    Great spot. Loved they had crafted non-alcoholic drinks at great prices. The food was very tasty and the atmosphere was fun and lively.

    Traveled 60 miles to Edinburgh for a special 70th birthday celebration lunch with my granddaughter. Waited 20 mins to get order taken. Waited another 20 minutes for food. Asked waitress about delay to discover that she had forgotten to put our food order in. Ended up having 5 mins to try and eat mediocre food before having to leave for another appointment. A disastrous and disappointing experience.

    I order the fired rice with battered chicken. The rice it self was seasoned well but the chicken was stiff as a rock. It felt like it been sitting out since the opened the restaurant and I ate late at night. Other then that everything else was good
