the golf tavern

ourfriendssuggested we meet here and this was my first visit. nice little pub in the heart of bruntsfield.

food was delicious and presented in a lovely way on wooden boards (although personally i don’t like eating a main meal off a woden board!) the bill was more than we were expected £120 for 4 - we had 4 mains, 2 starters, 2 puddings and some beer and the portions were quite small for the price.

waitress service for food and drink at our little booth was a great touch and we had excellent service.

the only thing i would say is that we wanted to chat and the place was very busy (sunday night) with students which made it quite noisy.

this is the first time i have online reviewed a place because of this terrible experience! i booked a table to watch the rugby and was told that wasn't an issue if we were going to be there for a long time. i did it over the phone and was told it was a £50 deposit for the table and if i want i can use that to pay my bar bill. whilst there the service was great and the bar staff were very friendly. my 10friendsand i probably spent over £500 over the 5 hours there. we paid separately as to avoid the complication of dividing the complicated bill later. when we decided to leave i spoke to the manager to get my deposit back. apparently it wasn't a deposit but a charge! even though we had spent over ten times the amount we had paid for the so called 'deposit' she wouldn't let us have the £50 back. she was rude and refused to let me have my 'deposit' back. when booking the table she said we would have a great view of the game but in fact half our table was turned around on a bench and the rest had to look between people's heads. the manager was rude and i nor myfriendswould ever go there again!! if you want to get somewhere to watch sport then go anywhere else!!!!!
