The food is really good, you’ll enjoy it! ideally looking to spend no more than like 70 tbh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Ah... Should probably just stay out of Edinburgh then!Nah he’ll be fine at the Ivy. For about £70 you’ll get 2 course and a bottle of wine almost comfortably I’d say. You’re only looking at circa £20 a main course so it’s fine. As far as Edinburgh restaurants go, the Ivy is second tier at best I’d say though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen that drinks are scary expensive in there. 9.50 for a G&T is madness! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just picked expensive stuff when I was in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I just picked expensive stuff when I was in.I’ve just had a quick look at the menu since it’s been a while and the mains are actually cheaper than I remembered, the most expensive steak is only £32, most expensive starter is £13, but that’s cause it’s lobster. [emoji23]Fair enough the drinks are a lot more expensive than I remember! But I’d say you can easily do 2 courses for under £60. The one I want to try is the new Tattu place just off St Andrews square, it’s been getting excellent reviews from people I’ve chatted to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edinburgh is great for restaurants at the minute, there’s actually too much choice. Every time I tick one off my list another couple open! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t drink these days and the acoustics made it hard to hear myself think. Just thought the food was at best average, decor etc pretty tank and overall a bit up itself for what’s really just a chain. Sure Mrs will like it though if she wants to get dressed up and head out for a nice meal. I just wouldn’t go back in a hurry/ever if poss! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will let you know how it goes When I was there I didn't think it was good - it has 2 bouncers which was a bit weird maybe because they knew I was a fifer. The décor is great and the drinks look good but I felt they were steep for what was provided. The news room might be more suited to dressing up and having a really nice drink. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many decent places to go at that end of town, I’m almost annoyed when people suggest heading towards George Street! Then again I’d happily stay near my flat and go to the Baillie for Friday night drinks and watch the football! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Chief Toffee Teeth Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Anyone been to Condita in Salisbury Place in Edinburgh? I got a booking as a present and the first available table is in March. Have read one review but there are no menus that you can browse, so was wondering if anyone had tried it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
