The smoked duck was moist and flavorful, steeped in a broth full of citrus and umami. The tandoori fish cheeks were also super tasty and larger than I expected. My friend's scallop app was perfectly cooked. And the icing on the cake - the massive side of perfectly crisp shoestring fries that we ordered and devoured. A great special occasion restaurant.

We dined just after they opened for diner service on a Monday. As the first (and only for a minute…read morethere!) diners, the service was great. We started with the olives + bread and carpaccio. Carpaccio was hard to eat because it appeared to be a single piece rather than sliced, which I'm used to. Between the four of us we had the steak, hake fillet, risotto, and potato and leek soup. Everything was solid. Nothing blew us away but it was a great meal overall. And OMG the sticky pudding for dessert was incredible! Highly recommend.

With its nautical decor and lovely restaurant space, it stands out for the better on Dalry Road. The staff are friendly, attentive and although it's normally fairly busy, there's a relaxed atmosphere. Their menu is impeccable and also slightly more unusual than some of the Scottish fayre you find served up in Scotland's capital. They do a great sirloin steak in here made with Aberdeen Angus, but there are also some more unusual options that you don't see on menu's often, such as Middle Eastern platters. It is highly acclaimed by Edinburgh critics and with its veggie, Thai and other such exotic options, a very unusual and great dining experience. Not to be missed.

We absolutely loved our lunch at Timberyard in Edinburgh. At around £85, every single course was…read moreterrific, memorable, and delicious. The setting is beautifully austere, and since it was a lovely summer day, most people were enjoying the outdoor seating. The meal absolutely deserved its Michelin star--honestly, it felt like it could be on its way to a second one soon. We walked out feeling like it was a relative bargain for that level of quality. Days later, my adult daughter is still talking about the dessert as one of the best she's ever had in her life. I'd wholeheartedly recommend Timberyard to anyone visiting the city and will definitely be back on my next trip.

Secondly,my husband wanted the tasting menu but was told both of us had to do it so no go. No single glasses of wine offered so instead they would tell you what kind you can get. The "manager" never came back to ask what my husband would like. I asked for tonic with lime and was told they had no citrus in the house. What I got instead was bizarre and not good. No one asked if I liked it. Took 45 minutes to get our "snacks" and finally the drinks came. Bread was the high point. Two pieces and never offered more. My vegetarian option was a joke. 4 pieces of "al dente" asparagus with nothing as a protein. Then carrots with a cube of celeriac. Dessert was supposed to be some type of lemon sorbet. Cheese was extra at 9lbs ($12)a slice. Asked if we wanted tea and then never came to take our order. Worst hospitality ever. Ridiculous price and no one seemed at all concerned. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!! Not enough light, not heated and lots of wait staff but really shitty training.

However, if we visited again paying full price we would probably reconsider.

So very sweet she took our rather soaked coats and hung them for us!! We ordered our drinks and a wonderful complimentary soufflé puff pastry. Oh my gosh!! I mean the truffle flavored delicacy! We ordered the skink. It was all it was advertised. Light, brothy, beautifully smoky fish was pure heaven on this wet day. The potatoes cooked perfectly. The flavor warm and comforting. Served with a lovely slice of bread and butter. After the soup. Our server brought out a little gazpacho to cleanse our palates. As my son commented soup or salad. Yes! Finally our entrees. The linguine with tiger prawns. The linguine not over cooked. The prawns seasoned well. The entire dish very balanced. Also ordered the arugula salad. I believe it was a Dijon dressing. Perfect!! My companions had a burger. Which I heard was delicious! Ended with the toffee pudding. Of course! It was so light, I expected it to be dense. The toffee indulgent. Melted in my mouth.

We arrived slightly ahead of the dinner rush (we had a reservation) and were seated right away. We ordered the Cullen skink, Venison, Gnocchi, Deep Fried Camembert and sticky toffee pudding. Everything was delicious but please do yourself a favor and order the sticky toffee pudding. It was the absolute best thing I ate on my trip to Edinburgh. The service at this restaurant was impeccable. It got very busy very fast and I didn't notice because the waitstaff was very attentive. The ambiance was slightly elevated, with beautiful Christmas decor all around. If you are visiting Edinburgh and are looking for a slightly more elevated dining experience try this place out. You will not be disappointed.

The restaurant dining room is quaint, comfortable, yet classy in feel. But the best was yet to come. The menu is a small menu which features modern takes on British, Scotch, and locally sourced ingredients- prepared in a creative, French style. Once we placed our orders, we were treated to an amuse bouche of venison terrine- mouth watering and delicious. Then we each ordered Seared sea bass, apple pancake, creme fraiche, avruga caviar, dill oil. The fish was cooked fresh, tender, and the side ingredients had a medley of infectious flavors. For the second course, we each ordered Seared Halibut, fennel puree, scallop and crab squid ink cannelloni, langoustine sauce, samphire, fennel and orange salad. It was the best halibut preparation I've ever had! The presentations were handsome, too! Then we each had the third course. A dessert. I had an artfully deconstructed white chocolate parfait with poached cherries and orange nougat salted almond ice cream. My wife ordered the tonka bean panna cotta, rhubarb sorbet, rhubarb, ginger wine jelly, meringues and honeycomb. Great finish to one of the best dinners I've ever eaten. The wine list by the glass contained choices that perfectly complemented each course. Service was professional yet very friendly and accommodating. Our vacation to the UK was intended as part of our major anniversary. We decided that this evening would be the night to celebrate, in this world-class restaurant.

In spite of the seemingly low score, that's still true now - the food was perfectly enjoyable, staff were all great... I was just left a little underwhelmed this time round. I went with scallops to start - seem to be eating them a lot recently - and they were amazing. Brilliant texture, incredible flavour, and wasn't OTT with the accompanying apple either. My main was the grouse - it was well cooked, good quality produce, but I was just left feeling a bit "meh". If I'm honest, I got the same feeling looking at the menu too. When I go to places multiple times, I like to see changes and evolution with the menus, but this felt no different to what I had the first time 2 years ago. Nothing seems to have moved on. It was good, it just didn't wow me anymore. The only other sticking point was the atmosphere - again, my third trip and I'm yet to see the place busy and bustling. You end up feeling like you're eating in a library a little, which is a shame as its a great little spot. All in all, still good, but just feels like it's gone a little stale at the mo.
