So, when you're in Edinburgh, you should definitely stop by and eat here! The seafood was fresh and…read moreabsolutely delicious, and our server was amazing--very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was also very lively and modern, which made the experience even better. I ordered a steak, and honestly, I wasn't impressed, but that was completely my fault. You don't go to a seafood restaurant expecting the steak to be the highlight! Everything else was amazing, so I wouldn't even count that against the restaurant. And the drinks were amazing too! Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place. I'll definitely be back for the seafood!

We were in Edinburgh on a Sunday and had to experience a Sunday roast. The Hawksmoor was a terrific…read moreplace for it. Be sure to book. Our server explained how to the Sunday roast ordering worked. We watched the kitchen work, while we waited for our meals. Our Sunday roast meals came with medium rare beef roast, crispy on the outside and creamy soft inside potatoes, carrots, cabbage, a head of roasted garlic, a very large deeply browned Yorkshire pudding, and the most delicious gravy in a small pot. Every drop of that gravy was eaten. I think that the Yorkshire pudding exists to be a vehicle for the gravy. I really did not need any dessert after all that food. But we wanted to share an ice cream. We asked what was clotted cream ice cream. The server explained that the ice cream is made with clotted cream, which has a fat content of 60% and there's no other flavoring. It is not a common ice cream flavor. So that's what we had. The tiny beads of fat in the ice cream was very interesting. It had a sweet cream flavor. The ambiance was upscale with a lot of wood on the walls and furnishings. But at least on Sundays, we saw a lot of families and friend gatherings and did not seem exclusive.

Made reservations for a Friday evening. Ambiance is dimly lit and beautifully decorated…read more We shared the heritage tomato salad, surf & turf, charcoal chicken Ana Mari, creamed spinach, and mac & cheese. Heritage tomato salad was delicious and very fresh. Surf & turf was good - I loved the lobster but the steak was just ok for me since it was room temp and a little too thick for my liking. Charcoal chicken Ana Mari was impressive - chicken usually isn't my go-to order at restaurants but this was cooked beautifully with crispy skin on the outside and juicy tender meat on the inside. Loved the sides of creamed spinach and mac & cheese! For dessert, we shared the strawberry tart and sticky toffee pudding. Both were delicious. I usually don't like fruit flavored desserts as much so I personally preferred the sticky toffee pudding. Overall enjoyed their appetizers, entrees, and desserts.

We were lucky to get this place - we walked in from the street on a whim, not realizing that it's…read morethe kind of place most people get reservations for. A few people were turned away right after us. I had the seafood platter, and it was divine. The sauce was rich and thick, the head-on shrimp juicy. The only thing a little weak in flavor was the mussels - but I think there was a shortage that weekend. The price is expensive, but for high quality seafood, I was still rather impressed.

Really liked it a lot!…read more Came here on a 5pm deal and figured that if it wasn't great then at least there wasn't much lost. Hotel restaurants can be really hit and miss but not here. Nira Caledonia is a boutique hotel in Stockbridge so not somewhere I'd find myself attending usually but a deal is a deal so off I went. I've just realised I was about to score this 4* but actually, when I think through what I'm about to write then I have to give it 5*'s. Not treated like deal scum - little amuse bouche of potato salad with trout and roe - yum, yes please and I don't even like potato salad, but I LOVE it here. Little bread sacks - evil, non GF bread for the friend, plenty of GF bread for me with chive, truffle and ordinary French butter - oh, go on then. Yum, yum. Portions are big, struggled to finish my main - 1/2 pheasant with mash after starter and little extras as mentioned above. Absolutely couldn't do dessert although the plates going passed us looked amazing. If GF, the kitchen can amend dishes to accomodate to let the server know. And what tipped this into 5 stars? The wine. We ordered a Pinot Grigio - I have to confess this is not a favourite of mine as I consider it somewhat bland but yum. Zesty and fresh it worked well with everything we ate. I'd return for this wine alone. So the service was fab, the food, the wine and even on the cheap deal, the food was outstanding. So I'll go back and I'd love to try their steaks which are meant to be amazing!

