amazeballs. times one thousand. Legit. Super duper good. The gold leaf on the jaffa cake was da bomb. We received a friggin reusable bag for our leftovers. How cray amazing is that?! The bathroom experience was mega decadent. It smells like fancy hand soap. We asked the waiter for a photo, and he gave us a full photo shoot. Don't even get me started on the amouse bouche. The fact that the books behind us were first edition was noted and appreciated. TWO flavours of sugar cubes--wow!!!!!

User

Well that has to be one of the best afternoon teas we have ever had. Food absolutely fantastic, service impeccable. What an amazing place to go for a special occasion.

User

We were lucky enough to have our champagne afternoon tea supported by a gift voucher. And I am very glad that I did not have lunch that day because the amount of delicacies outweighs other venues for afternoon tea in Edinburgh.

All the savouries were delightful. .. especially the wee duck bomblets... and the minute prawn salad. It took us a whole 3 hours to get through all the food and champagne and tea/coffee. All delightfully served and service was first class. .. friendly informed but not intrusive. Only 2 very minor caveats...provide hot water with China tea automatically I had to ask and tho it came relatively quickly it was an unnecessary delay to my second cup. The only other item us signage.... more indication of which door is the accessible lavatory would be helpful. But neither of those small points would stop me or my friends returning. It is a special venue with a unique ambience.

User

We enjoyed a fantastic night at the Hogmanay Ball, the venue was amazing and every little detail covered to perfection. All staff were lovely and made us all so relaxed. My youngest daughter has coeliac disease which can often be stressful when eating out but nothing was any trouble here and here dietary requirements were met with no worry at all. Thank you to everyone for such a great memorable night!

User

WOW! Afternoon tea was exquisite!! Thank you!!

User

The most attentive helpful staff changed my strawberry jam as i don't like it amazing food boxed what we couldn't eat and a great range of teas would have had a cocktail but had a trip booked so had to leave can't wait to go again worth every penny beautiful place

User

The Signet Library is a beautiful building to have a function in. The staff are excellent. I have a gluten allergy & that was catered for. The wedding I attended was very well organised by the staff & the young lady who was Master Of Ceremonies was first class.

User

The Signet Library had a peaceful, elegant ambience.

A mouthwatering extravaganza of savoury and sweet delights. Excellent choice of teas and other beverages.

Service was slick, staff very attentive, no rushing us out even after 2 1/2 hours!

Will be recommending it to friends and family.

Will definitely return in the future.

User

One word WOW!!!!! Went for afternoon tea for friends birthday, was worth every penny, can say it's one of the best afternoon tea's I have had if not thee best, the variety of yummy treats was outstanding only issue was deciding what one I liked the best. Staff were so attentive, nothing was to much trouble & always made sure we were well stock on tea & coffee. The building is stunning, absolutely beautiful, chandeliers, mirrored tables, old artwork, grand staircase & old books........will definitely be back soon, thank you for a wonderful day xx

User

Lovely afternoon tea with glass of fizz. This was a gift voucher I had as a birthday gift. I can highly recommend this venue. The staff were attentive, but not imposing. Lovely selection of food on offer to satisfy most palates.

User

Having travelled up on the Caledonian Sleeper for Valentine's Day, we were looking for something special in a beautiful city. Having read loads of reviews on so many places I went for the Signet for the location, style and reports of quality. We were not disappointed. A fantastic setting, our table amongst the bookshelves, intimate. The food was amazing. The savouries, pocket sized bombs of flavour. The sweets, everything you'd expect and more. Pink beetroot and goats cheese tartlets and heart shaped maccarons, a nod to the occasion. Enough quality teas to sink a ship and a cheeky sorbet to finish off. They even do their own gin.

But the afternoon was made by the people who looked after our every query and need. Thanks to all, but a special mention to 'Nacho'. Professional, friendly and engaging but not intrusive.

Everyone's enthusiasm for ensuring we got the most from our afternoon appeared genuine and was appreciated. Too far away for a regular return but special enough to put on the 'to do again' list.

User

Had our wedding here and it was absolutely amazing could not fault one thing. Every single guest commented on what a place it was and how amazing the food was. Can't wait to come back for afternoon tea. Thank you very much the signet team ❤xx

User

Had an amazing Christmas Afternoon Tea on Friday. Food was amazing and very well presented. Staff were very polite and nothing was a bother to them l would highly recommend a visit if your in Edinburgh.

User

Had a lovely afternoon tea. Lots of variety and tasty treats. My friend who is Coeliac was delighted to have a complete package as some venues think gluten free means remove some elements from the plate rather than give alternatives. Splendid service and a very tranquil ambience. It was all a delight . Very happy

User

Fantastic afternoon tea. Superb service from first class staff. The food was amazing and we also had cocktails which went really well with the afternoon tea. Thoroughly recommend the Signet Library as a beautiful place to wile away a few hours

User

Could not be faulted. Impressive surroundings with very attentive helpful staff. However the crowning glory was the truly amazing afternoon tea. The selection of both savoury and sweet was incredible and quality of everything was excellent. Highly recommend this experience.

User

Best afternoon tea I've ever had! Food was all fresh and relish and care had went into each item on the menu, which was seasonal. Staff were fab and very attentive. We'll be back!

User

Beautiful venue full of history,staff and service was friendly,professional and informative and food excellent x

User

Afternoon tea was a Christmas present from our daughter, one which was much appreciated. The staff were friendly and attentive, giving information and recommendations when needed. The variety of cocktails and teas available made it even more interesting. The food was delicious and dainty, so you were able to sample everything. Allergies were taken into consideration and alternatives provided, not many places cater to your needs like the Signet. All in all it was a great experience that we hope to repeat when in Edinburgh.
