The food was very good with good starters and main course. On a Sunday you were also allowed to take in your own wine which was another plus. Excellent again.

This has always been myself & my husband's special occasion place to eat. However, we decided it was time to introduce our 11 year old son to it - he totally loved it and was especially complimentary about his scallop starter!

We were generally pleased as our first time trying the lunchtime menu with tapas portions. The food was unfortunately, and for the very first time, not quite up to standard. The menu was not very enticing, the dishes were found a little bland, the battered fish should have been crispier ( though the fries were perfect) and the pasta dish was totally underwhelming. They need to find a better quality pasta and use fresh basil on top ( not all wilted and grey) and use a proper home cooked tomato sauce and not just a spoon of this and a heep of fresh sweet tomatoes thrown in = doesn't work. Possibly the most unimpressive pasta dish I have ever had and it really made my entire impression of the food here rather cooled compared to what it has always been. Yes I'll be back, but perhaps not for the lunch menu. It was, however, good value.

Faultless!!!!Have dinned here many times. Have recommended to many friends and always rave reviews on food,service and ambiance.
Classic quality ingredients with a fun twist.Service is always perfect balance of attentive yet discreet but also friendly.

Another wonderful meal at one of our favourite Edinburgh restaurants. We keep coming back because we love it so much! As usual the food and wine were excellent and the service attentive. We'll be back!

We always enjoy a visit to Stockbridge Restaurant when we are here on our annual trip to Edinburgh. I would say that it was a lot quieter than usual, empty tables, not the fault of the restaurant I am sure, maybe just a sign of the times? Because of this it was lacking in atmosphere a bit.

The food was amazingly flavorful and beautiful on the plate. I had pan seared sea bass with crab cake, tomato salsa, avocado ice cream, Fennel salad and aioli £20.95 seabass. The fish was super fresh, and each bite off the plate burst with contrasting but complimentary flavors. My wife had duck breast with crispy duck confit, sauteed potatoes , roasted Heritage beetroot and port sauce £23.95, which was also splendid, although a bit sweet for my taste, but the duck breast was moist and flavorful. Service was unpretentious, yet still formal enough to match the semi-formal and comfortable ambience. The prices seemed a very good value for the quality of the experience.

Enjoyed the Sunday evening menu and the option of BYOB was an excellent idea as it allowed friends to share there favourite wines. Also appreciated the two amuse bouche and the lovely flavoured water nice touches.

Lovely birthday meal for my Mum. They even went to the effort of putting a candle in the desert. Excellent evening, would thoroughly recommend!

2nd visit in last 8 weeks still as good as first time , constituently good food and service . Really suits romantic date night ...even for oldies like us.

Very welcoming and cosy, with lovely and efficient service and delicious food

One of the best meals we enjoyed in quite a while. Everything was fantastic: food, ambiance, service- all top notch. We were celebrating our anniversary and this place fit the bill. Thanks for a great meal.

First time trying the new daytime menu and far from disappointed. Visited with 2 teenagers and they loved it also. Great value for money for amazing quality food and excellent choice on menu.
Will be back

Really great food and friendly staff was a brilliant evening. Well worth going.

As usual The Stockbridge Restaurant did not let us down. It is always wonderful - great food and fantastic staff. We hadn't been for a while but will definitely make it more of a regular thing again! Lots of nice gin too

Excellent lunch time menu, wonderful friendly service

A lovely cosy restaurant with friendly helpful staff. I liked the white table linen & intimate atmosphere of the restaurant with the tables not too close together. A good choice of local dishes on the menu but not too many so that everything was freshly cooked. The prices including the wine were reasonable for such a good restaurant. I had scallops to start and duck for main, both were excellent and beautifully presented, unfortunately we were too full for desserts. We would eat here again the next time we’re in Edinburgh.

Very nice meal, great service and enjoyed the evening.

Restaurant very quiet - we were one of two couples all evening. Food very good though.

Favourite restaurant in Edinburgh, great food and service and not stuffy like other more pretentious eateries.

Excellent wine list too with friendly helpful staff.

The restaurant had a friendly relaxed atmosphere. The staff were very attentive and added to the enjoyment of the evening. The food was first class and of a very high standard. We will certainly be returning for further dining experiences.

We were delighted with the food and made to feel very welcome the 4 star for ambience was because Mike found its little cold thank you

A wonderful discovery, delightful and imaginative cooking. Will done here again when in the city

Superb chouce. Pleasant venue, delicious food, lovely afded touches and relaxing atmosphere.

