Underwhelming experience if I’m honest. The food was okay, nothing special. My partner had the salmon and mentioned it wasn’t anything to stand out against other restaurants. The fries were fresh and well made, best part of the meal for some reason, every single table had a complementary bread starter irrespective of what they ordered and ours didn’t. Calamari was good but paired with sauce that just didn’t fit.
As usual, what irritates me is when restaurants chuck in an assumed tip and whilst mentioning its discretionary on the bill don’t even ask if we would like to tip. Tips are earned for exemplary service and not matter of fact additions as a give in.Poor ethic and needs changing.

Impeccable dishes. Can’t fault the food at this restaurant. Everything I ordered was delicious and made using fresh ingredients. The specials of the day were great.
First time in Edinburgh... so many restaurants in the area. Walked by this place and decided to try it... and it was very good. Tried Haggis for the first time and it was delicious... also had the chowder and finished up the meal with a cheese plate.
This is such a nice place. The ambiance is very nice, beautiful classic interior. The staff is very friendly with a great sense of humour. Do make reservations. Food is very very tasty, soup is wonderful, very nice local beer, reasonably prices 3 course lunch at 21£ but the most delicious was the sticky toffee pudding. Highly recommended.
Was lucky to book on the same day for the second seating at 2:30pm however we were 10min late due to traffic from old town. The staff was able to accommodate us despite the kitchen closing close to 3pm. Make sure to be on time or call when you’ll be late for the booking.
The food was great! Very tasty! We ordered the rib eye with frites with the bleu cheese sauce, the cod fish with mashed potatoes, calamari, banoffee pie, and the strawberries with vanilla ice cream. The fries was incredibly crispy, the steak was perfectly cooked. Our server, Sue, was very gracious. She provided all the details of the food choices, and was very attentive to our needs. Will go back to Howie’s on my next trip to Edinburgh.

We had more people than we had booked for in our party and were very quickly accommodated. Beautiful food. Not the hottest, but we were a large group. Very busy and, therefore, noisy, had to shout to be heard across the table. Perfect fast service, however, and very reasonably priced, taking the current climate into consideration. Would definitely go here again.
Absolutely fantastic! Been there for lunch best option to take the 2 or 3 courses. Food was really tasty. Service was fantastic, Lisa our hostes was top notch! Beyond friendly, and always ahead of our needs, checking constantly if everything was alright. The rest of the staff also were very very friendly and happy! The overall was a fine dinning type of experience for a portion of the price! It was a highlight of my trip.
