What Артур Антоненко likes about The Dining Room at The Society:
This restaurant offers exceptional fine dining with top-notch service. The value for the high-quality 5-star food is better than other top restaurants in Edinburgh. There is nothing to fault about this dining experience. View all feedback. What Archie Chapman doesn't like about The Dining Room at The Society:
Food was excellent as ever, but service upstairs for pre-dinner drinks was very slow, and miscommunication between bar and restaurant led to a long delay after paying and before leaving while their misunderstanding over the bill was sorted out. My impression is that the new configuration does not always work very well. View all feedback.

Excellent meal, especially the healed. great wein and of course also whisky.

The restaurant offers an excellent dining experience with delicious food, impeccable service, and a wide range of whiskey pairings. The pre-theater menu is highlighted as a great value, with well-thought-out dishes and a diverse wine list. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, creating a welcoming atmosphere. The elegant surroundings and attention to detail, such as a special birthday plate, add to the overall charm of the establishment. Overall, it is considered a fantastic find in Edinburgh, perfect for ending a day in the city with a memorable meal.
