Suggestions for 70th Birthday Dinner in Edinburgh

Seafood is the favorite, but not a total necessity. For this one, food and ambiance are more important than cost.
Many thanks.

Hmmm, we did mostly take aways there. I am interested to see what ideas others post.

Happy BIrthday!

For a special meal I'd choose Kitchin. Michelin starred, lovely room, excellent seafood (and everything else)

It might be old fashioned (as in very) but I think the ambience at the Cafe Royal's Oyster Bar is hard to beat. Find a quiet table and imagine you're in the restaurant scene from Chariots of Fire.

I liked The Kitchin too. Michelin starred but very casual ambience. Great complimentary bits and bobs like squid ink crispbreads and sourdough, stools just for your handbag, and lovely cocktails.
