Great food and great atmosphere, as usual. Easily the best fish and chips in Edinburgh! Cullen skink was incredibly tasty and rich and although we didn't get game on this occasion, I can guarantee from previous experience that it is great as well. Considering all of this, the prices are reasonable. A+!

The food was good, drinks were ok, ambience ok. Surprised after responding to an ad for valentines meals that there was no special effort apparent for it..

Great food & great service. Best haggis bonbons ever, & best venison loin. Cooked to perfection. Puddings to die for. Wine perfect complement. Blue cheese requested, cheddar delivered- would have preferred an apology rather than a ‘chef says he put blue cheese on’...

Charming restaurant with brilliant food, lots of options and great staff. The mussels were absolutely superb and the chips that came with them were some of the best chips I've had!

This was my first visit to A Room in Leith for a while, and things had changed since my last visit. There was no set menu which we had previously enjoyed on many occasions, and it was no longer possible to BYOB. We all opted for main courses as we didn't really fancy the starters. Two members of the party had mussels which were fine, and the third the venison (delicious). It was a huge portion of mussels, so we didn't bother with deserts. A Room in Leith has always provided solid, reliable menus, with friendly staff, and we enjoyed our visit despite the restaurant being very quiet (though most places are early in January). It was nice to see the restaurant showcasing Scottish fare (game and seafood) so it won't be our last visit.

Good everything. Couldn’t fault it. Very reasonable price and helpful staff. Portions were very generous and so much so after starter and main couldn’t manage dessert! Recommend.

It was a cold night so to be welcomed with a cosy fire was a good start. The service was very good and bread was brought to the table. Our group ordered the fish pie and the game pie. All 3 guests thought the fish pie was delicious and very filling. Unfortunately the 2 game pies, although very tasty, were undercooked with tough meat and the pastry too thin and partly burnt. They were taken off the bill, so the restaurant were apologetic.

This is the first time we had been back to A Room in Leith since they changed to a Seafood and Game Restaurant. We had the Seafood Platter with the Blackpudding Scotch Egg And Warm Pigeon and Beetroot Salad. We were not disappointed - food still as delicious as ever. They have taken the favourites from the old menu and made them better. Service still A+ also.

We took foreign visitors who loved the Great Scottish food here. Some dishes can seem a bit pricey, but quality is unbeatabke. Quantities are huge, so don't the over-orders on side dishes. We are definitely repeat customers.

4 of us enjoyed a nice meal at A Room in Leith with good food but the portions are over-generous so all of us left some food on our plates, which is rather a waste. The service was good but the restaurant lacks atmosphere, and I preferred their previous location at the back of Teuchters' Landing - this had a real buzz and vibe to it and an outlook onto the water of leith which you can't see from the new location, unless you're seated in the outdoors area.

Nice staff who were friendly. Ambience was ok but nothing great. The running theme that made the experience "meh" was salt or lack of it. Whiskey sauce for steak was bitter and lacked seasoning. Mushrooms lacked salt. Not sure if this was on purpose to balance seasoned meat. Scallops were not seasoned and overcooked. Again not sure if on pupose given well seasoned rissoto. Either way...a disappointment.

I've kept coming back to the "A Room In" chain for 20 years - the food is always delicious, the atmosphere relaxed. The menu is not extensive, but it changes regularly, and even as a vegetarian the options are so good it the lack of choice has never been a problem. This time I was taking some visitors from Austin, so it was good to have a place with distinctively Scottish cooking and drinks. They were delighted with it. The only reason I haven't given this a 6 was that service was a bit slow.
