Reviews of Monboddo praise the food, cocktails and views but flag inconsistent service and reservation hiccups—great flavours, variable hospitality.
The afternoon tea at this restaurant was fantastic. The Fizzytree cocktail was absolutely amazing!
Great atmosphere and welcoming service at this restaurant.
This restaurant in Edinburgh is one of the priciest spots in town and is not recommended.
Average food, terrible terrible terrible service. I can’t stress this enough. Stay away from this place. You’re better off eating at a Wetherspoons. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1 Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £10–20
Loved this bar, and service was excellent! It's n a great location, right next to The Doubletree. Daryna was so helpful! I was not very familiar with the wine choices, and she helped me choose the one closest to my taste. It was delicious. Thanks so much, Daryna! We will definitely come back again!
