The Court

★★★★★

“Dinner at The Court. Food was tasty but overshadowed by poor service. Server with glasses and red hair seems to be on a power trip. Or she really needs training. Table next to me got the incorrect main dish. Due to her reading the incorrect dish he pointed at, never mind that he stated what he wanted to eat. Blatantly told me that she will be delayed in providing me with a spoon for my Seabass main dish- which came with a clear broth and (floating) lentils. She the proceeded to instruct another server, seat a family and chat to her colleague.... when the cutlery tray was not even 2 meters from me. Had to ask another server for a spoon for my cold mains. If I knew it was so close, I would have helped myself. Oh and they forgot my drink, but order was taken by another person. Server in a jacket was more responsive and attentive. However, too little to late. Such a pity. Loads of potential and great venue. Morning crew was better and attentive.”

“Had a private valentines day 4 course dining experience in the boardroom suite away from the celebrating rugby fans. This including an AMAZING harp player (name may be Mia?) Who was an utterly delight to the atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive. It was a set menu with bread to start and petit fours to conclude. This was all paired with a ~£85 rose champagne. Overall cost was £125 per person but it was incredibly worth it for the music, atmosphere, service, privacy and food. Incredibly romantic event but limited availability (somewhat of a one off due to the match). Views of edinburgh castle available too.”

“We had a lovely lunch at The Court, a restaurant that immediately stands out for its stunning design. The large ceiling window floods the space with natural light, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the interiors are thoughtfully styled with a mix of tones and textures that give the place real character. Service was attentive and friendly, which added to the overall positive experience. From the menu, we tried a mix of dishes: the kids’ beef burgers were excellent, the goat’s cheese salad was fresh and full of flavor, and the tomato salad was light and refreshing. The fish and chips were decent but fairly standard, while the linguine could have used a bit more seasoning to bring it to life. One area where The Court could improve is the variety on the lunch menu—it would be nice to see a few more creative choices. Similarly, the kids’ menu, while reliable, could benefit from incorporating some healthier yet still fun options to make it more appealing. Overall, though, The Court is a beautiful spot with great service and some standout dishes, and with a few small tweaks to the menu, it could be an even better dining experience.”
