The food and the service were second to non. We will be back as soon as we come back to Edinburgh. Just perfect and amazing
High prices £220 for 4 people and still had crisp when I got home! Poor seating. Tiny scallop starters. Pushed in the corneron the second floor.
Lovely staff, high level of cuisine and quality of ingredients, everything was fresh, definitely an owner that knows how to run a restaurant, money well spend.
Awesome steaks best I’ve had for a long time definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a perfectly cooked steak.
Portion of mussels was huge and very tasty. Filet was cooked as ordered and tender. Sides, salads and basket of bread are all extra. Service was excellent. Tables are crowded together, so not romantic atmosphere. Dinner for 2 with 1 cocktail,1 glass of wine and tip ran £96.
Menu was not exciting as we expected. Mussels were very small and over cooked and menu was overpriced. There are restaurants serving better fish and seafood close by.
I ate oyster , mussels , steak . So , very good taste!! also pudding with ice cream is very good. And , stuffs is very very nice !! I like this restaurant!
A delicious meal with excellent service. The quality of the food was great and the amount received was fantastic aswell. Well worth the price for a special treat.
Really enjoyed my dining experience here - was such a lovely atmosphere with some beautiful food - a definite must if visiting Edinburgh! The quality of the steak and presentation was simply fabulous!
Locale piccolo e intimo, in poena Old Town, ottimo cibo e servizio. Peccato so per il vino con il tappo a vite, anche se buono.
Very gd. Steak was cooked to perfection. The staff were very polite and helpful Location of the restaurant was central and easy to get to.
Excellent food, staff friendly and attentive. Second time we have visited and I'm sure we will be back again. Book early as people being turned away.
The staff was super friendly! The waiter helped me make my dish selection and he was so right! I had the mussels in the whiskey bacon and cream sauce and the salmon- both so delicious that I finished it all! Everything was perfect!
Great steak and beef dripping chips superb. Would like to see a starter of muscles on the menu but I am sure if I had asked they would have provided, the service was excellent
Great food doing just what the name says. Good selection of wines and friendly attentive staff. My 1st visit but my wife had been previously. Thoroughly recommended.
We went there as a party of 4, which adults and 2 kids. We were served quickly, the staff were nice and helpful. The food was excellent and not overpriced. The kids portion were decent. We often go there if we're in the city, and will again next time.
Staff very attentive and food was wonderful. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone. Will be returning as soon as I can😉 My friend, whose Birthday we were celebrating, was delighted with every selected choice from the menu!
Food fantastic, staff all really nice + helpful. Felt paying separately for sides a bit expensive giving price of main courses . Venue really good + atmosphere.
Excellent experience. Food was top notch (probably the best steak I've had, anywhere), good service and they even brought us a heater for next to our table. The kids really enjoyed their food too. We'll be back!
The food was good but, being from Texas, we know good steak. Their best steak was comparable to some good steaks that I am used to eating and which typically are served with sides. The cost of the meal plus the a la carte sides made the meal much more expensive than I am used to.
Good service, a bit slow! Very very average food for value! Would I come back I don’t think! Maybe but I wouldn’t rush as are many other better places!
Excellent food as was the service from the friendly staff. Steak was cooked to perfection. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Edinburgh.
First time visit but won't be the last. Friendly efficient staff and the food Was excellent. Crab lasagna starter a must ! My husband had a steak and believe me he is fussy. The steak was excellent. Looking forward to working my way through the menu.
The oyster is NOT very fresh, and the mussel is a little stink, the price is quite high ,,, good location , but not very recommand
Service was absolutely outstanding! Lovely food too. What an amazing afternoon 😍 Can't wait for a return visit with friends. Great price for edinburgh -
Great service with great food, staff are friendly, menu is varied enough but not too much, the mussels come in several different 'flavours' I loved the Thai ones.
Great location. Very easy to get there. Good food and services. Will come go there again if we are in Edinburgh. Surely will recommend to our friends.
