Castle Terrace Restaurant

Very nice though quite expensive restaurant. I have a preference for less than 5 people to serve a table for two, but it did not lead to any faults. Service was courteous, non intrusive, timely, no mix-ups, pretty much perfect. Food looks and tastes great, but be prepared for unusual ingredients and combinations.

Excellent dining experience. Food was very tasty and well prepared. Service whilst attentive was a little haphazard at times. Had to remind on a number of occasions that we were waiting on wine. Some food was placed without an explanation as to what it was. One of the staff mentioned they were busy..... These issues though I my serve to demonstrate how good the food was as this alone was fantastic. If front of house was Improved this would be a 5 star

Great fine dining restaurant Three weeks ago my wife and I went to the two michelin star Marcus Wareing at the Berkeley in London. It cost twice as much and did not taste as good as the meal we had this evening at the Castle terrace. We've also visited the sister restaurant the Kitchin and prefer the Terrace. I return to the Castle Terrace whenever I manage to make it up to the Edinburgh festival and the flavour is what stands out. Castle Terrace dont do clever or pretty food at the expense of flavour. The flavour always has depth and intensity and the food also looks nice. Highly recomended.

We had an awkward and funny experience here. We came here reading all the reviews of how amazing the food was after walking all day in the city. We immediately began to be pampered by the staff and I knew this was a place to nice for us. We sat down and were presented with the specials and didn't see an option to order individual items and discovered this was a price fix minimum 3 course dinner starting at 70£. Our guests could not afford this so we had to apologize to the manager and discreetly leave. We finished our beers at the bar and no one made us feel bad for what happened. It was the opposite. They were all super nice to us. At the bar we watched the bartender make drinks. He was passionate and artistic. I will come back here when it is just the wife and myself and we are more prepared.
