Cannonball - Edinburgh

I went out for a night with my friends and had a fantastic experience. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the ambiance of the restaurant was lovely. The cocktails were also really good.

The second visit to this restaurant was disappointing compared to the first. The food was minimalistic and the chips were not served hot or crispy. Although it was a meal deal purchased with a voucher, the quality should still have met the standard.

The reception desk on the ground floor was unattended, so we walked up a flight of stairs to the bar where the staff seemed surprised to see us. After finally being seated, the service was acceptable but not worth the high prices. The menu was extremely limited, with only seven main dishes to choose from, one of which was fish and chips - not what we were expecting for a fine dining experience. The lobster and steak were overpriced. While nothing we ate was bad, nothing stood out as exceptional either, especially considering the prices. Overall, this was one of the least memorable meals we had during our week in Edinburgh. With so many other great dining options in Old Town, I would not recommend Victor Carina Contini's Cannonball Restaurant.

Good food and service. Would definately return. Was given a table with a food veiw of the castle.

Great food, friendly staff, not too expensive, great views of the Castle. Highly recommended.
