we had to change our booking from thursday night to saturday night due to illness. the staff were excellent and accommodating. we had a fantastic night once again at this fabulous hotel. the ambiance in rhubarb is just perfect. my husband had the guineafowl and even though my fish dish was excellent i did have food envy. thank youprestonfieldfor making saturday our valentine's day.

rhubarb atprestonfieldhouse possibly the fanciest place i’ve ever dined in. i went for dinner and tasted their three course meal. honestly, it’s not as what i expected. the flavour was just ok as well as the presentation.
in the otherside, the ambiance was great!

rhubarb is one of my favourite dining establishments in edinburgh; it's luxurious and opulent, but without any pretentiousness. located within the stunningprestonfieldhouse hotel, the ambiance and decor are both incredible. the circular dining rooms are adorned with victorian style drapes, rich fabrics, and antiques, and the large windows provide views of the beautiful grounds and arthur's seat in the distance. 

i've been to rhubarb twice - once for dinner and once for afternoon tea - and both were fantastic experiences.

i sampled a three course dinner in october as part of the edinburgh restaurant festival. soup, hake, and a chocolate lava cake - all three courses were beautifully presented and delicious. we finished the meal with a cheese board, which was served in one of the drawing rooms on the upper level. four scottish cheeses, quince paste, truffled honey, and oatcakes - it was divine!

champagne afternoon tea was also delightful. it may not seem like a large amount of food, but my friend and i both left full and satisfied. there's an assortment of sandwiches, two savoury items, scones with clotted cream and jam, and various cakes and sweets. standouts include the fresh scones with home-made raspberry jam, goat cheese pastry, and chocolate passionfruit macaron. the champagne was lovely as well. 

the service is top-notch, and every staff member is friendly, welcoming, and helpful. 

i can't recommend rhubarb highly enough!

i decided to book dinner at rhubarb for the edinburgh restaurant festival, for my boyfriend and i. the restaurant festival is a great chance to try fine dining restaurants at a discount price. rhubarb has an excellent reputation; james thomson has a few high class restaurants in edinburgh, because of this my expectations were very high.
i loveprestonfieldhouse, it is a beautiful building and perfect for a cold autumn/winter evening. the restaurant is filled with heavy drapes and warm, crimson colours. the service we received here was great, except we had to ask for the edinburgh restaurant festival menu, despite stating that was the menu we wanted when booking. also the menu that is published online for the edinburgh restaurant festival is different from the one we were given. luckily it was sill a great menu.
to start, i ordered the salmon, followed by the hake and finally, the chocolate dessert. i thoroughly enjoyed my entire meal, especially the chocolate desert, which was a chocolate molten lava cake. i would the best part is that i got all of this delicious food for £25. i was pleasantly surprised to find that rhubarb offer a 3 course menu for £35 out with the festival, which would definitely encourage me to go back. i would also go back for a special occasion, as it is a lovely setting with a very exclusive feel.

the rhubarb restaurant is absolutely lovely. the ambiance was perfect for a cold and snowy january. you definitely have to visitprestonfieldto truly appreciate how magical it feels when you are there. 

we came for afternoon tea and being so hungry didn't think the beautiful selection which arrived would be enough for the two of us. about half way through, we realised there was definitely more than enough. there were small sandwiches, small bites and then amazing little desserts- small macaroons, small cheesecakes, fruit and plain scones with clotted cream and jam - the list goes on! the staff were so accommodating and friendly and frequently topped up our tea and coffees. 

the only reason i haven't given 5 stars to rhubarb is because i would have liked more savoury and less sweet options for the afternoon tea -  but this is a personal choice, other people may prefer more sweet options!

prepare to be transported to a place of indulgence, located in the grand setting ofprestonfieldhouse, where rhubarb wows from start to finish. pure decadence is reflected in the rich fabrics, evocative fragrances and delightful service - a definite date night winner.

prestonfield house is a five-star boutique hotel located in theprestonfieldarea of the city of edinburgh. about a 5-10 minute taxi ride from the royal mile depending on traffic and nestled in the shadow of arthur's seat. luckily for me it is technically my local – shame! as tatler says it is 'triple a rated spoil me factor'!

it is part of the james thompson group of restaurants (owners of the fabulous witchery and the tower restaurants) and has been done up to a fine standard with themed rooms, antler furniture and velvet and chandeliers galore.

rhubarb? apparently sir alexander dick , one of prestonfields first owners was the first person to introduce rhubarb seeds to the uk after a trip to china. the plant was first planted in scotland atprestonfieldin the 18th century and still grows there today in the garden.

the a la carte menu is equally grand, with my favourite starter - scallops, cauliflower puree and iberco ham, which the husband ordered and i had the duck liver parfait with grapefruit and pistachio bread.

they always have local produce and seasonal options we were tempted by tender slow-cooked lamb, smoked with rosemary and served with crisp sweetbreads, liver royale and buttermilk potato mousseline, and also by the chateaubriand which i am sure would have been awesome. in the end we chose the venison with winter vegetables and truffle and i had the hake which was served with wild mushrooms and lentils in a creamy sauce and crispy mussels. both really were excellent.

this is a unique experience, perfect for a special occasion, but the sumptuous surroundings can also be sampled with a reasonably priced table d'hote menu for only £35. even better a fantastic 3 course sunday dinner is only £18.95 think crab salad with micro herbs, roast rib of beef and the works with a chocolate pudding and a very reasonable ventoux on the house wine list at £24 – we have this every time! afternoon tea is also a great option at just £19.95 too in the decadent dining room or lounge a glass of fizz with it is a must!

on a very snowy sunday afternoon just before christmas i went for champagne afternoon tea atprestonfieldhouse hotel with six gorgeous girlfriends. what an afternoon it was! oooh super-fabulous doesn't really cover it. arriving in full snow-gearprestonfieldwas very busy so we were in rhubarb (the restaurant) rather than the tapestry room but it was wonderful there too. cheers! when the cakes and sandwiches arrived there was much excitement. mmmmn my heart was racing at the prospect. look at the beauty of these cakes. i bet your mouth is watering. they were scrumptious, fruity and squashy and lovely and oh so good. the close-up. oh it was so good! just in case you want a little more. more eye candy the ladies toilets also require some attention. you see atprestonfieldthe ladies toilets are exactly as ladies toilets should be. that is to say, padded and pink and floral with the essential chaise longue.
