One Square in Edinburgh

Both the buffet and a'la carte breakfast dishes were alrighty, not spectacular, but perfectly adequate; what wasn't great is the the waiting staff - regardless of whether this was an early visit on a weekday whilst only two or three tables were occupied by patrons, or when the place was buzzing with guests over the weekend - you could count on them remaining uninterested and plain incompetent.

Had the gin experience for two with my sister two days ago and had an amazing time! Amaury was an excellent host - would definitely recommend for any gin lovers.

Unexpectedly a great place for a cocktail! Nice variety of beverages. Really pleasant and accommodating servers. Fun space.

Easily the best place in Edinburgh for drinking - mainly because of the staff! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!I was speaking to Mike (the bar manager) about possibly doing a distillery tour etc and he was kind enough to take me through some whiskys and explain which drinks would naturally follow on from the previous! It was fantastic and he has turned me on to an excellent bottle that I'm really enjoying right now (Glen Scotia).Then came the real magic! The next night I came back to the bar with my wife and some friends and Mike made us a genuinely INCREBILE Rum based old fashioned drinks! My wife doesn't even like old fashoineds but she loved it. He made a selection of 4 different flavours. Highly highly recommend that you speak to him and let him know which flavours you like and no doubt he will concoct a beautiful drink for you.5* experience - genuinely made my time in Edinburgh!

We only went as our booking elsewhere was cancelled and nowhere else had availability. The restaurant isn't yet open so maybe it will better food wise when it is. Best to avoid the tepid calarmari. The decor is bright and modern and kept clean

GREAT DESSERTS AND SERVICECame here two nights in a row in the evening at around 8pm. There's quite a relaxed vibe in this place as we just walked in and were casually able to take a seat.The waiter was a really nice guy and was quick with taking our order and serving food.Not sure if they change up the menu, but the desserts we got were really good. We got the apple tart which was nice. It had a great balance of flavours as the sweetness was balanced with the taste of the apple.Then we got the chocolate pistachio pot dessert which was pretty good. This one definitely needs to be shared because there is so much sugary goodness in this dish from the ice cream, to the cream, to the chocolate within the pot. The pistachios were a nice touch as they gave the dish some crunch.For desserts from a hotel restaurant on the weekday, they were pretty good.

A few items that we wanted on the menu was not available such as t bone, and banana split for dessert.Starters to main were cooked and tasted almost perfect. Drinks are good. Desserts were not impressive.

Excellent restaurant. The food is lovely and staff very friendly. You can even enjoy a fantastic of the Castle. Best spot before/after a session at the spa 👌🏻

One of the best tasting experiences I've had! We learned all about how the botanicals that go into making each type if gin and how quinine is necessary to "wake up" the gin. You are not going in for shots of gin. This is an education on how to make gin drinks that are amazing! And at the end, you get to bottle and wax seal your very own bottle of gin! I HIGHLY recommend One Square!

If you visit Edinburgh, for whatever reason (we visited for the 2017 Tattoo and Fringe), then this has to be one of the places you should consider popping into for a meal. Friendly staff, pleasant environment, excellent food and a good choice of drinks. I'm sure we will revisit some time in the not too distant future.
