Food Quality
Pros:
"The char on the porterhouse was great! This is steak done right on the pan, better than sous vide."
"The food was nice, well served and tasty. We really liked the mac and cheese side!"

"The best steak I've had In Edinburgh."
"Food was lovely, great atmosphere, waiters were lovely."
"The food is fantastic, the wine is fantastic, the staff are fantastic."
"The best steak i think I've ever had. It's a costy night but you know that going it to, and it's worth it for the steak alone."

"We had the steak/frites deal and the steak was very tough/grissly and virtually inedible."
"Unfortunately it’s been multiple times now that the service and food quality is very poor."
"For the same price I ate a stake in Florence which was way way better."
"Overall, the food was disappointing and didn't match up to the reviews or the title of 'Edinburgh's number one steakhouse.'"
"The ribeye steak was Weatherspoons quality at Miller and Carter prices."
"The steak was very mediocre, I asked for blue and was given half blue and half rare and the last piece was somewhat fully cooked through."
"The ribeye steak was Weatherspoons quality at Miller and Carter prices."

"Waitress was very friendly and interactive. A few disappointments though- drinks took a good 30 minutes each time we ordered something, which is just too long."
"Absolutely shocking service, not sure I would even call it a service. We waited 15 minutes to be seated despite having a reservation."

"Not very busy so lacked atmosphere."
"Tables and seats standard, but could have been better set out for our party who had to sit back to back and this made conversation more difficult."
"Right so first, the service was slow which is annoying but not a deal breaker. The music is so so loud and it's like pumping base electronic weirdness that is more clubby than nice steak place and difficult to have a conversation over."
"A little pricey but a brilliant Sunday Roast. The staff could not have been any more helpful and the restaurant is stunning."
"Brillaint, calm atmosphere and well-presented food as usual. More music to bring a buzz might've been nice though I undersatnd this may be down to Covid measures."
"Expected great things and had really looked forward to visiting this steak house since I heard it was opening."
