We had booked previous to our visit, but were disappointed that when the waitress came to take our order there was 5-6 items off the menu, some of which we had chosen for lunch. If we had known this before our booking we would have gone elsewhere. Our last visit was really good but this one was disappointing unfortunately.

Last minute birthday booking for group of us ladies. The food was good and the staff were pleasant lots of mistakes on the night these small errors can leave a lasting effect. simple things I asked for jacket to be hanged told someone will be along no one came. Took 3 asks to get straws for drinks. Some food returned as cold some sides came after food was given almost finished.

Several items on the menu were not available and it took over 30 minutes to get our initial drinks, which were delivered with our starters. However, steaks were cooked to perfection and staff were very apologetic.

Food is fairly ordinary, not worth the 45 mins wait. The Beef Wellington was over rated, over priced and disappointed. Beef is ok but not much flavour. The pastry was tasteless, worse than the pastry in the pie that you can get in any grocery store

Decor lovely. Food excellent but overpriced. Service spotty- I don’t like to be rushed through a meal but we always seemed to be waiting. However everyone very nice. You should note the billing practice- an “optional 12.5% gratuity” is on the bill but we were never given the option to accept or change that. I like to tip generously, but without asking about the detailed bill I could have inadvertently tipp d twice. We were never shown the itemized bill. Overall very interesting but overpriced

We had the burger and it was awful! It was over cooked and like rubber. We could not eat it at all. Gordon Ramsey would have thrown it in the trash had he been there. We were so disappointed! We were looking forward to eating at his restaurant in Edinburgh. They were out of fish and chips at 6:00! I would have ordered that if they weren’t out.

Outstanding food and great service level. Something that gave me a great feeling about the cleaning standards, is that some rude people sat and minutes later left without almost touching anything, but the staff from the restaurant cleaned the whole table and changed plates, vases, dinnerware, and absolutely everything, and started from zero to let the table ready for the next customers. If you add that our waiter was impecable and amazingly kind, and the food was delicious, I would, in conclusion, recommend this place very very much.

Cannot recommend at all, at least for breakfast. Quality doesn’t match the high prices. We had 2 courses breakfast menu: avocado toast was ok, but nothing special, while desert (peach cobbler waffle) was not good - cold and dense waffle with overly sweet pecans, covered by tasty peach compote (probably coming from a tin) and berries. Others at our table had burger as main (again ok, but nothing special) and chocolate fondant for dessert which was very good, but nobody told us upfront it will take 30 min after we finished our mains. And at 11.30 am we’ve been told their fish&chips is already sold off, and only after our laugh at this comment, it turned out they missed their fish delivery this morning. Nobody had asked our opinion on the food while I was paying the bill or at any time we were at the restaurant, so we didn’t have a chance to share the feedback. But if I were Gordon Ramsey, I wouldn’t want my name on this place. In all fairness, all the comments are related to breakfast menu, the dinner might be different

Lovely restaurant, staff and food. Very dissapointed to he told on a Saturday night at 7.30 pm that there were no more fish and chips on the menu, had been recommended and pretty poor for Gordon Ramsays. I'm sure he'd be thrilled knowing this.

Midweek early set menu offer. Excellent value at £19.50 for 2 courses, although somewhat uninspiring choices of burger, fish and chips or poke bowl. Fish was large portion and beautifully cooked. Burger was cooked medium rare and would not be to everyone's taste. Our biggest issue was the price of wine. Vastly over priced for uninspiring selection. £37 for a bottle of pinot grigio. Service was excellent but sadly the wine price would deter a return visit

My expectations were high in that I felt a Gordon Ramsey establishment would be a well oiled machine with strong management. First off, the restaurant wasn’t busy when we arrived; 6:00 pm dinner reservations, and the there were several tables including one next to ours that were empty but not yet cleared of dishes and napkins from the previous diners. They weren’t cleared and reset for another diner for at least 20 minutes after we sat down. The service was slow; had to ask for water refills after a considerable wait. We ordered a salad and a main to share and they brought both out at the same time and didn’t offer a separate plate. When we asked for one, they came back with a small plate the size of a cup saucer. Another worker, I think a drink taker, saw that situation and intervened before we had to ask for a larger plate, which she promptly brought, so kudos the that The food was well prepared and presented and tasted good. Overall, in and out in an hour, which isn’t bad. Wine prices tended high but they did have a good selection. Room for improvement but not bad.

Arrived on time for our table of 5. Ordered our food 15 mins later. 10 mins later our Cutlery arrived and them low and behold another 1hr and 10 mins until our food arrived! The food was amazing but not worth waiting 70 minuites for it to arrive. Very disapointed indeed.

The food was ok … not wonderful … my crispy duck salad was more stringy than crispy … our drinks we ordered as we arrived … took ages … I think they were short staffed in the bar , it showed … I don’t recommend the Bellini spritz … it tastes of nothing … if you are going to spritz use a bitter like Aperol, Campari o martini Rosso … the one that arrived finally was not worth the wait !! Stayed clear of the beef Wellington had read it takes forever … so kept it simple … my daughter had the pork belly … that was the only evening- saviour , food wise … the place has a good vibe … probably to sit in the bar and have a drink … but beer pipes were being serviced to boot !! Anyway … had a good time , but it was the company not the food or drinks … a little noisy aswell … there is room for improvement … lastly … I thought it expensive for what it serves … won’t be back … unless something changes , our waitress and host were mere hostages of the situation beyond their control

Terrible experience in service in Edinburgh location - with food very average. Empty water glasses not filled, had to go to bar for drinks, wait staff very lax and doing almost bare minimum on service. Wellington was fair, but potatoes and sides luke warm. Recommend not patronizing this place - many better options in the city that want you there!
