Grazing By Mark Greenaway - Edinburgh

All good to three evil youngs were placed on the next table. Why are our transatlantic cousins so fucking rude and loud? we were not the only ones that are disturbed . . fast in another quiet table for which the personal must be praised. however, food excellent if perhaps a little medium on portion size. will we have been going back? probably for lunch before the pubs open . . . .

Marco was an excellent maître d', very attentive and welcoming. the room is beautiful, although the tables could go a bit further apart. the green makes a nice task to absorb sound and we were most details of the very long phone call of the businessman next to us at dinner. eating was really nice, beautifully presented and at the end we were very full. there was a quite great waiting time between the dressed in the middle, which meant that I had sat too much of the amazing brot and we were there almost three hours, but I guess the restaurant did not push us into a bigger party, it would probably have been good. overall nice eating, good ambiente and very attentive, hospitable staff.

There is a reason why no local foods go here. the waitress took our drink order and then finished her layer and went without someone (and without bringing our drink). The starter was very disappointing cheap roasted brot with a tiny piece of crumb and too much mandel cream on it (ephasis on the cream); the main course (beef wellington) was nice and well cooked.

Great welcome from the hotel staff efficiently shown to our table but having ordered a champagne it took 20 minutes to tell us they had none. Chose a different one. Ordered matching wines with tasting first course delivered wine had to be requested. Senior person then took over which made things better.

Excellent tasting menu and wine pairing personally I would have like a little more of an explanation of why that wine went with the food but still a thoroughly enjoyable evening and I would go again and reccomend to friends
