Description
Calistoga Central is Edinburgh's second restaurant specialising in Californian cuisine, a style that should not under any circumstances be confused with American. Instead Gordon Minnis, the owner, describes it perfectly as "light, fresh and healthy". It follows closely upon the success of Calistoga Southside in St Leonard's Street
Gordon, who was formerly manager at Haldane's and Jacksons, brings his wealth of experience to bear at Calistoga with an unusual and positive attitude towards the normal high mark-ups on wines by restricting his to a mere £5 on cost, thus rendering bottles that are normally out of reach of the paying public to become accessible instead. The choice is exclusively Californian, but hey! who cares? The restaurant also has a wine lounge where you can taste wines with or without dinner by giving prior notice.
