I didn't want to eat at the restaurant so I ordered takeout and they were perfectly fine with it. Everyone there was friendly and greeted me. They explained the menu to me and gave me ample time to make my selections. I ended up ordering the chicken Katsu poutine, the halloumi fries, garlic Mayo sauce, and a drink. Within less than 10 minutes, my order was ready. I brought it back to the hotel and enjoyed every single bite. This is a must try place when in town. Keep in mind their portions are very generous. I had leftovers for the next day.

After seeing the high reviews on Yelp, I decided to make a reservation for this restaurant. We…read moretrekked up the steps of Advocate's Close to get there. When we arrived at noon (opening time), the restaurant wasn't too busy. There is an impressive bar downstairs with many whiskies. We were led upstairs to the dining area. There is outdoor dining too that would be nice if the weather was warmer. Cool vibe, but it is kind of dark inside the stone walls. The menu is Scottish-focused with seasonal ingredients. We didn't want to overeat, so we decided to share a starter and a main. We got the Scottish venison fritters, which were ok. We enjoyed the pappardelle pasta (roast pumpkin and pecorino sauce, wild mushrooms, spinach, bacon and poppy seed crumb, crispy sage). It was flavorful and didn't feel too heavy. Staff were friendly and it was an enjoyable lunch.

Byron was the only place that was still serving food when we needed dinner around 21:00 on a…read moreweekday in Edinburgh (they serve food until 22:00). We were so grateful they were still open! The mac and cheese balls were really good but they did NOT need to be drenched in the buffalo/cheese sauce. They get a bit soggy if you don't eat them right away...It would be better if the sauce was on the side and they weren't swimming in them. I got a salad which sounds basic, I know, but it was surprisingly delicious. Broccolini, edamame, cranberries, avocado, and mixed greens. Walnuts would've been good too but they were not included. The dressing was light and tangy (got it on the side). My boyfriend got a burger (I forgot the name but he liked it but said he's had better). He probably thought it was decent because we were so hungry at the time...But the fries that it came with were good and cooked perfectly. Overall, a nice place if you want some American food in Scotland, but not anything to rave about.

Although not the cheapest, they are willing to take on unusual requests like a croissant with ham and fried egg. I do find that with larger orders they tend to mix them up, wrong bread type or not use the correct sauce. But I can understand that. The service has always been OK, a bit stretched at times. A nice touch is that they have a Scone of the day and you pay a few pence less for that. They do good business in the West End.
