A very warm and welcoming atmosphere, and I often recommend this restaurant to my friends, as it is fairly priced. Being students, this is a big point of contention when choosing to go out, but a homey feel and good hot food is always promised at such a reasonable price which is lovely. I have had a wonderful evening, and a special thanks to Jack and Jade, who were the members of staff who stood out for their love of customer satisfaction and cheerful nature. In my opinion, the best Toby Carvery in Edinburgh, and I will be back very soon.

All in all i would highly recommend this little gem of a place to any passers by, it's literally 2 minutes off of the M74, if you do decide to stop in you certainly wont regret it! This is now in my notes and I'll be nipping in for sure next time I'm passing! NOTE; we did not stay the night in a room however if they are anything compared to the rest of the inn then they will be excellent!

Perhaps the problem is that none of us ordered a roast, which is what they're known for. Personally, the cocktail I got was the best part; a rose and raspberry sort of spritz with vodka. Simple, light, and not sweet, it was perfectly refreshing. The vegan risotto was much less so. I deeply appreciate the ambition to put something unique and more elegant on the menu for plant-based eaters. It was certainly well plated. However, my favorite part was the three cubes of Violife feta on top, as the rest was tasteless. Rice dry enough to be pilaf, zero flavor, and about 5 woody ends of asparagus. I'm grateful that they removed it from the bill, as it was largely inedible. Again, I applaud and encourage the effort to add thoughtful options for people of all dietary needs! I'll assume I went on an off-day based on all the other glowing reviews.

First, all the staff were wearing excellent Christmas jumpers. (points!) Second, the interior is lovely with artistic lighted decor and wood tables and floors. Third, the drinks that got us started were delicious and well made. Then there's the food. Nom!! Okay, admittedly I'm a cheapskate and would probably never treat myself to a place with a price tag like this one. But if you're looking for a nice meal in a lovely environment, this place is worth scoping out. I had three courses, and each one was delicious. As a veggie, I didn't have much options, but I was delighted of the quality of the things I did order: some kind of pumpkin(?) soup, risotto, and cheesecake. I mean, seriously... Usually risotto us boring at best, but this was cheesy deliciousness. A lovely meal! And bravo to the servers who kept pace with a large group.

The food is a bit pricey, but I loved the charcuterie platter that came with multiple dipping oils. The vegetarian platter was also really nice (I would've liked to combine the two!) and the full Scottish breakfast was tasty and very filling! The pancakes, though, were lackluster (but this is coming from an American point of view), not very fluffy or well browned but they did give a heaping amount of bacon. I'd recommend it for a solid, picturesque spot if you're in the area but not necessarily somewhere to go out of your way for.

It wasn't bad, just that i expected higher standard from the IVY. Generous portion for the sea bass (which i love), however, the skin was not quite as crispy as I would prefer (it looked like the chef tried but the sauce made it soggy). The mushroom sauce with spinach's and beans(?) was not a balanced match for the dish somehow. Our party ordered 3 sea-bass and the consensus was similar. The dish wasn't executed as good as the description. The fish and chip was tasty with the pea mash. The burger from the Kids' menu was bigger than McDonald's Big Mac and delicious.

Both were delicious--so tasty and satisfying! The chips that came with them (sweet potato for her, skin on for me) were perfect, and the mac & cheese side we split was also totally indulgent. We had sticky toffee pudding and a brownie for dessert, and those were so good they vanished pretty quickly even though we were already stuffed! We also got lucky and got to taste some of their soup of the day AND some fudge--both were heavenly. I'll be going back just to have some more of that soup, for sure. We both were really pleasantly surprised at how good the serving sizes were; I know I went in pretty hungry, and I came out COMPLETELY satiated. To top it all off, the waitress was an absolute delight. She was so sweet and patient, and she really went out of her way to spoil us! It almost felt like being at a friend's place.
