  “Very nice restaurant with good service and interesting selection of wines! Overall it was good, but cheesecake was the reason I’m marking overall with 4.”

  “Whilst it was disappointing to hear at first what items they didn’t have available on the menu when we arrived, this didn’t taint our experience. Celebrating my husband’s 30th and I booked it online a few days before and there was no option but to choose bar seating. I called and we were lucky that someone cancelled so we can be sat at a table. I requested for the window seat which they did say couldn’t be guaranteed but will try. When arriving, we were delighted to know our wishes were met and got the window seat next to the water. We had glasses of Prosecco on the house for the celebration and the food was lovely and fresh. Nothing I would have typically chosen but it was delicious. Would definitely visit again upon our return to Edinburgh”

  “We booked this restaurant after reading the shedding reviews and super high ratings. The setting is very nice and if the weather is good, one can sit outdoors. We say inside as it was cold outside. We started with the bread and butter. The bread should have been toasted a bit more and the butter should have been a bit softer. We then got the garlic soup and the mackerel which were both very good. We then got the chicken and the fish. Both were very good as well. The wine was delicious. Overall it was a good experience!”

  “I need a three week tour of the UK in Edinburgh. After a day of walking the city and the Botanical Garden I had an early dinner at The Tollhouse. I ordered the 3 Course prix fixe for $31 and it was excellent. Duck Rillettes to start, pan seared coley and a gooseberry fool for dessert. Service was attentive and the food was true fine dining. The perfect end to my UK holiday.”

  “Service we received throughout the night was absolutely top notch & the staff really do deserve a commendment for this. The setting is lovely & intimate, perfect for a nice meal. Unfortunately the food just wasn't at the standard I expected for such an establishment. The steak was heavily overseasoned which meant the meat couldn't really be tasted. The other beef dish also just lacked that extra bit that would make it stand out. I would still be happy to return however as it ticked all other boxes and am sure they would be able to rectify on a return visit.”

  “Went here for a Sunday roast lunch deal. The service was excellent. Very attentive and obliging. Food was delicious and beautifully presented. A little disappointed there wasn't a vegetarian roast option. My friend had the aubergine and said it was little soggy, as she put it but the bulgar wheat with it was really good. As for the traditional roast it was nice to have the vegetables blanched/hard rather than soft but it may not be to everyone's preference. Would definitely recommend trying out the duck leg rillettes and the sticky toffee pudding. They also do a good cappuccino and hot chocolate. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.”

  “Wow ! This really is a gem of a food venue ! We were a group of 3 adults looking for a delicious freshly cooked meal and this did not disappoint . I can’t believe how good value this was , originally we were going to have the main menu but then realised that most of the items we wanted were on the fixed menu which was a complete bargain for the food offered. From arriving into the venue to each drink and meal as it arrived was perfect 👌 The onion and Parmesan soup was the tastiest soup we have had for a long while. We each had different mains from the chicken , fish and a vegetarian risotto, we all tried each dish and everyone of them was packed full of flavour and presented beautifully . As the first two courses were such a hit we actually all decided on dessert/ cheese selections, these did not disappoint and were fresh and tasty. We all had clean plates for each meal and the bottle of red we had between us was the perfect accompaniment. We would happily come back to sample more fresh food on our future visits to Edinburgh. Perfect last evening for our trip . Thank you for such a great service!”

  “On 23rd June 2025, my wife booked our Sunday lunch at this restaurant. I felt all staff were very good. All our ordered cuisines were very good. The restaurant was very comfortable. My wife’s choice was very good. I look forward to visiting again soon with my wife. Thank you!”

  “This is a gem featuring Scottish cuisine at its best. After visiting the Water of Leith and the Botanical garden, we ended up having the best meal of this Edinburgh trip. From starter, main and dessert, everything on the table bring joy to the mouth and smile to the face. We are from Montreal where the city is famous for all European cuisines. After the meal, I passed by the kitchen and told the chef that Montreal needs a Tollhouse. I wonder if my wish will come truth someday.”
