4.9 / 5.0(418 reviews)

While this was a very good concept, having the chef do the wines and cool and plate the food with one helper who just plated made the dinner experience very long and drawn out. Even though the meal was 8 courses, the dinner was over 4 hours with long wait times in between the dishes. The food itself was average to good. Some dishes had good flavour, others seemed a bit confused. Still a good experience, but still got a ways to go before it can compete with some of the other restaurants in Edinburgh I visited The Table in July for my birthday, and even though I’m only writing this now, I can still say it was absolutely perfect. This is a true chef’s table experience, and it’s fantastic to watch the chef at work, preparing each dish with such passion and care. Every course was introduced and described by him personally, which made the evening even more special. All the dishes were absolutely delicious, the cheddar and onion risotto with summer truffle and the chiken with Skordalia and Greek salad left a lasting impression.. The atmosphere was fabulous — the setting felt both intimate and engaging, allowing us to enjoy the chef’s passion up close while also sharing the experience with fellow diners. A unique and unforgettable experience — highly recommended! Our experience at The Table was truly remarkable—not just the food (incredible) or the wine pairings (Sean has excellent taste), but also the environment and the hospitality. The glowing reviews here really don't do it justice—if you have the opportunity to experience this gem of a restaurant, don't miss it.

Exceptional experience with great attention to detail. The atmosphere is cozy and refined, and the food is crafted with real care and creativity. Watching the chefs work right in front of you adds something very special to the evening. A memorable night with fantastic service and incredible flavors — absolutely worth it.

There are not enough stars... What a fabulous dining experience! I love the concept, and the execution. Sean and Keith have created something which feels unique and special - a fine dining experience which is relaxed and unpretentious, and fun! The concept: one long table which seats up to 10, in front of the kitchen, where you can watch and interact with the two chefs as they go about their business. The execution: ... And what business! Michelin star level food, all freshly prepared and dished out in front of you. It's fun - lots of fun - to watch how they efficiently and masterfully run their kitchen, dovetailing and complementing each other. They have perfected the timing of the evening - 7+ dishes over 4 hours, and it all just... Flows. Not rushed, not slow, just perfect. The food: next level. A riot of flavour, colour, and presentation. Every dish is distinctly different from the last, and the flavours... I don't have the words. Absolutely delicious from start to finish. (Note: there are no allowances for allergies / dislikes, so if you can't eat what is put in front of you this is not the restaurant for you.) I wanted to wipe every plate with my finger, it was hard letting even a sliver of the fabulous flavours return to the kitchen. I had the standard wine pairing, and it's a delight as Sean introduces you to each: the region, the grape, the vineyard, and the notes and tastes to expect. I'm not a seasoned expert, but each seemed perfectly paired with the dish it was matched to, and every wine was delicious. Excellent value for money. Sincere compliments and thanks to Sean and Keith, not just for the food but the entire experience. They are wonderful hosts, and create a real down-to-earth, relaxed atmosphere which enhances the evening. And they genuinely seem to be having fun while they do it! Embarrassing end note: I had the wine pairing, wifey did not. Yet somehow she left me to pay. No problem: take machine, enter tip, tap card. Only... Tip enters as pence, not pounds. Shambles. Sean, lovely bloke that he is, had the good grace not to react and acted like nothing had happened. Hopefully the 5 star review is small recompense - I'll make it up the next time I'm in town! Cannot recommend The Table highly enough. Everyone should try to experience it at least once. Might become an annual tradition for us!
