    This was given to us a gift. We started out with items like salmon on cucumbers, etc, then a tray with three layers of sweets. It was more good than we could consume , therefore 3 days later we are still eating the sweets. Everything was delicious and worth the cost. Would highly recommend high tea here.

    Very nice food but service was poor. Felt like a burden to the restaurant. Difficult to get attention of servers and refused to let you try a different tea which seemed very ungenerous given the prices paid. Also got the tea type wrong - likely twice. Replaced the first time and didn’t have the heart to tell them next time.

    The food was delicious and there was a good selection. Service mostly excellent and friendly. Unfortunately the sandwiches had been made a while ago and were a little dry. It would have been better to have each had one of everything. There were only two of some cakes, but there were three of us. It would have been nice to have had drinks replenished quicker.

    Food was cold and presentation was poor - potentially due to a large weeding party present. We did complain and one of the main meals were discounted from our bill. Service was very good, though.

    As always at One Square, the service was exceptional. The staff manage the challenging trick of being both unobtrusive yet also always there when you need them. We really liked the selection of savouries - quiche, scotch egg, etc - which made a nice change from just sandwiches. The scones were lovely as was the selection of cakes. Endless refills of tea made for a perfect afternoon. Because you can book up till 5pm, it makes a great pre-theatre choice for the Usher Hall.

    We expected a refined afternoon tea but this is not the case at One Square. Sandwiches are like doorstops, the filled rolls are enormous and difficult to eat, the tea went cold in 5 minutes and the opera cake was like cardboard with plastic icing. The afternoon tea was served in a foyer area which was noisy and gloomy. The scones were good though! For the best afternoon tea in Edinburgh pay a little extra and go to the Balmoral Hotel. It’s what an afternoon tea should be.
