   I purchased this meal for my son and his new husband for my son's birthday and their honeymoon. The staff was extraordinarily accommodating as I wanted to pay for their meal. They were traveling and we live in the US. After the meal, they called me and we took care of the bill over the phone. They could have not been nicer! From my son: We had a great time- our server was very attentive & made sure our glasses were never empty, and the sliders & the cheesecake were both excellent

   Second visit and loved it just as much! We were a table of 6 celebrating a family birthday, we had fabulous cocktails/drinks at the bar followed by a delicious dinner. All the staff were superb, what a great crew to have particularly our lovely server. Dinner was at a great pace with no rush. Overall we all loved it and will definitely be back soon.

   Great service from the staff from arrival to departure. Great selection of food which was prepared to perfection and tasted superb. Tables were too close together for my liking and the overall feel was a bit regimental. Biggest negative was the 3 slightly over boisterous females who seemed to be conducting their conversation as f it was a decibel competition. I would have thought one of the members of staff could have discreetly asked them to consider the other diners. Apart from the minor negatives, my experience was good

   Our server was lovely, food was amazing. The only thing I wasn't so keen on was the 2 seater tables were very close together, we may as well have been sitting at one big table with the other guests. Also not a fan of the service charge being whacked on!

   Excellent dinner. Very friendly staff that did a nice job explaining the menu. My wife and i split olives and sourdough bread as starters. We also shared Galician prime rib, cooked medium, along with the 2 sides and sauces. Probably one of the best steaks I have had.

MUSSELS / CHARRED CORN ON THE COB FILLET OF HAKE/ BISTEC CON PAPAS FRITAS SANTIAGO ALMOND TART x 2 With some beer and wine to drink. Both the food and service was outstanding. I would highly recommend eating here.

    We definitely will go back during the next visit to Edinburgh. The food was exceptional my wife and I had different cuts of steak. Both cooked to perfection and tasted fantastic and that's before trying 3 of there sauces which were beautiful. Can't praise them enough. Even tho I was feeling kind of full the main was that good I had to try a pudding, I can safely say it was the best sticky toffee pudding I've ever had. Top marks
