    Went on a freezing cold January lunchtime. The restaurant was lovely and warm so was the atmosphere and the staff were friendly and welcoming, The food was incredible everything was homemade and perfectly cooked. We had both pies, Steak & haggis and the Chicken and mushroom and both were delicious. The desserts were just as delicious and all homemade. The staff were lovely, friendly and professional throughout and the toilets were immaculate. I can’t wait for my next visit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    A great place to eat in Edinburgh. We came up for a few nights and this restaurant was one of our highlights. The food is exceptional and the ambience is relaxed. I felt like I was eating at a friend/ family house. Would recommend to everyone.

    Booked for a group of 8, very easy to book and organise online. Excellent ambience to the venue on arrival, very friendly staff and the design of the interior was immaculate. Sat down and was able to converse with one another, with no background noise. We all got the Sunday roast and this was delightful, fantastic portion sizes and great serving speed. Would highly recommend and definitely will be coming along again!

    The ox cheek was superb, but rather small. The place is very cozy and service was great. Drinks were also good and fairly priced.
