The restaurant had a nice atmosphere, was clean and comfortable. Friday night, table booked for 6 30pm but and the cook had already run out of our choice meals, and the mojito. The cook (definitely not a chef) didn't inform his staff about his mistake, that he'd obviously miscalculated the food needed that night. The only hot vegetarian choices left we're chillie burgers, sausages or chickpea curry....which resembled a gravy/sauce with a few chickpeas. I opted for the disappointing haddock & chips, that practically slid off my plate along with its token salad garnish. The bar assistant and table waitresses were lovely. I felt really embarrassed for the waitress who had to keep coming back and tell me they'd run out of the meals I wanted. That night I felt really ill, so it affected my sleep. Unless this restaurant gets a chef I doubt we'll return.

Me and 5 friends had a meal on the 14th it was absolutely amazingly. We had the express menu everyones meal was pipping hot not one complaint And generous portions .

The three main courses and starter were fine. The sundae (which I had) was not very good and negative comments were made by the others regarding the crumble topping. The service could have been a little better too. I had to go up to the bar to get someone to come and take the sweet order. I have been to the Ravelston twice before and on both occasions I feel that the food and the service were better.

Came Saturday at 5.45 service very quick food fine but nothing special disappointed in frozen chips felt in was quite dear for fish and chips. Much preferred when I was here for lunch better value

Out for birthday dinner and glad I booked here to come! Live band was on in the bar area. Food was fast and delicious, and the girl with the red hair who was serving us was lovely!!

Booked table for 5.15 for a Wednesday afternoon. Arrived and not a soul in restaurant. Eventually shown to a table in dingy corner beside the bar. Crumbs on table clearly proof that table had not been cleaned beforehand, and food on floor indicated floor had not been cleaned for some time. Other folk arriving afterwards who had obviously not booked given nicer tables near window. Service slow but food good enough. Would have thought opening of Ship Inn would have raised standards.

Group is in for friends birthday. Terrible service. Staff had bad attitudes , really bad service , food average Deffo not return

Tremendous meal with my wife and child. Spring rolls and haggis fritters for starters and fish and chips and macaroni for mains. All were really well presented and huge portions. Great value for money.

We held our wedding lunch in the small room which was an ideal size for 18 guests. The food & service were excellent. We would recommend this venue for lunch or a special occasion

Lovely modern decor , service was good , only thing was the lamb Sunday roast was poor, 3 very small half pieces of meat & only a spoon of cabbage, few carrots would have been nice. Think they were short staffed, will definitely go back and try again.

Quite disappointed. Food average. Bill wrong 4 times and 3 different staff members quite rude. Ill not be back.

we Took my aunt and uncle here for a meal when we were visiting, food was great all freshly cooked, can recommend the calamari, also eaten and enjoyed was tempura prawns, haggis fritters and spring rolls. the steak and ale pie was delicious, I asked for mash instead of chips. All enjoyed the cheesecake. The restaurant was bright and airy and the staff were helpful and cheerful, would definitely recommend.

The food was lovely. Service is shocking: very slow and staff need to learn basics of giving customers cutlery! The staff however were lovely they’re just needing training

Myself and my husband had a great overnight stay at the Ravelston House Hotel . The food was lovely , service excellent with a good atmosphere. The hotel room was spotless and really comfortable. The staff were so good especially Kirsty who was friendly and very professional. Thank you Ravelston for making our night so special .

My partner and I went for a meal on Sunday, waited 40 minutes for the meal had a burger which was 3quarters cooked it tasted disgusting. Supported have salad which very poor and coleslaw which was disgusting. Loud music just about us had to ask twice for the bill so sorry we won't be going back.

Excellent food and courteous staff, been twice in the last 5 weeks and will return again

Food and service was good. Although were charged full price when it should have been main course half price on Wednesday. Did not realise until we had left.
