The Gardener's Cottage Edinburgh Reviews from The Last Year
First time,average experience but would go back to try again.
We had a pleasant meal, we weren’t too blown away, but everything was good. Would have liked more options on the menu and we were underwhelmed with sides and deserts. Limited drinks menu. Staff and service good.
Small cute cottage restaurant 😊
Amazing new year dinner experience in this wee cute place close to the center and also in the middle of the wild forest of Calton hill. Food was delicious and service was very good and staff very friendly. They forgot the first dish of the set menu and they apologized and gave our wine as a gift for the mistake. The Italian waitress was very attentive with us and very talkative. Highly recommended this place and I will definitely come back.
A dinner evening out!
All great. Food was excellent. Loved the whole experience. We got to see the chef in all their glory. Great time. Would go again with next visit to Edinburgh!
Very disappointing ,overrated lunch
We booked this restaurant as the reviews were amazing.The restaurant has lovely clean lines with basic interiors but very calming.My daughter is vegetarian/pescatarian.We didn’t realise that you need to inform the restaurant prior to arriving so my daughter ended up not having any main course as they couldn’t accommodate her ..She left the restaurant hungry The food was good but my duck was over cooked .The manager on the day was so rude ,and kept shoving me her iPad in my face to show me the rules of the restaurant .She overstepped her presence and my daughters and l felt very intimidated and left as quick as possible .The other staff were lovely and pleasant .We were there Sunday 22nd October
Wonderful food and culinary experience
A true gourmet culinary experience! We sat next to the kitchen enabling us to watch the team prepare our price fixe meal. Each stage was a work of art paired with wines from distant locations. Finished with the cheese plate - the best during our 2 weeks in Scotland.
Perfect midday lunch with unbeatable views.
Beautiful lunch respite to break up our first day of exploration. The views are stunning and the food was delightful. Light prix-fixe course and glass of wine and we were back on our way! Our service was polished, attentive and friendly. While we wore atheleisure as we were hiking around the city, the experience definitely lends itself to a bit more elevated attire but we felt quite welcomed to come as we were.
Horrible experience
My family got to the restaurant and requested we cancel our booking as we have a new train that we have to get on to go home. The host was so unfriendly and rude she said we would have to pay £150 no matter what! This kind of money is not something we waste so we had to unhappily sit down and stay despite wanting to leave as the host made us VERY uncomfortable. Upon reviewing the menu , we noticed there was no veggie options and we requested a veggie option for my sister however once again the host was so rude and would not find a solution. This resulted in my sister having to eat around the overcooked duck. Overall, bang average food, horrible staff and unfriendly atmosphere. Do not waste your time or money.
What a treat the Gardeners Cottage is!
Went for a birthday treat with my wife and what a treat it turned out to be. We had an amazing 5 course taster menu, all freshly prepared in the open kitchen , so we could watch the chefs at work. Waitresses and wine waiter were great very attentive and knowledgeable: they played a huge part in making this a wonderful evening. Will definitely be back. Thank you to the whole team.
The Gardners Cottage, A great find
I booked The Gardners Cottage for my husband's birthday. I knew it was small and intimate, with a lovely homely feel. What can I say. We were warmly greeted by Lucy who showed us to our table and said Luzia would come over and explain the menu to us. We knew it was a 5 course taster menu and were much looking forward to it. Luzia gave us a copy of the menu which looked fabulous. She also explained there was a wine pairing that accompanied the menu if we would like to choose this also. (We did). Clare, the wine waitress arrived with a complimentary glass of fizz to start our evening off. Our first course, sourdough with a honey and pecan butter was fantastic, followed by mini crab tartlets. This was followed by cod loin with pickled veg, roasted tomatoes and a beautiful sauce. (I wish, I could remember them name). The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauce was devine. This was followed by venison in a plum sauce with fresh thinly sliced plums. My goodness, this was exquisite. The venison was pink and the flavour was fantastic. There was an option to add a cheese course which of course we did. Again this was amazing 4 different cheeses with sourdough and crackers, with grapes, walnuts and chutneys. A beautiful port washed this down. Our final course was a cranachan tart. Finished with either tea or coffee. The cottage has a unique seating style with benches to seat 8 people we sat with another 3 couples. What a great night we had. Two of the diners we shared a table with was none other than Elijah Wood and Andy Serkis. I would like to say that was the highlight of our evening, but that would be wrong. Being able to see right into the kitchen and watch the chef at work making our food was amazing as was the food. The professionalism of Lucy and Luzia with regards to their knowledge of the dishes being served and their attention to us and the other diners was fantastic. Clare, who completed our fabulous meal with our wine pairing was also extremely knowledgeable about the wine she poured. A fantastic night with fantastic food and wine and great company. If you're looking for somewhere special to eat, look no further than the Gardners Cottage. I can assure you, you will not be disappointed.
I went from dreaming about going back to this restaurant
I went from dreaming about going back to this restaurant and feeling excited to bring my husband here to being so disappointed and disillusioned. I really wish we could get a refund. The price did not match the quality. My fish was dry, the "second course" was a cracker (advertised as a tart) with some fish and mayonnaise and chives, the main course was not well prepared, incredibly lacking in finesse for spending 85 pound and finally the dessert lacked any creativity or finesse as well. It was not worth what they asked for...to be honest, I wasn't sure about going there after they increased the price to 85 pound after I booked but I had to pay 20 pound per person to even book and that was not refundable otherwise I would have changed directions. The first time I came, I got 8 courses, they were unique and interesting and good portion sizes. I loved it. I'm sooooo sad this is what has become. I was hopeful it could be good but it's not. The saving Grace with the manager who was understanding and listened to our issues. I wish we had spent our evening somewhere else for MUCH less money.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
