    Bucks is always a good time. The portions are more than generous and delicious. If you like a mixture of rock music the ambience is definitely for you as well.

    My family and I visited Bucksbar in Edinburgh, Hanover St, on Friday, 09 November. We had booked a table for seven two weeks in advance. Upon arrival, we were informed that we would be seated at two separate tables, which took us by surprise as we had not been informed about this arrangement beforehand. This situation visibly upset our children. Although the staff apologized, they did not attempt to rectify the mistake or offer any compensation. The staff were friendly, the atmosphere was spot on, and the food was really good. However, because we were seated at two different tables, our food arrived at different times, with other tables being served in between. At the end of the night, a staff member apologised again but suggested that we should phone and double-check our booking next time. Three of our party work in hospitality, and we found that comment completely inappropriate. It is the business's responsibility to inform customers of any issues with their bookings, especially when the mistake is on their part. We understand that Friday nights are busy, but customer service should be a priority. This issue did not ruin our night, but it has definitely changed our perspective on Bucksbar, so we will reconsider our choice for our next family night out.

    Hi Celia , I can only apologise you didn't enjoy your visit to Buck's Bar. The food and service is something we pride ourselves on here and this isn't the standards we strive for. We would be grateful if you could give our restaurant another try in the future. Thanks Team Buck's
