10/10This restaurant is really great! Food is great and all the staff are really kind and friendly. I went with my wife and baby, and they are really helpful and smile to my baby. I am from Japan and would like to go again when I go to Edinburgh.

10/10Team goes above and beyond to make this British afternoon tea experience stand out amongst the competition. From service to ambiance to variety, everything was top-notch. It's not a surprise that the Colonnades at Signet is frequently recommended; I would gladly do the same.

10/10The tea service is served in a stately library setting. The food starts with an amuse bouche, then there is a savory course, a sweet course and a sorbet as a finish. The food is beautiful and wonderfully flavorful. The service was timely yet not intrusive. I highly recommend.

10/10The dining environment is so special and elegant. The ambience there is awesome. The food combination is experimental but at the same time so delicious. Love the little carrot cake.

10/10This was a cannot-miss kind of experience! Every bite of food (and there is SO MUCH food) was artfully presented and delicious. We loved the ambiance of the space. My husband is not a tea drinker but enjoyed the Irn Bru “tea.” I really appreciated having a gluten-free option - and most of my food was the same or very similar to the regular choices. Loved it all!

10/10This was one of our best experiences in Scotland. They did not just “accommodate” our need for gluten-free food, they offered a fully gluten-free tea service that was just as impressive as the regular menu.
