Inside the prestigious Prestonfield Hotel is the opulent fine dining restaurant, Rhubarb Restaurant at Prestonfield Edinburgh. Within 20 acres of lush parkland, Rhubarb serves fine Scottish cuisine in 2 spectacular Regency dining rooms.

Opulent and theatrical, Rhubarb Restaurant exudes an almost regal feel with silk wall coverings, ancestral portraits and elegant purple and black décor throughout its 2 oval dining rooms. A kilted porter will escort you through and there are beautiful rose-filled gardens.

From the creator of the Witchery by the Castle, Rhubarb Edinburgh boasts an award-winning cellar which features a wine list of over 800 labels. Popular dishes on the Rhubarb menu use the finest Scottish produce including roast red grouse, sauerkraut and prunes with Armagnac or the braised haunch and roast loin of Glenalmond Estate roe deer.

In a beautiful countryside setting, Rhubarb Restaurant has chic salons and bars for cocktails, and divine drawing rooms in which to enjoy liqueurs by the log fires.

                          Quite expensive, but very good. Scallops were delicious, but only 2 on the plate was a bit cheeky.

                                Dinner on Xmas eve, my husband's birthday. The food was great, rich sumptuous and beautiful. The service wasn't so great we felt like we'd been overlooked a couple of times this was rectified.

                                      Time taken to take order was excessively long.
                                      Meal is good. Staff were accomodating.
                                      Been 3 times before. Service makes the difference between a good experience and a great one. IMHO.

                                            Fantastic food and wine at a reasonable price. However, the waiting staff lacked personality and charisma and seemed uptight. A more relaxed and personable approach would be far better!

                                                  We dined early evening and had a very pleasant dining experience which was partially spoiled by the limited choice on the fixed price menu. If you wish to receive service second to none - it's the place to go - never seen so many staff for the number of diners. Food quality was good, quantity was a little small. Best value wine was the Chablis at [$] a bottle from the very extensive 20 page wine list.

                                                        We ate at 18:15 - great timing for a leisurely dining experience.
                                                        Taste and variety were excellent.