As usual the meal was excellent and the service fast and friendly, what more can one ask for, thank you once again see you soon.
Ate there by myself and all the staff went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and welcome. Great food and service! Highly recommended
We got a warm welcome, and were served excellent seafood. The wine suggestion went perfect with our food. Service was great, and we're more than happy to rate this to a 6!
Service was great. Food was mostly good, steak was tasty but tougher than I would expect for the price and the pepper sauce was very bland - just tasted like single cream with ground black pepper. Chips are excellent as are the mussels. I think they could do better for the price that they charge.
Lovely staff and good quality food! I had the Thai red curry and my boyfriend had the steak which were both absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Excellent mussels. The crab meat lasagna appetizer was very tasty, too. The steak was also good, but we enjoyed the mussels more. Convivial atmosphere. Service was relatively efficient, but please be a bit more patient during busy hours. We had such a good dinner there the first time that we went back for lunch again a second time during our two-week holiday in Scotland.
Amazing place! Delicious food, kind and professional staff. Mussels and steak were beautiful, perfectly cooked and tasty. I would be back here for sure. Thank you.
The food is very good and the service, a little slow, but we weren't in a hurry. However the menu did not seem as varied or interesting as it has been in the past which was disappointing. We did miss out on there being specials which may have been a part of that? I thought 1pm on a Saturday was a bit late to be deciding specials for the day.
Food was ok. Mistakes made with the order and when two kids ice-creams were ordered, delivery of one bowl and the waiters explanation is for the kids to share is just plain odd. Not the best eating experience.
Awesome food and place, staff very friendly and a great ambience. Totally recommend it and do try the seafood, which is to die for. Amazing
I had a lovely evening at Mussel & Steak meeting up with my sister and a friend for dinner. Food was excellent and service was good too! We'll be coming back soon.
Brilliant food as always. Staff were great with my wee boy and gave him crayons etc so he was happy. Still very much a firm favourite.
Excellent food and wine. Friendly and efficient staff. Very good value. One of our favourite eating places. Would recommend to anyone looking for a place to enjoy good food.
Always been one of my favourite Edinburgh restaurants. Great seafood in a bistro environment. Adequate wine list and drinks selection. Helpful and knowledgeable staff and you will need to book
the steak is cheap but the quality is satisfying on the whole. the service is nice. would like to go again. should add more options to the lunch menu.
Lunch menu. Food was lovely, service was great, water could have been a bit colder,but there was plenty of it! A bit more choice for desserts and we would have had 3 courses instead of two.
Service just qualified as ok. Seafood a bit overdone. Atmosphere was very good. Staff were very friendly and welcoming but we're still waiting for our bread. 😋
wonderful dinner~especially the oyster ,so fresh...I prefer to chili mussels ... oh ,the bread is hot and delicious with butter... I think the price of meal looks fine. we paid 76 pounds for 4 people
i have visited this restaurant on many occasions however this time I felt it wasn't as good. The portions were smaller but I'm not sure the price was, the red Thai curry mussels weren't anything resembling red Thai curry and the atmosphere in the upper floor of the restaurant was poor. I wouldn't go back, and this used to be my go to restaurant!
Highly recommended. Great food and service, just not sure if the sauces with the mussels, delicious as they were, were quite as described in menu !
Great food. Staff very helpful and very friendly. Overall great service and atmosphere. Would definitely go back again and also recommend to family and friends.
It was good food, helpful staff. We had the lunchtime menu, which had an adequate no of choices to choose from. Recommend going there if you want a good priced fixed lunch
Our party of four all thorough enjoyed the meal and service that was provided. Starters tasted great with the Haggis and mussels for 2 of us. 4 steaks and chips that were cooked to our order, season well and presented lovely. Desserts were tasty with not a crumb left in sight. Servers were very friendly and couldn't have done anymore for us on the night.
