    We were looking forward to going back to the Whiski Rooms after dining with you on a recent visit to Edinburgh for a 60th Birthday with friends, unfortunately we were disappointed at the start of the evening we were limited to starters no sharing boards some items unavailable then we couldn't order any sides as they were removed from the menu we were told they were short staffed this meant we were limited to what we could have. The experience wasn't great after booking in September to visit I would have expected a phone a call to say that we would have been limited to what we could have on the evening, also we were asked by text to confirm our booking the day before if we had been informed on this then we could have made a discussion if we wanted to attend. The food wasn't great this time you could tell things were stretched in the kitchen.

    The venue was perfect , greeted okay busy service. The man who took our drinks and food order seemed newish but was great with us. I ordered salmon, Debbie ordered chicken but we started with bread. Drinks in hand people watching nibbling at bread the Manager!!! ponytail and beard came fly round the corner seen the bread stopped and sent to sauce flying all over the floor took it back, our waiter started to clean up the manager took over ( very rudely) the couple beside us sauce on their clothes and shoes no real apology to them . He brought back our food my potatoes and veg were cold but salmon okay but Debbie said she couldn’t eat her chicken it was too cold he took it back no apology. I dined on my own and it was a good 10 minutes after I finished mine before Debbie got her new hot food which she couldn’t finish due to the experience soo far! Meanwhile the manager and the chef were having a heated discussion over the incident in full view of Debbie while she waited on her food while other guests waited for their bills drinks and other service , the General Manager… behaved like a emu with his head in the sand I did think he should have said something as our interaction with other manager was not working. On clearing the manager said something about Debbie’s food offered wine and dessert menu ! I said no I did not want anything else asking him did he think it was except-able that I ate my dinner on my our own and Debbie on her own he was up for a heated discussion it was not good I was handled badly by him he was chaotic we ended up paying just for food which I don’t mind though it was cold it was perfectly cooked.

    I had eaten here before so recommended it to my friends. On my previous visit I had the haggis tower which was very tasty. Unfortunately on this occasion the two friends who chose the haggis were disappointed. They said the haggis was bland and the sauce didn't have much flavour. Myself and another friend had the chicken dish which was delicious. One of the girls who mainly served us was very friendly and attentive. However another gave the distinct impression she didn't want to be there. Not at all friendly or welcoming.

    We booked a table and had whisky flights with delicious Cullen skink and steak pie. It was all very delicious! The ambience was warm and inviting especially given that it was cold and windy with a driving rain outside. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend!

    The fish and chips was enormous and fried to crispy perfection, the Scottish beef pot pie was tender and had a delightful, flaky crust. Our waiter was attentive and prompt. We didn’t try any whisky as is was our first jet lagged night, but it looks like a fantastic assortment, as the name suggests
