The Theatre Royal Bar and Restaurant in Edinburgh

Went for dinner here with a friend tonight. First off, food was EXCEPTIONAL and very quick. Fresh too. The best part for me and my friend honestly though was the staff. My friend has down syndrome, and the staff were great. One in particular who mainly waited on us, didn't catch her name but she was wearing glasses and a red short sleeves blouse. She spoke to both of us clearly and gave us a drinks menu (which was great as some people would look at my friend and make assumptions, and make the choice for him that he wouldn't be 'able' to drink!) The waitress also directly addressed my friend to take his order, and listen carefully to what he was saying (this is so important, rather than talking about a person to their 'more abled' friend - it can be so dehumanizing!) So, great job girl I'm the red blouse :) Wish I had change to tip you I'm so sorry!! Thank you

Great food, loved the burger and the Haggis. Great staff, and amazing place.

Stumbled upon this place looking for somewhere to eat. My wife chose the balmoral chicken, that she thoroughly enjoyed and couldn't fault. I had the best ever steak and ale pie I have ever had in my life. Although it was a puff pastry top, which I normally wouldn't go for, I couldn't fault the filling. I have to admit although puff pastry it was the best I have had. A big portion and the most tasty and tender pie I have had... Both of us left very happy

A massive thank you to the brilliant & lovely staff for finding my passport when I lost it after a few too many pints of their lovely Guinness and keeping it safe for me!

Nice tradional bar. Not too busy and very clean with friendly staff. We were offered a seat by the fire which was very welcome as it was a chilly day. Great food.

Decent pub in a good location (esp for the theatre... Though that's in the name). Only popped in here for a drink but it was friendly and chilled. Reasonable selections and prices. Would happily come here again.

Excellent bar great atmosphere huge choice of whiskey spirits and beers all at reasonable prices.

Great food, nice staff, good-looking place. Enjoyable lunch.

So happy with my visit here today, the service was absolutely incredible all staff members I interacted with were a credit to you guys! Helpful, attentive and just in general nice people. I unfortunately didn't catch names but if the 3 members of staff I spoke to on my visit are anything to go by I will be back! Drinks were poured promptly and the food was so good! I ordered battered haddock which I would recommend, was crispy and cooked to perfection.Looking forward to returning here in the future

Service good. Kronenbourg was ok, not too fresh. The Philly Steak Sandwich was good. The burger (Sunshine on Leith) was cooked medium, which you must not do with minced meat, as the outside bacteria on the meat becomes the inside and the bacteria is not removed by heat there. A steak can be cooked rare, as the bacteria is on the outside only.
