    Forgot to bring out one of the starters and waited 10 minutes to receive the bill. Apart from that very pleasant staff, great food and would return again.

    Waited over 30 mins for 2 burgers. It wasn't too busy either. Brought out the wrong burger but didn't realise until I started eating it. Made the staff aware of this. Was offered another burger but didn't want to wait another 30 mins. No offer of discount for the lateness or wrong order. Food was okay, not worth the money to be honest.

    Disappointed to have been sat right by the rest rooms especially as the restaurant was not very busy and there were plenty of other tables available. My Dad had to keep pulling in his chair as people squeezed passed to go to the toilet. Service was quick and polite. Food came out quickly and was ok but portions far too big and overpriced; in particular the dessert which was a few pence short of £9. Some nice memorabilia but difficult to view when there are people at tables. Will not return. Would not recommend. Eaten far better for less.

    Having been a hard rock fan for years we were so disappointed with our food last night The portion was plentiful but the food I had was bland dry and lacked any of the usual hard rock taste and enjoyment and my husbands food was bbq based and tasted so vinegary which was unusual The cafe is starting to look drab and dated and the toilets were very grubby For us this will sadly be our last ever visit to this institution

    Simply fabulous prawns as a starter - you must try them. One burger (mushroom) was ‘best ever’ but one (legendary) was dry and didn’t hit the brief. We had to find our own server, which is not the normal experience here. However, our bill directed the tip to the server who was allocated rather than the actual server. Also order was incorrectly delivered, though swiftly put right.

    I think the automatic adding of a tip is a disgrace! I will not return until this practice is stopped, it really sticks in my throat, so presumptuous and put customers and staff in an uncomfortable and almost conflict situation. Service was excellent and we left a tip, but that was our choice to make, not yours I hope that you review this policy as in my opinion it is simply wrong!

    We've visited many hard rock restaurants including Edinburgh. Whilst we were happy with the quality of the food we were disappointed with the rather restricted menu. The starters and desserts were particularly limited and it looked like a menu during the height of lockdown.

    Went to HRC to celebrate Granddaughters 12th birthday and the meal/occassion was a huge success. The HRC team were attentive without being overbearing and made the birthday girl feel so important. The atmosphere,the food and the general vibe of the HRC really hit the mark to mark the celebrations. The server who took care of our table was Basia and she deserves a special mention, she led the whole place in singing happy birthday to our granddaughter. This went down very well with the table .Thank you Basia.
