"My partner and I were doing the set 2-course menu for £18.50, one to have starter and main and one to have the main and dessert. For starter we shared the deep fried salt peppered squid which was nice but nothing special. They offered us sauce but did not have any tartare, only ketchup and mayonnaise which we did not want with squid. For main, I had a beef burger which was possibly the worst driest burger I have ever had. It did not taste fresh but more processed so I only ate a bite out of it. I did expect a better quality burger however this was probably on par with Wetherspoons quality. However, my partner had the chicken burger and said it was very nice and had no complaints. We were due to have the cheese board for dessert but after my main I asked to cancel this as I was not expecting much and we were not too fussed about it. Our booking was for 7pm on Friday and we were the only ones in the restaurant until a family came in half an hour later so not much atmosphere. But we did get a seat next to the window so we could look out which was nice but there was no view of the castle as stated on their website. The staff were pleasant and polite, but during the end of the dinner a tray of glasses was dropped near our table and glass smashed everywhere which was not ideal. Not necessarily anyones fault but it did not help the existing experience of the place. Overall, I was quite disappointed."

Food was great, price was on the high side. Staff were asking me to repeat myself and didn’t get my order right. View menu

It was quiet in the restaurant at 20.30 as we didn’t realise it was soon to close but we couldn’t fault the service and the food was outstanding, very well presented, tasty and excellent value. View menu

Shambolic and rude service, we were asked to order our desserts before our mains had arrived as ‘the kitchen was closing’ at 8.45pm. Our first drinks order didn’t arrive until after our starters had been served. Food was mediocre, steak was over cooked and potatoes under cooked.

Booked for a late dinner at 9:00 after a 12.5 hour tour. The description said bar seating, but didn’t specify that the kitchen closes at 8:30, so we were turned away at the door. Incredibly frustrating experience and the restaurant staff (part of the hotel where we were staying) made no attempt at accommodating us at all or making recommendations. Horrible experience and it ruined our final night on vacation in Edinburgh.
