Excellent venue with wonderful staff and exceptional food. The staff were amazing and extremely attentive. We were all made very welcome and had a wonderful afternoon. There was an exceptional choice of courses and several ‘special’ dishes. Good quality food in lovely surroundings served by wonderful staff. Can’t wait to return.

Superb in all departments! We were in Edinburgh for 4 nights and visited you on the first, we were so impressed that we booked again for the last night. Everything was good: food, drink and service. A special mention for Kris who was excellent and a great ambassador for you.

Great venue, great food, great service The perfect event ! Booked the private room for a retirement lunch for 19 people. Service, food, atmosphere could not have been better and excellent value too. BYOB an added bonus. I've had lunch and dinner in the restaurant many times and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended !

Great option for private dining A big thank you to Howies Waterloo Place for hosting us the other night. The feedback from the group was really good. Everyone really enjoyed the food and the venue was fantastic to allow us to move around without getting in the way of other diners. Service was really well organised and efficient. Many thanks

Perfect place for family get together. We dined here as group of seven siblings who are all scattered across across the globe. What a gem of a restaurant. Delicious food with ample choice to suit every taste. The wee dram to accompany your haggis starter definately a must! We had a delightful fun attentive server who made the whole evening a pleasure. We will return!

Welcoming and good food We ate here for my sons wedding, the staff were great nothing was too much for them, and the food was excellent , I don’t think I saw a plate leave the table with anything left on it.
