   We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant as we were staying at the hotel, but sadly it was quite disappointing. We don’t mind paying for good food, but it just wasn’t anything special for the price. The steak (£25-34£) came with no sides at all – which, considering the portion and the cut, felt a bit ridiculous and poor value. We had to add chips (£5), which were just plain and nothing special, as well if we wanted a sauce for the steak we paid an extra 4£. We didn’t realise sides or the basic beef sauce weren’t included until we were already seated, and by then there’s not much you can do – so we ended up paying almost £40 to 45£ for a steak with chips. To be fair, we had the steak tartare as a starter and it was really tasty – that was the highlight. As well waitress seemed that she had a bad day because she looked a bit annoyed when I simply asked if the water bottles were individual or a big bottle, which didn’t make us feel very welcome. On the bright side, the rest of the staff were lovely, during the breakfast, and the hotel itself was fantastic. We’ll definitely stay again – just not for dinner next time.

   Incredible meal celebrating our wedding legalities! Jack and Lewis really looked after us the entire evening and made our meal extra special. The food was spectacular. Amazing all round!!!

   I personally had the pork starter, which was truly amazing, followed by the steak with chips and peppercorn sauce, which you could certainly taste. We did get our starter before the complimentary entre, which a staff member did apologise to us about. Slightly gutted they ran out of peroni on draft but did get to sample another beer before buying, which was nice. Would I go back again? Definitely.

   Lovely restaurant in a fantastic hotel. Our only meal here was breakfast and our full Scottish breakfast is excellent. Breakfast was also well done. In the evening the restaurant and bar are packed. This is obviously a place to go. Prices good. Attentive and professional staff.

   Had a fantastic 3 course dinner at Dakota Bar & Grill Edinburgh! To start, we had the Prawn and Calamari Tempura which was beautiful and cooked perfectly. We then had steaks for mains: I opted for the fillet and my husband chose ribeye. The fillet was absolutely outstanding! Cooked to perfection and was unbelievably tender. The red wine list to match our steaks was brilliant, and complemented the steaks perfectly. We then chose desserts to share: vanilla and honeycomb ice cream, and apple tart. Again, these were faultless and throughly enjoyed. Would highly recommend to others, and we will definitely be returning!

   A great hotel that never dissappoints! Impeccable service, spotless rooms; warm cozy low light ambience throughout which was lovely and felt premium. Plenty of parking spaces. Sign up their loyalty scheme and book directly for the best and exclusive prices. Jack at reception was very attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Queensferry village and viewpoints to the three bridges are very close by. Great amenities, fresh linen, multi USB ports by the bedside and great shower. Plenty of parking spaces available and the food was exquisite. Will certainly return!

   Enjoyed a client dinner as we were staying at the Dakota and wanted to treat our guests. I ordered the fillet which was tender and cooked perfectly, and the chicken ballotine and fish and chips looked fantastic. My colleague had never tried haggis and our maitre de overheard and brought us some small breaded haggis balls. Fantastic product and service. Also had the vegetarian breakfast and my colleague had eggs benedict the morning after. You get what you pay for mostly, and both the dinner and stay were to me good value.

   My wife and I stayed here with my daughter as a last minute getaway. We were so impressed by this hotel, right from the minute we walked in to the moment we left everything was perfect. The staff are so friendly and attentive to us it was a brilliant experience. We booked an executive room and the decor was really well finished and spacious enough for the three of us. We also used the restaurant and the food was so good. The Fillet steak was cooked to perfection and so tender. The scallops were delicious. We also stayed for breakfast and it was awesome too. All in all we are glad we chose the Dakota and would have no hesitation in booking it again for another night soon. Thank you to everyone who made our stay so welcoming.
