we were just on a drinking binge. The surrounding pub had their fare share of food and drinks as well. You'll have your selection of burgers, pub food, and so on. Definitely would come back to this place and for sure will give the other gastropub a try. Love the cool vibe and outdoor feel even though your inside. Perfect shield from Scottish rain if your needing to feel like your outside.

Despite it's upmarket reputation, I've always found the merchant city to have more of a "neds with…read moremoney" feel, with venues like Arta crawling with foul mouthed 40 somethings in ill fitting suits, waving their fistfuls of tenners. Thankfully, that isn't the case here, as the Metropolitan is exactly as you'd imagine it to be from it's name. sleek, shiny, shallow, but with a brilliant cocktail list and a buzzy enough atmosphere, even if it is often full of people chattering about property prices. The cocktail list is huge and unusual, thankfully bereft of french martinis, and the staff were very friendly on our visit. It's by no means cheap, but definitely a pleasant way to spend an evening.

That location is beautiful as it looks out to the castle. Dinner with a view. Anyways, the times I've visited this place it has alway been great. This visit we didn't make a booking as it was mid week and during lunch time. When you walk in, there's someone to greet you and take you to your table. The restaurant is in amazing building located in the heart of town. Main dining area is upstairs. I think there's a bar and lounge area on the main floor where hostess table is. The way the restaurant is built. Main dining room is on the level above hostess table. The decor is quite nice with amazing decors and two fireplace on each side. An impressive wine display on both side and there's a little seated area that's above the main floor. Restroom is another flight of stairs up. There's also a little hidden dining area where it's a Romeo and Juliet experience. A little romantic table that's just for you and your spouse that looks out above the main room. If you go up another level, there's the private dining room for special events. Fun dining experience with the sunken seating and a flat screen. Also around the corner from that is more of an intimate group dining experience. I don't know if menu changes seasonal but this visit we tried the three course menu. They also offer a two course. For the price, it was worth it. You choose from a starter, entrees and a dessert. Drink menu was good and they pretty much had a good selections on wine and mixed cocktail. For the meal, a couple of the starters of skewers, chicken tacos which is odd for Thai but good and the chicken karage. Basically chicken nuggets. A single serving of the hot and sour soup. Even though it's a Thai restaurant, it had some mix items. Starters were quite nice and well presented. Entrees, the panang curry, a green curry, pad thai and Malaysian curry. Food was quite flavorful and tasty. For the price it's a bit pricey for Thai but is good. I've always had a good experience and meal each visit. One of my favorite restaurants in Scotland.

There is no sign on the outdoor of the building so just trust the map and go inside - it shares space with an Italian restaurant. The restaurant is gorgeously decorated and fancier than we anticipated.

We came in for lunch so not too many people in - we were served quickly and had great service.

This meant that on a recent pre-holiday airport wait we decided to skip the Weatherspoon's and go for some champagne instead. Instead of being in a bar, your more at a station in the middle of the departure lounge, but actually I quite liked that. (Plenty of people watching opportunities) The menu has food and drinks on it, but we just went with champagne. The cheapest one it had to be though and that was still bloody expensive! Still, it was lovely and that was the main thing. If you are at the airport and don't want to be stuck in the pub with ten stag and hen party groups, I can recommend this place to you. A bit more peaceful, nice food and drink options and fast efficient service. Just bring plenty of cash.

Flutes and Tails replaces the previous seafood bar that was here and seems a wee bit more inviting. There's a range of drinks, not just fizz and the cheapest glass of fizz starts at £9.95. Some classy looking reds and white wines were on the menu but they had house wines too for more of a budget friendly option. I ordered Pommery (£12 a glass ) and pop corn (£4.50). I liked the snack option - I wanted something to soak up the alcohol as I'd knew I'd eat in London plus eat fish on the plane so this was new from the previous incarnation. Joe and Sephs pop corn is also gluten free and they had 3-4 different types which I liked. The bowl was actually quite a big bowl so pretty filling. Service was friendly and efficient. Decent pour of champagne too and toddled off a bit buzzed for my flight :-) I'd probably come here again if I'm on a later flight as it was a nice wee treat to start of my travels. #yelpmission

We were lucky enough to just show up and grab a semi-circle shaped booth by the bar without any wait. We LOVED that a) the cocktail menu clearly stated "All drinks vegan, please inform staff of any allergens before ordering" and b) that they had the shape of the glassware next to the drink name. The bartender even took some time to make recommendations based on both what was most popular with customers and what the house/staff favorites were. We ended up going with the Porty Licks (gin, pineapple liquor, passionfruit, toasted almond topped with edible flowers) and Green Room (bourbon, peach liquor, lemon, peach, basil yuzu). Both were really well balanced drinks! Next time I'd get the King Khan (spiced rum and a mango oat lassi) or the Hare Krishna (mango, oat milk, chilli, coconut cream, and cardamom - sounds like a lovely non-alcoholic beverage and dessert)!
