"Came here for a brunch with the girls after finishing University. The drinks are absolutely gorgeous! The food was okay, we had a platter to share, it was nothing special. The pizza was very good. I had a great time here until the waitress was incredibly rude. We added our student discount and she stated we didnt look like students and walked off. We also removed the service charge (to tip in cash) and the women again was incredibly rude and stroppy, said okay purposefully avoiding eye contact and stropped off again. Didnt leave the tip in the end, disgusting attitude. She was very short and rude to us the entire time."

"First time visiting. The staff were really friendly and the food was generous in portion size and well presented. We had the goats cheese croquettes,mackerel to start and steak and chicken skewerr for the main course. Will definitely visit again.....ask for the Early Bird menu as we were not given it but it saved us money!"

"I took some nonJewish teachers from my department for an evening meal and they were very impressed although the fish was incredibly expensive the salads and Thai food were much more reasonable and the portions were very generous. The salads were delicious and the restaurant very happy for you to customise your salad to suit preferences. Overall an excellent experience and all would be happy to return"

"Beautifull hotel, I guess one can call it trendy , but I just don 't understand how they can justify the price £130/night and that most of the time will go to £160 as they run out of entry level ones. So I guess the answer is there because people pay for it! But let 's just make some relevant comparisons Birmingham Grand literally in the heart of the city, brand new, 5* hotel, with all recently decorated rooms to the highest standard is £135 15 for breakfast. Needless to say rooms are air conditioned, fully equipped and genuinelly very posh. Hotel has lifts, has porters and the service is top notch. The Lion is barelly 4* just for trendiness alone, but the actual quality of furnishing is closer to 3*, has no lift and you will be lugging your bags up and down mutiple flights of stairs (and I mean multiple like 8 going up and down) trought narrow corridors to mediocre room (nothing wrong with it just mediocre) which isn 't even air conditioned. Sorry, I just don 't get it. That said restaurant is good fully fine dining if you are into it. Althought in my oppinion it doesn 't fit into the rest of the hotel. So it is ~3.5* hotel which is very youghtfull and trendy and then you get 5* fine dining with very tiny portions for the dinner (which is not criticism of restaurant, it is very good on it 's own). In conclussion I just don 't get what niche this hotel is filling, who stays there and why. The price for the rooms should be £75 95 tops. Shreesbury is not exactly prime tourists destination either (at least shouldn 't). But it seems it is working out for them, I just would not recommend it, I would not stay in it again and it is definatelly not worth the price. Neither in isolation, nor in comparison."

"Located inside the Intercontinental Hotel on George Street, this restaurant serves as a breakfast lounge, bar, and dining room. The name of the restaurant is a nod to its history as a printing press. The decor has a slightly dated feel, with dark and dim lighting and retro light fixtures. The drinks menu features cocktails named after famous people and their preferred drinks. However, the food menu is average and uninspired, feeling like it belongs to another era. The dishes themselves fell short of expectations, with the cod appearing undercooked and the accompanying side dish being cold. The charcuterie board also failed to impress. With so many other excellent dining options in Edinburgh, I will not be returning to this restaurant."

"The food was excellent and the staff were friendly at this restaurant. However, we were disappointed with the service and seating arrangement. We arrived at 12 o'clock and received our food 45 minutes later (although there were 7 of us). No one came to clear our plates or offer dessert menus. We were in a rush to attend a show at the SSE Hydro, so we asked for the bill and left without ordering dessert, even though we had booked our table in advance for a two-course meal. It seemed like there were not enough staff for the number of diners, and our tables were awkwardly placed next to a wall, making it difficult to get in and out. I would consider returning, but I believe they should have more employees during peak hours."

"We were unable to order any food at this restaurant as they had run out. They didn't have chips, but offered us another potato dish instead. Unfortunately, I didn't get to try their burger and mash. The daily special was Shepherd's pie, which was different from what I was anticipating - I was hoping for chicken or steak. I mistakenly assumed it would be a pastry dish. Despite the food shortage, the waitress was pleasant and the service at the bar was quick and efficient, with a friendly bartender."

"Good hotel, staff are friendly and helpful. The people next door was shouting at each other all night so I did not get a good nights rest. The worst thing is as we needed to leave early I really needed that sleep. Concerns about key as it was 1 key for our door that also opened a large glass door that made me concerned if other peoples keys could open our door as seems its a shared lock ?. My partner has chosen not to return so this will be reflected in my rating."

"I have been here before with my family to celebrate a birthday and we could not fault a thing. Decided to treat my friend to a meal out and again the food and service were excellent. The only down side to this visit was that we had a early booking and the restaurant was cold. By the time we left the room had started to fill up and was a bit warmer."

