Ate here out of convience after the storehouse tour and expectations weren't high. Was blown away by the service from Duncan- he was very attentive and friendly. Food was first class all round, very nice menu and locally sourced food. Couldnt recommend enough if you want a feed after your storehouse experience. 10/10.

Absolutely incredible!! The staff were so lovely, there was a bit of a wait for the food but it was absolutely perfect. Nicest steak I have had in years and the mash was sensational!!! Will 100% be back to try more on the menu

We had an absolutely delicious meal from start to finish! To start, i had the short rib croquettes, which were a fantastic way to kick things off. For mains, we enjoyed the slow-cooked beef short rib in Guinness, served with creamy mash, and the halibut with mussels and capers and this was the best fish dish i've ever tasted. Both dishes were full of flavour and beautifully prepared, We also ordered a selection of sides: truffle fries, kimchi, champ mash, duck fat chips and roasted vegetables. Every side was delicious and complemented the mains perfectly. Ambiance was lovely and the staff looked after us extremely well and so friendly, I highly recommend this restaurant and will be going back for more delicious food. 10/10
