We were in Edinburgh to visit the Christmas Market. This is now an annual event and as usual we booked a table at Mussel and Steak Bar. Yet again we were not disappointed. The food was very good and the staff were very attentive throughout our visit. I would recommend a visit

Good overall - excellent service! A bit disappointed-we wanted the seafood platter, but no lobster today. The alternatives we had were good, but not outstanding.

Nice food. Quite simple. A little bit pricey though The steak was about £25. And just came with tomatoes on top. And there was no bread with the mussels.

Best mussels in Edinburgh, and I have tried many! The guys here really understand seafood and do not overcook them, or put too much salt unlike many other establishments. Mussels are plump and delicious :) Very popular with Japanese visitors and local residents.

This is a warm, welcoming restaurant. The service was excellent and my meal was superb. The only downside was the amount of gristle on my husband's steak.

The food is absolutely divine. The steak is beautifully cooked, with hardly any fat on it. The sauces are delicious I have tried both the pepper sauce and the whiskey sauce and they are spectacular. The cheesecake for dessert I highly recommend, it is undoubtedly the best cheesecake I have ever tasted and possibly one of my favourite desserts. The service is very polite and fast, I absolutely love going here and it is so far my favourite Edinburgh restaurant.

Fantastic experience. Eaten here a few times when being hosted by Scottish Rugby Union. First time as a 'tourist'. The food was quite frankly THE best meal I have had. The steak and mussel main course was to die for and value for money. David the wait or was exceptional. Friendly ambience and recommend to anyone!

After being there a few times before, I prefer the old day time menu. My companions felt the same.we had the 2 course for £13. Starter small and found the beef very dry... had to ask for more sauce. Oyster shots were good.

Portion of mussels was huge and very tasty. Filet was cooked as ordered and tender. Sides, salads and basket of bread are all extra. Service was excellent. Tables are crowded together, so not romantic atmosphere. Dinner for 2 with 1 cocktail,1 glass of wine and tip ran £96.

Menu was not exciting as we expected. Mussels were very small and over cooked and menu was overpriced. There are restaurants serving better fish and seafood close by.

Locale piccolo e intimo, in poena Old Town, ottimo cibo e servizio. Peccato so per il vino con il tappo a vite, anche se buono.
