Prana, bitterly disappointed and don’t get the hype for this place. Both curries we had were bland and wife’s starter was poor. Will not return and prefer Eastern Pavillion.
Napole Pizzeria, was recommended this place several times by barman in Winstons so finally tried it. Decent enough pizza, didn’t wow me and I sill prefer La Favorita
The Torfin, never had a bad meal in here, some say it’s a bit pricey for what it is but I quite like it and feel prices are reasonable enough. Half price Mexican fajitas on a Wednesday too!
Toby Carvery, not really my thing but went last night after wife and son fancied it. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed my three courses 😀
Next on my list
Cool Jade
Scouse, you heard anything about the Torfin closing in January. Was in the Toby Carvery over the weekend, and heard 2 people talking about this, no idea if it’s true?Quote:

Strangely enough there was a mention of this rumour from the barman in Winstons but not heard anything concrete. I know they’re giving up the lease on the other Ranch they have in the city and just concentrating on the new one they have just opened at Sighthill that they relocated from Corstorphine. The owners have places in Spain too but I would be surprised as the Torfin seems to do really well.Quote:

I was gonna post on this subject earlier, I've been dining at Fabio's for 20+ years as it was literally 100 years from my house. In the last 5 years there have been unsubstantiated rumours of them closing every so often, even making the pages of the EEN. Every time the rumours raise their heads, local folk on local social media kick off and the patronage increases again.Quote:

That has been mentioned, apparently difficult to get a table as a walk in just now, Pietro Crolla may be “marketing” as you say.Quote:

Fabios has been "up for sale" for years in that they'd sell if an attractive offer is made. There's still a few years on the lease so needs to be as a going concern. Dominos want the building and have approached the building owner but don't want to pay for the going concern so a bit of stalemate. Owner would sell but can't kick out Fabios so ball in Dominos court to make it worth their while which I hope doesn't come any time soon. Best pizza in town if you ask me!Quote:

I see La Favorita restaurant will not reopen in it’s former guise as a Pizzeria but as as a new restaurant Antonietta. Still owned and run by the Vittoria Group, will be interesting to see the finished restaurant, they don’t often get it wrong, new concept sounds great. La Fav delivered is still operational next door having rebranded and changed its menus.
Phillys at South Gyle closing, never been, in fact havent been up that way for years. I think the last eaterie I was in up that way was the one in the Gyle shopping joint which I think struggled for years as was opened and closed and changed hands over the period of a few years. I used to grab a couple of pints when my Wife went shopping
Remember it well (the place in the Gyle) originally opened as Acanthus then changed to City Limits, had many a pint in there when the wee fella was at birthday parties in the Gyle party venue which name alludes me.Quote:

Yeah City Limits is what I remember it being called. Always remember it was pretty basic in decor, cafeteria style but always good for a couple of pints if Wife shopping or I would jump on a bus and take the kids if Wife was working, they had a burger and I had a few beersQuote:

A new one has opened opposite the Edinburgh Park tram stop. Haven’t been yet

Maybe this is why they’re closing, I’ll get my coat😎Quote:

That was the other place at Gyle shopping centre mate, I think Phillys may have been in and around the banks and offices but not entirely sure of its location. I see there is a Brewers Fayre styled eaterie situated where the old S&N building wasQuote:
