last night in Edinburgh
We loved our visit to Howie's waterloo place. Our server was sensational! We had soup to start - Cullen Skink, and the Sweet potato soup which was a special that night. So great. unusual, but great. The Pan Seared Salmon and the special casserole (a beef potato item) were our entrees. both were very good, and we know salmon, we are from oregon. We can wine with our meal which was also very nice and not particularly pricey!. We went for the early dinner which meant two courses for 21 pounds, plus our wine of course. Really lovely last night in Edinburgh!

Wine & Dine Treat
Visited this restaurant on a busy Thursday evening. The food and service were exceptional up through starters and main course. I was part of a group of 4 friends who were taking advantage of the restaurant’s BYOB policy and we had a thoroughly good evening. Unfortunately, the evening was marred by a dreadful sticky toffee pudding at the end of the meal. The sauce was lovely but the sponge was dry and chewy. This is the only reason why I didn’t award 5 stars. Based on the rest of the meal, I would definitely return in the hope that I would end on a more positive note.

Great food, great service - would definitely return!
I organised a dinner here for 12 people travelling from New Zealand - they all thoroughly enjoyed their meal, all said how good the food was. Atmosphere was great, really buzzy, and they were chuffed to be served by our lovely waitress who was half Kiwix/half Scot!

Spoilt for choice! A great value experience with a wide choice, good food and service
Howie's never fails to impress. Four of us enjoyed the early dining offer at Howie's, Waterloo place. The early dining offer is not a limited choice table d'hote menu but the normal menu which as a wide choice. There is also a separate gluten free menu. All three courses and coffee were served quickly and attractively presented. The food was tasty. On the specials board were casseroles which we all chose. These were delcious. The early dining offer from Sunday to Thursday also allows BYOB with £6 corkage. It is wonderful to find a restaurant which allows you to bring your own choice of wine or fizz and also keeps the costs down. Despite the restaurant being busy, nothing was too much trouble. We had an excellent server. Rhys was polite, attentive, articulate and professional with a very nice manner. The total bill was very reasonable. The upshot of all this is twofold. It encourages future visits and recommendations to friends and to visitors to the city,
