    We popped in for a drink the day before and loved everything about this place so then decided to book in for a date night as well as our final night in Edinburgh. You guys didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing from start to finish, the cocktails also amazing and not to forget the service, everyone that we met was welcoming and couldn’t do enough to make sure that we had an amazing time. Thank you for being the icing on the cake after our first time in Edinburgh

    Ate early,6pm,very quiet, nearly empty which means no atmosphere. 1 drink unsuitable, did not taste as in description,food good but again lack of clarity in dish description. Overall review, staff worked very hard as short staffed in dining room. Food and drink and ambience fair to good.

    Our meal was pretty poor . We had haddock and chips plus mushy peas . There really wasn’t much fish under the batter, the chips were abundant but dry and the mushy peas were a mushy paste . Table service was good and the ambience ok .

    Disappointed that the fish tacos were not on the menu tonight and I was looking forward to trying them. Also a glass of wine was brought to the table which had ‘bits’ in it - either dirty glass or the dregs of the wine. Was rectified once brought to the staff’s attention. Also our bill had two starters on it when we had ordered one. Again rectified once brought to their attention. Overall we had a good experience but small details were lacking for an early supper out.

    Smart interior, but the 'atmosphere' lighting in the evening is too dim. Its a dark venue to start off with, so ended up eating in virtual darkness. Then the lights flickered for a protacted period of time which was annoying. Food was okay - chicken burger was a bit overdone. nothing special if I'm honest. Coffee machine was turned off early so the staff could clean it - unable to have a coffee after my meal which was disappointing. The front of the restaurant looks a mess, like a junk yard when ski lift gondolas go to die. Lots of faux greenery and plants too - its just all a bit OTT. Would I return - possibly, but i'm not rushing back when there are plenty of other places doing the same thing but less in your face.

    Took a while for us to be shown to our table but once there our waitress was attentive but not intrusive. Fish tacos disappointing but duck salad excellent and partner lived the roast. Would have liked to have seen a few healthier options on the menu. Room quite cold with the doors to the outside open but otherwise good atmosphere

    Well organised friendly staff, food was good, lots of it! Reasonable prices, and I noticed there’s a kids menu, so it’s family friendly. Comfortable surroundings, and looked clean and tidy despite being quite busy. Only minus was a slightly loud soundtrack, maybe needs the volume down a bit. But overall a really good local place to eat and drink.

    Overall ok. Setting lovely. Service very slow and needs more joining up. Servings of brunch items scarce. Eg baked beans portion was served in a tiny pot not out of place in a toy kitchen and contained 12(!) baked beans and a lot of ‘juice’. Needs improving. ‘Scrolls’ not to everyone in my party’s taste and rolls offered as a plainer alternative would have been welcome. Noise level awful, unfortunately.
