The Blackbird in Edinburgh

The food was acceptable, but didn't really offer value for money. My chicken burger was a little on the dry side and it lacked enough of the pineapple dressing. Fries were bog standard frozen ones. Ordered a second drink before food arrived and didn't get it until we'd nearly finished our food. Service was very good, however.

Came here with my girlfriend a couple nights ago and had an AMAZING experience!!! Hannah was our server that evening and we couldn't help but be in awe of her kindness and how natural she felt :) The food was great and we will be coming back here very soon

We had an absolutely fabulous time! It was perfect for a girls night out. The cocktails and food were delicious and great value for money. The staff were very friendly and it had a fun atmosphere. Would definitely visit again :)

The food is not very fresh (either from the freezer or the fridge). They served me an avocado mash that was spoiled (brown, tasting like it was in the fridge for ages), so they brought a new one. It wasn't fresh either - super cold (to almost a freezing point) and also tasting like it was in the fridge, but not spoiled (at least!).The hash browns and tomatoes super greasy, it seems like the food comes straight from the freezer, the can or from days in the fridge.No vegan options for food or even tea (no vegetable milk available).Service is friendly, but I don't recommend eating there in case you are looking for tasty fresh flavours.

Had a lovely time. Cocktails and food were delicious, staff were friendly and the atmosphere was vibey. Exactly what we wanted, perfect for a girlies cocktail night. Would recommend & visit again.

Food tasty and generous servings, lively atmosphere although a bit darker and quieter in the back which suited my small group. Good customer service which was attentive but not annoying and we were left in peace to eat. A rare luxury ! Had a sneaky wee bloody mary while waiting for my friends to arrive which was deliciously spicy. I have been thinking about it ever since. Wish I'd ordered two.

Cool place, great vibe, good selection of cocktails, reasonably priced. We did not have any food, but it smelled wonderful. We will defo be back.

We arrived without a reservation to a busy restaurant but the staff managed to make room for us. We ordered a cocktail and a burger each.I ordered the the made in Japan cocktail, which had a nice citrus flavour but lacked in whisky for my taste. My girlfriend ordered a raspberry and ginger beer mocktail which had a sharp initial taste and a sweet ginger beer finish.The chicken burger was okay, a little dry and not very crispy, but the beef burger was absolutely delicious.The meal and drinks were more expensive than I'd have liked for their quality, but it was a good time and it's a lovely place worth spending an hour enjoying the food and drink.

Ernesta and Tara were just brilliant. Lovely, friendly, so welcoming and great with recommendations. My partner is GF and DF and nothing was too much trouble to tweak to make sure she was able to enjoy her food, the beef brisket burger. I had the buffalo chicken burger and both were incredible. We were both happy food dancing whilst eating… chefs kiss!Great clean venue, really nice little garden in the back, good music, the toilets are a surprisingly pleasant place to be in and cocktails were delicious. Neither of us are sickly sweet cocktail fans so it was great to see slightly more creative cocktails with different flavours. Ask for a Bloody Mary with Bourbon! Delicious, and perfect with a burger.

Absolutely lovely/very professional staff and nice atmosphere. Beautiful interior and beer garden out the back with umbrella cover and ash trays provided. Drinks weren’t really my thing and I thought they were pricey for what we got. Recommend if you enjoy more bitter cocktails rather than sweet; my friend absolutely loved the Venice Negroni.
