Cool Jade

I saw the Cool Jade as I approached the Holiday Inn and thought «why not? Hotel food is often mediocre and over priced». Well I’m glad I had that thought.
The staff are really friendly and attentive, nothing seemed too much trouble. The restaurant was busy, but everyone was served and seen to very quickly.
The food is delicious. I had New Zealand Mussels to start and they were the best mussels I’ve ever had. Cooked to perfection. My wife had the crispy duck which was delicious also.
The main courses were equally as good. I had Spicy Morning King Prawns, while my wife had Beef in Black Bean Sauce. Both were excellent, we couldn’t find fault with anything.
If we’re down in Edinburgh again we are sure to go back. I suggest you go too.

Opted to go here as we had a lovely night away in Edinburgh and wanted somewhere new. The reviews for this place sold it and it wasn’t too far from our hotel. We book with 30mins notice which wasn’t a problem and when we arrived it wasn’t that busy but was a Sunday night. The staff are friendly and a little over attentive if you can get such a thing. As I am pregnant I had to first check that the king prawns had been frozen before being cooked and the waitress looked angry/​confused why I would ask this. Even when I explained I need to know as I am pregnant and can only have them of they have been frozen first she looked as if I was trying to catch them out lol. Finally se got it and laughed about it and luckily I could have my king prawn curry which I craved :). Food was lovely, large portions and good menu. I found my starter of shredded duck with salt and chilli was bland and dry, no kick tbh and I had to dip it in some soy to get a flavor. My husband loved his salt and chilli squid and his chicken satay main. I would go back again but would opt to try new places first.
