The Living Room - Edinburgh

Average food. A place to go to if you're bored on a weekday and want to eat out with a group of friends. There's loads of other places more worth it Edinburgh though.

Wow what a night!!!!! Myself and three friends One being Lindsay O fellow Yelper) attended The 'Taste Of Chrismas Event ' last night held at The Living Room on George Street. It was simply fantastic. We arrived early before the event commenced and were given a an envelope of christmas vouchers, and 2 free raffle tickets that were to be drawn later that evening. On entering the event which was on the opposite side of the bar, we were given a glass Prosecco, whist we mulled around looking at the cupcakes, which we got some free tasters of ! After enjoying our Prosecco, we then enjoyed a cocktail masterclass behnd the bar and we made our own cocktails, and drank them after. They were tasty!! We then enjoyed glasses of wine and our partners had Cobra. They then opened a yummy yummy buffet with a selection of the food they will have forr christmas lunch/ dinner. Cute Canapes and scrumptious deserts their was penty!!! Their certainly was not a fight for food! We went at 6pm and stayed till just after 9pm the event finished at 8pm but it was so good we forgot the time! The whole evening event was great and it was all absolutley free !!!! It was a Yelpers dream!

The service, while slow at some moments (not their fault, I was there with a very large birthday dinner party), was overall excellent. Personality, helpful, etc. The food however was... eh. My favorite part was stealing some chips from my friends steak side. my starter (the scallop taster) and my main (seafood linguine) was fine, but not really enthralling. I don't mean to offend, but I've had more exciting ready meals from Waitrose. And at easily less than a third of the price. The physical space was great, the service was great, but the food left me longing.

Came here for pre-dinner drinks on Friday and noticed they had chocolate cocktails on their menu for Easter. Yum. Will definitely be back to try them again.

Ive enjoyed the Living Room a number of times with friends. Its a very easy restaurant. Ive given it a 5 out of 5 as of recently due to the amazing offers the restaurant has been giving out. The last 2-3 times we've dined here we've had 50% off for amazing food and spectacular service! Thanks Living Room Team!
