    Visiting Edinburgh with my husband and we wanted to try a Sunday roast. While the roast itself was decent, I would say what makes this place awesome great visit was the staff and the fun atmosphere. On Sunday nights they play trivia with those willing to participate and the whole place has a fun buzz. Happy we tried this place!

    We had reservations and arrived early. We informed the host that we were going to sit outside and have a drink beforehand. We went into the restaurant at our reserved time and the host said our table was given away. Instead he seated us in a small area right next to a large, loud group and said he’d return and move us if it was a problem. He never did. We asked our waiter to move us which he did. Never saw the host again. Food was subpar. Service not great. I’d go for a drink but nothing else. Definitely a tourist trap.

    Lynn, it is disappointing for us to hear that your experience was anything less than great. This isn’t the standard we normally maintain, I’m not sure what’s happened in regards to your booking but I’d like to investigate what’s gone wrong and try to make it up to. If you are willing to give us another chance, please contact me on oliwer.nylander@signaturepubs.co.uk so I can understand your situation better and try and turn your experience around. Thank you, Oliwer

    Very helpful staff when we called to alter our table number. They called back to confirm as well. From arrival, the restaurant is lovely, with a welcoming and friendly ambiance. We loved our booth and it made such a special family occasion. Food was excellent and roast beef served to medium rare perfection. Very friendly and efficient serving staff without rushing us. Thank you

    We were expecting something tenderer, not that chewy one.

    武也, we pride ourselves on providing exceptional service, so we are disappointed to hear that your visit with us was anything less than satisfactory. If you would be willing, we would like to have you contact our manager at oliwer.nylander@signaturepubs.co.uk to try and make this up to you.
