The Skyline Restaurant — Restaurant in City of Edinburgh

We went here on Fri evening as a 50th present meal from my fiancée. We had last been 4 yrs ago and had a great meal and enjoyable evening. This time however was very different, we arrived ten mins before our table time and where seated fine, we where then asked if we knew what drinks we wanted, but hadn't had a chance to looks at menu yet, waitress rolled her eyes and wandered off, she came back about 5 mins later and we had decided on the steak and wine for our meal, she disappeared and dumped our wine on the table and left. We hadn't been asked about the food, ie what steak, sides and sauces etc, 30 mins later after seeing other people in and ordering their food we where still waiting , eventually after us getting her attention again we ordered our food....a few tables who came in 15 mins after us now had their starters, we eventually got our meal after an hour and ten mins after sitting down, wine was nearly gone . The food was mediocre and the ribeye steak was very fatty . The maitradie was apologetic eventually after claiming we hadn't been in there that long as he thought the waitress had taken our order. They gave us the meal for half price for the issues but it had spoiled the evening for us...

Have been to the Skyline previously and loved it hence our return. Sadly not a great experience food wise yesterday. One of our party is coeliac so I checked the lunch time menu to find nearly all dishes contained gluten, so I called ahead and was assured that dishes could be made gluten free. On attending the restaurant we were given the same menu, so my guest asked if she could have the pasta dish with gluten free pasta. On checking with the kitchen there was no gluten free pasta. We were given the option of a burger with no bun or a pie with no pastry, or the fish could be grilled. Sadly once again having an allergy appears to mean you basically have no choice. I am disappointed that there was no adjustments to the menu, it was really a removal of items you could not have with no offer of anything to replace. My guest had the pie with no pastry, essentially the meat filling which looked and tasted poor and was not eaten. The bill was adjusted accordingly but not a...

Visted here for dinner on good Friday. We had made a booking but it wasn't busy, and we were quickly shown to our table by Andy. We both choose the beer battered fish and sticky toffee pudding. The fish came in great time and was beautifully presented, it also tasted incredible. The batter was so crispy, the chunky chips were huge and roasting hot, and the fish was so flaky. We quickly devoured every last bit. We were asked if we wanted a little break before the puddings came out , which was a nice touch. Hot sticky sponge with a hot toffee pouring sauce and vanilla ice cream. Can not fault it at all!!

Service was brilliant, andy, we believe his name was, made us laugh and was really quick at clearing the plates and bringing our drinks. He chatted a wee bit to us and offered us a seat in the bar ( comfier chairs and couches ) once we had finished our meal.

Overall a great night, and we most definitely will be...
