Service
Pros:
"Ewen served me and my son when we were in over the Christmas period. He was very polite to use and made us feel right at home even though the place was very busy."
"Staff were great at catering for dairy intolerance last night."
"I was served by Ben, Jess and Lily and couldn’t have asked for better service."
"The staff were wonderful and very quick to correct any problems to arise."
"Staff were all very accommodating when booking a table for late night drinks, no issues communicating to amend the table amount and service was lighting quick for time of day!"
"Our server was so kind (wish I grabbed their name, but we were there Wednesday evening, June 23 and it was so fab) and it was so speedy despite it being relatively busy."
"They were all so friendly. Will recommend to my friends and will be back."
Cons:
"Service was very slow."
"Ordered food but items were out of stock."
"Service was below average. We were not given a time limit on a party of 12 and we're asked to leave with 15 mins notice before the next table were due to arrive."
"We asked for dessert menus which never appeared and sat for 40 mins with absolutely no attention paid to us whatsoever."
"The staff had absolutely no knowledge of our booking."
"The staff who served us were nice and friendly but inexperienced."
"Absolutely terrible service, shouldn’t have to stand at the bar over 20 minutes not being served and ignored!"
Food
Pros:
"Food was ok, I think best value might be a burger tbh."
"The food was lovely...we had the return of the mac burger with a side of garlic bread and onion rings."
"Good quality food, not a vast choice but something for everyone and at a fiver a meal you cant complain, drinks cheap too for Edinburgh."
"The food is actually pretty good."
"The onion rings were the stand out...wow they were amazing, crispy but fluffy, sweet but salty 10/10."
"The food (when it was correct) was great."
"Food was delicious and there was a great variety of options on the menu."
Cons:
"Our chicken got wings were cold so we had to send them back!"
"The food is a bit bland."
"The cocktails were mediocre at best."
"The size of the overcooked burger was about 1/4 of the size of the bun. It arrived cold."
"The mushroom soup (that's what they said it was) was a grey liquid that had no taste at all."
"Katsu burger came with just mayonnaise and no discernable Katsu sauce, so just a glorified Chicken Mayo."
"It's a fun menu, plenty of choice and the presentation is quite fun! But it's a lot like having a sugary juice for the most part."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"Good atmosphere and music."
"It's nice and lively on the inside."
"A great place to catch up with friends as you won't be drowned out by music."
"The bar has a great atmosphere and the vibe is great though."
"Great surroundings."
"Candy bar is fabulous. Didn’t know what to expect but the exterior is inviting and the decor as you can see was eye catching."
"A trendy place and a great place to pop in for a cocktail on a Friday night."
Cons:
"The staff are some of the most unpleasant and rude people I have ever encountered it really ruins the atmosphere and the quality of the food and drinks."
"It's just a bit loud inside."
"The environment was loud and crowded and made for an unpleasant (brief) dining experience."
"It was too noisy you could not hear yourself think, we booked for a meal for 11 off us, the food was not great I will not be back, not just me all off us."
"One complain music too loud to have any kind of conversation. I have been losing my hearing and my voice simultaneously."
"Deafeningly unnecessarily loud music to the point where conversation is impossible."
"Being seated next to the bar, which were maybe the worst seats due to the very loud noise and music."
Value
Pros:
"Its a super place if you want good food on a budget."
"Cocktails really nice decent prices especially for George Street!"
"I was in on Friday and got the Candy Happy Meal (burger, served with regular fries but the upgrade to the sweet potato fries adds another £1) plus a cocktail for £8.50!! Such a great price!"
"Pretty good fajitas for a fiver."
"Cheap and cheerful. Been here during lunch and also busy time in the evening and we were served quickly and food was with us within 10 minutes. Great service and great value!"
"Most of the main meals are under £5 which does not affect the quality of the meal you will get."
"You will also get a decent meal and drinks at a very reasonable price."
Cons:
"Very disappointed as it was a special occasion."
"Surely not going back for the worst £8 cocktail and the worst £4 shot."
"The staff had absolutely no knowledge of our booking."
"Food was pretty good, but you'd be lucky to get your drinks. Didn't get drinks, but got 50% off of our food."
"They also didn't discount the second drink when the meal didn't arrive (the deal is £7.50 for food and a drink... But I still had to pay £6 for the drink at the end."
"Prices are far too high. Two double vodkas cost £20.40!"
"I give this place a 2 star as it is ridiculous when looking at the menu the prices are good but what they don't tell you is they over price on your bill at the end."
