| I have 4 things to say about the Cellars. 1. Food is very nice, excellent portions, but despite this it's still rather over priced 2. The music is terrible, but has been getting better. As someone else says, I'm sure some of the younger bar staff have better taste. If not stick to classics in the musical canon. But James Blunt and chart house? Please. 3. They should take down the garish, sign in the window informing passers by that the Kitchen is now open. It looks terrible. 4. The beers are good - especially in terms of what I need - and the decor is beautiful and tastefully refurbed. Still something missing in the back room I think. Does the real fire work? 5. Finally, a very small point, they shouldn't have changed the name from Edinburgh Cellars to The Cellars. Asking to be called by your nickname is a bit cringeworthy. Looks like the Nobody Inn across the green is being done up. Hopefully keep them on their toes. Clarence_Beeks - 7 Nov 2011 14:11 |
| absolutely the worst food i have ever eaten, rude staff should be fired i was told by the staff before to leave a comment on here i would not unless i had cause to and the only way i would describe it, is as shit and not so nice as they reckon. If you guys need a lesson in good food at top prices is then i reckon you should go here ! http://www.theladyottoline.com/ eatoutalot1 - 31 Oct 2011 16:30 |
| i disagree with the last persons comments........ The only place i know that does not have a microwave or a walk in fridge i have spoken to the old sous chef before he left and he sounded so proud that they DO make food fresh every day, as he said they only have 1 big fridge and 3 service fridges, so before people make rash comments about the freshness of the food they should get there facts right! If you really dont like the food well you should not eat it should you? Also i see you dont comment about other peoples pubs or food so i think maybe you have a vendetta against the cellars islingtongrubmonkey, perhaps islingtongrubmonkey is a local publican trying to bring down the cellars. Well me and my group of friends are locals and regulars. We enjoy the ever changing menu's the kitchen team produces on friday night i had a excellent beef and guinness stew, while my girlfriend had the rabbit pie and we both enjoyed it very much and would recomend the new deserts i have said before that the deserts needed a bit or work but the new menu's deserts are amazing i had the treacle tart with dorset clotted cream was yummy, and my gf had the chocolate torte , and that looked fantatstic, we was really impressed and every one i have spoken to who is visiting the cellars says the same sort of things to me so i think its funny that islingtongrubmonkey slates the place but each to their own but i tell you i would love to have sunday roast with you sometime and debate the food with you. I would just like to add one further thing, my brother jamie had sunday roast on sunday with his little boy, and they said it was fantastic one had honey roast ham and my nephew had roast turkey. foodielondon - 19 Sep 2011 20:53 |
| Ive been here many times but to be honest I find the food dull now. Some of the food looks and tastes good, but generally its all so so overpriced I would rather spend the same amount of money in a good restaurant, getting better service too. Some of the language used by the bar staff is foul beyond belief. Food wise its nice, but as for the comment on everything is prepared from scratch. No - its not. Hardly anywhere does that. All good restaurants do as much preparation as possible before the shifts begin. Normally for a day or two in advance. The cellars will be no different. As for the roasts I have had better. The potatoes that other people seem to enjoy are typically not nice. Thats why, if you look at other customers plates they often have leftovers. Normally a roast potato and you only get 3 normally and the potatoes are meant to be the best bit behind the meat. The meat is normally nice. Well sourced by the taste of it. Could do with more flavour sometimes but always well cooked. Yorkshire puddings are normally too dry islingtongrubmonkey - 19 Sep 2011 09:14 |
