I know that there are COVID restrictions but the Dome was ably lacking. Yes...the decorations were lovely...but really that was the extent of it. My husband and I felt like we were sitting down in a cafe where the table was adorned with a table...cloth and nothing else. Why not set the table? Have the cutlery preset, pop a Christmas flower in a vase, have a side plate and glasses for water. A cracker wouldn’t have gone a miss to add some Christmas cheer...and that would have all been COVID friendly. The food was average to poor. Ham hock had grizzly bits through it, and the turkey was well over cooked. The crime brûlée had been preprepared with no toasted topping...just cold brûlée out of the fridge. Disappointing. On the plus side our waitress was very good. We’ll be giving it a miss next year and head to The Ivy where the food is definitely better. Love the decorations though.More

Pre tier restrictions popped in to Dome for cocktails. Stunning bar and architecture awesome. Great range of cocktails. Didn’t dine here but good looks good too. Very atmospheric.

I booked a table for 2 for a birthday weeks in advance, we booked in for the grand georgian tea room as shown on the website, I was forced to pay £20 which is acceptable during the times of covid-19. The problem was, when we...turned up, we were met at the entrance to the georgian tea room we were then taken down a long corridor to the back of the building where we were seated in a less than grand back room with very little Christmas thought put into it, unlike the other room. We had one Waiter for the room, but most of the time he wasn't to be seen. At one point I almost got up to search for a member of staff to ask for some water. The only other people in this room were younger people, as though they decided that younger people would not make a fuss about being left in the back room as an afterthought. This was truly unacceptable especially when they have increased the price of afternoon tea and advertise it in the main room. If I had not been there for a birthday and not wanted to make a scene I would have happily made a scene about this and demanded a cut in price. One star for being made an afterthought. The waiter however was pleasant enough and happily changed one of the teas that was not very nice.More

Love the Dome especially at Christmas, so took my daughter and my 8 year old grandson for the first time. I expect it to be a wee bit more expensive than other restaurants ! The decorations inside and out are spectacular ! We had turkey...and my grandson had a burger from the children’s menu. Our server, a young blonde girl was just so helpful and friendly. My grandson wanted the chocolate fudge cake with cream at £5.50 but he does not like cream so I asked if he could possibly have ice cream instead. I was told I would have to pay for it, and I expected 50p or £1. I received the bill and they charged £3 for a small scoop of vanilla ice cream ! This is where The Dome lets itself down ! So a child’s sweet would work out £8.50 ??? Really ? I had a word with a manager and he took the £3 off the bill, just felt let down with this attitude.More

This is a gorgeous building! Being on a budget, my friend and I only came for a couple of drinks for happy hour. The ambience, staff, and architecture is stunning here! We did peruse the menu, but stuck to drinks. We chose to drink gin...since we were in Edinburgh, but the list of cocktails was extensive. I would highly suggest even stopping by here to take in the features of this once Bank of Scotland!More

My partner and I called last minute and were offered a booking straight away. When we arrived we were greeted and made to feel extremely comfortable. The service was phenomenal from the moment we stepped foot on the property, not to mention the architecture and...decor itself (we came luckily during Christmas) Regarding the food I could not fault. We ordered avocado on toast and hands down the best I’ve ever had! It felt like an experience rather than a dinner, not that pricey regarding what we expected! definitely would pay even more than we did just to experience it again, I will be back when i next visit Edinburgh. Thank you again!More

From the minute you park outside,it’s just stunning. Lovely greeting from staff when you go in. Old fashioned exceptional service! The fish and chips was absolutely amazing. You normally can’t get booked at this time of year, so delighted we got a table!