Early evening dining with my adult son and sister whilst all on a short break in Edinburgh. The food was beautifully presented and utterly delicious. The staff were very friendly and efficient. We all had a fabulous evening.

It's while since I've had the opportunity to dine at The Stockbridge Restaurant and was pleased that it had not lost its charm and ability to produce innovative and delightful dishes. My sister and I, dedicated brunchers, decided to treat ourselves to an evening out with some fine dining for our birthdays this year (only 4 days apart) and the Stockbridge Restaurant provided the perfect venue and meal. With just the two of us, and not sharing the same tastes in wine, we were able to choose a couple of wines 'by the glass' each to suit our menu choices, and palates. Following our amuse bouches and some lovely fait maison bread, I had a delicious trio smoked duck breast, foie gras and duck confit salad, whist my sister enjoyed the spiced pigeon breast, with figs and prune. I followed up with the rack of lamb and bean cassoulet whilst my sister had the grilled halibut with fried quail egg and crispy pancetta. We felt that dessert would have been just too much for us that night, but there was tempting menu. Everything was beautifully cooked and presented, and we were pleased to note that vegetables were part of the main dishes (ordering separate sides is so irritating!) The menu is not extensive, but there was a good, varied choice - IMO something to suit all tastes. And I noted that dietary requirements would be catered for, if advance notice given. The service was just right - friendly, helpful and readily available My sister has returned to her home town delighted with her first meal at the Stockbridge Restaurant - somehow I don't think it will be our last!

Fantastic food, even better service. Everything was beautifully prepared and elegantly presented.

I could not have been happier. Possibly the best meal I've ever had. Food was divine, drinks delicious, service excellent. Wonderful experience overall, can't recommend Stockbridge highly enough.

Excellent food and service. Very friendly and professional. Would defiantly visit again if I was in the city. Wonderful evening.

This has always been one of our favourite Edinburgh restaurants, but on this occasion the service left a lot to be desired. No problems with the food, the shredded beef cheeks starter was excellent, as was the lamb and halibut main courses (not on the same plate!). We also managed to find a 12/5% red wine, unfortunately the only sparkling water comes in very large bottles.

Problem was, we knew that they wanted the table back for 915pm, having booked for 7pm, so finished our mains at 8pm. 30 mins later, one of the staff asked us if we were finished, erm, Yes. We asked for a dessert menu, which arrived after another 10 mins by which time we did not feel like ordering anything.

Pay more attention to table management, the food is very good.

Lovely food, beautifully presented. Quiet atmosphere. Cosy and high quality.

An excellent venue with first class food. The variety of tastes each dish provided was a pleasure to endure. The dishes were perfectly balanced and cooked to perfection - a must visit venue for food lovers.

Food was excellent.
Very friendly staff who were very attentive.

We had a brilliant meal at the Stockbridge restaurant. It wasn’t full, but the staff managed to get the balance between formal dining and a pleasurable relaxed dinner.
Will definitely go back for a special occasion

Every time we visit Edinburgh we always make a booking for Sunday evening , food is always excellent presentation lovely and staff very friendly and look after you.

This was our second visit and as before everything was exemplary.
Our waitress was lovely: friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and quick to try to improve our evening whenever an opportunity presented itself.
The food was beautifully presented and delicious: meat. Poked exactly as requested , vegetables the right amount of al dented or crispy as required. Flavours just right.
Our wine recommendations were also excellent.
Very well done to everyone and thank you!

Very friendly staff and wonderful food. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit.

A spontaneous decision as we were passing by which was a good choice. The staff are friendly and are ready to make a suggestion. For the starters spiced pigeon and cod with scallop were chosen and were both fantastic with excellent flavours. Following this came the venison and cod with crab. The standard did not drop.

Great atmosphere and the service was excellent. Quite a small restaurant so atmosphere was quite intimate.

The food was excellent and very seasonal. This is the second time we had visited and it didn't disappoint.

Mothers Day Lunch started very well but as we were about the last to arrive at the restaurant by the time our main course came the kitchen had obviously ran out of food and were stretching everything to the limit. As we were waiting we had to ask twice for our wine to arrive as the staff were obviously not coping. We saw other diners receive a decent sized slice of salmon on crushed potatoes, with crab and scallop beignets in a lobster bisque. When mine came the salmon was a slither of overcooked salmon and a wrinkly beignet on a plate with more crushed potatoes than I could eat. It was a complete disappointment.
The comment was that everything was the same weight in the kitchen but I can assure you that by the time I received mine everything had shrunk.
We didn,t stay for dessert as we were so disappointed.
