The Blossom - Edinburgh

Great restaurant was a lovely evening for myself an partner, food was absolutely lovely no issues at all. An very well priced.

They aren’t on open table dont book through this method. I didn’t want to give stars as didn’t get to experience there due to the unprofessional of the staff.

Not a restaurant , this is a hotel canteen with staff who cannot communicate as they have poor English and also they did not know who we were and what we were there for. Did not even eat here as the menus were scrunched up pieces of paper , some even had food bits stuck to them , so we asked if we were at the right place and just had a quick drink and got out of there.

Whilst the food was nice and reasonably priced, the service left a lot to desired. We had a table booked for 8pm all as we’d expect by this point. We ordered a pint of Stella and a glass of lemonade plus a jug of water for the table, so nothing too exotic or taxing to prepare. 15 minutes later our drinks arrived, minus the jug of water and our food order was taken. So it’s now just a few minutes after 8pm and we order, again nothing to difficult, just 2 sirloin steaks; one medium and one rare. Fast forward a while to 9:20 and our food still hasn’t arrived, neither has the jug of water we ordered 1 1/2 hours ago. Now I don’t expect to be eating within 5 minutes of sitting down but neither do I expect to be waiting 1 1/2 hours for my first course. I called a waiter over to ask if he could find out how long our food was likely to be and it must’ve been some kind of divine intervention because within about 10 seconds our food was on the table. I decided to risk it and ask for another pint of Stella, big mistake. We ate our main course and our dessert was brought out about 5 minutes later. Luckily we had the foresight to order dessert at the same time as our mains. We finished our desserts at no great pace, just relaxing and chatting while we ate and still waiting for the beer I’d ordered which never materialised. Paid the bill and left around about 10:20. Whilst the venue was pleasant as was was the food, the service left little to be desired. Will I go back? Perhaps, perhaps not. We left satisfied with the food but very disappointed with the service.

Great restaurant was a beautiful evening for me a partner, eating was absolutely beautiful without problems. a very good price.
