The Edinburgh Hotel - Mitcham, South Australia

Attended a birthday in a private room, I ordered the lamb ragu gnocchi and it was absolutely delicious! It was however right on the verge of being too spicy, but it was certainly still edible. Those within my group who ordered the same thing or tried the dish agreed with both points. The whole group seemed the enjoy their food too, we shared some lovely wines, were well looked after by lovely staff and had our requests accommodated for even when slightly unfamiliar drinks were ordered - showed good attention to details by double checking and clarifying the details. TV in the room too to watch the footy! The only minor criticisms were the fact that there wasn’t anyone tending the bar for a bit when I was trying to order and the mirror in the room was very dirty… very minor. Overall it was a lovely night.

The waitress unfortunately dropped a meal (accidents happen). The pavilion went silent with a few oooo's ringing out.

Good food and atmosphere though.

We had my husband’s memorial at the Ed last Wednesday. 70 people. Food was excellent. Venue was great and the staff were very pleasant. Wonderful send off for my Jim. And then the family had dinner in the bistro after. Meals were great too. Thanks guys so much

Cosy and comfortable, no horrendous loud music to interrupt your conversation. Perfect atmosphere in all areas with lovely service. Didn't rate the food as we didn't have any. Only there for drinks.
Update: Girls night, food, drinks, laughter, atmosphere!!! Fantastic evening 😀

The food has made a huge improvement! Not so basic, a lot more variety! The fried chicken sliders were delicious, the chips perfectly salted & cooked well. Staff are friendly and attentive. Our table was always cleared in a timely manner. Bottle shop staff are very friendly and helpful! My only discomfort was the volume of the live music Friday evening. We had a nice table under the marquee, but the music was so loud we had to move near the cold entrance.
I feel that music should be more a background vibe, not so loud I cant talk without yelling. It can still be an enjoyable vibe with the music volume at reasonable level.

Three of us dined for lunch at the Edinburgh Hotel on the 12th of September. One of us had the kangaroo and myself and another friend had the chicken schnitzel. To be honest we were disappointed with the chicken schnitzel. No longer is the hotel appearing to make their own but buying in ready made portion controlled schnitzel that appears just to be cooked on a grill rather than deep fried. The inevitable little salad was ok but edible as was the chips. A bit disappointing that the hotel is choosing to cheapen down one of the meals that is probably ordered 60% of the time. I think we would rather prefer a pub that makes its own schnitzels rather than buying in portion controlled pre-crumbed ones. You can easily tell from the images that these schnitzels are not cooked in the conventional way and are a bit too neat and well crumbed to be done in house. Very disappointing. Shared entrees of garlic bread and dips & warmed naan bread were fine. If we go back anytime soon, we definitely won't be ordering the schnitzels. We prefer something a bit more rustic rather than made in a factory.

Our recent Friday evening visit was a delightful culinary adventure.

**Ambiance:**
The restaurant section of the Edinburgh Hotel boasted a charming ambiance with well-thought-out table arrangements and lovely floral decorations. Although the place was packed, the atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, making it a pleasant spot to unwind after a long week.

**Service:**
Despite the bustling crowd, the staff were attentive and efficient. We were pleasantly surprised by the prompt service, even on such a busy night. The friendliness and professionalism of the staff added to the overall positive experience.

**Food:**
The highlight of our meal was undoubtedly the wagyu rump (300g). Cooked to perfection, it was one of the best steaks I've had in a long time, bursting with flavor and tenderness. The poached pear was equally impressive, adding a sweet and refreshing note to the evening. While it was disappointing that many of the desserts were unavailable, it was understandable given the high demand.

**Value:**
Although the food was a bit on the pricier side, it was well worth it for the quality and service we received. The restaurant's popularity and the packed house are a testament to its excellence.

**Noise Level:**
The only downside was the noise level inside the restaurant, which was quite high. However, this is a minor drawback considering the fantastic food and service.

**Overall:**
Our dinner at the Edinburgh Hotel was a memorable experience. With its great ambiance, excellent food, and top-notch service, it's a place we'd highly recommend. Just be sure to book a table in advance, as it gets very busy, especially on weekends.

Great service - we had a table of 12 & all food arrived together & freshly prepared. Nice atmosphere & professional staff. Good wine list but could do with more wines by the glass. Overall, well done.
