What ClaireD likes about Blackwoods Bar and Grill:
The food at this restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced. The service was attentive and quick. All the dishes were served hot, fresh, and delicious. It is definitely worth leaving the main busy area to give it a try. The only thing I would suggest improving is the selection of wines available by the glass. I would have liked to see options like Malbec, Rioja, or Pinot Noir, which are commonly offered in most p... View all feedback. What MartinK doesn't like about Blackwoods Bar and Grill:
Sorry this was a Bad experience and Not worth the money. Chips came half way through the Filet steak. Unacceptable for a Place with this class. Other tables had similar issues …. View all feedback.

Really liked it a lot! Came here on a 5pm deal and figured that if it wasn't great then at least there wasn't much lost.

The service is friendly and accurate, their wine list comprehensive and very reasonable, and the stylish dining room is packed with elegant new town charme

Blackwood's, a restaurant located in the heart of Edinburgh, offers an intimate and quiet atmosphere with expertly cooked, tasty food. Although the menu is limited, the dishes such as mussels marinière and cod with prosciutto-wrapped asparagus are delicious. The prices are slightly high, but the friendly and professional service, including a pleasant surprise of a complimentary celebratory drink, made the experience memorable. While some reviewers highlighted disappointing experiences with the food quality and service, overall, Blackwood's offers a beautiful dining area with great potential for improvement in menu options and consistency in service. If looking for a quiet dining experience in Edinburgh with good food and attentive service, Blackwood's is a worthwhile choice.

The restaurant lacks atmosphere and feels like a typical hotel dining experience.