Really nice Scottish restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh…read more Haggis, Neeps, and Tatties (10 GBP) - These little haggis balls were surprisingly tasty, especially with the whiskey peppercorn sauce (didn't taste like whiskey at all). The neeps and tatties (mashed potatoes and rutabaga) were also pretty good. Three Little Pigs (23 GBP) - The pork belly was a bit dry on the inside, and I don't happen to be a big fan of black pudding, but the rest of the dish was quite good. I thought the apple puree on the side was a nice light and sweet complement to the pork belly. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor of this building on Princes Street and it is beautifully decorated on the inside with lots of historic Edinburgh framed photographs and a classy environment. I had a bit of a late dinner, but it was actually kind of empty in there with plenty of tables available. The staff are very friendly and attentive. The service speed is also fast. Overall, I thought Twenty Princes Street was a very high quality Scottish restaurant and I would highly recommend to both visitors and locals.

During a recent stay in Edinburgh at the Hotel Indigo, I had the chance to dine here several times…read morefor dinner and breakfast and I found it to be quite charming with solid food and service. Some of my favorites at dinner were the venison carpaccio, the superfood salad (really refreshing as food in general is quite heavy) and the ravioli. Cocktails were also quite satisfying and I found that the whole staff was kind and helpful. At breakfast you can order a dish on their hot menu and take advantage of accompanying things like pastries, yogurts, cereal and smoothies. I had the traditional Scottish breakfast and loved it. Huge portions I couldn't finish. If you have a table by the window the view is amazing looking over Waverly market into the historic backdrop of the city. Vibes are so posh and modern, loved being able to spend several days eating here!

Ok, 2.5 stars. I don't want to be too harsh now…read more I was so excited to come here and review the this place. It was a toss-up between Bell's diner and feed, both being equidistant to my home. So off I went to feed wanting to suss out this new local business and what it had to offer. And it was meh. Feed is actually located inside St Vincent's pub. There's a little section in the back for the 'feeders' which I assume is an affectionate term but I just didn't like. You will then need to brave the masses to corner yourself off in an area out the back that's oh so lonely whilst the masses look onto their football game and scream and cheer nonstop. So really one star for ambiance, it downright sucks if your looking for a semi quiet meal without sports crazed fans hollering every other minute at a screen you can't see. Then begins the mission to return to the bar, again braving (and interrupting) the masses to order food. Now with 2 burgers, 2 fries, two drinks (beef and cider) and 6 wings the total came to £47.80- WAY too overpriced in my opinion, and at this point I started listing the higher end restaurants I could have gone to for the same/less cost in my head. So then back to my seat. There is nowhere to look except the wall, it's really quite isolating. Then the food rolled on our after about 10 minites and I realised- I've eaten this food before! And the waves of memories set in, where I had actually had feed delivered to my home just after it first opened, and then I remembered the food being so uninteresting that I actually forgot about it. Hoping for an improvement, I dug in. Wings: with 6 for £10 I'd expect them gold plated, but they were your run of the mill cooked wings slathered in Buffalo sauce. The blue cheese and and celery were good though, I remember when they delivered they put the celery in with the chicken so I had limp and warm veggies the last time. Some improvement, not much. Fries: just fries. From the frozen section. Maybe I was hoping they'd be hand cut or something? Anyway they were good but you could get fries like that anywhere. Burgers: overdone and dry, just like last time. The bread is too chewy and needs to be heated in my view. The house made pickles are a nice addition but it was in with my blue cheese and chilli jam burger- made no sense and was not a good addition. I love to support a good new business but I'm really struggling to find the good points here. The food was good, but there are better burger joints in Edinburgh. This place is a pub and a poor attempt at encouraging people to use this place as a restaurant. The level of noise and crowding does not make for a good meal. It was also not even memorable to me from the last time, and I rarely forget a meal. Overall this place is overpriced and not at all amazing. I'd don't feel the need to go back, and consider this fair warning if you decide to brave the masses too.

Been here many many times for food and in my opinion it's the best burger in Edinburgh. BUT tonight…read moreI'd finished work and just wasn't in the mood to cook or eat anything heavy. Now these boys have recently started to introduce classic basic burgers alongside their more inventive selection. I don't know if it was the organic sourced beef and the lack of any complicated topping allowing the flavours to shine through, but this was THE BEST MOTHER EFFING BURGER I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! Sweet baby Jesus it was 100% perfect. Perfect.

