    Our server John was amazing….went above and beyond when my partners steak which he ordered well done came out more medium. He gave us great recommendations for beers including offering samples before ordering and lively bars to visit. We all agreed we would go back for his service alone. Thanks John

    We did the Steak and Side for £19.50 menu on NY day. Waiter was attentive and everything was timely. Food was delicious, very nice steak, beautiful taste and cooked perfectly. Lovely selection of sides. Wine was expensive as expected .. Pudding was nice but steak and chips were definitely worth the visit. Have already recommended.

    This is probably my favourite steak restaurant in Edinburgh due to the fine dining aspect and amazing quality of food. Absolutely stunning meal although I do have a couple of downsides unfortunately this time round! We were sited next to a group with a dog that kept barking, I was more shocked dogs were allowed in under the tables for hygiene, and other guests courtesy. It did ruin the ambience of treating your self’s to a high class experience.. when we came in we usually are greeted upstairs but we stood waiting for a while and travelled downstairs were no one host seemed to be as well. The lovely polish lady serving us was extremely warm and welcoming which was a good touch.
