We had the Steak Pie, pastry let it down, didn't seem fresh.

Came here with my partner & youngest child for my birthday meal. Initial experience in the bar was fab. Lovely waitress full of banter & super welcoming. But things were then ruined when we entered the dining room. Service from the waitress there was akin to the local chippy - sour faced & definitely not what we expected. Our experience was thankfully redeemed once this waitress went out for her break once we received out main courses & service was then taken over by the a really cheerful guy who honestly couldn't have done any more for us! Especially for our wee one He was fabulous. Wish I'd have gotten his name - Tall guy with glasses. If it hadn't have been for him, we'd have left totally disappointed. But he really made my day/birthday dinner. Even going out of his way to write Happy Birthday in raspberry sauce on my dessert! Thank you!! So full credit & tip goes to him. What a guy!! The food was good, though we felt not worth over the £100 we paid. Steak was not cooked to order unfortunately, even though our Initial waitress did ask how we would like it. But it was still a nice piece of meat & our wee one scoffed her whole meal. We hope to come back sometime.

Bar staff walked out when there was a queue at the bar because his shift had ended, leaving no bar staff left on. Food was expensive for a tiny portion.

Booked the Ravelston for a colleagues birthday, menu was varied, lots of things to choose from. Food was excellent and hot. Everyone liked what they had. Would recommend.

Not the best meal we have had to be honest. Starter of pate - not enough oatcakes Main of balmoral chicken was cold so had to be sent back, my husband d was finished his by the time mine came back. Main of steak pie - frozen chips

I booked the Silks room for my husbands 70th birthday dinner in August 2023 and paid a £100 deposit for 6.30pm on 22nd December. When we arrived we were told the party before us were still in the room and that we had been switched to a table in the restaurant. I explained to the manager that was not acceptable as I booked the Silks room for a private meal for the family including 4 grandchildren. And had booked well in advance to secure the room. The manager spoke to the party concerned and said to me that they kindly said they would move through to the bar area, which was kind for the manager as this was his problem to solve not mine. I haven't received a genuine apology as yet, unfortunately this has left us totally disappointed, as we have been frequent customers for years. I would like to say that after the delay and distress the waitress staff gave exemplary service.

Ate in the restaurant for the first time and really enjoyed it. The food and wine were delicious and the staff were friendly and efficient.

Great meal, pooches allowed. Professional friendly service! Good atmosphere plenty drinks options. Will return.

Had a lovely meal here on Sat 23rd Dec. Would highly recommend. 5*

Didn’t think it was worth the amount charged. The veggies weren’t nice and the trifle wasn’t really a trifle- just jelly and cream. I had a gluten free brownie which was the best part of the meal. Felt it wasn’t a special Christmas meal. Only good part was the service as staff were really helpful. On the whole disappointing

Had Christmas lunch for 4 people. The food was lovely as were the very attentive staff. This was our third year for Christmas and thoroughly enjoyed by the 4 of us. Would highly recommend.

My colleagues and I had our Christmas lunch here the food was amazing enjoyed by all, staff friendly and attentive would recommend to friends and family

Christmas lunch for 4 people. Excellent food, excellent service, excellent value. Restaurant was not busy so not a lot of surrounding noise. Background music was christmassy but not too loud. This is the second year our group have been to Ravelston House and were not disappointed.

That's the second year we have had our Christmas meal here for Seafield bowling ladies. The meal was delicious. The staff were attentive and very friendly. A superb afternoon enjoyed by all. Thank you SBC

Had a lovely lunch experience here with my 91 year old Mum. I mention her age as the waiters were absolutely lovely and caring towards her -just the right amount- not intrusive or patronising. I had asked for a quieter table as she wears hearing aids and they had chosen well. We both had the beefsteak pie which was delicious- the vegetables were just right and the chips hot. I've eaten here a few times and the food has always been good.
