  “While the food was perfectly acceptable the table was sticky, our starter never arrived, half way through the main course we were interrupted so the extra starter cutlery could be removed and the glass of tap water asked for never arrived either. They did however do well with allergy checks. Very much only for those stuck at the hotel!”

  “I stayed for a week, and got the steak pie and fish & chips multiple times, and both were exceptional, and the fish was fresh, not frozen. The Sunday Roast was also excellent with prime cuts. The staff was friendly and attentive! Thank you!”

  “Fantastic place for a bite! The building is super cute and has a great view. I had the Lamb Rump which was absolutely heavenly with the orange sauce. For dessert I had the Scottish Sunday which was perfectly sweet and a wonderful end of an evening. The service was very nice. No complaints! A very nice place to eat.”

  “Dinner with family and the taste is very good. My kids really enjoy on it. Their mussels also fresh but the portion seems to not fit for 2 adults. The atmosphere is very nice with scottish features. Their service also good.”

  “Afternoon tea for four. One was gluten free (allergies). We made use of the Wowcher offer to try this out and really were not disappointed. For those in the know, coeliacs is not the easiest of food to get right but the chef at the Braid Hills Hotel completely smashed it! My daughter was delighted with the quality of the food that she was served, as were we all. My son-in-law raved about the haggis bites, which was good because he was able to eat mine (haggis, yuck, lol but it's just not for everyone). The smoked salmon pate was, however, delicious. Now lets get down to the sweet treats. Wow! Again, my daughter was so pleased with the home made scone, scones are notorious at the best of times, but take the gluten out and you will struggle to get them as light as these were! All of the food was truly lovely. Food wise I would put it up there with some of the best in Edinburgh, however the dining room was maybe not up there. That said, it was very far from being bad, I would say that it was simply average. Please remember though, the cost of this, even without a Wowcher deal, was so much lower than "the best in Edinburgh" so for the food to match that standard what's not to like. All I am saying is that if you are looking for swanky, this is not the place, also, if you are looking for a greasy spoon this is not the place. If you are, however, looking for a place that is warm and welcoming, you have found your little piece of heaven. Service though, wow, we had an Asian waiter, was he from India? certainly somewhere around there, I only say because I did not get his name and would really love for management to know what an absolute gem he was. So warm and welcoming and extremely attentive from the minute we arrived until we left. Oh,and, not on the menu for the afternoon tea was some red lentil soup that the chef sent out with compliments to us, we all agreed we would have been extremely happy to order that had we been dining there, maybe next time. Yes, next time, there most certainly will be a next time.”
