Up market restaurant in Edinburgh. Small portion tapas style plates, beautifully executed. We particularly enjoyed the smoked salmon, the BBQ broccoli, and the crab on crumpet. The venue and staff made for a lovely evening in Edinburgh.

Best food I’ve had in Edinburgh. Small plates were the highlight, staff were amazing and the atmosphere buzzing but not overbearing. Thoroughly recommend!

Fined here several times in the past but not for about 7 years & always had fantastic experience. However, the changed 'concept' of tapas style is all wrong for the type of menu being served. The restaurant lacked polish, the food was mediocre & very overpriced but the staff were lovely & professional which is why we still paid the added 12.5% service fee automatically added to the final bill.

For a place advertised to be upscale, service doesn’t match. Food was good, but nothing unique.
