steak

i heard so much about this place and now i know why. it's amazing!the location is unique and the food is outstanding. i got the mushroom as starter, and the aged orkney fillet with shrimps as main. the meat was delicious and the service fast. perfect place for an important dinner. of course is not cheap but it worth the money! great!

serving the finest quality beef, steak edinburgh assures diners that they will provide the best steak and a dining experience to bring people together. the menu certainly shows this. with many sharing cuts of meat bringing a bit of theatre to this modern restaurant. large wooden tables, beams hanging over the open planned restaurant and subtle lighting all creating an intimate trendy ambiance.

my wife and i recently visited scotland for a vacation and to celebrate our 10th anniversary.  upon arriving in edinburgh, the concierge at our hotel, the glasshouse, recommended dining at steak, which was a short walk from the hotel.  i had previously read favorable review about this restaurant, so we dined there on our second night in town.

the best place in edinburgh where you can eat meat, drink good wine and enjoy a stupendous dessert!!! the atmosphere is very elegant and the staff is very kind and, when it's possible, satisfay every your request!

went to steak on stones with pals tonight to take on the 22 quid for 3 course menu they've ran in january. starter was soup of the day (cauliflower) then sirloin with chips and choice of sauce (peppercorn) and then donut and dipping sauce to finish. there was not even a glimmer of hope to switch the soup for a 'real' starter. i always find soup a waste of a first course...the only other option was a piece of bread for 1.50. eh?! steak was good, chups good, sauce...cold. donuts were quite tough and the jam was the saviour. chocolate dipper was like burnt chocolate. cocktails weren't up to much either. service wasn't great and overall not overly impressed. would rather stay home and cook my own steak in the safe knowledge my condiments will not be cold.

6 of us had a great meal here on saturday night. we booked steak on stones because we really liked the idea of cooking the steak ourselves.
the restaurant has a good feel inside and we were seated at a comfortable and spacious table. our drinks order was taken relatively quickly and after we had received our wine, we order our main meals. there are a selection of different cuts on offer, at a variety of different prices, but most of us opted for the rump steak. i would definitely recommend the rump as it was only £12 and the flavour was great. all of the cuts come sliced and ready to be placed onto the hot stone where you can cook to your preference, with a sprinkling of salt. we also ordered chips and creamed leeks, peas and bacon. the chips were amazing - we had to order more! and the creamed leeks, peas and bacon were also delicious.
i thoroughly enjoyed our main meals as it was a lot of fun cooking our steak and it made our dinner a good social event.
the only issue we had was the service after our meal; it took a while for someone to clear our plates and ask if we wanted the dessert menu. no one ever asked if we were ok for drinks at any point throughout our meal.
we ordered the doughnuts to share and they were very tasty. they were presented very attractively with a choice of jam, custard and fudge sauce for dipping the mini doughnuts into.
our great night didn't end here. it was snowing outside so we went downstairs to the basement bar - beer and skittles, where we sat for hours sampling their fantastic cocktail menu.
i will definitely go back to both steak on stones and beer and skittles as it was a fantastic night of food and drink!

amazing night at steak. the services and food was excellent. nice chilled atmosphere to enjoy your dining. if you are visiting or living in edinburgh it's a must.

if you follow me on facebook (you can find me here) you will know that my husband and i went to steak edinburgh to celebrate his (30th) birthday last weekend. as i'm married to a carnivore i decided to book a table at steak as we had never been before and seemed right up his street. . we arrived early so we could grab a pre-dinner drink in the bar. the restaurant had a couple of options for our pre-dinner drinks, the bar within the restaurant or down stairs at their beer & skittles bar. we opted for the restaurant bar. i went for a vodka lemonade and the hubby had a beer (not very exciting drinks really). although we were pretty early we didn't have to wait long for our table and were led through shortly after getting our drinks. steak is in the old ego nightclub, which i remember going to when i was younger. although it felt familiar they have done a great job doing the place up (it wasn't the classiest nightclub back in the day). unfortunately i forgot to take my camera and was using my phone for pictures so couldn't get a good picture of the interior. once we were settled at our table it was onto the important stuff - what to eat?

