"At this place apparently the duck can only be served pink like, very very pink or well done. This was the first thing that really baffled me, and it was actually pretty funny, but I have never heard such a thing for such a fancy lookin place to not be able to cook a duck properly. It really makes no sense because surely you put duck in the oven, and after 30 minutes, it 's pink, 50 minutes, it 's well done, so why not take it out at 40??? This was the first problem. The second issue was I ordered the creme brulee, quite excited about that, but it came out at it was literally not cooked like not at all . It was a soup! My mother insisted I send it back I really hate doing that , but the point was that it was literally not cooked and was soupy, and contained raw egg, so anyway, a lovely server came by and was able to bring my creme brulee back, and I asked for just a new one. Well, amusingly, the server comes back with a solemn look on her face and says, I 'm sorry, you cannot have the creme brulee, because *all* the creme brulees are like that .... HUH?! And we were like the last table to be seated so all night they 've been serving souping uncooked creme brulees to people?? At the end, my mother kindly paid the bill, but I noticed only after that she had paid for the creme brulee that I didn 't eat omg . A server came by and asked if something was wrong because they saw us scrutinizing the bill. My mother said that it was nothing other than we accidentally paid for the creme brulee. They said they would try to refund it, but the manager came over and said it usually takes 3-5 business days after a form was filled out by us, but after the look on my mother 's face after just kind of a rollercoaster of a meal , they said they would try to expedite it. Anyway, the manager was very proud of themselves when they refunded us not only for the creme brulee but the service charge the 70p associated with it. Anyway, if you go here avoid the duck and creme brulee lol"

This was basically the worst afternoon tea I have ever had.

Service initially ok but then not good. Other than the gluten free food and the desserts, the rest of the meals were poor.

Our server, Rosemary was fantastic! The food recommendations that she gave were spot on! Awesome fish chips, and my husband had the King Prawn Linguini, he said it was great. And Rosemary recommended the Scotch Egg which was DELISH! 10/10 would recommend!

the service was in order, but after we arrived, it was busy. we came to lunch the waiter brought only drinks menu/wine list first. the food was very good, but I had the linguine the part was a little small, especially compared to my friends burger and fish

eating was good, with taking the ristotto had to be returned and the second attempt to serve, did not solve the problem. would ask the dog kindly as the ambiente was ruined by the belly dog. this should be monitored and owner remembers the behavior of dog eitquette

The food at this restaurant is delicious and reasonably priced. However, extras like water can be expensive. There is a service charge, but unfortunately the service we received was quite poor. My friend and I arrived early for our reservation and despite mentioning the same booking, we were seated at different tables in different areas of the restaurant. It took us 25 minutes to realize we were already both there. The restaurant is located in Edinburgh, but it seems like the staff struggle to understand even a slight Scottish accent.

"new kapitel has caught my attention after I was on top ten on trip advisor only months after the opening in the oktober last year. that and the fact that it is open for my early january birthday, made it the perfect place to celebrate to become a little older. I was with the man and his family. the man is quite used to my taste and good to the kind of kitchen that would appeal to me for a special occasion; his family not so much and I was filled with shame as his mother scornful went through the menu trying to find something she would enjoy. I've eaten with the family of the man, and I know they enjoy eating, so I think it's a failure of the menu that it is not accessible. the benming always blooming and garnish can appeal to some, but for others it is overcomplicated and it is necessary to find a balance between the two. we start with the starters and I go for venison sour wort pithvier. the venison was underheated and incredibly dry, to the happiness the sourded a little moisturizing and so saved the whole dish, but the aromen were quite not clear, except the garnitur of plastered mushrooms I thoroughly enjoyed. for the largest part we chose a fish dish for our main,- sea trout, smoked muddles, petersilien and coast herbs. where the starter fell, the main recording is getting back. the dish is rich and creamy, and each element adds the complexity of the taste as a whole, without disturbing. the concept is now an old one, and it would be deceptive if it had not worked, as it would essentially pay with this place. I enjoyed my meal in new chapter, although I do not agree with it is stellar status under the hierarchy of edinburgh eateries. it is top ten position is just a flash in the pan of hot popularity, and in time it will be plated in the upper half of the middle stage where it belongs. and that is where it belongs, the dishes can be plated with a michelin star in understood, and the venue and the supporting media has the clean lines and empty slate look of fine but eat the team has a long gone to go if that is their real aim. at the end, although it was a beautiful meal, and cheap (at the moment I would not be surprised to see their prices slowly rise) and the man’s mother found something they enjoyed and that is the most important."
