Our meal at the tower was supposed to be the highlight of our trip to Edinburgh in Sept 09. That could not be further from the truth. I had the set menu and all I can say is that I could have done better myself in half the time. Miserly proportions and boring food was the order of the day!!... more

Looking at the web site I was really looking forward to this restaurant. It was border line too expensive but I thought it would top the weekend off. What a let down.................really disappointed, firstly me and my wife was sat next to a really loud American who thought he was 'Lloyd Grossman' who droned on about the smell of a... more

The service was great, food amazing and a really unusual location. I would never think of going to a museum for a 'special' meal usually. On a very wet day in August during the Edinburgh Festival my partner and I had the most wonderful meal at the Tower. The food was faultless and the wine list substantial. We had the... more

We were staying in Edinburgh for the Fringe and my partner had pre-booked a table at the Tower Restaurant, on 18 August, as a birthday treat for me. Unfortunately, our meal was absolutely awful.

I decided in the end most of the negative reviews I read usually have some whiney undertone to them, and so you can usually discount most of them. From the time we... more

My husband and I went for lunch at The Tower restaurant for our anniversary and it was amazing. The food was fantastic and cooked to perfection and we have eaten in some top restaurants so we have compared to it some of the best. The staff were so friendly but not over the top and bothering us. We will go... more

I was so looking forward to eating at the Tower, but was left very disappointed. The starters of pate were OK, but unfortunately we had to wait to the last mouthfuls to enjoy our wine. The lamb was great but it comes at a price. The cheeseboard was awful - straight out of the fridge. We complained and was told... more

We enjoyed our lunch and the beautiful views of the Castle. Though nothing out of the ordinary, my Eggs Benedict was superb! It was refreshing to have 2 perfectly poached eggs after being served "powdered" scrambled eggs for breakfast each morning by our hotel. The staff was very friendly and the service was quick and impeccable. My water glass never... more
