    Perfect spot for brunch. Staff are lovely and the choice of dishes makes it very hard to choose. Bloody Marys went down well! The Huxley Hash is delicious and can highly recommend the eggs royale Benedict too.

    Great central location in Edinburgh near the end of Princes Street with taxi rank right outside for easy moving around. Nice menu and everything was tasty and fresh. It was quiet and hardly any waiting time for drinks or food.

    Excellent welcome, friendly professional service quick food service. Attentive staff demonstrating a perfect level of attention . Food was very tasty - we had small plates- tacos a wee bit cool by the time they were eaten but still tasty. Definitely recommend this venue quirky decor and very easy booking service.

    Manager showed us to our seat when we arrived then sent over our server (Lewis) to to take our drinks order. We had a fantastic table with thee perfect view of the castle and for people watching. Lewis was very attentive all evening and was happy to share his knowledge and personal experience for cocktails and food options. He really is a great asset to The Huxley and made our first experience truly memorable. We will both definitely be back to try other cocktails and food options. Certainly clued up on Ceoliac options too and I had a fab gluten free meal.
