    This was our second visit, the first was in 2016. Our experience then was amazing, and this was the same. Excellent service, food was delicious and I loved the cocktail I had. Highly recommend. Will be back.

    Beautiful place and amazing food! Service was excellent. Bar seating area is not that comfortable though We tried haggis, beef tartare, pork and fillet steak. Amazing!

    My wife and I visited midweek, Wednesday. The service was prompt, polite and cheerful. The cocktails were delicious and the food was exceptional, tasty and plentiful. The ambience of the restaurant was perfect. We had a fantastic meal which we both thoroughly enjoyed.

    Probably THE best food I’ve had while in Edinburgh. Period! Food was incredible, Ausrine and our other waiter (I can’t remember his name) were so friendly! The food really speaks for itself, there wasn’t a dish that we had that we didn’t like! Incredible place, we dined there 2 nights in a row! Highly recommend - had the haggis, fennel salad, black pudding, salmon, lemon sorbet, chocolate dessert and Paloma as a drink….all incredible!!! Do not miss while in Edinburgh!

    Everything about our visit was excellent. Our food (the pan roasted salmon and cheddar soufflé) was delicious, and the service from Cecilia was wonderful!

    Lovely restaurant, nice location, staff was welcoming and pleasant, but … although the food was actually great, the portions were too small, or rather, too expensive in my opinion.

    Food was very good, especially the sole! Service was mediocre. Drinks not served together and wrong order. Also the wine glass had lipstick on it. So not cleaned properly - gross!! Also seating is very tight, felt a bit jammed in.
