Dinner and wine were phenomenal. Entrance and table service (Sommelier and food delivery) were exceptional. Waiter service was embarrassingly bad. There weren't many seated guests, and it would have been easy for 1 person to manage. With 3 servers, it should have been much better. The location is superb, and one would expect (or hope) for similar, but unfortunately, that was a letdown. The water glass was left empty, and the table stayed dirty after the guest departed for at least 20 minutes. It often seemed like other guests were in the same mindset, wondering where table service was. I would try again for the food alone and hope for better luck with waiter service.

Great food in beautiful surroundings. Autumn lunch set was wonderful. I received a complimentary chocolate honey bites with my coffee - it was a nice touch.

Our friend took us out for a leisurely lunch here. It was so tranquil, calm and elegant without feeling overly stuffy. No complaints at all. Being teetotal the Teatotal was lovely and fresh. Standouts were the Seatrout and Duck starters as was the Roe deer and the very tender Beef. I had the fish pie which was just right full of lovely seafood! Perfect for a special occasion!

This was absolutely one of my favorite stops on my trip to Scotland. The service is superior and the eye of detail is exceptional. I was here with my mother who is disabled, they escorted us to the lift and made sure it was easy for my mother to get around and was comfortable. I see the passion they have with sharing history and information about Prestonfield House, it's such a spendlor to look at all the decor and details of literally every corner of the estate. We came for afternoon tea and it was everything and more than I could have imagined. The food was top notch and the flavors were so fun to explore coming from the states. Black pepper on Scottish strawberries, chefs kiss

Great old manor. We were there yesterday, December, so it was also beautifullly decorated. We had a wonderful long lunch alone in a room. Don’t go if you like minimalistic decor, otherwise it is very enjoyable. Food is good and people are extremely nice.

This hotel has such a romantic feel it's like being taken back in time. It's surrounded by fields and is tucked away, so you don't feel like you're Edinburgh but somewhere in the countryside. We had the sharing plate of Highland Roe Venison haunch in puff pastry, warm new potato and truffle salad, tempura broccoli, creamed spinach and watercress, roasted carrots, Spring cabbage, apple jelly, sauce Grand Veneur. It was cooked to perfection which shows their Chefs are carefully selected too. Their wine selection is good. Definitely recommend this for a quiet date night.

As a group, we had a great evening at Rhubarb. Excellent service and the venue is absolutely outstanding, nice to go somewhere where you can spend your whole night and be totally taken care of. The various drawing rooms for drinks are a great addition before and after to really see how magnificent the venue is. The dining room was excellent, they even catered for one member of the group with a gluten intolerance even bringing them some GF bread when then rest of the table were served fresh bread which was a nice touch. Extremely knowledgeable staff and service was excellent throughout. The food was very good but maybe slightly overpriced compared to other venues of a similar level and the size of the portions given. Overall, a great experience.

There are a lot of great things about this restaurant and I'm not sure where to start. This is probably one of my best dining experiences in the UK. Not only the food is great but also the architecture, vibe and service of this restaurant are just outstanding. Each room has a very unique and gorgeous decor. It was good that we decided to have a glass of wine on the first floor before going to the dining room. It was right after the Easter bank holiday, so I was told by a waiter that it was a lot more relaxed on that day. We then went to a dining room and got a seat by a window. We could see beautiful nature with a lovely ox. All waiters were kind and welcoming. We had a 3 course set for £65 and we thought it literally is a bargain for having such a great experience in the peculiar place and indeed a delicious meal. We will definitely come back here soon, hopefully we would love to stay in the hotel too! ❤️

Our visit to Rhubarb was overall a great experience! The food was absolutely amazing and delivered way over expectations even with the price tag taken into account. The place itself has a special feeling of being quite formal yet with a cozy vibe to it. However it felt like they were short staffed, as there were generally long wait between the waiters came by, and they tended to leave empty glasses and bottles behind on our table even though they were clearing the table for plates. Also no ‘is the food okay’ or ‘are you missing something’ it was very much a take an order and a deliver an order mindset.
