Spectacular! We had an amazing tasting menu and wine pairing experience. The food was exquisite, great service and atmosphere. We even said hello to Tom who was there on the night talking to diners.They have a nice bar too, with a good selection of whiskies (as you would imagine).One of the best meals we have ever had.

What a delight !!! Superb service, attentive ,ever knowledgeable, polite and professional. The food was exquisite, we had the surprise tasting menu with wine pairings. Stand out dishes were John Dory , scallops and the duck … oh and the tomato consommé and the pork cheek and the soufflé …and finally a visit from Tom Kitchin to every table sets the pattern for an amazing unforgettable night experience.

What an absolute treat this was. The Kitchin has been on our list for years, and I'm so happy to say that it did not disappoint! The food was wonderful, as expected, they were able to create an incredible tasting menu for 3 separate dietary requirements, and we all loved it.The wine pairings were innovative and interesting, AND they had a full list of non-alcoholic wines to my sober friend's delight.The hospitality, though, was where it all came through. The service was just immaculate, so friendly and considerate. Tom (the man himself) could clearly tell how excited we were to be there and invited us into the kitchen for a drink, which really was such a highlight of my culinary exploits.We loved every minute of our time here from when we were led to our table through the beautiful, rustic and moody decor, to them having a cab on speed dial for when it was time to leave.What a perfect evening

We had an absolutely wonderful evening! The food was spectacular - fresh & creative. We opted for the Prestige Surprise Tasting menu with wine pairings. The meal did not disappoint, and the wine selections were an epiphany " match to our meal. Great detail provided in describing our meal and our wines. Chef Kitchin has an amazingly talented team

I've wanted to visit this restaurant for quite some time but it is a four hour drive from Leeds. So, when we had the opportunity of a few days in Balmoral with family it presented the ideal opportunity to make this a priority on the way back via Edinburgh. We booked for a Friday lunchtime on the basis that it provided a broad opportunity to order A La Carte, the tasting menu, which we not great fans off generally, or the lunchtime set menu. We opted for the lunchtime menu and wine flight. It turned out to be one of the best dining experiences we've had for a while and we've eaten in other Michelin star restaurants. Loved the ambiance from the moment we walked through the door to the moment we left. It was a delight to meet Tom Kitchen when he greeted all the diners at their table and it was good to see the name above the door" actually running the pass. The food was exceptional as was the wine pairing

* A note on grades, I rate outwards from three stars. *A culinary highlight of our trip to Edinburgh and London in May of '23. We arranged for a late lunch on a gloomy Friday and were immediately charmed by the attentive (though not intrusive) service. The drinks and locally sourced food were top-flight.Highly recommended if you find yourself in the Edinburgh area. Make reservations.

Unique experience at this venue. Everything was carefully crafted and combination of the flavors were great. Very cozy ambience and reminded me of some Nordic restaurants I like. the service was a bit slow side but I just had bad luck at this place at the time. I might try and see how it is next time.

Amazing experience. We booked a late lunch here to celebrate a special occasion and we loved every minute of our experience. It’s been on my list for years and it did not disappoint.All of the food was 10/10, we upgraded to include the cheese and this was such a special touch getting to pick what cheese we wanted. All of the staff were really attentive and made us feel so comfortable.Only downside was we booked the last table for the lunch service, when we arrived the restaurant and kitchen had such a buzz but by the time we finished our mains the restaurant emptied and all the chefs left the kitchen. We then had to flag down waiting staff for some cocktails after our cheese as no one was really present in the restaurant - in future i would not book this time slot due to this.Overall had a wonderful experience and Tom even came out the kitchen to say hello to us when we arrived!! Thanks to all.

Truly fabulous experience from the food to the theatre of it all and especially the staff who treated us like actual queens for the whole evening. Additionally, the wine pairings were spot on, the cocktails were original and delicious. Each course of the tasting menu blew my wee brain, and the cheeseboard was a sensation. Will return when I've replenished my bank account.
