We had afternoon tea and could not fault it. My only complaint if it can be called that, was the cost of the cocktails, a bit on the steep side but I suppose most places are the same in Edinburgh.

Will be the last time we book and visit this particular restaurant.Hot food was served cold , returned to the kitchen for replacement , came back warm but mushy . After a 20 min wait , had to requested the dirty dishes cleared , and ask for the desert menu . Restaurant wasn’t busy at the time we visited . Staff didn’t seem to bothered by our custom, and no thank you and goodbye by the waiting staff .

Below-average high tea, ok but nothing more. Very neutral taste, ice fog is supposed to enhance the whole thing. Service sometimes good, then poor again. Would not come again.
