** AVOID ** Do not listen to their pathetic responses to people’s negative comments. I responded 4 weeks ago and they’ve ignored me. The service was shocking. We were served the wrong steak and wrong starter. Granted the staff did take these back and bring the correct ones it’s still not the point. To top it off we asked for the bill and they charged us for the £94 white wine not the £45-50 one. (Can’t remember the exact price) I’ll be reverting back to Gaucho from now on.
5.30 Sunday 4th Jan my wife and myself got in from the bitter cold and got seated. Our order was taken which included a very expensive bottle of merlot but we were happy to pay £41 to compliment the following meal. First thing was the room temperature it was quite cold but was assured the heating was on full blast. The starter arrived, onion soup which was nice and helped to heat us up. Main course came to us on cold plates, sirloin steak which was unchewable which about half was left by the both of us, mashed potatoes and broccoli only enough for one came with the steaks served on separate plates both were chilled. Very disappointing and spoiled an overnight stay in Edinburgh
10 of us ate in their beautiful private dining room yesterday - celebrating a friends 60th. Room was great - glass walled so you felt part of the wider room, but able to chat and be heard. Some ate from the normal menu and others from the incredibly good value lunch menu. All of the food was so tasty - really excellent. Service was perfect and all round the perfect celebration lunch experience. Highly recommend
11/10 - Exceeds Expectations. Usually, even the greatest restaurants lack in one area compared to the rest; that is not the case at Badger & Co. Staff: 11/10 Food: 11/10 Drinks: 11/10 Atmosphere: 11/10 The service is exceptionally warm and inviting, and they make you feel like a local guest. We had the steak and the cod, which were both high-quality and cooked perfectly. The chefs working here clearly LOVE food and are passionate about it - it’s evident in the flavor and presentation. We had the Bonnie Badger & Badger’s Can’t Swim drinks, and both were delicious. The entire staff was friendly and attentive from the moment we arrived to the time we left. The entire restaurant perfectly captures its unique theme and warmth, without risk of turning kitsch. Prices were fair and reasonable. We came here on our first night in Edinburgh as tourists, and could not have received a better introduction and welcome to Scotland. If I were a local, I’d gladly return throughout the year.
0 Please avoid this place we had a voucher to use and the girl could not find voucher reference. She left my sister waiting for ages until we had to phone my nephew who had gifted us for Xmas treat. We were made feel as if we had free meal and people were looking at us. Humiliating . Terrible service and meal mediocre not worth the money . Prices expensive for what you get please don’t go here . It will only waste your day !
10 of us went for for dinner between colleagues. The food was very average as well as the service and the room amazingly noisy. Definitely not worth the price.
100% recommended, be like great. Service was amazing, our waitress was the Peruvian girl. Considering we are at the Royal Mille the right price
£49.50 for a 2 course brunch!!...please, coffee, eggs benedict and a tiny lemon tart..... the views are good, the service was inconsistent, food was agreeable... but we wouldn't say that it was value for money... quite noisy too.... done it, wouldn't bother again.
Representative review excerpts add operational context to the topic signals.
Booking is essential in case it rains. 12.5% service charge automatically added is significant on an already expensive menu and "Would you like it removed sir?" shows lack of tact. Exactly what is Service Charge?

Great venue but food was nothing to write home about and very overpriced for what it was. Simple bowl of not that special gnocchi for £24! Two slices of tomato with radicchio for £7. Very unimaginative vegetarian selection. But we were most disappointed by the unsmiling serving and the long wait after the mains. We felt ignored. We waited so long, in fact, we decided to go elsewhere for desert. We won’t be returning.

A frustrating experience. We visited on a busy Friday evening and had booked in advance. Our reservation was at 8.30pm to be told our table would be a while. It was 9pm before we sat down. The staff seemed overly keen to take our orders, twice we had to say could they just give us a little time to study the menu. We ordered 2 starters and poppadoms to begin. The poppadoms arrived but no starters. A half hour later, our main courses arrived, still no starters! The food was sent back and we waited another half hour! We were still eating our main meal at 11pm and it was obvious the staff wanted us out. The food was nice, not fantastic and certainly not the best Indian food we have ever eaten, the curry sauces were very ‘samey’. I would say the naan bread was delicious though. Was it good value for money, no! Was the service good, definitely some communication errors along the way, but polite non the less, was it a slick and efficient service, a definite no, it was chaotic to be honest. There seemed to be a lot of stressed waiters and waitresses! The wine, be careful, we chose the Pinot Grigio which was the most expensive White as there was little to choose from, it was like drinking grape juice and only 10% VOL, it was not a quality wine nor good value at well over £30 a bottle and no mention of proof on the wine list, which any good restaurant should highlight. Would we go back, possibly, but only if the restaurant’s owners up their game in terms of customer service and efficiency. The Ladies toilets were also filthy which was off putting to say the least! Regular checks should be put in place, to ensure guests receive a clean environment to ‘powder their noses’! Much room for improvements!