steak on stones... love it. this is the second time there, this time with a itison voucher. good service, amazing cocktails and fab steak. i know some people say it's a gimmick but it's great cooking your steak to your liking.
only moan is that i wouldn't have paid full price for the donut dessert. think it's a bit expensive.

karen campbell ...amazing food. we did the steak on stone so you cook your way. great when i like burnt and karen likes raw ish. cocktails were great to and donuts to die for. been here twice now and love it. a must when in town.

there's steak and steak on stones. i've been in steak on stones last night. decor is really nice. it's gives this warm feeling with bricks on the wall and cool pictures. service it's nice and attentive however they stay away when you don't need them. food it's easy. it's steak that you cook on this hot stones. you can choose sides and sauce from the menu. also if you don't fancy steak there's fish and chips or macaroni cheese. overall it's great but i would not choose for a proper dine out or celebration. for that there's steak in the same building.

so for the first time in 2015 i find myself sat at the laptop, listening to the ramones, yes they are a band, not a clothing line (the kids really don't get it sometimes) and trying to think of a pithy introduction, but i am struggling. i should just take a leaf out of steak's book and keep it simple. i'd like to think that there wasn't an expensive pr company involved when the owners sat down and had a conversation something like

we dined here last week and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of meat we had. we dined in the steak on stones part where you cook your own steak just how you like it. there was plenty of meat and we loved the idea of the concept. the idea being you cook your own stripes of rump steak on a hot lava stone. normally i like my steak medium to well done but couldn't wait to get tucked and acutally ate it much rarer. the doughnuts are ok but not the freshest. we'd recommend going for steak and a few sides along with a cocktail. slightly more expensive than other steak houses in town but the quality of meat is fab and the staff are super friendly.

steak is a great place to go if you’re an out-and-out carnivore. quite frankly, there are are very few places where you will get better steak in the city. add that to their gorgeous sides, starters and puddings, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a meal out, my friend!

once upon a time, i didn’t like red meat (apart from mum’s steak pie) and any time steak was the only choice, it had to be well done. after being refused a well done steak in a restaurant, i agreed to suffer through a medium fillet. well that changed everything, and since then, the rarer, the better!

i was lucky enough to be invited along to steak on stones, which opened it’s doors on march 19th 2015, as the newest offering from steak edinburgh. it serves steak that you have to cook yourself on a hot lava stone at your table. you can pick from a variety of sides and sauces, and have your steak your way.

we were instantly impressed. the staff were so friendly, and directed us to the bar while we waited to be seated. the drinks menu was great, with a good selection of wine and craft beer, as well as some intriguing cocktails!

the food menu, as well as being very reasonably priced, had just enough choice. for me, there’s nothing worse than spending half an hour trying to decide what to have from a menu with a million things on it. but steak on stones is to the point, with a few other options for those not in the mood for steak. the dessert menu has a choice of freshly made filled donuts, that we’ll be sure to try next time when we’re not so full!

the steak is 28 day matured orkney beef, served in portions of 200g. we ordered 400g, 4 sides and 4 sauces to share. mr c loves his food, so there was no risk of anything going to waste at our table! they bring out the hot lava stone along with a dish of salt to sprinkle on the stone before cooking the steak. it was to die for! as i like rare steak, it didn’t take long to cook, and we had it along with chips, sweet potato mash, peas with leek and bacon, and mixed chili greens. combined with sambal, pepper, jerk mayo and wasabi hollondaise sauces, it was delicious! those peas with leek and bacon have to be one of my favourite things ever! we may have had a small falling out over the last piece of steak, but i won, so it’s fine.

the restaurant is beautiful as well. the tables are quite big, and once we saw all of the plates coming towards us, we knew why! we also wondered why we weren’t given steak knives, but after cutting into it, we found they weren’t necessary! the beef was so tender it just fell apart. the decor is modern but cosy, and the staff were attentive without being annoying!

steak on stones would be the perfect place for a first date (or a 51st date) since it’s an interactive meal and a conversation starter. you can try new things on the menu, share, try a bit of everything. i would say to be a bit braver than your standard steak and chips, you won’t be disappointed! it’s perfect for groups, because you can all get involved. it’s more than just a meal, it’s a dining experience.

we’re already making plans to return!
