Excellent restaurant, great food and efficient friendly service. Good wine and whisky lists also. Nice cellar ambience. Convenient for tramstop and for city centre on foot. Highly recommended.
Love the place. Being going for a good number of years and always great food. Have to say today it was quiet but it was really cold the whole time I was there with my friends
We visited Ona cold Monday evening but received a very warm welcome. The food was excellent and a very warming Bowmores Tempest whiskey brisked us away.
Good food, well priced and nice ambience. The other benefit is having a great pub upstairs to chill afterwards which does a great selection of real ales
It was quiet but good for talking as I have been before when it was extremely busy and I could hardly hear for the noise. Food choice was good though I found the hake slightly too salty. Apart from that, all was good.
Lovely restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere. Food is fantastic, very good quality and good value for money. The staff are always very polite and attentive.
Absolutely delicious food & great service despite being packed on a Saturday night. Mackerel starter & succulent lamb which I thoroughly enjoyed. BYOB keeps the price down too :)
Nice atmosphere although a little bit quiet on a week day in winter. Pleasant staff and a good choice of food, well presented and offering good value for money.
Quite a nice meal - steak , salad, haggis, ice cream. Young friendly servers. Surroundings a bit tired. The basement is fairly dark which could be seen either as cosy or a little claustrophobic.
Food was excellent and on the whole the service was very good. The only minor issue was a long delay after we had finished our desserts. We eventually had to go and find a waitress to tell her that we wanted to order coffees.
Delicious food and wonderful staff. Very reasonable lunch with a great selection of courses. Nice wine and beer list available, again reasonably priced and a great choice. Would definitely recommend
Friendly and warm environment with efficient staff. Fascinating mural on the wall featuring famous Scottish faces that entertained our group. Only drawback is it has capacity to get very noisy
We ate early 6.30 and it was much quieter than previous visits which we liked. It has been very hot in Edinburgh this week and the menu was a little better suited to cold weather but having said that we all found enjoyable choices. Very well prepared imaginative Scottish fare.
We really enjoyed the food, both the variety and the preparation, a nice change from the regular pub food served everywhere. The location was also good for us, close to where we were staying. The beer could have been a bit colder, but we Canadians like it like that, unlike the locals. Thanks for the experience, very enjoyable.
This is a favourite restaurant that I frequently use when in Edinburgh, my meal last night (3 people) was up to the usual high standard. Cosy and comfortable setting with friendly service and a good menu with a good drinks choice.
Excellent meal and wine. Starters and main courses perfectly cooked and very tasty. Sweet course delicious. The staff are helpful and do not bother you all the time like in some places
Really pleasant staff, they were very accommodating despite us arriving much later than our initial reservation time. I couldn't fault the food either; top quality yet reasonably priced and the bread basket upon arrival was a great touch. The alcoves at the back of the restaurants are lovely and cosy. The fantastic Teuchtars pub just upstairs is perfect for pre/ after dinner drinks. Very much looking forward to the next visit!
Lovely place with friendly staff and great lunch menu very reasonably priced - highly recommend - good wine last too and Teuchars bar upstairs is really nice too.
The food was excellent and the service was extremely good. I would thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for fresh food in a laid back atmosphere!!
The food was amazing and the service was great - there was a large wedding party in who were clearly having a good celebration and the staff made sure that we were checked on regularly, which was really good. Highly recommended.
Good bistro food and very pleasant staff. Gets busy at weekends do booking advisable. Some noise from upstairs pub but only to be expected on a busy rugby weekend.
Food delicious. We had an small private alcove (for 2) which was great as a big party in so would have been quite noisy if in the main restaurant area. Great service too.
Excellent lunch; perfect portions, taste and service. Great value too. Will definitely be back and will go for the private booth next time. Highly recommend.
Lovely food, good service, pleasant surroundings. What more could you ask for. And byob if you want. Was able to get a booking on a Friday night the week before.
a lovely seating arrangement downstairs from Teuchters Pub up above...some little snug alcoves fitted for 'a table for 2' for you candle lit dining lovers. . The menu on the website said from 18 Jan but it was not the menu we had 11 May. Maybe that was 18 Jan 2016 ;-) Its not a wide ranging menu selection but the starters/mains were excellent. 4 of us with 4 separate mains - delicious. Recommend the scallops in a wee risotto mix. Stuffed sea bream was also recommended. BYOB was also good to know corkage wine £4.50 and £5.50 for Fizz Very friendly staff An interesting mural décor too.....go just to identify the celebs and staff on it :-)
Lovely food. Great, friendly staff & relaxed atmosphere. Good value for money too. Will certainly go back. Fabulous mural as well, had fun trying to identify everyone 😄
Great service .... great food . Absolutely no complaints. Have been there a few times and never been disappointed. Great value for money also .
