Ondine was on my must-visit list for my trip to Edinburgh, and I was excited to get a seat for lunch. I ordered a negroni, an oyster shooter, a fish and seafood soup, and a dressed brown crab. The oyster was exceptional, and the drink excellent, so I was excited when the soup arrived. Unfortunately, the soup did not live up to my expectations; made with shellfish shells, it had not been ground or strained sufficiently, and I spend the meal removing shell bits from my mouth. The dressed crab salad had a similar problem, if less extreme. As a West Coast American, I am open to new experiences, but this was one that seemed a little too rustic to be part of the desired experience at a high end meal. Intentional or not, it left me with a dining experience that was gritty, not gourmet.
Amazing food! Went for the oyster happy hour where oysters are 1.....THEY. WERE. AMAZING! Staff very helpful and friendly.
Sat at the bar and service was incredibly poor. Food was good but very overpriced for what you get. Toilet stalls had no paper. Just felt like something was very wrong. Left disappointed and still hungry. The manager did his best to make up for it by waiting on us himself but hes got a battle on his hands turning it around.
From arriving to leaving service could not be better. Made to feel so welcome. Food was of the highest quality and a very good wine list to choice from. Can't wait to return
Very very fresh seafood and love the oyster happy hour! We mainly had started here to start our might off and loved it. The service was great,, very attentive
