   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.

   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.

   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.

    Our prebooked table wasn’t availble. Very friendly but slow service - Wine arrived at the end of the maincourse. Very noisy and busy atmosphere, as the walters where getting ready for breakfast service -moving tables around next to us and so on (from 20.30). Food was fine.

    Terrible restaurant would not recommend. Food quality was awful, clearly all frozen and re heated, even burger bun was stale! Kids meals very poor despite being so simple! Not recommend for parties larger than 2 people, we were a table of 4 but felt very squashed and very in the way of people going past. Highly priced, poor quality food.

    The food, drink and atmosphere was brilliant!! Our lovely experience was made by our waitress (Karen F named on the receipt). She was talkative and bubbly and really made an impression on us. She also went the extra mile to get a recipe for us for the Aubergine Pate that we very much enjoyed. Would definitely recommend and would go back next time we are in Edinburgh.

    We had the perfect evening at the Metro at Apex, the staff were very warm and welcoming, our meal was delicious , hot and plentiful. I would definitely recommend family and friends to dine here as the service is second to none, the actual restaurant is spotlessly clean and staff very attentive, excellent, 10 out of 10.

    Ceasar Salad was just a dish of wilted lettuce, not a crunch in sight. Not appetizing at all. Hubby enjoyed the steak though. Didn't even stay for dessert which my sweet tooth never does. Wouldn't return

    30th birthday dinner, we were sitting for half an hour before a server was even in sight, even at that we had to call her over to order. First drinks then arrived at the same time as our starters. The staff seemed anxious and stressed, (the restaurant was very quiet), dropped one of our starters which was clearly an accident so no complaint regarding that. However the replacement then arrived still frozen in the middle. Nobody came back to check on us at any point and had to chase the bill after asking a couple of times. Would not go back or recommend.
