Monteiths in Edinburgh offers excellent service and outstanding flavors. The food was mostly exceptional, though my wife’s fish was unfortunately overcooked and a bit dry. Despite this, we had a wonderful evening, and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant was fantastic.

The service was excellent, food lovely, the only thing was it was a bit seafood/fish heavy. I couldn’t have a starter because it was too fish oriented. I don’t eat game either so I was a bit limited. That’s my issue though, not the restaurant’s - I had the lamb and my husband had pork belly, both of which were really lovely. I’ve been a few times and will definitely be back. I really love this restaurant.

I had Dover sole, quite small and a touch over cooked which meant drier than it should be. Cheese soufflé was delicious. Lemon posset with raspberry sorbet, raspberry was star of the show with not much lemon flavour in the posset. Spilt our wine - one of those things(?!). Service charge of 12.5%. Service was personal but once our food on the table we had to keep trying to attract attention, not much attention without us seeking attention. So, not worth 12.5% at all. Great welcome and attentive on our arrival. However, we felt the service and attention deteriorated as time progressed . To finish on a positive note, the music playing was great and staff friendly.
