The Salisbury Arms Review

Service for our Christmas meal here was very poor - long waiting and the staff were less than friendly. Innis and Gunn of the tap was clearly off, which I raised with bar staff and they said they will check it out but did not offer me a replacement. I also clearly stated an allergy to vinegar, in writing and confirmed verbally to get a burger with gherkin which has vinegar...

Food was above average and staff were kind but busy. The place was crazy loud !! probably because it's festive season but still. . almost impossible to have a conversation.

I don t want to be picky but the food wasn t for me ,the cheese was to much but it s a lovely place to be (just some feedback) brilliant service.

Lovely food, with good choices on fixed price menu, and excellent service.

Service is great. But what they serve is total disappointment! Just not worth the pounds.

Good food and staff extremely efficient and friendly. Would definitely come again.

The best pub / restaurant in Edinburgh. Great atmosphere, cosy seating, lovely food, what more could you want?

Very friendly staff, very accommodating. Very busy at the weekend, would recommend booking! Food was nice, was not such a fan of the thick cut double fried chips with my lovely battered fish, just made everything quite greasy so I would recommend getting the thin fries or sweet potato fries that my other guests enjoyed. Kids menu was good and suited our toddler well.

This place was a great find during my stay in Edinburgh. Ample parking first of all. The decor inside is rustic chic with a lovely ambience. Plenty of vegetarian options and a vegan menu. The food was delicious and the service was friendly. I would recomend.

Really great establishment. Very nice dinner and the staff couldn't do enough for us

Good food, but pescatarians beware: a weird number of perfectly good fish dishes are spoiled for us by the inclusion of small amounts of meat! (Maybe they'd have been happy to do fish-only variants; I didn't ask.)

We had an excellent day out in the Salisbury Arms with good food and a very friendly staff. I'd like to recommend this gastro pub to anyone.

Great Sunday lunch. Food was delicious and well presented. Good set up for covid precautions.

Best food I've had ever delicious great service reasonable price for top level grub. Bloody lovely

Outstanding service, food prep, and atmosphere. A++

Great food and nicely decorated. Staff were v friendly.

A superb Christmas Eve. Beautiful frame, good service, good product. We loved it. For a price more than adequate.

The atmosphere amazing staff very friendly always asking if we were okay.meals looked delicious and cocktails fabulous .would highly recomend to everyone fab night .

I've only been in here for a few drinks so can't comment on food but the selection of beers and wine is very good. But the best thing about this pub by far and away is the amount of comfy seating and exterior seating.

Nice atmosphere. Unfortunately the food not up to scratch, tasteless soup and fishcakes without much fish.

Had a very enjoyable time with great service and excellent food me and my girlfriend were up from Suffolk and had a great meal

Really lovely roast. Great service, atmosphere and food!

Booking table seems to be essential.
Meals have always been satisfactory.

Beautiful interior and a lovely atmosphere. The food was great and the melty chocolate bombe was very tasty.
The staff were attentive and we didn't feel hurried at all.
Dogs are welcome, wish I'd known this prior to the visit.
And although we didn't use it, the bar looks well stocked.
I will definitely go for a meal there again.

Lovely venue, but gormless bar staff happy to serve beer in chipped glasses.

Superb good beer great atmosphere. Ideal pub for anight out with friends

Nicely done, light and open spaces but more restaurant feel than pub

A nice friendly atmosphere amongst staff and customers, a dog friendly place. Very nice decor. Greatly prepared food. A spot to visit again.

Super friendly staff, food was good. My partner enjoyed her espresso martini. Good selection of drinks, airy atmosphere. Covid compliant.

Menu that week bit different
Very pleasant setting.

Didn't like the attitude of the bartender to my coloured friend. Racist..ish

A great after work spot.The pub has a lovely spacious beer garden, Aspell on tap and a mouth watering food menu - what more can you ask for?

