I have to say that the first comment was not my experience of the Roseleaf… went there for the 1st time last night and will be going back. the staff were friendly, the food was good and fairly priced. what more can you ask… old time boozer with a new twist.

Sofi’s on the other hand was just like comment two… a smile is never mustered and service with attitude… not like their sister bars at all.

have been to roseleaf a few times, really tasty food, nice atmosphere.
last time was there for a few beers late on a wed night, and was furnished with some delicious free cake.

I have to completely disagree with Kerry’s comment. I have been to Roseleaf many times. In fact it’s possibly one of my favourite pubs in Edinburgh and what makes it stand out is the friendliest of the staff. They go out their way to make you feel welcome regardless of how busy they are. On the one occasion I visited Sofi’s the staff gave the impression that customers were an imposition and they struggled to muster a smile. Perhaps the number of customers speaks for itself. After 1 drink at Sofi’s we went to Roseleaf. In Sofi’s there were around 6 customers. In Roseleaf we luckily got the last 2 seats.

I went for a drink in the Rose Leaf with some workmates last night and, have to say, I won’t be back. The staff were a bunch of rude pigs; the bar manageress was particularly obnoxious! What a contrast to the lovely staff at Sofie’s just round the corner. This is a pretentious, gold plated turd of a bar. I will be telling all of my Leither mates to avoid it like a nasty dose and will be writing a letter of complaint to the owners.