An amazing restaurant and a great find. I hadn't heard a lot about Chop House before booking but…read morecould see the reviews were very good. We had scallops and crab claws to start and both very nice. But it was the sirloin steak for me that was stunning. Without doubt best steak every had. Looked like those you see in magazine pictures and tasted every bit as good as it looked. Even the mushrooms tasted better than most. Wife had lobster and this was delicious too. A great meal and really cool decor. Blues music playing in the background was right up my street too. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

The Chop House is a fantastic steak house. I'll start by saying that the staff were great. They…read morewere able to answer all of our questions regarding the different steaks. My mother decided she wanted the sharing bone in rib for herself (the lady can eat) and the waitress found this hilarious. We got 2 bottles of wine for the table. The waitress poured one of the bottles into a carafe which was quite nice actually. It's got a good buzz about it. Very busy and lots of people chatting and enjoying their meals. One of it's cool features is the dry ageing cabinets which display the meat. For the starter I had the crispy squid which I'll say wasn't really crispy. It was sort of like a squidgy onion ring? Still, they tasted good. I also got to try the mussels and the oysters which were tasty. For the steak, I decided to go for the sirloin which is actually unlike me. I decided to be different. I got it medium-rare and it tasted so good. I chose the bone marrow gravy which was very rich tasting. The menu actually had a fair few number of bone marrow dishes which is great because I don't see it a lot. I chose 2 sides - macaroni cheese and dripping chips. I could've probably just had those 2 as a meal on it's own as they were so delicious. There was no dessert as there was birthday cake! My lovely friend brought a cake which was brought out at the end of the meal. The waitress provided plates, cutlery and napkins for everyone. I can't really fault this restaurant at all. Great wine, food and staff. I will be back here if I'm in Edinburgh looking for steak.

For a name that conjures images of expansive open spaces, Field is a surprisingly cosy space…read more Nestled on West Nicolson, right by the University and across from a rather bustling student sports bar, (https://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/the-peartree-house-edinburgh), you could walk right past the restaurant without noticing it if you weren't careful. And that would be a shame, since it was very good! I came here for a family dinner, and we enjoyed the intimate space, friendly service, and carefully prepared dishes. To start we ordered drinks, and while they have a nice wine list, they didn't have as much in the way of beer or cocktail selection. Then, we had appetizers: White Onion and Beer Soup, Fried Octopus, and Smoked Chicken and Mousse Salad. All very good! Although not my dish, apparently the chicken salad was phenomenal :) For our main courses, I had roast rabbit loin, and my companions had vegetable tikki and a rack of lamb. My dish was quite tasty, and plated nicely, although nothing out of the ordinary. The Tikki (not sure what that is, actually), was crunchy, spicy, and tasted very nutritious. The rack of lamb could've been served a little warmer but was cooked to perfection and of very high quality. Dessert is actually where Field really shone-- we ordered some tea and I enjoyed the raspberry "cheesecake." It was spectacularly tasty, and quite inventive, not what you think of at all for a cheesecake, it was instead crispy layers of caramelized hazelnut crumb biscuit with what seemed like mascarpone cheese in between. Yum! Also tasty, the chocolate mousse, and lemon curd meringue tart. What a lovely dinner, not horribly expensive, and conveniently located in the old town while neatly avoiding becoming some garish tourist trap! An excellent choice for a finer meal in Edinburgh, and after dinner you can walk over to campus to see Teviot square and McEwan hall which look quite nice lit up at night!

We had some amazing meals in Edinburgh, but this was probably the best. Only about 8 tables so it's…read moresmall but we were able to show up without a reservation toward the end of the short opening hours on a Saturday. We started with the Harissa Spiced Lamb Neck. It was fantastic. There was just enough Harissa to create a good bit of spice. It also came with a watermelon and feta salad though which cut through the Harissa spice and made for a well balanced dish. My wife got seared scallops and Thai chicken wings. She said it was very good and it was definitely a good portion but I can't wait. I got the Onglet Steak with Haggis. Wow. The steak was plentiful and cooked perfectly. Super flavourful as there was a slight bit of whisky sauce And spinach in the plate to eat it with. I could've just had the steak and been fine. And that's coming from someone who doesn't eat tons of steak. But the Haggis was the highlight of the dish. Full of flavour. Smooth texture with tons of seasoning. Would get the Haggis alone and be happy. It was served in a caramelised onion spring roll. Added amazing nuance to the flavour. Just superb. Would love to return. Will be sure to make a reservation next time.
