Always a great visit to a hard rock cafe. Have been to this one mainly after wine tasting in Edinburgh so normally I would be worse for wear. This time however no alcohol as I do not drink anymore so I got to see and can remember what it looks like inside for once Like all hard rock cafes, artists memorabilia is displayed on the walls. The staff were lovely during my visit. The food was superb, I tend to only get the same no matter what hard rock I am at being the classic buffalo wings plus extra tubs of the blue cheese and sauce plus a legendary burger. Great visit and would recommend it

In one word AMAZING! After festival show we decided to eat something, we were warmly welcomed by receptionist who arranged for a table, as soon as we got to our table we've been asked about drinks. Once we made order We waited around 15 /20 minutes and were beautiful surprised that food and drinks arrived together. Portions were massive which we appreciated as we were hungry. Amazing attention to detail, Fantastic customer service, big recognition to (Angelo) I think his name was for being extremely professional! This is second time that I came back and both experiences were 10 /10 !
