Was ElaineW at Iris Edinburgh a mag?
We booked for an Anniversary lunch and visit to Christmas markets. I had the lemon sole with smoked salmon, it was beautifully cooked and the sauce was delicious. Portions were good and we were certainly well fed! Would definitely recommend Iris for a place to meet friends for a quiet meal away from the busyness of the Christmas shoppers. Staff were pleasant and cheerful. Will definitely be back. View all feedback.

What Sophia Saunders dislikes about Iris Edinburgh:
The Hogmanay party itself was kinda ****—wet, ridiculously cold to the point that I couldn't feel my toes, and packed full of drunk, hair-pulling vagabonds, half of whom were probably Australian. While I accept that this is many people's idea of a good time, these teetotalers didn't enjoy it. We were having such a miserable time of it that we headed back to our hotel room before midnight.

Went here with a large group of friends on a Friday evening. The staff were very helpful, when we originally booked we didn't know how many there would be, we started off at 5 and ended up with 18. They let us have a semi private room which was fab for us and the other guests as we were a bit noisy. They phoned us to confirm a few details and were just great. I had the duck breast and sweet potato side which were just delicious. Every single person in our party really loved their food. Actually I can find no fault in their restaurant hence the first 5 star review I have ever given!

I was blown away by Iris, when we visited. Thistle Street is one of my favourite eating and drinking districts in Edinburgh, and this place only served to increase my adoration. Overall, we said: Iris offers extremely high quality food, in swish surroundings, with excellent, friendly, knowledgeable service. The only other person I 've heard extolling its virtues is ardent Yelper Jurgen, who is a great fan of the place. I 'd like to confirm that I will be joining Jurgen 's chorus of appreciation, as the place is something really very special. It shines bright in a street of precious Edinburgh jewels. I 'd suggest you pay it a visit soon. You will be richly rewarded.

Visited this restaurant during the very busy festival period. Everything was perfect. The friendly staff, the atmosphere and of course the food. We will be back the next time we are in Edinburgh
