As non alcohol drinkers, there is often a feeling of pressure by serving staff in other restaurants which was not felt at all at Mclarens. Pleasant attitude by non pushy staff was much appreciated. Food was lovely. A ceasar salad, a philly cheesesteak, a pudding with 2 spoons and coffee. All delicious.

Went as a party of 4 (and a dog). The booth seating is a little tight for 4 people. Service was very good but the food was disappointing, particularly the desserts. Sticky Toffee pudding was overbaked and the cranachan lacked any whisky. I had the Phili cheesesteak sandwich and the beef was too tough to bite off . Others had filet steak and they said it was past well done. Won’t bother going back. The owners have better pubs and restaurants in Edinburgh such as the Fountain and Element.

Lovely lunch with 3 children who had the kids hamburgers & make your own sundae. Service was exceptional as nothing was too much trouble for our waitress, Lucy, from colouring stuff for the children to lots of ketchup!

The worst excuse of a poached egg that I’ve ever been served. The egg was minuscule- embarrassingly so. The scones were hard and dry. Terrible food Lovely service.

The booking process was easy. I arrived early but was shown to the table. Our order was taken. Water arrived followed by our drinks. The food arrived and my Fried Chicken Croll. It's was absolutely delicious. The others had the Tikka and Flatbreads and the Smashburger. The food was delicious. The service was excellent throughout. Highly recommended

Normally one of my favourite bruntsfield venues. Last night though was a disaster. The kitchen was in a mess and kept sending the wrong food at the wrong times. We eventually gave up and left hungry. The saving grace was the kindness of the manager who was incredibly understanding and kind. Hopefully next time things will be back to normal.
