    Great experience! They gave us complimentary glasses of Prosecco to celebrate our anniversary. Very good views of the castle from the roof top and wonderful pizza.

    Easy to book and I was able to modify my reservation. Food was tasty and servings generous. Our server, Matilda was friendly and helpful. It was a bit noisy, in the Brewhouse Bar, but we soon got used to it and would definitely recommend and go again.

    Excellent experience for a group of 6. Originally on the roof terrace, they kindly obliged and moved us to the second floor. Made sure rugby was on as requested, ran a drinks tab all afternoon, ate some great pizza and then recommended we sign up at the end of the meal for a 25% food discount. All in all, an outstanding day out celebrating my 50th.

    Great service and good food, was pleased with the discount using the crave app. The flickeing disco lights were a bit annoying for dinner midweek.

    Vibes and food were amazing, the waiter on roof terrace was great didn’t get his name but he was from Chicago!! So friendly and helpful! Photo Booth and rentable phone chargers are a great touch. Definitely worth a visit, stunning views of Edinburgh castle but bring a coat for roof terrace😄
