Mussels were excellent. The cod special was also excellent. The wine was very good and the service was just the right touch between unmindful and overly solicitous.

We had an excellent meal and there was a good atmosphere in the restaurant. Highlights were the oyster bloody mary shots and the picanha rump steak.

Very good meal. adequate service, but lacking. Servers should know what is available and time mains to arrive simultaneously, not sequentially. I would eat here again.

I had the mussels in white wine, shallots, garlic and cream, and they were absolutely fantastic! There were almost too many for me to eat. Excellent value for money. My companions each had a steak, two different types, which they really enjoyed. Would definitely recommend as the atmosphere is very relaxed, the service is friendly, and the food is brilliant.

Visited the Mussel and Steak Bar for a birthday dinner last Sunday and found the place to be very mediocre. For starters we had the oysters which were lovely then followed by the mussels which were also nice but a touch spicy. For the main we ordered the seafood platter which was a disappointment. The 'Platter' consisted mainly of mussels with one queen scallop and 2 prawns and approx. 4 cockles. We mentioned this to the waiter who simply shrugged and agreed with us. Would I dine at the Mussel and Steak again??...probably not! There are better restaurants around that provide better value for money at the same cost or cheaper!

Excellent meal and outstanding service. Had the seared trout and the ribeye, with the scallops for starters. Every dish was cooked to perfection and was extremely well presented.

No info on gluten free nor asking about sides. However service, speed, and as we had mussels they were diligent about cleaning the waste Food could not be faulted.

Best Mussles in the world! Even though located at one of the tourist hot spots of Edinburgh, it is a really great place to eat.

Excellent food and service. Staff were friendly and there was a good choice of food to select from the menu. We were at a table for six so did feel slightly cramped upstairs but otherwise we had a lovely evening.
