The restaurant had relaxing feelings for its inner and friendly staff. the meal was ok, not especially special but nevertheless good dinning experience. I had grilled and reed with black pudding. meat was little hard, but recovery was nice compliments. only one or two vegeterian main dish I thought is little dissapointing and it was also pasta court.

I just wanted to warn with toptable users that when we arrived at spoon, they had no record of our booking, as they said they had no more to do with toptable. I am really not sure why they are still listed on the website, but best to book directly if they want to go. regarding the place in itself, we enjoyed our early evening, the visit of spoon, although I felt it was not a fantastic price-performance ratio. the room is quirky, although perhaps not scattered enough to feel the huge space really intimate or home. the personal is friendly, and eating was solid when unspectacular. I think it's a nice place for brunch and paper, but not back to dinner.

I dined at Spoon during the Fringe. Normally during the Fringe restaurants are packed and horrible to sit in. But because Spoon is located through a small door and up a flight of stairs it missed the rush. The food is fantastic, well sourced, free range, really tasty. It's great for breakfast and well worth a visit.

The pre-theatre menu at this restaurant provides great value with four courses. The staff is also very friendly and accommodating.

The food at this restaurant was rustic, but delicious and clearly homemade. I was unsure when making the reservation, but I would definitely come back again without hesitation. The staff was friendly and attentive.
