Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This hidden gem is still as fabulous as it was on a Sunday night before the Rutland and Busters back in the day! Chicken yellow bean still my favourite. The satay skewers, wafer paper prawns and king Szechuan prawns also delicious. Couple Tiger beers and...sides and very reasonably priced. Was packed to capacity all of the Friday night with all ages and table sizes. Great food, great service 5 🌟More

There were seven of us - it was supposed to be ten, but the weather that day had been awful and blocked roads and flooding meant that three of us couldn't make it. The table we'd booked was ready but now too large for us;...we were shown to another, just the right size with no fuss and the minimum of bother. The menu was really good, but we eventually opted for one of the set banquets. The food that followed was excellent and far too much for us to finish, much as we would have liked to! A couple of "doggy bags" were offered and handed out. The service was very good and as already said, the food was excellent! I can't wait to return.More

Excellent food and great service! We popped in on Saturday night for a quick bite to eat. Everything was delicious. Especially enjoyed the chicken satay starter and kung po king prawn main. Definitely recommend for tasty and traditional Chinese food.

Massive a la carte menu, fantastic food and great service. This restaurant is a hidden gem and has been open for as long as I remember. We would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will definitely return soon.

We have booked to come here several years in a row for a birthday celebration. Despite being explicit in the booking instructions about our order and the fact it was a special birthday, this year it was a complete let down. The food is lovely...and service was good but we missed the special wow factor that kept us returning year after year. Won’t be returning which is a shame!More

We have been calling into the Rendezvous from time to time for 40 years or more but never again. Four of us booked a table and we were shown to it quickly. When the food started to arrive it was cold, not even lukewarm, and...we had to send it back. It came back to us warm - not hot. The restaurant was cold and draughty and we left as quickly as we could. Staff seemed busy and almost offhand. Never mind, there are lots of other restaurants in Edinburgh.More

We've been customers of the Rendevous for decade's, but have now given up. The excellent food overshadowed the (frequently) rude and off hand staff. We visited last weekend, and although the food was "fine" it is a poor imitation of its former quality. The final...straw is wedging the front door open to "freeze" you out at the end of the meal.More

Fond memories of this Restaurant from the 80's so my chum and I rounded up the grown kids to share in the memories. Food was lovely, but...service from rude, aggressive lady spoiled experience. Restaurants add service charges on bills but these are discretionary, so asked...for ours to be removed - invoking more hostility. Simply won't return and overshadowed some lovely food moments.More

The welcome was ok not particularly friendly but busy probably. Food not very warm and came in 4 stages for 6 people so everything was cold but the time we could all eat together. None of the staff smiled whilst serving us. We were told...when we asked to order a sweet as we hadn’t been offered that it would take ages as the kitchen was busy??? We ordered anyway but wish we hadn’t bothered as even that felt rushed. The bill was brought before the sweet and when we asked why we had the bill before the sweet we were asked if we still needed the sweet??? We were told as we were getting ready to leave they needed the table for the next people. They did supply plates and a knife to cut our birthday cake though which was nice. Overall we were really disappointed with the service the timing and lukewarm food. Sadly will not be back. Used to be a place to look forward to with family and friends but they just give the impression you are a bother to them and it’s uncomfortable. Spent £260 which is a lot of money for a Chinese meal to be let down. Nice and clean though and lots of space between tables which is good for covid. Chinese Manor House for us or Beijing banquet even Cosmo has great food.More

Travelled over from Fife with Friends from Glasgow, as had always enjoyed meals here since the 70’s. So disappointed from the minute we stepped through the door. Our first interaction was to be greeted with ‘we need table back by 7pm’ no hello or welcome....Our table was already set with COLD tiny serving bowls. Our plates arrived to put on circular turning table. No warmers and food was lukewarm. The food at best was mediocre. Sadly the service from staff was poor - not once did we get a smile, food was planted down with no gesture of kindness or enjoy! How a previous customer could say staff attentive is beyond me, as that was certainly not our experience. We had brought our friends here thinking it would be something special as in the past, but actually felt embarrassed. There was absolutely no ambiance here. The only thing I can say in its favour is the decor was nice and had a spacious layout. I would give this place a miss there are far nicer welcoming restaurants in Edinburgh rather than the robotic service we received here.More
