    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.

    Whilst the food was excellent and the waiting staff very pleasant - the service was incredibly slow - like 30 minutes for dessert slow. Hopefully be sorted when we next visit.

    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

    Came for here for a birthday celebration and was so looking forward to it , the service wasn’t great at all kept need to look to get someone to service us and they forgot about our drinks a few times, the drink prices were on the expensive side, the food was nice but nothing exceptional they prices on the website were different from the menus in the restaurant, was nice but had the same quality of food in other less expensive restaurants

    Servers/managers lost our order. Waited an hour watching other large tables be served. We were two. Manager made excuses that it was because we ordered starters. Wish he’d been honest. Disappointing.

    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!

    The foot was in the mean, the music too loud and the drinks too expensive. Ad the end I had to ask 3times for the whisky-card. The card was very poor, compaired to the bottles, visible behind the counter. So if you sell so many whiskys, why are they not listed in the card.

    Food was good but not amazing. The burger with haggis (extra £5) literally had a tablespoon of haggis on it. No side salad, no coleslaw just a burger. Particularly disappointing. Drinks were very expensive even for Edinburgh.

    Arrived slightly early and seated promtly but a long wait for both food and drink orders. Expensive starters, and not much choice, so I went for the duck salad main. More salad than duck unfortunately. Sticky toffe pudding though was both delicious and a generous portion.

    Understaffed After the lovely server took our order and we explained what we didn’t want with a burger still came with them. We did watch her write this down The server was trying her best while management seem to watch on. Not value for money and my son was sick as a large dollop of sauce in burger made him unwell so we paid and left. They should not take so many bookings if they don’t have the staff. This was very early evening as well

    Food was ok. Children Mac and cheese came with a piece of plastic. Which is concerning. First that they use pre made cheese. And that made it out on the plate. Thought we would get a better experience on a celebrity chef branded restaurant.

    The menu seemed confused, from fish and chips, to curry, sushi, pasta and fish dishes it was hard to know what was good to order. My partner had the fish and chips which he enjoyed, it was a big portion which we were glad for because I ended up sharing it. I ordered the spinach and ricotta cannelloni which I didn’t enjoy, it was a bit soup like, didn’t have a lot of flavour, and unfortunately was cold in the middle. The bread and olives were good though 👍 the service was great, we had lovely and attentive staff.

    If, for no other reason, his restaurant deserves a five star rating becomes the beef Wellington. It is available only for two persons, and it is expensive. However, it is excellent. We actually ate here twice. The second night I have the steel head sea trout, which was also quite good. To top it off, one should certainly try the sticky toffee pudding.

    So, so, so slow. We sat down at 5.30pm and did not get main courses until 7.30pm. Some of our party had to catch a train at 8.30pm and left with bags containing their desserts. Everything was slow, ordering drinks, getting menus, taking orders etc. This was not because of a shortage of staff, at one point I counted 8 staff members standing around the computer at the entrance while we were waiting to order drinks. We asked for the bill when the main courses finally arrived and, on close, examination discovered we had be charged for a dish we had never ordered. This was agreed but the restaurant's card machine did not have the facility for electronic refunds so we were given cash. Lots of staff walking around but often empty handed, kitchen looked busy but uncoordinated with the servers. Perhaps the problem is that although its a new restaurant they are still using paper to take orders and give them to the kitchen. Even small cafes have wireless systems for transmitting orders to the kitchen and tacking them. Anyway whatever the reasons. Very poor, avoid. Perhaps Gordon Ramsay could visit and sort them out!

    Went for the Beef Wellington, but not the "experience". The beef was very tender, but not at all seasoned. Had to add salt and pepper to everything. The mashed potatoes were glue with no flavor at all-absolutely terrible. Thought there was no way to mess up Sticky Toffee Pudding in the UK, but this restaurant proved that wrong. We practically needed a knife to cut thru it-bone dry and tough. You will find better places to eat, do not go here-even for the chance to say you ate at a Ramsay restaurant. My daughter had the Butter Chicken and liked that, but it was very spicy. My son had the sirloin steak and liked that, but same mashed potato issue.

    Had to wait for over 30 mins for our table yet the restaurant had a 15 min tolerance for their customers then give the table away, but I had to wait c30mins? Starters were very good, main meals were not. Ordered the fish and chips which the fish came with soggy batter and very pale like it had not been cooked long enough. Was definitely not crispy but all wet and soggy. The mac cheese had been kept warm far too long and was all dry. Didn’t eat either yet no one asked why? Been there twice before and very good but unlikely to return. Personally I think Gordon would have gone nuts at them serving fish and chips like this. Was horrible.
