The Cavaliere

From meet and greet to the coffees the overall service and quality of food and drinks was exceptional

Our waiter was outstanding, he entertained my son and was very polite and professional. I feel the children's good is a bit pricey but my son doesn't eat a lot. Will definitely be back .

Visited on Wednesday for a birthday. Lovely food. Great service and a nice atmosphere. Hadn’t been since the renovation but was very impressed.

Another fantastic meal here. Food lovely, service very attentive and not overly friendly. We did not feel rushed at all and had a lovely rare night out together. Definitely recommend this place and certainly will go back.

Outstanding service & meal. Family celebration with mixed ages all catered for, never disappoints .

We had lunch at the restaurant and it was lovely, very good value. The waiter was very nice and offered us to taste another white wine from Italy, he wasn't pushy at all, lovely personality. The toilets were spotless and the dining room was beautifull, would be nice to have some round tables though, better for larger parties.

Superb service, never been let down. Quality of food, excellent, always busy at weekends, but a bargain on midweek special.
The Daily Specials are always a bit with us.
Price is not cheap......but well worth it.

The quality of the food is excellent with some excellent specials available.
The staff are very friendly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble.

Fantastic service and amazing food. We will be back!

I have been going to the Cavalier for over 30 years and it just gets better. Brilliant food and wonderful staff

Having never even been to Dalkeith before, I read the reviews for all the restaurants in the area when I was charged with finding somewhere to eat for meeting friends for lunch. Thankfully, we booked The Cavaliere. The front looks very unassuming, but going in, the interior is very stylish and modern. The staff were very welcoming, professional and attentive from start to finish. Food was well cooked and tasted great.

If we are ever back that way , we would definitely go in again.

Big thank you to The Cavaliere.

Not be in the restaurant for years, the place is very clean and beautiful decor, The food is superb, staff very nice , will be back .

The Cavaliere is probably our favourite restaurant. The food is fantastic. The staff are amazing. It always feels special. We visit far too often for our pocket but who cares! We always take friends here to dine when they visit. Feels like a second home! Maybe worth getting a loyalty card in place!!

Excellent meal with first class service. Children in party treated great with magic tricks providing a lovely extra touch. Family run & certainly family friendly.

Great night as always thanks & very polite attentive staff keep up the good work guys

food as usual was great, some really good cocktails all served by friendly staff

Food and service were amazing as always. Would highly recommend the restaurant to anyone.

I booked very late on a Saturday night for a group, the booking was accepted and we all really enjoyed our food. We have a number of eaters with special dietary requirements and everyone loved the food they had.

Perfect as usual. All the waiting staff are so courteous and helpful.

Lovely cosy restaurant, was very busy but service was excellent, friendly staff, food was amazing and good value for the quality, definitely be back.

Great service, food was good quality for the price with plenty choice and great for kids too. One of the waiters did magic tricks with the kids which was entertaining. Will definitely be back.

Booked here for mother’s day. Can not fault the staff who work here, they provide excellent service and are very friendly. Usually the food is great however we weren’t so impressed by it on this occasion. The soup I was served was awful, I couldn’t eat it at all. The waiter took the price off the bill, even though I didn’t mention it or and didn’t intend to. The pizza I was served wasn’t even scored and I had to cut it using a knife which took a while, had a pizza before that was cut for me. It was also well done, slightly burnt. Would still return and hope the food is better next time.

First time to the new look Cavaliere - looks really nice inside. Meal was pretty good although they did apologise for over cooking my Calzone and then took this off my bill (not at my request-so nice gesture). Overall let down by service which was very slow...over 1 hour for starter and all in 2 hours for 2 courses seemed too long. Did have a feeling that this was an ‘upsell’ tactic with drinks aplenty on offer.

So we met my folks here with our three children for a belated birthday celebration meal. Waiters were so friendly and they couldn’t have been more fun with the kids - we even got a card trick and lollies when leaving. The service was prompt and the food very good. It is relatively pricey but I think you pay for what you get . Would definitely go back and check out the lunch menu. (toilets immaculate for those interested!)

This is a lovely restaurant since it was refurbished. Nice menu however at our last visit we mentioned that the spaghetti bolognese (which 3 of us had) was too salty. The cost of one if the dishes was deducted from our bill which was OK as we had managed to eat most of it. Have visited this restaurant several times over the last few months and this is the first time there was a problem. Staff all very friendly. Good music.

Great food and service

One of our many visits to this restaurant. Excellent Food, very attentive staff, Great value for money. Definitely recommend to everyone.

Been here a number of times allways great service and great food ,it was my wife's birthday.

Lovely place to eat, has been done up to a very high standard. Good food, friendly staff and great atmosphere. We'll be back soon!

Family dinner with children and a required disabled access.
Food was excellent and both set menu and a la Carter used.
Staff were very attentive and polite.
In newly opened room which was spacious, and comfortable.
An enjoyable night for all.

very loud, music was too loud could not hear the waiter when taking order then large crowd came in. This ruined the whole night unable to talk , sore head could not wait to get. Been in many busy restaurants but never experienced anything like this don't know what they have done in the refurb but acoustics terrible. They stated that they are getting separate function suite but large crowd was not just the problem.

Great experience will definitely recommend this restaurant

6 adults & one child on a Saturday night to celebrate a 60th. Service was great, food was great. When dessert came out the waiting staff had put a sparkler & candle on my dad's cake & sang happy birthday. Brilliant touch & my dad loved it. We will all be back again.

been many times always been really good, great refurbishment recently.

Excellent service and great food will certainly go back

Had dinner on Sat night with 5 other girlfriends. Food & cocktails were lovely, although our mains came out & 1 friend was waiting for a side plate of onion rings & because we were waiting awhile she cancelled that order. Waiter said it was no problem. Great local restaurant *

Very nice local Italian Resturant outside of Edinburgh.

Excellent decor and service food and choice very good

Another lovely meal and wine at our local Italian restaurant. Lovely venue- we' ll be back again soon😊

Good staff,child - friendly, great food with wide choice. Only negative it was a bit noisy but that
was only because of groups having fun and enjoying themselves.
