Also, i got to meet the most amazing and humble down-to-earth influencer Bartosz during my visit there!
Booked for a corporate event of 10 last minute. Great location and interior, and excellent initial booking with a wonderful member of staff.
We were initially let down due to a short-staffing issue that led to a long wait getting seated and our order getting muddled up. This was recognised and turned around by an experienced female team member who saw the issue with our table, took control and got things back on track quickly. 63rd+1st, you need to recognise this individual, things were going south but she totally redeemed it.
Everyone enjoyed the food and drinks!
Beautiful interior, friendly staff and tasty food. I had the small prawn pil pil, a small beef Asian salad and ginger beer. Definitely coming to try other dishes.
Great food and atmosphere. Only giving 2 stars on the service because, while it was excellent service and they were attentive, etc, they did try to swindle us. We had a voucher from itison, and at first, they said it had been used, then that it was only half of the bill. We produced the voucher again and the receipt. The server took a pic of the code again, and miraculously, it was all ok. 🤔
Fine dining right here. All dishes we tried were cooked to perfection and very well balanced: sirloin perfectly done, sweet juicy scallops, a wonderful noodle-beef salad and surprisingly, loaded fries - just the right amount of sauce and fried onion on top, with fine strips of chilly. The staff is friendly and helpful, not sure what hapened when some of the negative reviews were given. Generally, a smart place for dinner or cocktails, a couple levels up from the nearby eateries. Loved it! Totally fair prices by the way. The Affogato just wraped it all up

I recently went along to try their Autumn menu but along side this they have launched their Christmas Cocktails 🎅and their Festive Experience.
For £35 per person, you'll get a three-course festive menu. Start with a selection of small plates for all to share including Prosciutto with Spiced Fig Chutney, Lobster 🦞 + Shrimp 🦐 Bon Bon and Jammy Chicken 🍗 Lollipops.
Then choose a main dish each; enjoy the show-stopping Vermouth Poached Turkey, 63rd+1st Blade of Beef or Oven Roasted Salmon and a selection of festive sides for the whole table including Pigs ‘n’ Blankets, Roast Potatoes and Maple Glazed Parsnips.
Finish with something sweet from our delectable festive desserts including Molten Lava Chocolate Tart and 63rd+1st Winter Trifle.
But if you aren't up for the three festive courses, try their Festive Pick + Mix Menu. Choose a small plate, main or dessert and pair it with one of their festive cocktails.
We went along to sample and here's what we tucked into.

It's a really nice creative Festive menu and we love how they have switched it up and reinvented some great tasty Christmas dishes.
Me and my friend went for some drinks on Saturday afternoon and we decided to have some food as well. Cocktails were absolutely amazing, I had the lemon and basil martini and my friend had the Sicilian spritz. The burgers we had were very tasty and the ice cream scones in the end were literally the icing on the cake. Staff was very attentive and helpful. We'll definitely be back.
Had a few cocktails with family to celebrate a birthday. Had been a bit concerned when I heard it was owned by TGI Fridays but have to say it was a great experience. Nice decor and a lovely space. Service was really good, and the cocktails were great. Also priced really well in comparison to some other city centre places.
Outstanding service here last night for a birthday celebration. The staff were absolutely top drawer,polite courteous and attentive-well done you guys. Our compliments to the chef and kitchen staff also as the food was fresh and delicious. Loved the vibe in this eatery and would highly recommend it 👌
Attended a networking lunch here and it was my 1st time in the restaurant. Food was delish, service was impeccable and the busy event creates a festive cheer to start December off!
Would highlight recommend.

Food was amazing! Staff is really helpful and friendly!
And the place has just an incredibly nice vibe
Used the £49 Itison voucher deal here on a Sunday evening. 2 courses with a very nice bottle of Merlot to go with the meal as well. One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in Edinburgh. Would definitely recommend, the decor inside is also great.
My friend & I had a delicious Sunday lunch here today to celebrate my birthday. Cannot fault a thing. Callum really made the experience exceptional though with his wonderful, friendly manner. He's a real credit to 63rd + 1st!
First time at 63rd and it was amazing. Had the chicken lollipops as a starter then the burger for main. Well out together. Lovely space bright and airy. Drinks menu is amazing as well
