Had lunch with group of 10 work colleagues . 2 of us entered by a Rose St entrance, I entered by main hotel door from Charlotte Square after passing it twice and 2 others had to text us as they couldn 't find the entrance! So...this eatery called The Garden is actual inside a hotel called the Kimpton but this info is not published anywhere! It would be handy to know this when one is booking! Not a huge selection of meals on offer, very very basic. I paid over £12 for a 'large ' salad which was basically 4 bits of chopped up pear (brick hard) a few strands of prosciutto, couple of leaves, tiny drizzle of balsamic and a huge dollop of buffalo mozzarella cheese in the middle .

Blissful Twilight Tea, a 3 course twist on afternoon tea in an oasis of calm in the hustle and bustle of the city! We indulged in savoury treats such as toasted sandwiches with cheese, ham and relish and salmon with black pepper crowdie, hummus with crudités, mozzarella and tomato salad, haggis fritters and polenta fries. These were followed by dundee cake with ginger ganache, chocolate orange sachertorte, coffee and caramelised walnut choux bun, passion fruit and tarragon macaron. Our food was served with a smile and the setting itself is beautiful. We sat for a very relaxed couple of hours. Always a favourite venue and somewhere we look forward to visiting. Thank you again.
The interior of the Garden is lovely however the quality of the food leaves much to be desired. I had the rigatoni pasta with butternut squash it was basically boiled pasta with butternut squash added in. Was pretty bland and ordinary the butternut squash was a bit on the hard side (not cooked long enough presumably) and the pasta dry. My passion fruit gateaux was nice but don't think it's made in house.
We ate here as part of a hotel deal. The restaurant has a nice vibe to it, literally like eating in an indoor garden. The menu was great, nothing too weird to chose from. We had snacks starters, then burger fish for hubby. Nicely presented, good hot, really enjoyed the food.

Friendly service, repeatedly forgot about our table it seemed though, and the restaurant was just half full. It was a mistake to order pizzas, unfortunately they cannot be recommended. Nice atmosphere in the room.
I took my friend for a twilight tea at the Garden. It was amazing, staff were so attentive, surroundings fantastic, food to die for. Everything was perfect.
Such a disappointment. Wasn't apparent they have a chef. Would just about pass as pub grub...but paying restaurant prices. Unacceptable.
We used the garden during the day to sit and relax with a drink and had a lovely breakfast after our overnight stay, very welcoming

All three courses were delicious! It was nice to feel like we were outside on such a beautiful summer's day!
