I. G.

The restaurant is very good. I had a Sunday lunch and there was a String quartet Viper Swing. The food is on buffet, but so delicious and good variety of choices. The stafs is so good like invisible, but everwhere you need them with a smile. If you want to feel different for your Sunday lunch, come here, pleasure will be all yours.

Great place for a relaxed drink and a light meal. The decor of the place and modern and well lit compared to many hotel bars, and the staff is superb, very observant and professional! For food we had the vagan mezze board and the smoked salmon. The food was very good and really tasty. Overall a good choice.

N. P.

Easily the best place in Edinburgh for drinking - mainly because of the staff! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I was speaking to Mike (the bar manager) about possibly doing a distillery tour etc and he was kind enough to take me through some whiskys and explain which drinks would naturally follow on from the previous! It was fantastic and he has turned me on to an excellent bottle that I'm really enjoying right now (Glen Scotia). Then came the real magic! The next night I came back to the bar with my wife and some friends and Mike made us a genuinely INCREBILE Rum based old fashioned drinks! My wife doesn't even like old fashoineds but she loved it. He made a selection of 4 different flavours. Highly highly recommend that you speak to him and let him know which flavours you like and no doubt he will concoct a beautiful drink for you. 5* experience - genuinely made my time in Edinburgh!

Beautiful place so cosy. The sticky toffee pudding wasn’t that good but nice staff and service.

p. w.

Unexpectedly a great place for a cocktail! Nice variety of beverages. Really pleasant and accommodating servers. Fun space.

E. S.

I have been in the Van Gogh exhibition. It is amazing. I have enjoyed it so much!

S. V.

Service was great. Cocktails were good. Mussels were amazing. Steak was pretty good. Pork chop was very bad and dry. All very pricey for what you really get.

T. C.

GREAT DESSERTS AND SERVICE Came here two nights in a row in the evening at around 8pm. There's quite a relaxed vibe in this place as we just walked in and were casually able to take a seat. The waiter was a really nice guy and was quick with taking our order and serving food. Not sure if they change up the menu, but the desserts we got were really good. We got the apple tart which was nice. It had a great balance of flavours as the sweetness was balanced with the taste of the apple. Then we got the chocolate pistachio pot dessert which was pretty good. This one definitely needs to be shared because there is so much sugary goodness in this dish from the ice cream, to the cream, to the chocolate within the pot. The pistachios were a nice touch as they gave the dish some crunch. For desserts from a hotel restaurant on the weekday, they were pretty good.

R. L.

A few items that we wanted on the menu was not available such as t bone, and banana split for dessert. Starters to main were cooked and tasted almost perfect. Drinks are good. Desserts were not impressive.

L. M.

Excellent restaurant. The food is lovely and staff very friendly. You can even enjoy a fantastic of the Castle. Best spot before/after a session at the spa 👌🏻

J. D.

If you visit Edinburgh, for whatever reason (we visited for the 2017 Tattoo and Fringe), then this has to be one of the places you should consider popping into for a meal. Friendly staff, pleasant environment, excellent food and a good choice of drinks. I'm sure we will revisit some time in the not too distant future.

E. J.

Had the gin experience for two with my sister two days ago and had an amazing time! Amaury was an excellent host - would definitely recommend for any gin lovers.

M. G.

One of the best tasting experiences I've had! We learned all about how the botanicals that go into making each type if gin and how quinine is necessary to "wake up" the gin. You are not going in for shots of gin. This is an education on how to make gin drinks that are amazing! And at the end, you get to bottle and wax seal your very own bottle of gin! I HIGHLY recommend One Square!

C. E.

We had the pre-show meal for the military tattoo and it was delicious. our waitress was very attentive and even brought me a birthday treat. Good restaurant

M. R.

We did the ‘Ginnasium’ gin tasting. Got to try 4 really good gins with accompanying tonics and nice garnishes. The guide was friendly but didn’t really go that in-depth about the gins, which was a shame.

R. M.

An amazing experience. Music, images and quotes gave a real understanding of the man.

J. L.

Absolutely outstanding Christmas dinner. As good a meal as I can remember and the service was every bit as good. Will definitely be back.

a. c.

We only went as our booking elsewhere was cancelled and nowhere else had availability. The restaurant isn't yet open so maybe it will better food wise when it is. Best to avoid the tepid calarmari. The decor is bright and modern and kept clean

C. H.

It's a hotel restaurant. Lovely decor, nice staff, middling food.

K. F.

Beautiful meal and incredibly helpful staff.

D. M.

Delicious lunch. Great food and lovely serving staff.

J. D.

Done the gin tasting class there it was fantastic and our specialist Aliste was very informative and friendly

K.

It was an amazing night out with my partner, The staff was really friendly and attentive to all details. The food was delicious and presentation on the plates was amazing and the descriptions of each dish accurate and detailed. Thank you to everyone who made us feel so welcome, David, Ana, Fabiola and Clark.

R. l.

Brilliant exhibiton - van gough alive

D. K.

Loved our evening out here. The gin experience was brilliant. Look forward to doing it again and soon!

A. M.

Brilliant tasting menu made from Scottish produce and accompanied with a matched Scottish drinks package. Food was well presented and full of flavour. Lovely friendly knowledgeable staff. I would strongly recommend and definitely will go back.

