- AAdrianNottingham/Nottinghamshire •2 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoFantastic food, fantastic service in a a great settting! What a lovely experience we had. Greeted at the door , by name (always a good start) and shown to our table. We chose Cullen Skink and Three Way Salmon to start followed by Haggis and Scottish Steak Pie. My fiancée had Cranachan for desert. A lovely bottle of Malbec to accompany the food. The steak pie was actually the best pie I have ever had, beef so succulent. The Talisker infused Salmon was lovely too. The presentation of all courses was very impressive. We were looked after by Lee & Stacey. Their service was second to none, just right, not intrusive, but personal, yet still very professional. I can honestly say that we would have been hard pushed to have experienced better dining in Edinburgh. I wholeheartedly recommend the Whiski Rooms, for that special meal, that I am sure you will remember for a long time. Well done to the front and back of house team.More infoWhiski RoomsPrice: Moderate• Scottish• Old Town•4.6
