The gravlax was perfect (and I am very demanding of my gravlax). The haggis bon bons were interesting and tasty and not a small plate (right for two to share, but I was eating solo). The sirloin was perfect medium rare but could have been better trimmed. Wine by the glass was good. The service was superb. A very enjoyable experience. Quite expensive but a couple could eat very well for good value. I would definitely return if visiting Edinburgh again.

What a lovely meal sharing small plates! We were able to try a variety of dishes that were the perfect size for sharing. Enjoyed delicious sea bass with mussels and gnocchi, crispy cod goujons with lemon mayo, salmon gravlax and Caesar salad. The cocktails were fantastic and the serving staff was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend if you’re in Edinburgh!

Absolutely delicious meal of haggis bon bons to start and sea trout for main, couldn't fault on flavour with anything. Main however (not as a sharer) was not substantial enough, 4 small bits of gnocchi with the fish was no where near appropriate enough for a main dish.
