"We also visited Stac Polly in Edinburgh on night 12 of our 15 day tour. While I found the food to be good, it was not exceptional and there were a number of issues.There were 38 if us squeezed into a room and the waiters bumped into those in the center aisle every time they walked by. The room was very noisy.Napkins were thin and flimsy, much like tissue paper. I'd expect cloth napkins at a restaurant of this caliber.They brought bread to the table. It was a sliced french bread stick, it was soft and tasted ok, but they only brought enough for 1 slice per person and we had to request more bread, twice (maybe the waiter didn't hear or ignored request first time).The pepper soup was good but there was not a lot of it. As you'll see, small portions are the way this restaurant works.I ordered the lamb, it came with green beans and potato. The food was good, it was not exceptional, and the portion was small. Perhaps 100g of lamb.My companion ordered the salmon, it came with pasta and 2 tiny pea pods. The salmon was cooked well and tasty; the pasta was starchy and only average tasting. Not enough pea pod to have an opinion.Dessert was cheesecake with defrosted frozen berries. It was good but I doubt that they could have sliced it any thinner. The berries looked like different types but all tasted the same.They waited until we had finished the cheesecake dessert before bringing coffee and tea. The cups were half full. I had the coffee it was unremarkable, tasted like freeze dried coffee. I had to ask for a full cup of coffee and wait for it to come.Service was slow and at times disorganized.I left the restaurant feeling that I needed to have another meal as I was not full.Bottom line, I will not revisit this restaurant and cannot recommend it to others."

We were the only guests however the food was very good. We had a variety of plates, the haggis was outstanding. Nice wine served by a friendly staff

Great traditional hidden gem, if you are staying close by i recommend it strongly! Presentation is also top notch! At first when you walk in you might be confused because there is nobody upstairs, but don’t be afraid to go downstairs:

On 12th night of a 15 day bus tour and this is best dinner of them all. Starter was a red pepper soup.. main course was a simply but perfectly prepared rump of lamb ... Green beans... Lyonnaise potatoes with wonderful gravy. Dessert was a small but perfect slice of delicate cheese cake an seasonal berry sauce.

We had a bit of a crisis on entering. Nobody around to greet us, and it appeared we had go down some stairs. My wife took exception, look how dirty these stairs are, i dont want to eat here, and it look a lot of persuasion to get her downstairs. There is a nice ambiance, and good table settings, but the menu was very short, and the restaurant noisy. There appeared to be only one staff member serving, no apparent host of any nature. The server was basically untrained. And as far as the food was concerned it was only Ok, nothing memorable

We booked a table at this city centre restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary recently. On arrival we were shown to the downstairs dining room, where we were surprised to see that we were the only diners. The waiter assured us more people were expected. The menu was not bad, with a good choice of dishes. The food we ordered wasn't terrible, but the lamb I had had sinew right through it, which made cutting it difficult. By the time we had finished our dinner and bottle of wine, we were still the only diners. Not the anniversary celebration we had hoped for.
