  What can I say? To start with, service is fantastic. Craig is lovely and amazing and you want to go back there just to see him. Food was delicious and oyster hours fantastic. Never thought I loved oysters that much. The deep fried oyster was a surprisingly delicious twist. Sharing platter works more as a starter if you are sharing between 3/4 people. Ondine is definitely worth a visit if you are in Edinburgh. On arrival we were told we couldn't sit at the bar because the didn't have a license for children. As we had a table booked for later on, they sat us at the table do we could sit with our daughter and served us the bar deal. Lovely

  We came here on a whim and had a nice time at the oyster bar. The service was very nice and the dishes came with perfect timing. Living in Alaska I've had my share of seafood but it really was enjoyable. If you have a heavy entree it is my suggestion to end with a dessert wine as they were tasty. I recommend spending some time here.

  All the dishes we ordered were good, especially seafood except the roast halibut with chicken mushroom dressing. Sounded a little odd but I gave it a try and while the fish itselft was good, the dressing did not really go with the fish. The food deserves 4 stars. I however have to choose 3 because of service quality.
  
  All staff we were in contact with were fine, neither too friendly and welcoming nor unacceptable except for one lady standing at the counter at the entrance (front of the house?) dressing in black who only came over with the bills/change. With an experience of being given back the old 5 pound note which were not accepted when we tried to pay somewhere else yesterday, when being given a Scottish fiver note, we politely asked to have the current English one instead. As we are leaving Scotland tomorrow hence the wish to avoid any unnecessary things that might happen. The lady's attitude however was condescending and impolite when explaining and giving the coins to us. We did not expect this level of service quality from a place like Ondine.

  Amazing service. Obviously it is quite pricey but great for a special occasion. The staff are really nice and you definitely are paying for quality seafood!

  Service was serious but generally good, although at times a little slow. Sitting round the bar for drinks and oysters looks lovely. We had a table by the window and enjoyed oysters, fish and chips and the cooked shellfish platter. Go for the shellfish platter, a generous portion of razor clams, scallops, lobsters, mussels, cockles, clams, crab, oyster, you name it it's on there! It was absolutely delicious and well worth the money. Aside from that there are restaurants with more atmosphere, better service and a more reasonable wine list.