Excellent food, great service and lovely staff. We visit this place regularly and would highly recommend it. Good value for money with the added bonus of BYOB.
Mains and starters were good, limited dessert menu. When booking wasn't told about time limit for lunch, (they asked for the table back) I would go back and it is byo but the corkage is quite expensive
Food and service were great. We took our own wine and paid corkage and staff were great with chilling it and providing ice buckets! All in all a great night.
Excellent Scottish food, but the restaurant is far too noisy! Someone should do something to reduce the sound. Friendly staff and good service met our expectations.
I went for the fixed price Sunday lunch menu with my family. There was something on the menu to please everyone and the food was well presented and tasty. The staff were helpful and were happy to adjust one of the dishes to accommodate one of the party's allergies.
A superb little find...tucked away in the West End, on William Street. The food was excellent, I dont think I have ever had such delicious "Greens" as a side, cooked perfectly. I had a chicken dish which was probably one of the tastiest I have had. The service was excellent, all the staff very friendly, we were not rushed, and the fact that you could BYOB was a bonus, as they do serve wine. The charge for corkage was a mere £1.50. Would definitely recommend and we will certainly be back.....The Sticky Toffee Pudd was ti die for!!
Nice atmosphere. Friendly staff. My wife's chicken was spot on. My expensive steak was tough and would not recommend. Also some of the bread was hard and one of the olives was inedible.
Despite it being Rugby match day, and so as expected very busy, the service and food were great ! would be happy to go back
Great place. Lovely atmosphere. Not one for a quiet meal but food was spot on. We were seated right by tee door which made it a little less of an experience but didn't detract too much.
This was my 4th visit to a room in the west end and it never fails to deliver. From the staff to the quality of food and value for money there is no competition
Ate with friends, including a vegetarian and one on a gluten free diet. Good choices well cooked, good service and interesting wine (and gin) list
The young lady who served us was very good and the food was also very nice. We were the only people in the restaurant and we found the place to be very cold.
The staff were great the food was very average....the starter was strange, with a main of haggis neeps and tatts which was fine....was an average experience!!!
The atmosphere was good and the food lovely, went to pay the bill and it was very reasonable - the service was friendly without being in your face - overall a great experience and I would definitely go back!
Had a lovely time at A Room in the West End. The food was excellent and the staff were lovely. Would defiantly recommend, and will defiantly go back.
Another memorable lunch at A Room In The West End, Excellent attentive service from Susan, a good variety of homely dishes available to choose from for each course. All 6 of our group thoroughly enjoyed the tasty and well presented food along with the relaxed ambience. The 3 course set lunch offers excellent value for the quality of the food delivered and the BYOB enables the overall costs to be kept very reasonable.
We were visiting Edinburgh for the first time. I researched possible places to eat as I am bit of a "foodie". A Room in the West End did not disappoint. Delicious food, great service and a fantastic atmosphere. The restaurant was full of happy diners and the bar above was heaving with merry drinkers. A fantastic find!
Food was ok but had much better elsewhere. Think that the problem was they were trying too hard to be fancy, plainer food would have been much better.
Loved the restaurant and food choice and presentation was terrific. Unfortunately we were the only guests so lacked atmosphere. Lovely staff and good value will definitely go back.
We had a lovely time! The staff were nice and the service quick. Food was lovely, all in all a great night. We will be back soon.
Fantastic restaurant, staff were really busy but well prepared and very friendly. Food was great, fantastic seasonal dishes and cooked perfectly - will be back again!
Food plentiful and fresh. Crab starter particularly enjoyed by 2 guests. Atmosphere good despite being quite quiet. Good location centre of town. Staff friendly and helpful
The food was good, the service was fine We ate Cullen Skink and drank dry white wine The Pork Belly was super, the Sea Bass a fair touch We came home stuffed as we'd eaten too much
