Peppercorn sauce was tasteless. Service was cheery, friendly but incredibly slow took 20 mins to serve water! Restaurant was quite compact not much space between tables and poorly lit. Reported disappointment of meal to server but just got a shrug of the shoulders in response. Poor value for money. Will not eat there again!

The cocktails were superb and the food was excellent. I had the scallops to start and the haggis neeps and tatties for main which was so tasty. All the staff were excellent and clearly well trained. Barman did great cocktails too. Would def come back again.

We never had starters as we get full quick. But they looked amazing. The mains where amazing coukd not fault (maybe did not need onion rings side dish as filling). All the dishes coming out looked amazing. We shared a dessert of Bruder which was lovely (maybe need setting a bit more). The staff where friendly, helpful amd amazing. Cosy little restaurant and bar looked amazing. My only negative which was nothing really was the toilet doors (but that me being picky)

But the stars of the show was the food...where do we start?! Starters: they were generous, incredibly flavoursome and really beautifully presented. This was the best smoked haddock I've ever eaten. And the haggis starter was wonderful. See photos Main courses: the pork belly was sublime and looked stunning. The sauce/jus that came with it had a depth of flavour that was outstanding. The venison with mushroom had a range of full-bodied flavours and was cooked to perfection. Desserts: we were ambitious to go for dessert was we were quite full, but couldn't resist tasting more of this amazing food. Lemon brulee looked so pretty but packed such a range of flavours. The dark chocolate mousse was extremely moreish. See photos All in all, a truly amazing dining experience.

A little over our budget as we had to get side dishes to bump up the size of the meal. We went here as a treat as we were completely over all the other restaurants with their reheated food and mush. Completely blew us away! Such a cool little restaurant/bar. Staff were really accommodating and we loved it!

Didn’t start well as the restaurant provided cut back menus (they thought they’d told us this was Policy, but as we booked online we were not told). As most of us had eaten there before or had looked at the menu online, the short list of options was not what we wanted. Fortunately as it was early they reluctantly gave us the full menu. If you are going in a large group it would be worth double checking. The best dish was the lemon sole, a very good option, as is the haggis starter. Service was good too.

Had the smoked duck and crispy bite for beginners. With honey old-fashioned. We had the braided ox and white fish for the main course.

We will definitely be back for food once it looked amazing how it came out!

We had an amazing roasted monk with pancetta, squash and sage toaster. Helpful Note: Monteiths is just from the Royal Mile. End a day to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the castle with dinner in Monteiths.
