A very enjoyable evening. Dinner was excellent, very good smallish wine list. Atmosphere relaxing and service friendly/efficient. A dedicated sommelier is required. Certainly would recommend The Pompadour as one of the upper restaurants in Edinburgh.

From start to finish, this was a special experience. The setting was perfect, staff were professional and the food was delicious.

In recommending this restaurant I imply merely that it is a charming venue for a very special occasion where cost and value for money is of no immediate consequence. So difficult to make people understand that you can eat the most delicious of meals and drink delectable wines in Edinburgh for a fraction of the price set in Edinburgh's 'fashionable' eating houses such as The Pompadour and others that shall remain nameless. The food was tasty and well presented, of course, but we have eaten and drunk as good if not better in other city venues which make no claim to Michelin status. Two absolute minimum size wines ( you are not offered anything greater by the glass than 125 ml) would have bought a bottle of quite decent wine in other restaurants. And a sensibly priced 250ml glass of red wine would have immeasurably enhanced the overall dining experience for me. But one doesn't eat at The Pompadour with any budget in mind. Staff were courteous and added to the quality of the overall dining experience.

Have dined here twice now and have eaten very well on both occasions. For the standard of of cooking (fine dining/Michelin level) and quality of ingredients I think that the set priced, 3 course a la carte menu represents excellent value. The menu focuses on quality, seasonal Scottish/British ingredients. I have enjoyed gorgeous scallops, halibut, roe deer, sirloin and so on. Portion sizing is perfect - not too much, not too little. There are delicious little canapes to start and tasty sweet morsels at the end of the meal too. The only adjustment I would like to see is a bit more choice at the affordable end of the wine list but we did enjoy a reasonably priced bottle of Gruner Veltiner. Wine prices tend to reflect the 5* hotel setting but they have a lovely sommelier who is happy to help. Service is excellent and I was warmly welcomed back on 2nd visit making me feel valued and appreciated. We expect to return regularly now.

Disappointing start to the evening with no-one at the restaurant podium to greet us , also the cocktail lounge area that we had had previously used on our last visit to the restaurant had been used to host a table for a private dinner , so the opportunity for pre-dinner drinks was not provided and not communicated to us prior to arriving. After selecting a bottle of wine from the wine list I was informed it was not available , I was offered a reasonable alternative which was fine , but again prior information when given the wine list would have enabled me to choose without wasting my time looking for a wine that was not available.

The room was beautiful, and the food was delicious and beautifully presented. The server waiting on this table next to us explained the dishes. Ours did not. Service was good but became slow and inattentive toward the end.

Devine food and location. Service was well recovered but clearly very short of staff. Scallops starter was bliss
