Hmmm, this was really expensive fish, with no sides and really forgetful staff. It's hard to decide which was worse really; the extraordinarily salty fish dishes or the million and one staff members all forgetting to bring you what you've ordered. I don't think there will be a next time!

Loch Fyne Restaurant, 25 Pier Place, EH6 4LP, Edinburgh

Having dined at a couple of other Loch Fyne restaurants, the Edinburgh branch is definitely my favourite and I've been three times now.

The location is great and the internal layout strikes just the right balance between overly spacious and too cosy.

I always enjoy the view, I always enjoy the service and I always thoroughly enjoy the food.

BUT...

I never enjoy paying for it, I always come out feeling I've overpaid by about 30%.

For what is basically a corporate menu, the prices are a bit steep. At the prices charged, I would like to think the chef was creating something special for me rather than assembling something dictated by head office.

A few more specials or a menu that was updated more often would certainly make for better value in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, it's a lovely place to eat but you will pay through the nose (as will I the next time I go!!!).

The food was overcooked and too salty. The staff seem a little inattentive, even when the restaurant was at nowhere near capacity. The portions were inconsistent -- some were alright, but others were too small. Finally, charging separately for the vegetables pushes the price right up.

A disappointment.

Loch Fyne Restaurant, 25 Pier Place, EH6 4LP, Edinburgh

Nice restaurant, attentive staff and could not really fault the food. However, and it might be because we went on a Tuesday and the main chef probably wasn't on duty but I ordered a tomato and mozzarella salad with my main course and it arrived with feta cheese. When I complained, I was told that they didn't have any mozzarella and they took it off the bill. One main course we ordered was the home-made fish stew with chorizo and olives and it was very nice but there were no olives in it. Small things but you do tend to remember them. We will probably will try it again sometime.

Went on a sunny Sunday evening with a party of 14 and had a very nice time, staff were attentive while we took ages to order and the food was very good. Nice selections even dishes like chilli squid, plus good presentation. Not too expensive and a great location. I think I would even be happy to go back there for drinks at the wine bar on a nice day.

I left Edinburgh to work overseas as a diplomat in 1966. I returned with my wife, to retire to Leith, in March 2007. Shortly thereafter we discovered the Loch Fyne Restaurant in Granton. It is a revelation. The staff are delightful, helpful and attentive. The food is excellent and the atmosphere magical. The Arctic chard if it is on the menu is a must. It is one of the finest fish dishes I have ever tasted, cooked to perfection. The vegetables served with this fish dish are crunchy and fresh. The cost of the meal with a glass of wine was amazingly good value. Highly recommended and we will go back. But you must book. It is very popular, and rightly so.

Yes Yes Yes oh fantastic, Loch Fyne restaurant in Edinburgh, if it's as good as the origional we're in for a treat!!!

I went, I tried to get a table but couldn't. (Ah I hear you all saying "he should have booked!"). The place was practically empty, I asked the nice Maitre D for a "table for two please".

"Sorry sir it's only bookings". I looked around expecting to see a large queue forming behind me... nothing!

"You can have this leaflet which tells you all about the restaurant, and then next time phone us to reserve your table".

What next time! Maybe in a couple of years... I'll just drive to the original thanks.
