Food excellent, although plethora of menus a little unhelpful. Limited choice fisheater - but thenwhygo. Room gets hot and stuffy if busy. Staff excellent. Worth going.

Came here whilst in Edinburgh for the weekend. Huge choice of fish and seafood on the menu and the lobster with garlic was the highlight. Also had the best chips I've had in ages. Wine list was white heavy and reasonably priced. Service was friendly and efficient.

we like to go for a late lunch to avoid the crowds and Fishers in the City accommodated us perfectly. Not too busy at that time of day - on a Saturday - although previous attempts found them fully booked. Food was excellent, service was friendly and attentive without encroaching unduly and was overall an outstanding experience for the price.

We visited Fishers on a Sunday evening, eating quite early. The restaurant was quiet, which felt a bit strange; we're used to the place being quite buzzing. But, as always, the food didn't disappoint. With so much great choice, we went for the fish and chips from the Favourites menu and starters of Chowder and fish cakes. Service was quick, polite and unobtrusive. Food arrived piping hot. The fish cakes were great, and my other half really enjoyed the bowl of Chowder. The fish and chips - we both ordered Haddock - was also excellent; the beer batter was crisp and tasty. Well worth a visit if you're in the capital.

We always enjoy coming to Fishers. Excellent service, good ambiance, great menu. They really understand fish. Sometimes we would like the food to be more heavily seasoned, but that may be us, and it is easier to add than take away.

Quality was great. Service was attentive without being too fussy. Time between courses was just right. Our waitress was so friendly & polite and knew her stuff.

Staff were excellent and the fish pie special at 10 was good value, but overall this was a disappointing experience compared with a visit to the branch at Leith some years ago. In particular there was a slightly strange smell pervading the place although none of my companions noticed it. I do have an acute sense of smell.
