    Whoever come up with idea to serve sweet chilli salmon with mash potatoes has to be sacked immediately (Dish was described as roast salmon in the menu) Apple crumble cheesecake is the worst cheesecake i ever had im my life (Im 42) I was very lucky to not brake my tooth on what supose to br crumble but was pieces of cheap granola straight from the packet Whoever is in charge there should be send to culinary school and start from basics again. Im sorry but we paid 180£ for 2 kids chicken nuggets, burger and salmon joke dish , 4 deserts, and 4 pints of sprite Service was very good.

    Having booked a table well in advance , they tried to press me into having a seat in the bar instead . After hideous waits for each course , the food was the worst and most basic and awful food I have ever received in a restaurant . I asked for boiling water and fresh mint to drink : I got warm water with a slice of lemon . I cannot adequately express how worthy of a kids play-school the ‘food’ was - it was hideous . Avoid Hard Rock Cafe : its an unfunny joke . Scandalous .

    This was my first time at the restaurant. Unfortunately, my son, 26, went out the night before with his mates and was unable to come and my sister is unwell. I was on my own but the staff made me feel so cared for. They were phenomenal as I was actually shaking sitting in my own. The staff could not have been kinder. The food, wow!!!! Very very impressed and please can you share my heartfelt thanks to the staff as I was hurting that my son didn’t come but they took the pain away. They made me feel special.🐾💖

    Reserve a table for 9:30 pm. The website allows reservations until 11pm. Looking at the hard rock ig, I see that they close at 10 pm. Giving me only 30 minutes for dinner. What bothered me the most is that if I hadn't seen it, we would have had a disappointing night. No one from the place saw the reservation to warn me of this problem. And the website offers hours where the place is closed.
    Hard Rock Cafe - EdinburghResponded today
    Hi Santiago, Thank you for your review. The last bookings during the weekdays are at 10pm and that's the latest time that you can book through our website. Only our kitchen closes at this time but the cafe remains open. We are really sorry if that wasn't clear on our website. Your feedback helps us identify areas for improvement, and we will use it constructively to enhance our guest experience. Kind Regards, Hard Rock Café Edinburgh Team
