Kyloe Restaurant & Grill

Stephanie Carr★★★★★★★★★★5.0a week ago

We had an amazing experience at Kyloe. From the moment we walked in, the service was outstanding. The staff took the time to show us the different cuts of meat and explain everything, which made the experience feel really special. The starters were delicious, and the main course was exceptional. The steak was cooked to perfection and full of flavour. The sides were equally impressive, and the desserts were the perfect finish to the meal. What made the evening even more special was that it was my birthday, and the team surprised me with a lovely birthday treat, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience even more memorable. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had — 100/10. We will definitely be back!

We were greeted nicely but our server wasn’t very welcoming, but coming from London, we were used to it. Showing the raw cuts and choosing knives were very performative and gimmicky. For mains, I had the rump (medium) and wife had the ribeye (medium well). The rump steak felt like I was trying to eat a flip flop. The ribeye was decent but my wife found it too tough for her liking. For sides, we had the blooming onion, chive and garlic mash, and brisket mac & cheese. The blooming onion looked great but was oily and bland. The mash was very dry. Mac & cheese was the only tolerable dish in our whole order. Server came to ask how everything was, but we didn’t feel comfortable or welcomed enough to tell our true feelings so we just decided to bite the bullet (or flip flop!). Overall, too expensive for what it really was. We didn’t end up finishing anything on our table and left hungry still.

Great location and decor! I did not have a reservation and they got me a table right away. I had the cheeseburger, beef Wellington, and the special dried steak. Our waiters were very kind and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend if you’re hungry for a more upscale and delicious steak meal.

From 12pm to 4pm every Saturday, Kyloe invites diners to test their appetite against the grill. For £35 per person, you’re served plate after plate of 120g ribeye steak, golden chips, and a peppercorn sauce so silky it could double as velvet. The rules are simple: finish your plate, order another. No sharing, no wasting, no cheating. Just you, your fork, and the question, how many can you manage? On average, most diners settle comfortably at two plates each, a sweet spot where satisfaction meets sensibility. Two ribeyes, two rounds of chips, two generous pours of peppercorn sauce, and you’re happily full without feeling defeated. The Unlimited Steak Frites is the headline act. But sometimes, the supporting cast steals the spotlight. For us, it was the brûléed cream of sweetcorn. We couldn’t look past it on the menu, and thank goodness we didn’t. Arriving at the table, it’s brûléed right before your eyes, the sugar crust crackling under the flame. The result? A dish that’s both sweet and savoury, creamy and caramelised, indulgent yet delicate. I’ll go on record: bar the steak frites, this was possibly one of the best things I’ve eaten all year. It’s the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite, look at your dining companion, and say, “This. This is why we eat out.” The Steak Frites is so worth it and just downright fab. A Saturday ritual worth repeating!

Kyloe is a popular and well-established steak house in Edinburgh's West End, which I visited mid-week with friends to take advantage of their January 50% off food promotion. It’s a stunning restaurant, with comfortable seating designed for relaxed dining. The USB table lights add nicely to the ambience and a nice vibe. Service was a standout throughout – attentive, polite and clearly well-trained staff who are on top of their game. Before taking our order, our waiter brought out a selection of steaks on a wooden board and talked us through the different cuts, ageing processes and the steaks included in the offer. This was genuinely helpful. I’d originally planned to order the ribeye, but seeing it in the flesh, it looked a little too fatty and difficult to justify at £45 compared with the other options. We skipped the starters and enjoyed the complimentary bread and butter before the main courses. I opted for a sirloin steak (£39) medium rare with king prawns (three for £8) in a garlic butter and hand-cut skin-on chips (£6). The steak was cooked as requested and full of flavour, although it arrived warm rather than piping hot. I’d also hoped for a couple more prawns, and my definition of “king-sized” clearly differs from Kyloe’s, though they were pleasant enough. The chips, however, were excellent – well-seasoned and properly cooked. We shared a bowl of mushrooms, which were delicious and easily the highlight among the side dishes. One issue did jar slightly. A 10% discretionary service charge was calculated on the full menu price before the 50% discount was applied. At best, this is misleading and certainly not how most diners would reasonably expect a promotional offer to work. We queried it, ignored the calculation and paid what we felt was fair, including a 10% service charge based on the discounted food price. Another surprise was the unisex toilets (cubicles only, no urinals). Some of the women in our group commented that it was obvious men had been using them, judging by the state they were left in. While no one raised a formal objection, it wasn’t especially impressive and may simply be a logistical compromise. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. At £45 all-in, including two pints (£6.70 each) and a 10% service charge, it felt like good value on the promotion. Would I pay full price? Initially, I thought yes but with hindsight, probably not. The jury’s still out on that one.
