Duck & Waffle in Edinburgh is highly regarded for its unique culinary offerings and exceptional service. Reviewers consistently praise the signature Duck & Waffle dish, noting the perfectly crispy duck skin and flavorful waffles, though some mention the duck can be slightly gamey. The menu is diverse, with highlights including lobster rolls, corn ribs, and the 'Snitch' dessert, all presented with care. Service is a standout feature, with many guests naming specific staff members who provided warm and welcoming hospitality. The atmosphere is described as 'ritzy' and beautiful, suitable for both casual brunches and special celebrations like graduations. While most dishes receive high marks, a few guests found certain seafood options like the cod to be less impressive.
