First Coast - Edinburgh

We booked this restaurant for my Mum's 65th birthday as it is local to my Sister and I we had both been before but not for a while. The food was excellent, good portion sizes, a nice variety on the menu and really tasty. The only thing that let it down was the service we received. There was only one lady front of house and maybe she was having a bad day but I don't think my family and I have ever felt less welcomed into a restaurant. We had two babies with us and I had requested a high chair prior to our arrival however there wasn't one at the table when we arrived and we had to ask for one, which seemed like a bit of an inconvenience for her to organise. We both struggled in through the door with our buggies, whilst the waitress/ manager looked on (didn't offer to help). We weren't told about the specials, offered dessert or coffee and nothing was delivered with a smile. We did leave a tip but this was for the kitchen, I do hope they receive it. It was a real shame it turned out this way as the food was lovely but I doubt any of us will be back.

We went to First Coasr for our anniversary on the recommendation of a friend. The restaurant was busy, staff friendly and the food was good. Very good value for money for city centre. First Coast is certainly worth a visit.

Great evening with lovely good and great service! We really enjoyed ourselves and would recommend the restaurant

Fantastic meal as always. First Coast is a firm favourite and a go to for any occasion. Cannot recommend more highly.

Brazilian fish stew was a talking point and a big hit! Crispy lamb starter was shared but wished I had it all to myself!
