Jacquie A: Superior food and service. Great for a special occasion since it is on the pricey side. Make sure to make a reservation.
Elizabeth: One of the most beautiful restaurant interiors in Edinburgh. Choose the 3-course set menu for £35, otherwise a bit expensive. Perfect for a special occasion dinner.

Rebecca: Bit pricey for an everyday thing but great for a special occasion.
Anthony Cameron: One of the best sea food restaurants I've ever been to. From my last visit I would highly recommend the sea bream curry and steak tartare.
Chloe Henderson: Don't worry if you're a veggie, call ahead and they always do something yummy. My favourite is the kick ass pea risotto.
World Whisky Day: Remember to try the chunky chips with mustard mayonese dip ! oh and the whisky is great too :)
Duke: Fantastic location to sit back, relax and having one of these highly recommended whiskies from the society. Club members only !!!
Malcolm Campbell: Members club, but far from being snobby. Much prefer the cozy Leith original to the up-market Queen Street venue. Possibly the best place to drink whisky in the world. Staff give great recommendations
Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts: Capturing rarity and perfection in a glass, the Society's single malt whisky attracts curious and discerning whisky lovers from all corners of the world.
Queen's Hall: Members-only organisation devoted to whisky but don't let that put you off. Open, stylish, welcoming environment & staff. A haven in the city centre.
Michael Oglethorpe: As ever, you cannot fault the Whisky Rooms at the Societies Queen Street venue. New malts every time , together with a lovely set of rooms, and equally high quality food from the bar.
Layla: Lovely bar with great and sophisticated cocktails. Service is extremely friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy, kind of like being in a trendy wooden cabin. ;)
Illegal Jack: Awesome spot for cocktails!
Karolina Cermanová: The staff is hands down EVERYTHING. Super fun and kind, making me feel like I'm the only, and best, customer in the world. Loving the interior and Kentucky Greeting cocktail, too❤

Pam: Fantastic meal! Wish I lived nearer.
Ashley Gates: I've eaten sushi on four continents, and I can say that what I have eaten tonight at Kanpai ranks among the best sushi that I have ever had. If you like Sushiya at Haymarket, you'll love Kanpain
Simone S: By far, the best sushi I've ever had. The sashimi was stunning as well as the salmon teriyaki. The green tea ice cream is lovely. Excellent service!
