Lilith was a great host and cocktail master on our cocktail class for a hen party. We all had great fun with a group aged 20's to 60's. Good value for money. Definitely recommend.
Where do we even start… afternoon tea needs a re-think. I’ve been to several of these bars before for drinks and they have been perfect. How wrong was I to assume revolution in Edinburgh would be the same! Afternoon tea was redeemed via a voucher which was a smooth process when we booked over the phone. It then went downhill from here. Upon arrival, the place seemed clean and tidy and I was thoroughly looking forward to it. After being seated, the first signs of demise were the blue sticky marks on the cutlery and plates. After the members of staff confirmed our order, the food arrived fairly quickly. However, expecting sandwiches, scones and all things typical British, a plater consisting of 1/4 burger each, 4 cheesy jalapeños fried, and a sharing bowl (rather small) of cheesy cheap chips arrived with a small portion of the toughest chicken strips I have ever attempted to take a bite of. This was shortly followed by the arrival of the desserts - a single, cold, hard waffle with pre-melted ice cream and a small serving of berries to add to the tasteless flavour. This also included a slither of chocolate brownie (also tasteless) and what tasted like a cheesy sock but was suppose to be a cheese cake. I think the only good part was the tea which I am pretty sure was an ‘additional extra’ - ironic considering the name of the package. Guess what, even the tea pot was sticky! After nibbling away at the monstrosity, we couldn’t wait to leave. Thoroughly gutted and I feel like the experience has completely flipped my views of the brand. I hope a representative from the company reads this review and decides to try afternoon tea for themselves. I would recommend a few stomach settlers after just for good measure. To be fair to the staff, they were friendly and welcoming but I think even they knew what a poor decision we were in for. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Took more than 90 minutes for food to arrive, nearly everyone's order was wrong. Vegan items given instead of proper chicken breast. Volume of food served compaired to price charged felt like being at a 5 star restaurant, Terrible experience,
Absolutely abysmal! We went to Revolution in Leicester recently and felt the service and the food would be similar in Edinburgh, how wrong we were. We went to have some lunch, together, we were the first to arrive as pointed out by the colleague himself. We ordered drinks, I showed by voucher which the representative said would be fine and would be redeemed at the end. We then ordered food. Please tell me why, a group of ladies that arrived well after us, were served before us with their food, only then to realise our food was sat on their table, it was then brought to us after a full 5 minutes. We specified what we’d like in our wraps and both meals were wrong. We sent one back, as we didn’t want to cause a fuss. This was only due to allergies. I had the other. A free cocktail was then given to the alternative table. Why not our table? The bar tender had made a cocktail for me, due to making so much, it was given to the other table. We then waited, and waited and waited for the second meal to return. Eventually in was brought out to us. Another colleague came to ask if everything was ok as the initial server recognised he had made a few errors. I made the colleague aware of the issues and she spoke to (what seemed to be) the manager for the day. She came and acknowledged the errors and stated she would give one meal for free due to the errors and the delay in service. Upon paying for the food, we were being charged for the cocktail that I had a voucher for, to be told it was not redeemable but they would put it through anyway. I was pleased to a degree with the final results, but the service was not to a Revolution standard that I’m used to or had recently experienced. It was then pretty obvious that there was a new member to the team, which was being used as an excuse for the errors. Overall, the food was great, but the service, poor. 💫
The place is nice. We can book for a group of people for a long time. However, the chicken curry menu need more salt, and the chocolate cake is too sweet. Overall, it is a nice place to have fun.
