We've been going to Sardi's for many years. Friendly, family run restaurant at reasonable prices. Food is always very good and we've never had a bad meal. Don't know what the previous two contributors were moaning about. Our regular Hogmany haunt.

I couldn't believe the comments made by fiftytrix72! We had nearly the same experience. I ordered avacado salad and it arrived with a partially rotten avacado, overripe tomato, lettuce that had been near a freezer, and partially burnt toast. I discovered the rotten avacado after having eaten a bit of it, but then asked the waitress to take it away. I said that I didn't want to make a fuss or have another, I just wanted it removed from my bill. A few minutes later the owner (a women) came to our table and demanded to know what my problem was. I told her and she berated me for five mintues stating that if I had eaten any of it I had to pay for it. I finally told her I would be happy to pay for it just to get her away from our table. She said that "everyone likes our food...even Americans!" What a nightmare. My daughter and friends were astounded as were other patrons who witnessed this circus. The rest of the food, by the way, was just average and the decor was not much. I wouldn't go to Sardi's unless you are willing to accept whatever they give you without complaint. If you do complain...expect a fight.

I have been here twice but only for coffee whilst wating for the kids coming out of Heriots. True, this woman is a rude so and so and should not be in the business.

This is my favourite place to go for lunch with my friends. They have a great lunch deal and the service is very friendly and efficient. I am surprised by the comments about the owner, she has always been very friendly when I have been there. This is an unpretentious restaurant which serves unexpensive tasty Italian food. I highly recommend it.

OH MY GOD... people like the woman who owns this place should be kicked out of the business... we were jeered out of the restaurant in front of about 20 other customers because we sent the bruchetta back (which my 11 year old niece could do better) this was apart from the fact that we got the wrong wine TWICE... the owner told us to get out when we complained and then frog marched us to the door laughing and waving us good bye. Edinburgh Tourism... you should do something about this place... it's disgusting that restaurants like this still exist and will only damage other good restaurants in the long run.... Appalling!!! I have given it half a star because the system wont let me give a big fat ZERO!

The previous two contributors were moaning about dreadful service and dire food. I had a similar experience with the rude owners. They have no qualms about raining verbal abuse on their unsuspecting customers. If you haven't yet experienced one of their tirades, count yourself lucky. If you dare to complain about being served spoilt food, then get ready to be shouted at. If you can find another restaurant in the Festival high season, then go there. If it isn't August then there's no reason to go anywhere near this shameless tourist trap.
