Hadrian's Brasserie

We ate here on the second night of our three night stay in Edinburgh - also ate at Oloroso and North Bridge Brasserie (see reviews).

The food was a mixed success...we shared the seafood platter starter, which was quite disappointing. Smoked salmon, king prawns, squid and some white fish. These were served with 3 dips which were ok but not great. I then had partridge on shredded sprouts with chestnuts - this was a real joy, beautifully presented and a good balance of ingredients and flavours. My husband had chicken with tomatoes, black olives served on mashed potato, of this he gave a positive review. As we ate late, we passed on pudding.

The wine list was very extensive, but in relation to the reasonable food prices, the starting price was approx £26, of which there were only 1 or 2.

The service was OK, but there were several gaps when we were left waiting to make our order, pour the wine, bring the bill etc, although when they were in attendance they were attentive and polite.

Also, the tables are small and too tight together - we were very aware of our own conversation content, but also keen to keep chatting so that we weren't listening in to the tables either side.
