    Service was great, atmosphere was lovely. Food is very good and priced cheaper than many near by. It’s well worth the visit, breakfasts are amazing. I’d book again as each time it never fails to deliver.

    I’ve been vacationing alone in Edinburgh for two weeks and this is one of the few places that truly made me feel welcome and made the experience so very pleasant. The food and wine were delightful as well but the service took things over the top!

    Very attentive friendly service and yummy food. Will go there whenever I am in the city from now on. It's hit and miss in Edinburgh being so busy all the time and hospitality staff are often jaded. These guys were genuinely there to ensure you were comfortable and were satisfied. Didn't mind the service charge, was worth it.

    Service and location were good as our stay was near the W Hotel. However upon arrival we were advised that pizza was no longer available along with monk fish on the menu. That seems strange as most of the menu items were a range of pizzas. That basically left just 1-2 items from the main menu which was disappointing on our final night.
