    Great atmosphere, limited but good menu, my wife took the roast beef with roast potatoes and veg, my mother in law took the roast chicken with skirlie and veg, I took the Cod with white beans and white wine sauce. Everyone enjoyed the meal and the staff were very attentive to my mother in law who needed some help with her mobility. Nice wine list and it is a very busy and smallish restaurant so you really need to book.

    Superior in all categories. Food was creative, mouth watering, and perfectly presented. Wait staff were highly professional and attentive. A cozy and welcoming ambience. Prices are consistent with the quality. Only wish it was not 4000 miles from my home. Thank all of you for what you do, and for being a highlight of our trip