C. A.

I'd never thought of coming here before but we were given a voucher for a champagne afternoon tea for Christmas. The restaurant itself is beautifully designed and we were warmly welcomed. The champagne, sandwiches and cakes were all delicious. I ordered an unusual tea and it was horrible! When the waitress noticed I wasn't drinking it she brought me an alternative in a fresh teapot with no fuss or extra charge. The service was a little stuffy and formal.

j. m.

Fantastic service nothing was too much trouble. Fantastic food at very reasonable prices Altogether a great visit

S. D.

Visited after a long drive and late check in at the hotel. Having spent the previous week travelling through England and Scotland and dining out in different towns and cities, this place really stood out. Both myself and my girlfriend found out meals absolutely delicious - by far the best we'd experienced during our travels!

C. W.

The main restaurant was unexpectedly shut in the evenings. The bar is good and food excellent.

H. R.

Beautiful dinner and ambience. The cocktails were amazing, would definitely recommend.

J. D.

Fabulous gin tasting experience with Amaury!! Highly recommend - informative and fun! Loved it! Thanks Amaury!!

S. P.

Unfriendly welcome and negative disgruntled member of staff attitude on arrival. Was really disappointed as we had just arrived and checked in after long trip. However our assigned waiter was great although seemed to be very stretched across many tables. But food was very good and tasty!

T.

Best burger I have ever had in my life. I am from the US and traveled to Edinburgh for business and ordered this magnificent burger 5 times in less than a week. I immediately told my local colleagues all about it and at least one agrees with me. The Scottish do not play games when it comes to a world class burger and I'm telling you that this is the one to try.

C. G.

This is a great restaurant! Wonderful food and service. We ate here our last day in Scotland and would love to eat here again if we ever come back.

N. M.

Our gin tasting host was Mert. My goodness this guy knows his stuff. We had a fabulous gin tasting and learnt loads. Really recommend this. It's great fun and you will leave with a rosy glow, I promise, and maybe a bottle of the house gin.

M. L.

Up market lounge bar on the edge of the city centre. Modern unfussy decor with comfortable seating and discreet background music. Reasonable range of wines, spirits and other drinks Not a cheap place to socialise but lends itself well as a place to chat. Service is fast, accurate and friendly.

j. v.

Great place to eat and share a few drinks together. The staff first class especially at reception and in the restaurant. It does make all the difference. Highly recommended

B. B.

Can recommend the gin tasting experience

K. V.

This was my first visit to this branch, although I have been to the two in Glasgow . It did not disappoint. A great experience and a lovely meal for my group of five.

D. M.

Visited on a voucher. Excellent service and food and drink were delicious.

Y. G.

Although, I found the tour somewhat more than what I believe it should cost, it wasn't short on being quite insightful. For instance, despite the extravagance of traveling on a yatch this size with the retinue of additional smaller yatchs that accompany it, I found the Queen's bedroom and living quarters very mundane and ordinary...to a point where I cannot describe it in any other way except labeling it as very basic. I've given it 4 stars only because I think the ticket price is at least 30% higher than what I would have expected to pay.

J. L.

First class, but today they did not have enough staff. The young member of staff was doing sterling work until she was joined by another staff member. This was due to the Rugby. In future I suggest they put on enough staff.

M. M.

Total delight walking into One Square knowing the food, service and ambiance will deliver a first class customer experience! Once again surpassed my expectations! Thank you.

G. I.

The restaurant is very fancy and the food is amazing!! Our server was excellent at helping us to make great selections. It's located in the Sheraton hotel.

A. F.

The food was amazing and plenty of it, wine was lovely and plenty of it! The staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

C. W.

Eaten here a few times now. Dinner and afternoon tea and been consistently impressed. The Sheraton is a great hotel and One Square is excellent.

s. m.

Food was excellent, drinks a bit pricey but well worth it for the cocktails, staff are friendly and attentive

P. I.

Lovely restaurant with excellent food and reasonable prices. would have been five stars if not for a small piece of plastic in my pudding.

C. H.

What a lovely spot for lunch or an evening meal. The bar is gaining a reputation for its extensive selection of gins, and rightly so - there are 52 to choose from. They also do a brilliant gin tasting deal as well where you can try different ones with matching tonics for £18. Once seated in the dining room which has a wide-screen view of Edinburgh castle and great for people watching in Festival Square, we set about making selections. There are some exciting Scottish inspired modern dishes so making a decision is that bit trickier. I opted for the pan fried crab cake with avocado purée, spicy pepper dressing & cashew nuts which was really tasty. It's a huge crab cake stuffed full with crabmeat. My friend had the breakfast style dish of Macsween haggis (£9), with woodland mushrooms & a runny sunshine-yolked duck egg. Others around the table went for the Salmon fish cakes, spinach, soft poached egg & grain mustard sauce (14) and the seriously huge Burger which caused some severe food envy! One Square really is worth a visit. We are going to head back on an evening soon to try the wonderful sounding dishes including Lamb Wellington, with spiced carrot purée and burnt leeks (£19) and Highland venison with kale, parsnip, cocoa nibs and damsons (£23) and the Scottish langoustines, grilled with garlic butter (22) Yum!

P. B.

Ginnasium with Florian. Really great couple of hours with all new gin and good knowledge of them. Would certainly recommend this experience, not the usual set of gins.

D. H.

Been plenty of times. Excellent as a couple but service struggles with groups. Food is excellent and you can usually get something last minute as often overlooked as a restaurant option

K. F.
