Lovely cosy restaurant with a very reasonably priced lunch menu. Food was delicious, staff friendly.
Booked a table for two and was delightfully surprised by the cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. The food was great, we had the lunch special with angus steak, very happy! Now, the top was indeed the sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream - I’m certainly returning for that!!!
One of the most enjoyable dining experiences of the year for us. The serving staff “Klaudia & Iona” were so professional and friendly, the ambience was welcoming and warm, and the food was healthy and delicious 😋
Fabulous meal. Really excellent. Mussels followed by one of the best steaks I’ve eaten in many years (and I’ve eaten a fair few!). Service was really friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Loved it. One of my favourite places to eat in Edinburgh
The place is a bit small, so it is recommended to make a reservation upfront. We tasted the haggis and the chicken liver as starters. Both were clearly freshly made in the kitchen and tasteful. As main courses we decided to order a sirloin and a ribeye, both medium. They were a bit well done, which was a small disappointment. However the meat was tasty and nicely grilled. It is recommended to take a side dish with the steak as it is only served with salad. The ladies serving the tables were nice a very friendly. Sitting outside was a little uncomfortable with a hobo begging for money twice and a gypsy woman trying to sell single roses. Overall the food and service were worth it.
This may have been our best meal in Edinburgh. The staff was so kind and helpful. We came in during a dinner rush without a reservation and they made a table for our party of 5. The steaks were fantastic. You have to get the Sticky Toffee!The restaurant is warm and cozy.
1st off let's start with the absolute best part of the meal. Her name was Madison and her service was extraordinary.
The Goat Cheese appetizer and the Haggis were absolutely amazing. The Tomato Basil Soup had the perfect texture and a wonderfully robust tomato flavor. However if I hadn't seen the Basil in the Soup I would have never known it existed. Trust this American Chef and sweat that Basil in a little olive oil and add it to the soup as you simmer the tomatoes and it will then be a homerun!
The cold smoke salmon was very disappointing. My guess is it was farm raised salmon as for this Washington State native, it left a lot to be desired.
The Mussels and Prawn dinner would have been amazing had the kitchen taken the time to peel the shrimp first. Nobody can ever consider that a great meal when their fingers become messy when eating shrimp.
Finally the Ribeye Steaks. We ordered 2 of then. They were cooked perfectly as we ordered. Yet this was the most bland Angus Ribeye I've ever had. Very little marbling at all and that is why we order a Ribeye is that marbling along with the 21 days hanging the restaurant boast about is not enough when you are afraid to use any salt or seasoning.
A good chef could turn this restaurant into the best dinner house in Scotland with a little imagination because the front of the house staff is spot on and amazing. Step it up BOH you have work to do.

The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly. The steaks were good, but I had hoped for more, as my steak wasn't seasoned and the home made chips were not crispy.
