    Accommodated our party of six very easily with an early showing to the table for us as well due to our slightly earlier arrival than booked. Food arrived at the same time for all courses and was top quality. Service excellent with attention to detail from staff at all times. Portions are a good size and their recommendation for three tapas per couple was spot on. We added one to make it ten ! The haggis bon bons with a whisky sauce are a 'must have' for starters if it's your first time. Venison Carpaccio, green tahini, hazelnut was a particular favourite as well. But all excellent as we went for the sharing all the dishes. Best way to taste it all !!

    I’m sure this would be a great venue for a meal if you can book a standard table in the main restaurant, but the high top tables are awful. Not only are they basically in the foyer of the restaurant, which is right at the door and very chilly on a cold Scottish winter’s night, but they have stools that are genuinely the most uncomfortable I’ve ever sat on! No backs, no cushion, no comfort. Food was good, staff were lovely, all of which is really important, but overall not a comfortable experience.

    We went for my 30th birthday and they had given us a beautiful table in a wee nook that was very private and warm. The service we received all night was first class, the whole team were very friendly, welcoming, and looked after us very well. The food was absolutely incredible, everything we ate was so tasty and fresh. The highlights were the bbq broccoli, sirloin steak and the chocolate pudding, although everything was superb. Can’t thank the staff enough for making the celebration amazing, would recommend anyone go for the food and we’ll definitely be back.

    Gorgeous location, steeped in history and located on the royal mile. Everything about the restaurant is excellent from the greeting, service, food, drinks and interior ambience makes this worth a visit. We will return.

    I brought my wife here as part of her 50th birthday celebration and we were not disappointed. This is actually the 4th time we’ve traveled to Edinburgh just to dine here. The staff were amazingly attentive and friendly. The food was I can only describe as perfect. The Haggis bonbons are now my most favourite thing in the world and the stakes were cooked to perfection.
