    We entered Hard Rock and were greater with a smile and taken to our table quickly. Meicha was an amazing serve, they were attentive to our every need and quickly managed drinks and food orders. Our food arrived quickly and tasted amazing. The kids loved to be music and the atmosphere was great. We were in a little place at the back so felt a little bit out of the restaurant, but Meicha kept us happy, even talking to my son about his transformers. They even passed on some glasses that another customer from America had bought for our family to take home. All round amazing night, thanks for looking after us.

    I'm sorry but i felt absolutely ripped off this time. I also was embarrassed as we took our friends based on a previous visit a few years ago. The price is way too much for what was presented. I expect if I am paying £20 for a main (burger) that it would be large enough to fill me up. I am so glad I did not spend £15 on a starter as well. My husband chose a Messi Burger, which in the menu there was a picture of it broken down into what it comes with. We did not spot that to have all the ingredients you have to pay extra for every one. When it came as standard it had lots missing from the broken down burger and I think it was £18.99 for the standard ingredients. My friends were that shocked at the price of the drinks they chose not to have one and they were pretty angry at my recommendation to go there after we had an expensive burger and were hungry very soon after. Service charge added to the bill also which made me think we are not in America?

    Staff need to listen to what customers asking for Waited 20 minutes for soft drinks refill Asked for vanilla milkshake got delivered bill instead No cutlery on table had to go and take from other table when food arrived Got the cheek to add service charge then ask if you will pay it Being to Hard Rock Cafe in London/ Glasgow/Orlando/New York and service was much better. Edinburgh staff spend to much time acting like clowns with each other

    Food exceptional. The greeter guy was great, we had two waiters, the one who took our orders are great. But then there was a waitress who hovered over the two of us to try an persuade us to have more drinks and to take our food away when we hadn't finished our food. I'd get it if we had been there a while but 40 mins sitting when waiting to have an eat dinner isn't long. Then when said we want to split the bill, we then got a diss look. If it wasn't for the other two servers it would be 1 star for service.

    Portion size is extremely large and having a starter perhaps was a mistake as we were so full by the time the main arrived and couldn’t eat all of it, which considering meals are not cheap made it a bit of a waste and not good value for money. However the burgers are excellent and would recommend. We also had a chicken salad bowl that was lathered in dressing, nice but too much and chicken was dry at the edges. Only other comment is service charges were automatically added to the bill and asked if we wished to remove them, which is embarrassing, if you didn’t want to pay the amount added. Should be able to add your own amount if you wish to do so.

    The starters were absolutely the highlight of our meal as the bbq boneless wings were absolutely delicious. The sauce it came with was also very tasty and went with everything I ordered. With it I had the "irish kiss," which is just an Irish coffee with a big ol' head of whipped cream, but mine wasn't filled up all the way to the top of the glass, there were quite a few coffee grains at the bottom, and to top it off the drink was not hot at all, warm at best. Not ideal, but moving on, my main was a spicy diablo burger that was very good. The topped chips weren't very exciting as the bacon tasted pretty artificial. The burger was great and well worth the price, but my partner, who got the big cheese burger, said her burger was very dry. She told me to try a bit, and it was definitely dry by comparison. The service was incredible on the other hand, everyone was delightful and respectful. They all worked hard to exceed expectations and were very friendly. Definitely worth coming back to, if not for the coffee, definitely the service and the wings!

    Service was brilliant and very attentive, great chilled atmosphere with some great musical instruments displayed all around. The one thing that we thought was a major letdown was the burgers, my husband got the 'Messi Burger' and found the quality of the burger really disappointing (quality of pattie was very dry, bland and cardboard like) having previously eaten in other 'Hard Rock' restaurants.
