We lunched here and were both of the opinion that it was the best meal we had eaten since we last ate at Sketch. The experience was superb from start to finish. Service was friendly efficient and knowledgeable and the food was almost faultless. The next time we come to Edinburgh we shall certainly plan ahead and try and make... More

Flawless from the phone booking to walking back out the door. Food was amazing but staff, service and atmosphere just as good. Look forward to returning

My wife and I selected this restaurant for a special treat, we selected the tasting menue with the tasting wine, first impressions were good and the service was very fast for our first three courses, we were enjoying the experience. A large party approx 20 of Asian diners entered the restaurant and were seated adjacent to us, they became very... More

My dear friend paid for me to go to Castle Terrace as part of my 50th birthday celebrations, i have to say this whole visit was a celebration of its own, a celebration of sophistication without snobbery, the best customer service ive experienced, food to die for and wines to lift the spirit, all in all it was a total...

I grew up in Japan, and now I go back there and have occasions to have traditional/modern Japanese cuisine. Castle Terrace's prefix surprise menu is such a special treat everyone at my table enjoyed much. It is obvious that the chef is influenced by the traditional Japanese Kaiseki style dishes - a small portion of many plates pleased our eyes... More

This is proper fine dinning and come with a price to match but was well worth paying. The canapés when we arrived were really nice, the amuse bush was not to my taste by my wife loved it. The Menu is extensive with an al carte section and a seasonal section (you can mix and match), there is also a... More

In reality, the restaurant's food is a solid 4, but not at the prices charged. We were there last night and started with a risotto with ox tongue which was good and a scallop plate that may have been the best we'd tasted. Our dinner's were a cut of beef for 44 pounds (67 US dollars) which was a big... More

From the moment you enter till the moment you leave this experience is great. We booked online for the taster menu and were asked about dietary requirements at that time and these were catered for by the kitchen. The staff are great and what sets them apart is they know how the food is cooked, what the ingredients are where... More

Amazing! this is whithout a doubt the best dining experience of my life. You can feel Chef Jack´s exeptional precision in every plate that leaves the kitchen. The service is wonderful, you really feel wellcome and pampered in a great way. I highly recommend the wine package. It lifts the dining experience to a whole new level.
