Mussel Inn (New Town)

• The service and staff is friendly from the selection of menu till the payment
• The photo describes the best i had here
• Mussel pots are not be ordered if you are planning a quick lunch
• So when it was suggested that we go to Mussel Inn for dinner Friday night I knew immediately what my starter would be
• The Mussel Inn is a mid sized and from the outside a somewhat unassuming restaurant tucked away on Rose Street
• Since my mind was set on starting my meal with a half dozen oysters
• Service is snappy so there was not long between order and starter
• The lemon wipe at the end of the meal is very welcome
• Mussel Inn gets busy on a Friday and is quite buzzy too
• Tables at The Mussel Inn are close together so you can listen in to your neighbour&rsquo
• They took our reservation promptly and all was ready when we got there
• I ordered the crab pasta and because there was so much chilli I couldn't taste much else and it was so hot
• I then ordered the shellfish pasta and it was absolutely delicious
• He found that the fish was a bit bland
• I was a tad disappointed when I was told I couldn't bring my food home
• All I can think about is that it's probably all going in the bin
• The place very near with Primark my fav place to shop
• The salmon was so tasty and love the ambience
• Lots of wine what a great evening with people who enjoyed sampling each others food
• Pretty obvious from the name that there is an abundance of mussels on the menu
• So I started with fresh oysters and had the pan fried scallops as my main
• The oysters was quite disappointing actually
• The pan fried scallops was quite good actually
• The best part was dipping the bread in the pesto sauce
• Our waters are home to such wonderful produce
• So I dearly hoped The Mussel Inn would provide suitable evidence to suggest visitors would leave with a positive impression of our fishy treats
• My friend and I were visiting Edinburgh and it was our first night here when we decided to try Mussel Inn upon the recommendation of our host
• It only took about 10 minutes when we were called in for indoor seating
• We didn't mind as it was a bit chilly outside
• The place is casual with lively ambience and light hues interior
• We started with haggis bonbon which one friend thought I wouldn't like
• Inside the restaurant you are always given a warm greeting upon approaching the bar
• The mussels are always well prepared and come in a variety of sauces
• Why go to the Mussel Inn if you are not going to eat mussels
• Not to be missed if you are in Edinburgh and enjoy your seafood
• I love seafood and Mussel Inn delivers with some quality seafood dishes the pots of mussels with the 5 different sauces are delicious
• I normally get the seafood pasta as a main and there is a good variety of shellfish on offer
• If you are with others and more than two people order the shellfish pasta one plate may get more shellfish than the other
• We were sat down with menus in what felt like seconds
• The chowder was plain knockout
