The Grain Store Edinburgh Reviews from The Last Year
One of the very best in the world.
I write this review, only to pay tribute to what I believe was the best restaurant in Edinburgh, and my favourite dinner spot anywhere in the world (and I've been everywhere, man). To Paul, master of ceremonies, master of bonhomie and all-round great guy, Carlo, a chef with such a fine grasp of flavours, he could have worked / run any Michelin restaurant I have dined in, and also to the superb floor staff; Lucy, Sonya et al, for whom nothing was too much trouble. The food was always superb, the atmosphere, for lunch and dinner always warm, friendly, and laughter-filled (the smiles ALWAYS reached their eyes). Myself and my wife fondly recall stumbling, for the first time, across the good ship Grain Store for lunch, only to be so very impressed that we booked in for dinner that same night. And there, our beautiful friendship continued on, as time and again, we returned each time we were back in the fair city of Edinburgh; on one occasion, they were fully-booked, but dragged a table out from behind a storage curtain to squeeze us in, and on another, when our train was cancelled by a bit of weather, forcing an extra night's stay - we were again squeezed in for dinner by Paul. The food was superb, the wine list better (they always had a decent drop of port), and I pray and aid that Paul and Carlo return somewhere, somehow. Until then, RIP The Grain Store. We were glad to know ya.
Great food, lovely ambience
We had an amazing evening at the Grain Store. The food was very good. We recommend the rib-eye, cod and panna cotta; delicious. The ambience is lovely. Thanks Bart and Sonya!
Just.amazing.
Amazing restaurant. Great food, fantastis wines and the staff makes you feel at home. The place to be when you are in Edinburgh.
5* COOKING!
WOW. What can I say! 5* exceptional cooking. Oysters were beautiful and Vension to die for. Staff were warm and inviting. The chefs were wonderful also. HEARTBROKEN this is closing. 10/10 meal.
80th Birthday Celebration
We had a fantastic 80th Birthday celebration in the private room at the Grainstore. Paul organised it all in a highly professional and also relaxed manner making the experience memorable for everyone. The food was excellent - small but perfectly formed menu with tasty interesting and well presented combinations. Staff attentive and friendly. Definitely a restaurant worth visiting if you are in Edinburgh
The literal best meal I've ever eaten!
Holy moly, that was the single best dinner my husband and I have ever eaten! For the appetizer, my husband ordered the oysters, and I ordered the cured salmon. Both were delicious. For our main dish, he ordered the venison burger, and I ordered the cod. Everything was impeccably seasoned, perfectly cooked, and beautifully presented, Carlo, the chef, is a master, and Paul, our charming host was...well, absolutely charming ;). I do not have the words to describe how much we loved this dinner, but I can say that we talk about it at great regularity. Even if I didn't think Edinburgh was a fabulous travel destinations (which I do), I seriously intend to trek back to Edinburgh from the US just to eat here again. Book it.
Expensive
The restaurant space was not very cozy even though it was in an old building. The service is not very professional. The food is a bit elaborate, small portions but not very impressive. Expensive place, not worth the price.
Dining in heaven!!
Perfection…..restaurants of this quality are exceptionally rare! The Grain Store is very simply the best dining experience I’ve ever had…..I’m very critical of supposedly excellent restaurants, but this is a genuine 5* experience. The host (Paul) is the best and most welcoming host you will ever find, and he and his team offer completely faultless service…..just impeccable! The food is obscenely good, and the atmosphere and ambience will lift your soul…..there cannot be a more romantic or relaxing restaurant in Edinburgh! Book well in advance, and if you’re lucky enough to get a table here, you’ll remember it for the rest of your life. As you can probably tell, I quite liked this place. Thank you Grain Store…..PERFECTION!!
Just wonderful
I visited the Grain Store with my sister, brother and sister-in-law for a meal that was long planned but ended up with last minute changes and a lot of stress, nothing to do with the Grain Store but it was a dinner very much looked forward to. But after all the ups and downs of the year, once we were seated all our worries were gone. The reception by Paul and his team was fabulous and the food was excellent. All delicious, and when it came to dessert, we couldn't decide and ordered one of each for us all to try. Best decision of the night, each dessert was genuinely perfect including the best panna cotta I've ever had. We had a wonderful night and Grain Store will be first on my list the next time I'm in Edinburgh. Just wonderful.
Delicious and Inviting
I can not say enough about The Grain Store. Paul, our host/owner, was warm and welcoming. Carlo, our owner/chef, did not disappoint: delicious food from starters to mains to dessert. Lucy and Sonya, our servers/bartenders were spot on every time. Highly recommend The Grain Store. Will definitely be back next time in Edinburg.

Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Money gone
I made two buy listings earlier this morning and then discarded both of them as no longer needed. My refund now disappeared in my account, and I can no longer transfer them back into my bank account. I’ve also made another buy order, and now the system is telling me “Bad Balance Combination”. Called my bank to stop all transaction going to this Pheonix Labs and reported as scam

Idk if this is related to the unsold listing % rule but I have listed 6 reservations and sold 5 of them and my unsold listing percentage is ~45%. For some reason the unsold listings have not been converted into sold ones. Does this happen only after the payment is released following the booking or is it an issue that needs to be addressed?

Give the best answerHonest review of AT and advice to new joiners
Forget trying to snipe reservations online by waking up early and booking top restaurants at Carbone or Tatiana or Cote or 4Charles. After 2.5 months of booking reservations by setting up alarms, waking up early to sell appointments. It’s very hard to cash out on this app. During cash out, you have to pay $5 fee +3% transactions fee and max payout per day is $150.
Advice to new users:
- do not mass book reservations
- fill bids only
- don’t try to book reservations online, you need connections and call the restaurant
After putting in about 40 hours of work, I’ve made about $750 sale on this platform but gotten paid $0. Take this with a grain of salt.

Hello All,
I don’t know what else to do as I can’t transfer my cleared funds to my bank account. Customer support is close to non existing and not helpful. How can we keep selling here if we can’t withdraw what we have worked for. They say I have to wait 180 days. This is ridiculous!

Give the best answerPayout limits? Have 1k…
Am confused about the payout restrictions. Have nearly $1k sitting, wanted to withdraw some and am surprised to see I can only withdraw $50. If i have to do this everyday I’ll end up paying over $90 in fees just for withdrawing via ACH which doesn’t make much sense to me. Have opened a ticket regarding this, but any input or advice would be appreciated

Give the best answerAny seller support?
Has anyone found a way to get a question answered? From what I can tell there is no way to get in touch with anyone that works at/for AT. Other than the occasional admin posting a consultation offer here and there they are non existent. A lot of people have the same issue I have where we cannot cash out earnings. I cannot get my warning medal removed even though I am under the threshold. Sad to say but seems like AT is holding up everyone’s funds currently. Very scary and makes me wonder….Please reply if you read this admins and can help. Tried every way possible to get in touch
Give the best answerWhat happens if someone changes or shows up for their reservation after I buy it?

I accepted a bid for a popular restaurant in Los Angeles only to receive a phone call shortly thereafter informing me that the reservation had been canceled due to it being listed on AT. I of course need to subsequently cancel the reservation on AT but get this warning that my status will be negatively affected for doing so. I've reached out to customer support about this several times with no response, not sure what to do in this station. Hoping someone can advise.