"the 4th time that I was here in the room of a month and here ate 3 out of 4 of these visits. great eating, friendly and helpful staff and the beer is also not too bad. the person I suspect is the manager, nothing seems to be too much annoyed for her. try the chili and cheddar burger (I am really hard to please with burgers, and this is the best pub burger I had in the old). also, deep fried pickles."

"We waited quite a while for our meal to arrive, it was a Friday evening, yet the restaurant was deserted and the ambiance a little subdued. When the meals finally arrived to say I was disappointed was an understatement, it was one of those meals, pretty, but tiny, more like a starter than a main, a medium plate with an island of two small lamb chops, two very small thin carrots, a tablespoon of pureed peas and a potato oblong with a couple of drizzles of black sauce dotted about. I tried to savour every mouthful, but it still only took a few minutes to eat, tasty, yes, but left me still very hungry, at £21,50 I didn’t feel it represented value for money and yes, I could have had a starter, sides, desert and a glass of wine, I’m sure would have left me more satiated. At quite a considerable cost?"

"We visited Othello's restaurant on Valentine's Day evening; it was very busy, the clientele was mainly pairs of a certain age. There were many young, polite and professional employees who were attentive without being intrusive. The menu was unusual, I felt for a Valentine's meal We chose both King Scallops, Filet Steak (both on a supplement). We received a large amuse book that was very tasty before the starter and a beautiful champagne sorbet between starter and main course. We waited about 30 minutes for our main course and then asked a waitress when we were overlooked; she was quick to apologize and explore the problem and followed our meal. The steak was of good quality and the proportion was more than sufficient. We chose different desserts - a cheese cake and a tangent parfait and both were declared delicious. We felt that the cost of meal reflects the quality of meal, service and event and we look forward to the return to either try the Table d'hote menu or the Al la Carte menu"

"Booked for New Year's Eve. £69.99 per head. Service adequate but I have to say the food was not good. Pre prepared and not fresh. The amuse bouche was a piece of French bread with smoke salmon, more like a badly done canape. The Starters were accompanied by limp salad, the plates they were served on very cold evidencing they had just been sitting uncovered in a fridge. Very odd rock hard goat's cheese, and for others, 3 tiny pieces of dry sardine. As for the main, beef wellington, the fillet of beef overcooked and resembled a piece of shoe leather, I doubted it was even fillet. The pastry was raw on the inside and undercooked, and soggy on the outside. Think had been pre cooked and microwaved. Worst beef wellington I have ever seen. We all sent back and chef offered rack of lamb.Sadly this was presented raw, not rare, with huge chunks of broccoli, soggy roast potatoes and carrots. Those who ate fish said was adequate, but the spinach and ricotta filo main had by one was also raw and underdone. As for the apple tart, again some received ice cold from the fridge, others luke warm although the flavour was good. Actually spoilt New Year's Eve and we left hungry. What was even more annoying is that I believe we were not charged for 2 bottles of wine, but were expected to pay for the nasty food. I would rather have paid for the £60 wine. I will be contacting the restaurant owner for a full refund, minus the wine. I can't believe we were actually charged £75 a head for the meal, pretty disgraceful in my opinion. We actually doubted whether there was a chef in the kitchen......"
"We made a reservation at The Ship to bring our family together. When we arrived, the entire team took great care of us and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. They even brought us extra appetizers to make sharing easier and recommended a great wine for us. The service was fantastic, with attention to detail like ensuring a clean glass for our dessert. We were able to linger at our table all night without feeling rushed. The food was delicious and of high quality. We will definitely return and highly recommend The Ship to anyone who will listen!"

"Cannot comment on Sheldrakes as between OpenTable and the restaurant my Mother's Day was ruined. I booked a table for 4 last minute on OpenTable web page only for Sheldrakes to contact me later on to advise that the booking was cancelled as the restaurant was fully booked. How can a computer system accept my booking and then for it to be cancelled? I kept getting review requests from OpenTable so I can only assume they believe that my booking had been honoured. Is it a case of the computer database being wrong or human input either way thank you for ruining the day."

"Upon our arrival, the restaurant was still in the process of being cleaned. The bar service was lacking, as they could only offer a bottle of Prosecco instead of a glass. The food was decent, but nothing exceptional. Overall, the experience was underwhelming and we would not choose to dine at this restaurant again."

"It is all to easy to respond to feedback requests by giving 5 stars. In this case however there was no exaggeration. For the Tuesday steak night my wife had sirloin and I had rib-eye steak. Mine was the best I have had for many a year. Service was welcoming and attentive. The evident concern was that we should enjoy ourselves. This target was well met. Then came the dessert. Wow ... chocolate fondant. A real pleasure. Thank you all for making our short stay just what we wanted. We definitely plan to revisit in the not to distant future."
