Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Colinton

This was our second time in the restaurant and did not disappoint.There’s a very relaxed atmosphere The staff are lovely and there’s no sense of rush.You are made to feel very welcome..The only thing I wasn’t so keen on was the TV screen showing football games distracted our football mad family from entering into any other conversation!This is not a criticism of the restaurant as I knew what to expect before we went.We will be back.

Had a really great first experience at Nor’ Loft last night. The lady who served us was amazing. Really extensive knowledge of the champagne on offer and helped us select something new that we’d never tried before and lived it. Will definitely book again.

Was in for lunch with 4 friends, booked for 1pm. It wasn't overly busy however we did wait awhile for our food order to be taken. When our drinks order was taken one friend sked the male server what came with the pate (I.e toast or oatcakes) was told that it was a new menu and e would go ask, somw 15 mins later we called someone another member of staff if we could order, the female server was asked what came with the pate but we got same reply, they did go and ask and advise that it was toast. One friend asked for long vodka (without the vodka) it came back with tonic and with a very small dashboard of lime cordial no bitter lime so it was rreturned. Ther server them came back to advise that there was no more lime cordial. We settled for lemonade and bitter. The food itself was lovely but the sevice was not the best on this occasion.

My friend and I ate here to celebrate her 60th birthday. Everything was wonderful. She said the souffle was like eating "cheese air" -- just lovely. My seabass was fresh and perfectly prepared. The wine was yummy; the dessert decadently delicious. The service was great -- solicitous and friendly, but not intrusive.

A family dinner to celebrate a birthday. The visit to Mia could not have gone better. Everything was great and we had a lovely time. Most of us don’t live in Edinburgh so are not able to eat here often but it is always worth the trip!
