All five of us greatly enjoyed the main courses we had. Three had desserts and one cheeseboard then tea & coffee. Again very good.

Popped in for lunch and drinks Excellent service Food was lovely Will be back Highly recommend

We were left standing supporting a very frail, elderly lady in an almost empty restaurant for an unacceptable amount of time before being seated. The portions were small. The meat in the steak pie was lean and tender but some sort of curry powder or cumin had been added which was not mentioned on the board or by the waitress. If I had wanted a curry I would have asked for that I certainly wouldn’t have selected this had I known. The vegetables were nice. The waitress was not personable (perhaps because the manager had had to come to seat us). I have had much better sticky toffee pudding which was overpriced at £6.25. The room was cold. Won’t be back.

Excellent!

We had our Golden Wedding Celebrations in the Ravelston on Saturday 26th Feb and it was so lovely with our family and friends. Our meal with all of us was really delicious and the service was very very good. Dean and all his staff done us proud all night. Allan and I stayed over in a lovely room and had a lovely breakfast in the morning. We would recommend it to anybody. Thanking you and your staff . Yours Sheena and Allan Gordon.

Had a lovely meal. Staff very attentive

Beautiful setting and fantastic staff. Portion size was woefully small. Tiny skewers of kofta for starters with a few peashoots to hide the empty plate. Haggis bon bons were good but were meant to be filo parcels. Beef rib main - 3 mouthfuls of beef that was fatty and grisly Pork main arrived without the extras - bacon and apple Sticky toffee pudding was a 5mm slice of cake - again three mouthfuls if that. Really disappointing.

Took the wife for valentines dinner, lovely food, good portions. Could have done with background music. Overall a very good evening.

Three of us were at the Ravelston for lunch yesterday and we all enjoyed it very much. One of us chose a vegetarian option, one had fish and chips which was delicious and my choice was Balmoral chicken which was really tasty and the vegetables were properly cooked but not too hard which can be very tricky.

Very disappointed. Food was average. I had a burger that was very very dry. When I arrived there was no-one around. A cleaner went to find someone for me. The waitress didn't want to be there. When I asked for forks to go with the spoons for our dessert, she clattered them down on the table without a word. We had to catch a different server to order coffee and go to find someone in order to get our bill. There were 4 of us and it cost £30 each before tip. I won't be back

I have been to the ravelston on numerous occasions and its been brilliant. However recently I've been and I am very disappointed in the food. The dessert were very poor to be honest. I had sticky toffee and it was like half a slice of bread with very little sauce. My friend had a cheesecake which came in a prosecco glass. Certainly not how we imagined it would come. The presentation and portions for what you pay for is very disappointing. I'd like to say it can be made better as it used to be a good place for lunch and dinner.

Had a lovely meal meal at The Ravelston. Food and service were phenomenal. Will definitely be back.

Lovely lunch with new menu. Food well presented and delicious. I understand that the Express menu meals are smaller but they looked lost on the large plates. Perhaps smaller plates would be an idea. Staff very attentive

Very disappointed with Express menu. Poor choice for 3 pensioners. Fish and chips ok. Chicken pie was not pie. Tiny bit of pastry on top of stew. No choice of sweet only choc tart which none of us wanted. Asked for scoop of ice cream but none available. Offered tea or coffee for 3rd course. We had 3 soda and limes which were over £7. Wont be back. Only good thing was the pleasant dining room and atmosphere.

Great food and excellent service. Return visit is a definite.

Excellent food and service The staff on last night where amazing and very hands on! Will definitely be back! Xx

I had pate for my starter, the oat cakes were brick hard, when I said to member of staff I was offered soda bread instead. Maybe give customers the choice. My husband had haggis balls, he said they were lovely just wasn’t enough. 2 haggis balls. Our table was cleared and we were not asked if we wanted a desert, we asked for the bill and we waited 35 mins and had to ask another member of staff again for the bill.

Great food and service! Great price with 50%off mains! Thanks
