Söderberg Pavilion — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

Been a number of times , first time excellent, and it’s becoming increasingly poor every time , always have the pizza , first time lovely fresh and crispy , last few times soggy, limp , and with less and less topping, also , the recent change of menu ? Heard a few people asking if the menu had changed and then they opted just for coffee instead, we asked for pesto topping which you pay for , it came in a pot , why? I expect a £15 pizza to be made for me , and the red pepper pizza has a pathetic amount of pepper , barely noticeable, less then an inch of one piece of pepper on each slice , with upgrades on mozzarella and basil topping’s , it was still lacking taste , £42 for two limp pizzas and two soft drinks ? Not nearly good enough , this is a genuine and considered review and I think your regulars will notice the difference, and I hope you resolve it as it’s a lovely place , slow service I can accept , but FYI a few people complaining about time , it wasn’t that busy , and staff nonchalantly said it’s just one of these days .. Friday fringe … not a very courteous response to a table of older people, … complacent and...

Lovely venue, we went there on a Saturday evening during the festival, so it was busy but not overly so. Unfortunately they may have been understaffed but the service was incredibly slow. We waited 30 mins just for drinks and about 45 for food. I don't mind waiting if somewhere is very busy but at least get the drinks out fast and say something like, 'I'm sorry we are very busy at the moment but please bear with us'. Apart from that food was fine but yeah, the service kind of ruined it a bit, also, there was no sense of urgency in the staff, they were all very chilled and just swanning around. Our server was lovely but yeah could all do with speeding things up a bit! We weren't the only ones getting frustrated, one couple just left and many people were getting visibly frustrated, the couple beside us were also served food...

The atmosphere in the place is lovely, but I have a couple of suggestions. I ordered a draft beer which turned out to be a sour lager not quite my taste. It would be great to have a more traditional, easy-drinking lager option on tap. Honestly, I’d have preferred even a pint of Tennent’s over the sour one.

I also tried the salmon pizza out of curiosity. The combination of sourdough, cream cheese, mozzarella, salmon, and dill was certainly unique, but it felt a bit too heavy for me. I’d love to see an alternative salmon pizza on the menu perhaps with garlic butter, fresh onion, salmon, and just a touch of dill. I think that could be a lighter, fresher option that still celebrates the salmon.

Thank you for the great service and welcoming atmosphere I hope this...
