Really enjoyed our evening meal at the Queen's. It was our first visit and we'll definitely return. Delicious food, great beer, vast range of whiskies, friendly efficient service and a real buzz about the place. Only minor quibble was that the chips were too crispy hard for someone with sensitive gums.

We have been to Edinburgh on several occasions but tried to avoid eating at restaurants on the Royal Mile as they are perceived as too touristic. So we were very pleasantly surprised when we tried Angels with Bagpipes as the food was excellent and staff very friendly.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, we were greeted by a lovely young lady who showed us to our table. We were immediately offered water, and informed of the soup of the day, and the catch of the day. Another young lady then took our drinks order, which was delivered swiftly. The rosè was excellent! The food was fantastic and again, we didn't have too long to wait. The staff were in constant attendance and always so helpful. A lovely night and not too expensive. We will definitely come back again.

My friend and I ate here to celebrate her 60th birthday. Everything was wonderful. She said the souffle was like eating "cheese air" -- just lovely. My seabass was fresh and perfectly prepared. The wine was yummy; the dessert decadently delicious. The service was great -- solicitous and friendly, but not intrusive.
