On a very busy night they sat us pretty quickly, service was a little slow but considering every table was full it was understandable. Would 100% go back! (Would improve my Italian if I did ;) )

Luckily we booked a table, due to its popularity it was busy but didn’t mind waiting because the food was excellent. If you are coming book a table to avoid disappointment ( but if it’s busy it must be good ).....the food is amazing and the portions aren’t shy.

All the food was delicious — the mussels with two different sauces (curry coriander and wine garlic), the queen scallops starter, and the amazing chips. Service was quick and our Portuguese waiter was lovely. The prices were reasonable too. Would return when I’m back in Edinburgh.

Good food, but it took ages to arrive, and it was a bit pricy. The location is fantastic, and the chefs obviously know there stuff, but the atmosphere is a bit off. The interior reminded me of a yacht from the 80s, there was no music, and the lighting wasn't helpful. Friday night you would expect locals to be drinking and eating oysters and mussels and enjoying some good house music, but the restaurant was instead half-filled with confused looking tourists. I'm sure this place is semi-succesful as is. But how many of your customers are repeat customers? This place has so much potential. Go eat out at some popular restaurants - do your market research - and fix your atmosphere and interior. Maybe hire one more chef so things move quicker in the kitchen. And update your wine and drinks menu - it's very limited. I won't be returning (until things change).

It’s the second time I’ve eaten here and I had exactly the same one year later: oysters to start with and then the steamed seafood platter. Absolutely delicious. Service is excellent and I felt well looked after as a person dining on my own. It was pricey but worth every penny.

This was a delightful restaurant. We liked everything about it: the greeter, the servers, the food, and especially Abby, the university student who we chatted with near the end of our meal. Mussel & Steak was recommended to us by a friend in Tampa, FL, several weeks ago, in a chance conversation about our upcoming trip to Scotland. We'll be sure to do the same to anyone we know who plans to visit Edinburgh.

Tasteless mussels. Really a tourist trap. You would think a restaurant with mussel in its name would have good mussels. Tacky devote. Avoid it. Much better options in town

When I was in Edinburgh four years ago and again two years ago, I gave this restaurant the highest rating for both food and service. Tonight, the food was very good, but the service was atrocious. I always tip for service, a minimum of 10 to a maximum of 25 percent, but I could not reward the awful service provided tonight. I looked for the manager to voice my concern on my way out , but had to leave without seeing him/her.

We never fail to enjoy the food here - we have been coming for more than 10 years, and it is always excellent. Of course you need to like Mussels and Steak, the choice beyond that isn't huge, but if you don't, why would you go? Well perhaps for the tablet ice-cream... Also worth noting that they are very child friendly.

Für den zu zahlenden Preis ist die Qualität des Essens, des Ambiente (Platz- und Tischgröße) und der Bedienung zu gering. Es gibt in Edinburgh wesentlich bessere Lokale.
