Whilst the service was fantastic and Jesus was friendly and professional, the food was absolutely poor. The whole experience lacked any flavour and as for the starter / they ran out of sourdough only to be replaced by cold French stick the with steaks being warm, accompanied with cold tomatoes. The fries were good though. Onion rings were frozen.This restaurant is all about the name / no subsence! Would not recommend it. Treat yourself to a beefeater or miller and carter instead.Atmosphere wise it was also 40% full.

Food was adequate.. it was nice but nothing amazing. The service though was fab and felt 5 star. We had a lovely time but wouldn't rush back ?

The food was very good and the staff members were very respectful and efficient. We retired to the bar area afterwards and had a relaxing drink or two in a convivial atmosphere.

It’s bad when a steakhouse doesn’t do steak well!I was served a cold fillet of steak and prawns initially. I mentioned to the waiter and in fairness a new one was brought out, but now I’m served a bad cut that’s cooked well done (ordered medium)! Chips were also undercooked.Myself and my wife ended up eating our meals at separate times due to this (her fish and chips was good).Atmosphere is non existent, just a standard hotel lobby style restaurant. Disappointed as we have been to many Marco Pierre restaurants, and the ones in Dublin for example are always exceptional.Staff were friendly and tried to help but lacked the passion of the staff we normally experience in a Marco establishment.Massively underwhelmed here unfortunately.

Jesus the manager made our visit so enjoyable we came back again! He’s a credit to the restaurant and when I’m back in Edinburgh I’ll be back here for sure! The chicken pie is exceptional.

Very pleasant meal. Perfectly cooked steaks, reasonably priced wine list and very nice desserts + coffee to finish. Staff were very approachable and quick to respond to our requests. Definitely would go back!

We visited here 6 years ago and it was the best meal I had ever had. Visited this evening and it was awful.The food was cold, bland, oily and my steak was over cooked and my wife’s undercooked and had to be sent back. The service was slow however the staff were very polite.I will not be returning anytime soon

I was staying at the Hilton Hotel the restaurant is attached to and decided to eat at the restaurant for convenience after travelling all day.I arrived and I was seated at a table against a pillar that had food splatters on the paint work.I proceeded to order a Mac'n'cheese and the Fish and Chips from the mains menu due to a 50% off offer, with the Mac'n'cheese being a starter. The portioning was initially incorrect when delivered to my table, although the waiting staff happily provided me the other half with additional garlic bread.However, during the service, fellow diners and I had spotted a rat in the dining room, but this was not addressed by the staff.Afterwards, my main arrived with the fish being overcooked and having a weird 'musty' taste. Staff happily allowed me to exchange the meal for another, although charged me for the other meal rather than offer the meal at the same price as the other.The next dish, the Roast Lamb, was lovely but took longer than the wait staff suggested.During the entire meal the atmosphere was dry and the staff could improve communication with customers and handle pest complaints more sincerely.This was not the level of service I expected with a restaurant affiliated with Hilton and Marco Pierre and I hope this improves soon.
Food was fab and Mya our waiter was amazing. Incredibly attentive and helpful. Made it feel like we were having a meal at home

Firstly, my 2 star rating is no reflection on the service, the service was excellent, Jesus and the team really welcomed and looked after our party. The food was disappointing, most of the steaks the menu were not available due to a supply issue, not a great start when visiting a premium steakhouse. Some of the dishes we received were good but there were some low points. The beetroot & goats cheese salad lacked any creativity or wow factor. Fondant & jus on the chicken main course were cold. Biggest disappointment were the side of onion rings we ordered, I had expected better than frozen onion rings from a local supermarket.

Marco pierre white restaurants always deliver exceptional food and service!Myself and my family stayed at the Pear tree inn situated in South England a few years ago, drinks and food were outstanding and in 2019 we dined at his Nottingham restaurant again the food and service knocked the ball out of the park!So to Edinburgh and again another top result for so, so tasty food and portion sizes fantastic. Our waiter "Jesus" looked after us SO well. Mr White keep on doing the same service and quality we will return!!

Waited 10mins for drinks order to be taken then 20min to be delivered food order was taken food was OK .we were never asked if we would like water or if we would like a desert . The quickest the waitress moved was when we asked for the bill we have been here 4 times and have to say this was our worst experience. Will we go back or recommend to friends no would not

Terribly second anniversary experience. Drinks took 30 minutes to come out. Server said bar was busy, but others who were sat after us received theirs, so probably just a forgot to ring it in. Which is fine… accidente happen. When drinks came out they were wrong. When food came out, i had asked for a steak medium well. I receive medium rare so sent it back. When it can back again, it was cooked well down at the one spot I originally cut into it, but medium rare everywhere else lol. I couldn’t stomach sending it back again. Our meal was comped, so they tried. But I wouldn’t recommend, especially for an “occasion” meal.
