I have no problem with the shop itself and they are doing well considering all the upheaval. I do miss the old shop, but looking forward to being back to normal once the new shopping centre is opened. We were at the cafe which is not laid out very well. We had to stand in a queue for coffee then had to wait to get a cake. You then have to go to a separate bit for paying. The cafe is my only gripe & we did not like the very strong latte's. Beautiful view & cakes though. I do like the idea that you can have a wee wine or prosecco.
Even though the shop and staff are bravely coping with the rebuild around them you wouldn't know.They make every effort to welcome each and everyone into the shop.we spoke to various me bees of staff who were on hand to help with anything and everything.Last night offered me time to look at other items I would not have seen normally.The shop is very presentable and I will definitely be going back.JL never knowingly undersold....keep it up.
Lovely views if you are lucky enough to get a window seat.
Food is average. Overpriced for what it is, with a small selection of food. A small roll is £4.95. Cakes are good, though.
We went there on a busy weekend. Most of the tables were taken, and the few available ones had dirty dishes on them. There is room for improvement on the service.
Overall, excellent location and a good place to stop for cake and coffee when shopping at John Lewis.
Lovely restaurant with a fantastic view. Lucky enough to get a window table. Caesar salad with chicken and bacon and rhubarb and custard cake were both every bit as good as they look in the photos.
Hidden gem in Edinburgh. Top floor of the John Lewis building with the best views of Edinburgh across the forth.
Food and cakes are great. Coffee is still barista made.
Went first thing on a weekend morning - managed to get seats near the windows to enjoy the great view. Was also impressed with the proactive, warm and welcoming staff.
Had a very enjoyable afternoon tea with superb views. Very relaxing.
Very busy today but tables were cleared & cleaned very quickly.
