   Comfortable, attentive staff, not a massive menu, but something for all tastes. Food was tasty and plentiful.

   Nice meal in Elliots. Unfortunately as we were dining early we were the only people in the restaurant so the atmosphere was lacking but that was our fault. However we were made to feel very welcome by the staff who were lovely.

   Although my reservation was confirmed and I showed the confirmation email, the restaurant didn't find it. It was very unpleasant to me. But, the manager and the whole team reacted properly with kindness and friendliness. And they arranged a table for me. The rest of the dinner was without any issues. I must tell that the whole team is very helpful.

   We stopped in for dinner during our anniversary trip. The restaurant is inside the hotel (walk straight in, up the steps, make a right and go to the end of the hall). The staff was amazing and they really spoiled us! The food—Scotch burger, fish and chips—was excellent. So glad Open Table led us to this place!

   A Lovely room and we had an excellent meal! I think the staff appeared to be quite new and the service reflected that: waited a long time for a greeting, water and the opening drinks we ordered. Were asked for our order before receiving menus. Our take away was thrown out as opposed to given to us in a take away box. The staff themselves were lovely and I think with time and training these elements will improve. Importantly, the steak and the fish were top notch.

   The restaurant is difficult to find because access is from lobby of hotel. Despite other restaurants in the area overflowing and very difficult to get in, this restaurant was not busy…only 5 tables being waited on. The servers were friendly. The food was mediocre.

   I was really looking forward to breakfast as had afternoon tea before which was great but i was really disappointed..my friend and I paid the £17.50 each. I ordered porridge to start then the omlette (spinach was on other dishes but i couldnt have it on my omlette?!) my friend got muesli and ordered a bacon roll..my omlette came less than 5mins after i ordered which was very fast and before my porridge and when i asked if i could have the porridge please 1st i was told the chef was very busy and the waiter was about to leave the omlette on table beside ours for me until i asked if it could be taken back as it would be cold sitting out on table as porridge not out...my friends bacon roll also came 2 spoonfuls into his muesli...i waited a good while for my porridge then waited ages for my omlette .my friend had finished all his by time i had even started i asked where the toast for the table was as it was included in the price the waiter finally brought us 1 slice each after nearly finished .teapot was leaking too then as i was eating the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate!we had already paid before our sitting so just left for our bus trip .there was a lot of staff but service was not great sorry..

    We stayed at the hotel and enjoyed the continental plus hot, ordered breakfast very much even though the service was a little disorganized. We decided to try dinner on our last night in order to have an easy relaxing evening before checking out in the morning- sadly, truly nothing went right. The servers were all very nice but no one understood the menu or what was available. The manager helped fixed some errors but it was not the easy evening we hoped for.

    Staff was very professional and friendly. It took forever to order in the bar area. Chips were cold. Burger was gamey and not very good. I wouldn't go back. The staff was the only redeeming quality. Now I understand why it was easy to get reservations last minute on a Saturday night.

    Not sure what this place is like at night - may be a hip scene - but don't go for lunch. based our visit on pictures of the place which looks pretty. Food was okay. burger terrible - but fries were good. Fish and chips not good - no flavor. There was literally no one in the restaurant - when we arrived they looked at us like who are you and why are you here.

    Booked dinner before a trip to theatre. We were delayed in traffic and outwith our booking time ( 20 mins late) a bit worried we would be refused a table but it was not a problem and we were quickly seated. Our server was good although perhaps too long between giving us the menu and coming back for our order and in between eg Also slow in asking us for drinks order etc. wouldn’t normally have been a major issue but we were keen to get prompt service since we were booked at theatre. I think there were some staff being trained on the night which might have contributed to the delays and that’s understandable The food was great. Regrettably we didn’t have time for a dessert First time at this restaurant which is a hidden gem and only marginally outside the main centre of Edinburgh. We will be back

    The service was very good all staff where Very nice , our meal was frozen food that was not freshly cooked as I would have thought my chicken just that loaded with garnish and under cooked potato wedges, the whole experience was very disappointing as we traveled through From Glasgow for an overnight, I would also point out that the restaurant is situated within a hotel making it hard to find. The Consolation prize was a very decent mojito.

    Terrible! I booked in for Christmas lunch online four days out. I then called them directly to confirm set menu etc. I arrived and was told it was fully booked and all I could have was breakfast. I’m not a good Christmas person which is lucky as it would have ruined the day!! Also the service was crap. The hostess did not show me to my seat directly but got me to hold stuff including the menu for her while she poured my drink and then cleaned up before leading me to my table. That’s not how hospitality service goes! The food was average. Wasn’t sure if the mushrooms were real or canned. Eggs were an unusual colour inside compared to other restaurants in the area using likely more fresh ingredients. Would not recommend

    The servers were polite but one spilt the starter on the table then picked it up with his hands and put it back down in front of us which was really disgusting. Starter of haggis was nice but the burger and fish mains were awful no taste and felt like a microwave meal. No atmosphere, music was played intermittently then turned off and restaurant was empty.

    Went last night as guests of the hotel for my boyfriends birthday and overall was disappointed with the service. Staff either looked rushed or doing nothing, no one had any idea about the hotel’s Sunday deal which is joint with the restaurant causing a lot of stress, mains were brought out before we finished our starters and just left on the side of the table, and menus were taken away before we even had the chance to order. Overall it was a disappointing experience for the service expected for the restaurant. You could see our server was trying her hardest to manage the section however it was obvious to us and due to her comments that other members of staff were not pulling their weight to provide a good service.

    We decided to eat dinner in the hotel restaurant after a long travel time coming from the US to Edinburgh. That was a wise decision. The food was very good and the prices were very reasonable. The service was also very good, especially considering the restaurant was short staffed that night so they had to work extra hard to take care of everything.

    The atmosphere is bit unusual at first because it’s in a big room which feels like a big church hall, however once we settled in and were met with great service, food and drinks we really relaxed. Great attentive staff, lovely choice of food, great choice of more exclusive spirits etc.

    Elliots Restaurant in Edinburgh is always a must when in the area doing some shopping, quick & easy to book a table online and the staff are always fantastic! I was down visiting some family in the area and fancied a spot of dinner, so booked for 7:15pm, upon arriving we were greeted with a very helpful & polite waitress who showed us to our table. They no longer have menus to view it can all be done via your mobile, which is easy and very covid friendly. Our drinks order was taken first by the manager, she was so friendly & bubbly, and had a very good sense of humour which is what you want when dining out. Myself, Dad & Brother all had the Burger and asked for Cheese & Bacon as an extra to which the waitress had to issue with doing, my Mum then had the Steak Sandwich. Around half an hour later our food was served, roasting hot & well presented. I would definietly give the food 10/10, the burger was just right & the steak sandwich was delicious. The restaurant is modern, classy & bright, with tables spread out & served with a jug of water as you are seated. Elliots Restaurant has not once let us down, the food is always to a high standard, staff are great and its centrally located to Edinburgh Waverley making it the right choice for an evening meal. Highly Recommend!
