Interesting new restaurant. Definitely one to watch as it evolves. Food was good, service was a little chaotic but incredibly lovely staff. We had a lovely evening. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5

We really enjoyed the tasting menu. The menu and food was innovative and generally delicious without being too experimental and there were some stand out courses. The service was also exceptional with fun and detailed explanations of the food and wine. My only constructive feedback is that the "micro" pours with the wine pairing were laughably small with only enough for 2-3 small sips which really wasn't enough to enjoy what were actually fantastic wines with the food... I really don't mind paying a little more to get a reasonable half-glass of wine! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £100+

Dear Julian,Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tasting menu and that the food, wine and service all contributed to a memorable experience!It’s particularly lovely to hear that you appreciated the explanations and the more playful side of our service. We’ll certainly share your kind words with the whole team.Thank you as well for your honest and constructive feedback regarding the wine pairing. We completely understand your point. The wines we serve are carefully selected to complement the dishes, so we want our guests to have enough time and wine to properly appreciate them. Your comment about the pours being too small is therefore very helpful, and we’ll certainly take this into consideration when reviewing the pairing experience.Thank you again for dining with us and for helping us improve. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back to Moss in the future.With sincere gratitude,Moss Team

*edit* see the bottom for the owner's response in case they delete it. Totally wild behaviour. They edited their initial response and posted a second ill-toned response before leaving their current "softer" reply. Leaving this revue because management couldn't even be bothered to reply to my email. Booked a reservation 3 months before my trip. Accidentally thought my reservation was for 9 PM. Showed up at 8:45 PM to find out that my reservation was really for 8 PM. Our table sat empty. No one else was seated. Absolutely my error. But they said they wouldn't serve us anything, even though my reservation said (when I re-read later) that it was from 8:00-10:30 PM. I understand that it's a set course meal, but I assume they don't start serving at 8 PM sharp and that we could have missed some courses, been offered dessert, wine...literally, anything. I asked the manager if we could even have a glass of wine and she said she'd have to check with the chef (and did not). Ended up suggesting another restaurant that we went to. Kitchen was closed, but their manager said they'd accommodate us for dinner, which was kind. Moss ended up charging me almost $400 Canadian for the missed dinner as per their policy. Seeing that it CLEARLY was an honest mistake and their refusal to even offer bread or a glass (or, for that price, 2 bottles) of wine to us, it seems like a gross money grab. Service industry, so try to accommodate or find a solution when an honest mistake happens. Emailed the manager about this and never heard back. Thank you so much for not accommodating nor responding to my email and for charging us for the mistake. Left us a really bad taste of Edinburgh on our final night. *owner's reply, in case it's deleted*. Sorry buddy. You ticked a box that made it explicitly clear that if you were half an hour late, you’d be turned away. We’re getting pretty sick of entitled Americans who somehow believe that the rules they agree to don’t apply to them. Thanks for the one star review, we understand the disappointment but YOU agreed to our terms and conditions and did t abide by them… and somehow it’s OUR fault? Learn to take responsibility for your actions. Service: 1

We’re sorry that you forgot the time of your booking but we have a very clear cancellation policy. It’s never fun to pay for a missed reservation but this mechanism is essential for preventing lost revenue from missed reservations and it covers the expenses that we have outlaid in anticipation of your booking. We give guests several opportunities to understand our cancellation policy when booking, nevertheless we’re sorry if this wasn’t made clear enough to you.