I really do not recommend this restaurant. I ordered the pasta with king prawn and chorizo and it was NOT good. it tasted like just boiled pasta. Besides, when we arrived the staff were very rude. We told them that two more people were coming (unexpected) and the waitress got upset and start nagging us. The place was basically empty.

Much updated student pub, now a fancy and plush gastropub.

Parking for patrons (unusual in Edinburgh). Attentive service, well appointed surroundings, food was good if not gourmet and at fair prices. I had a Sunday roast which could have been slightly rarer. The trimmings were nice except the greens were a little gritty and the rectangular plate meant it couldn't be turned. However that's being picky and the vanilla cheesecake was delicious and enormous. Great experience overall and would come again.

Always a pleasure! Lovely interior, comfortable chairs and sofas, good food, easy vibe, lovely quiz nights on Tuesdays.

The furnishings, and decor are lovely. The food is a little on the pricey side, but you definitely get a quality meal for what you pay. The service is also very good, and staff are both welcoming, and friendly.

Nice place, good service and great food. Good value for money.

Nice, but not too tasteful, all in the presentation
Friendly staff from where the 3 stars in my humble opinion

Looking for warm fires in winter with a dram, or fresh crisp decor and a cool beer in summer. This gastro pub is for you.

Choose from a cosy restaurant, less formal large bright and airy bar area or beer garden. You are sure to find something to match your mood party size or the Scottish weather.

With a menu to please most palates, meals consist of well presented fresh Scottish produce Rather than something pulled from a freezer.

No need to book for lunch but recommended for dinner, the arms has ample off street parking. Good public transport links to all areas of the city, are within easy walking distance.

Fabulous riverside location great service good food

nice place
very nice facility
attentive service

Chinese Menu is very cost-effective for two meals, the atmosphere is very good, the meal is delicious!

Not much atmosphere. Decent enough but fairly bland.

Great place. A good place to sit, eat and drink after hiking Arthur's Seat. Log fires in winter!

Food decent but incredibly slow service - over an hour from ordering!

Good parking facilities. Excellent choice of beers, wines and spirits. Good choice of meals. Prices are reasonable. Excellent service.

Quiet place, ideal for going to lunch or dinner and taking your dog without problems. It also has an outside area for dining in the sun when it is there. The food is good but not excellent. The prices are not proportional to the food served ... something more on the plate would go there!

Venue is beautiful! Perfect for groups of casual dinners. Food is faultless. The fellow who seated us was very friendly. However staff serving us and at the bar were either openly rude or absent during service. And it spoilt the overall experience.

We where on vacation in Edinburgh. We went 2 evenings to this restaurant. Very kindly personal, very nice location - bar and restaurant.
We had burgers, which where ok. But starters and especially the sea bass was excellent. Somewhat expensive..

I shop at Sainsburys always got what I want in not as Dear as people make out either good shopping

Good service, a nice burger. Dessert was a little disappointing. I had the raspberry chocolate cake, which was a bit dense and bland. The cheesecake looked good.

Triple roast chicken and pork was dry, beef was ok as cut fairly thick. Roast potatoes industrial, veg basic and gravy tasteless and watery..plate too small. Overall decor was good with parking. Might go again?

Lovely food and good offers. Service was fast and helpful

My first time there.great staff very professional. Food albeit I only ordered soup was
So delicious. Will b back

Nice place for meeting with your friends, but average food in my opinion.

We became a regular at the bar, closing almost every evening with a nightcap while staying just down the road off Dalleith. The great hospitality of your staff, especially Ben, one of your bartenders made us fell so welcome and truly capped the great experience we had visiting Edinburgh. We hope to return one day.
Our many thanks and our best wishes to Ben in his endeavors.

Delicious gastro-pub grub! Very spacious venue, friendly staff, great selection of food including a separate vegan menu. I'm excited to go back already.

Service was slow and food costs are a bit on the high side

We went there several times for lunch, dinner and drinks. Not just because the pub looks cozy, but also because the staff was very nice and they serve delicious beautiful looking meals.
