"The food is over-priced, it take too long to arrive, they were massvely under staffed, I felt because I was ion my own I was being ignored. I waited so long for the bill to come after asking for it I had to go to...the bar and get them to ring it up there and then. I was up for the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and it was getting close to the time my next I needed to start queing for it. The food quality was O.K, but the menu was misleading (listing Haggis Fritters when there's only one), and they ran out of the drink I ordered."

afternoon tea is a bit of a british insitution and a lovely wee treat for a girls get together at the weekend.

I think giving The Cosmopolitan only two stars is a bit harsh, but I can understand where they're coming from. The food was delicious, but I couldn't help but wonder where the alcohol was.

lunch here today (saturday afternoon). the place was empty so we had our selection of tables and the staff was very attentive. three of us all had sandwiches with suppe or chips. all enjoyed our meals and the price was very reasonable. View menu

Popped in just to grab a sandwich at lunchtime. It was ok but nothing more than that. Ciabatta roll was a bit past its best and the portion of chips for £1 was pretty small. Then again the service was very good and it didn't...cost the earth.

that is a really good restaurant. most of the areros along the royal mile were packed and we went a block of the royal mile and this place was comparatively empty. the food was excellent and well prepared. the service was also excellent. her stick...open pudding is to die.

we thought we would stop for tea and cake. the service was soon slow. tees took about 10 minutes, they were not too bad. the cake lasted another 15 minutes. the swamps were very dry and the victoria sponge was the worst I had in...years. it tasted like a Tesco value that had just been defrosted and the sponge was so dry.

it took a while until the waiter showed up, and as we ordered suppee and sandwiches, we expected a 10/15min wait. After 40 minutes I asked the bar staff if there was a problem with the order. she was very pleasant and recommended she would hunt after order. another 10 minutes later a passable suppe and sandwich appeared without an excuse or a discount or even a free cup of tea. very disappointed.

Poor service, had to ask for menus and ask to order. The waitress clearly didn't have a clue about food or drink offered. We waited 30 mins just to be served and another 30 for the food. When the food finally arrived it was dire,...cold fatty congealed bacon in my BLT. Fishcakes that were suspicious and soup that looked like water. Avoid like the plague as Edinburgh has far better restaurants on offer!
