Tattu Edinburgh Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "Very Instagram'y atmosphere and interior."
• "The atmosphere, service, and the presentation were excellent."
• "The place itself is a very short walk from the tram stop (St Andrews Square)."
• "The restaurant interiors and food were designed to be consumed by smart phone camera. Very photogenic and good vibes for casual dining and drinks."
• "The decor is out of this world, I couldn’t stop staring at all the beautiful cherry blossoms in there, it created the perfect atmosphere."
• "The decor is breathtaking, and the vibe is so lively."
• "The venue is perfection. Wonderful artistic way of bringing a culture, food style and history to life in a modern era."
• "From the moment you walk in the door at Tattu, you are transported... the atmosphere is very Zen, and so beautiful with their lowered Koi ceiling and cherry 🌸 EVERYWHERE!!! Elegant and tasteful."

Cons:

• "Perhaps we should stick with 28 quid set menu and focus on taking more photos."
• "This restaurant is a very good example of style over substance. Apart from the decor, I don’t have anything nice to say about this place."
• "If you enjoy overpriced, average service and nice decor, this restaurant would be for u."
• "The restaurant looks stunning in photos, the reality felt more like a tacky theme restaurant."
• "Music maybe a little too loud for while eating dinner as we did have to shout a bit to be heard."
• "Unfortunately our dining experience was tainted by extremely slow service. Our waiter was friendly, but inefficient."
• "The whole experience just reminds me of some western fantasy of what China and Chinese food might be like."
• "The food was good but not amazing. The portion sizes very small."

Service Quality

Pros:

• "Service from the waitress was spot on, though."
• "Staff were very welcoming, professional, and friendly."
• "The manager and staff are extremely professional, considerate, and bring well the spirit of restaurant and its ambiance."
• "Staff is friendly and very knowledgeable of what’s on the menu. They provide you with great recommendations."
• "One of my favorite places to visit, food and drinks are incredible, so is the service and the place is beautiful."
• "Service was exceptional, all of the staff made us feel very welcome and relaxed."
• "Food excellent, but with a speaker directly above our table blaring out incessant beats, we found it difficult to carry out conversation."
• "Our server was so friendly, he went through various wins with us ensuring we made the right choice."

Cons:

• "The staff were very friendly but nowhere near enough staff for a busy Saturday night."
• "They forgot various orders e.g. nibbles and drinks and we had to wait considerable time for any drinks/food to arrive."
• "Seems the table waitress promised all but the drinks guy had to deliver but didn't manage."
• "Tables are small and very close together."
• "The service is relatively considerate and the setting is indeed very beautiful for special moments. However, I have to say that the food needs to be priced lower as it is really rather expensive and tastes more like Chinese food as understood in the West and not really Asian."
• "My partner and I were rushed out of our seats which spoiled our night."
• "Great food but very expensive. Decor lovely but my wife and I were rushed out of our seats which spoiled our night."
• "I honestly had higher expectations as the pictures looked very appetising. Most of set meals had the same flavour (sweet)."
