"We booked a table through 5pm.com and selected the wine and dine option that offers three course and a bottle of wine to share for two people. Super value. We arrived promptly for our 5:30 reservation and were greeted by I assume the duty manager as he wore a jacket. Table sorted we were offered menus and a jug of tap water was delivered. Great start. The choices for each course we're more than sufficient for even the pickiest of eaters. We went for soup of the day, haggis balls, fish and chips X 2 and a bottle of the house white, an Italian varietal that was very pleasant. The waiter was very enthusiastic and welcoming and we settled in nicely. The restaurant began to fill and we were joined by couples on both sides. Our starters were delivered promptly and were hot and tasty. The mains are delivered just a few minutes after our starter plates were cleared and the fish was resplendent in a crispy light beer batter, just as described, with chips, peas and tartar sauce. Delicious. Again, plates were cleared and we were offered menus to choose desert. Ice cream with almonds and chocolate sauce and a strawberry panna cotta were easy choices. There was a welcome 10 minute respite before these were delivered and deliver they did. Lovely ice cream and a strawberry desert to die for. Given my gushing review thus far you may wonder why I liken the experience to a curate's egg. Whilst our experience and that of the couple to my left was all that could be expected, the same could not be said for the couple to my right. They were attending a show so had obvious time constraints. Their food was delayed unreasonably and when it did arrive the reaction suggested something was not right. Whilst my wife used the facilities I asked for the bill and the chap with the jacket placed the bill within a wallet on the table and I put £45 cash within this. When my wife left the toilet I saw her approach a member of staff and when she rejoined me she reported that the toilets were in an awful state with faecal matter very obvious within cubicles 2 and 4. We left the table with the cash in the wallet and the chap with the jacket entered from the serving area and we thanked him for looking after us and indicated we had settled the bill at the table. After we left the hotel we ambled up the Grassmarket only to be accosted by a member of staff who had another copy of the bill in his hand and accused us of leaving without payment. He seemed reasonably satisfied when we told him the money was on the table. We had not seen this gentleman before and as far as I am aware he had no part in our service during the meal. It left my wife and I with a rather bitter taste in our mouths. In summary, the quality of food, value for money and service are hard to beat. The devil is however in the detail and I will not return to a place where I have been accused of being a cheat and I have some reservation about how fellow customers were treated and the hygiene in the ladies toilet."

Food was spot on and so were the staff. A truly memorable meal and overall experience. We will be back this December!

Ate here as we were staying in the hotel but it was a nice atmosphere, strong menu and delicious food; excellent service too. The haggis bon bons are FIT.

This is the restaurant in the Apex City of Edinburgh hotel where we stayed last week. Ate here on the last evening of our holiday and it was the best. I can recommend the deconstructed strawberry cheesecake!

Agua had a lovely meal on offer this summer, three course and a bottle of wine for two for only 40 pounds. There were plenty of choices, and the dishes were very tasty and well presented. Staff were very friendly and spontanious.

During our stay at Apex City, we had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. It was the perfect spot for both breakfast and lunch, with an excellent bar as well. Although we didn't try dinner here, I'm confident it would also be fantastic. We highly recommend this place.

After spotting an offer for their set menu, we decided to go for a late evening meal at this restaurant. The fixed price includes 3 courses with wine for £40, which is a great deal for Edinburgh especially on the weekend. The menu options are quite good, with choices like soup or haggis for starters and pasta, fish, chicken, and steak for mains. The house red wine is also notably excellent.

We came in because we were staying at the hotel. The decor and room arrangement is modern and not cozy but the food was delicious. My friend has a Caesar salad that was genuine, not bottle dressing flavored. I had a grilled chicken on a bed of zucchini noodles. (A perfect gluten free choice) The table next to us had their sharing plate of cheeses,meats, oatcake crackers, olives etc. It looked good. It was busy but now noisy and overcrowded like the neighbor pubs.

We had our work night out here last night and it was okay.There were 13 of us and we were seated at split tables which we decided to push together as we were together. We asked for water but were not asked if it was still or sparking so we got carafes of tap water which wasn't good. The starters were served quite quickly as were the drinks.I opted for the Asian spring rolls which were very nice indeed as were the calamari rings..cooked very well,not rubber band like,thank goodness! I followed that with pan fried chicken served with risotto which was also very tasty.After the main course the service got a bit slow though which was a shame.As I'm not one for dessert I had the vanilla ice cream...

We booked a table through 5pm for a visit to the Edinburgh Tattoo.The offer was 3 courses wine for £40, a fantastic offer for Edinburgh.The visit started well, we were taken care of fantastically by a waiter who's name I didn't catch.. (tall chap with glasses)He was welcoming, very efficient and spent time to chat and make us feel comfortable even though he was busy.The food is great value for money, the haggis Bon bons chicken fillet burger were delicious, the tagliatelle was also fresh and tasty.By the time dessert arrived the restaurant was very busy and the few staff were stretched way too thin. A different waiter hastily gave us the wrong dessert but was away so quick we couldn't even t...

"new kapitel has caught my attention after I was on top ten on trip advisor only months after the opening in the oktober last year. that and the fact that it is open for my early january birthday, made it the perfect place to celebrate to become a little older. I was with the man and his family. the man is quite used to my taste and good to the kind of kitchen that would appeal to me for a special occasion; his family not so much and I was filled with shame as his mother scornful went through the menu trying to find something she would enjoy. I've eaten with the family of the man, and I know they enjoy eating, so I think it's a failure of the menu that it is not accessible. the benming always blooming and garnish can appeal to some, but for others it is overcomplicated and it is necessary to find a balance between the two. we start with the starters and I go for venison sour wort pithvier. the venison was underheated and incredibly dry, to the happiness the sourded a little moisturizing and so saved the whole dish, but the aromen were quite not clear, except the garnitur of plastered mushrooms I thoroughly enjoyed. for the largest part we chose a fish dish for our main,- sea trout, smoked muddles, petersilien and coast herbs. where the starter fell, the main recording is getting back. the dish is rich and creamy, and each element adds the complexity of the taste as a whole, without disturbing. the concept is now an old one, and it would be deceptive if it had not worked, as it would essentially pay with this place. I enjoyed my meal in new chapter, although I do not agree with it is stellar status under the hierarchy of edinburgh eateries. it is top ten position is just a flash in the pan of hot popularity, and in time it will be plated in the upper half of the middle stage where it belongs. and that is where it belongs, the dishes can be plated with a michelin star in understood, and the venue and the supporting media has the clean lines and empty slate look of fine but eat the team has a long gone to go if that is their real aim. at the end, although it was a beautiful meal, and cheap (at the moment I would not be surprised to see their prices slowly rise) and the man’s mother found something they enjoyed and that is the most important."
