Food was outstanding. Service was a little slow, but we relaxed and enjoyed the atmosphere.
Expensive food, poor service. No smiles from the staff. Will not recommend this place.
The environment was too loud. The white wine was served in a red wine glass. The food was okay, nothing special. It's worth to mention that we did not try the 6 Scottish dish menu.
Very good friendly service. Not a large selection but good food and good wine selection.
Great food and atmosphere. Even when rally busy with the Fringe being on
It was rushed, food was cold. We had been so looking forward to this experience but felt we were on a conveyor belt. I hadn’t drunk my gin fizz before they had brought out the next course and wine to our table. Couple of highlights…the canapé for me and the lemon posset for my husband. The venison might have been very nice but it was cold but according to the waitress that was how it was supposed to be! Dessert wine undrinkable. Feel totally ripped off
In Cambridge, which where I live, there is a restaurant described as 'shabby chique'. Let's stick with that. However the food was all quite superb. I had the 6 course tasting menu, and all courses were wonderful. The flight of wines was equally good. The only thing which puzzled me was the price. How on earth do you manage to produce food of this quality for the what for these days is a very low price!
Staff were lovely, very knowledgeable and I think the Tasting menu is great value for money.
This was the best restaurant meal I had in Edinburgh for my recent trip. I had a perfectly done sea trout which was tremendously delicious and the most perfectly crisp skin which u can hear crackle with each bite. The risotto was also spot on and even the side was good. The hasselback potatoes were amazing. Baked to perfection and tremendously tasty. A great meal!
Great service and fantastic food. We tried the vegetarian taster menu with different wines - absolutely brilliant experience! Highly recommend this restaurant for visitors to Edinburgh.
Great Food and Service. We will definitely be going back.
Excellent service and wonderful food. We would definitely go again
Honestly nothing too impressive and slightly over priced Undeniably steak and hand cut chips were nice, and really substantial. Portion size was good and wait staff was friendly, helpful
Lovely food. Great staff and a lovely atmosphere. we will be back … and soon.
Lovely service and amazing food. Relaxing dining, in this super wee restaurant
I originally booked for 4, not realising we would be 6, but tables were quickly rearranged for us and we had a nice quiet corner to relax in. The food and wine were all delicious, especially the sea trout with curried mussels and the venison. It's a little on the expensive side, but perfect for what was a special occasion meeting up with old friends up for the weekend. The staff were great, nothing was too much trouble and were very obliging.
An absolutely glorious meal , recommend the tasting menu with the wines ….. delicious and great staff……a hidden gem .
Lovely experience , staff were great , freindly and amazing food , I'm a big eater , there could have been more
Visited for the first time for our wedding anniversary. Staff were really lovely and welcoming. We chose the 6 course tasting menu and my husband had the paired wines. Food was excellent and my husband said the wines went well. The haggis course was both our favourites, It was amazing. I have to be honest though the pork main dish was a little dry and for that reason it wasn’t perfect. It wouldn’t put me off and we will return and I recommend to others to try. At £49 for a 6 course tasting menu great value.
Extremely small portions, overall bland flavours, very disappointing, staff were very good.
All the staff were lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful. Both me and my mum loved our visit and will be recommending it to our friends and family
Our food was delicious, innovative and interesting. Service was exceptional. A meal to remember.
Lovely food and friendly attentive staff. Good value for money

Warm welcome, tasty food, wines and amazing service. Fantastic experience.
We had an amazing tasting meal at The Cellar Door. Lorna, Sophie and Lydia looked after us and cared that we enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended this place
Lovely atmosphere. Delicious food and pairing wines. Attentive and friendly staff.
Loved every minute of our visit. Felt personally attended to, quick service. Gorgeous setting. Food top notch as where our cocktails. Made my husband birthday a special occasion. Will be back next time we visit Edinburgh x x
We arrived a bit early and were easily accommodated and once seated provided with our menus. The options were clearly explained to us and we were left to make our decisions whilst the member of staff got our prosecco. As this was a tasting menu, there was no choice but that did not at all detract from our experience. The food was lovely and service excellent, no rush between courses and always asked if we wanted to wait a few minutes between each course. I elected for the wine pairing, the Katherine Hills, Shiraz was lovely. This was a lovely meal and worth a visit.
Gorgeous taster menu in a beautiful location. Easy to find and very easy to access if you are staying in town.
lovely place and amazing atmosphere. wasn't high up on the beetroot starter - it's mainly just chopped beetroot! but the mains were superb and after a yr with no steak that was worth the wait - yum :)
We enjoyed being able to return for a meal. Lovely meal and some of the staff the same
We booked early, 6pm, and it was quite quiet so not the usual buzz of chatter. Not the restaurant’s fault! We visit twice a year as we visit Edinburgh twice a year. It was great to see they had survived Covid, same owner, friendly and made to feel very welcome. Thank you.
Food was delicious. I had the Taster menu as a special treat and can thoroughly recommend. Everyone is incredibly friendly, great ambience, oh yes, they are also dog friendly for those accompanied by four legged friends.
Great food and excellent service. Would visit again. Great atmosphere.
Amazing evening at The Cellar Door. Food and service was perfect. Really made our Anniversary celebration really special👍😁
