Cadiz Reviews Summary

Seafood Quality

Pros:

• "They were all fresh and tasty. The lobster was pleasantly firm in texture and well-grilled with garlic butter;"
• "Alway get a craving for great quality seafood and this place did not disappoint."
• "Superb food! We ordered lobsters, mussels, fish and scallops, all of them are excellent!"
• "The seafood here is great quality and some of the best I've had."
• "The food was excellent, only slightly let down by the level of service."
• "Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. The seafood was great. Fresh and good presentation."
• "A whole lobster, two grilled king prawns, a couple of mussel pots with different sauces and two pieces of scallops were included in the seafood platter."
• "The oysters and prawns were outstanding (locally sourced)."

Cons:

• "Two stars is for the service, sadly to say food is terrible here. Lobster is small and not fresh, haddock is fishy as well."
• "The food was pleasant but not the best seafood we’ve had."
• "The only acceptable thing is the space itself. Really poor quality seafood, very average cooking."
• "The food was in one word disgusting - scallops tasted off and the muscles were full of grit."
• "It was ok. We got a seafood platter, some mussels did not open and prawn had unpleasant taste and had mushy texture which indicates it was not fresh."
• "Disappointing been here lots of times and been amazing however this time calamari small ends the halibut was a very small portion,"
• "When they open the Oyster for me, the chief broken inside and they told me it’s normal, sounds like it’s my first time to eat oyster."
• "Fish restaurant. All 6 of us love mussels. Did not have any. Can't believe they could not source from elsewhere???"

Service and Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The services was great and would definitely recommended to anyone looking for good seafood in Edinburgh."
• "A really enjoyable meal and all the staff were really friendly."
• "Approachable staff that was attentive but not over the top."
• "Maneesh and his team look after us from very beginning."
• "The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely visit again."
• "Fantastic restaurant and such an amazing staff. Relaxed, food is divine, wine even better and cocktails are great."
• "The staff could be more attentive. מסעדה מומלצת וממש טובה אל תהססו."
• "Great service and location. Some of the food not so good plus we were crammed into tables too close, cafe style."

Cons:

• "Food was overall great, but service left some to be desired. We had a few hickups in our order and I had to send back my scallops, as they were cold when served."
• "Service was awesome and super friendly. Seafood was fresh and the atmosphere of the place couldn't be better."
• "Very busy and loud restaurant with lacking service. The table layout makes the space feel compact."
• "Slightly hard to find and ran out of oysters and steak at 7pm. Food quality was decent but service needs improvement."
• "There were 4 of us. Good food, service overall could have been friendlier and more prompt, in some ways acted as if they didn't want to be there."
• "The score given was due to the atmosphere was not the best. Also food was rated low because of the over cooked lobster and the portion size to cost of the hot seafood platter for two."
• "We were regular customers at Cadiz before the lockdowns, it's our favourite restaurant in Edinburgh, however we had our first lunch today since it was reopened, regrettably we were a bit disappointed that the lemon sole and seabass we had were much smaller than before at the same price."
• "Awful experience. I booked Cadiz for Valentines Day and had paid a £20 deposit for a table. When we arrived we were told that several of the main menu items (Lobster, Oysters, Ham, etc) were unavailable which kind of made the whole meal pointless."
