    This is a great neighbourhood restaurant which serves delicious cocktails and really interesting, seasonal food. Because it is also a bar, it can get quite noisy on occasion, but it is a favourite local hangout, which is part of its charm.

    Lovely bar bistro for atmosphere. 3rd time here. Food not as good as previously but maybe down to our choices and more expensive than expected.

    Food was very nice but the place was very cold. We asked for heating to be put on This was despite it being 2.30pm when you would expect it would be warm after the main lunch service. It slightly spoiled the meal to be honest.

    Got a last minute reservation- difficult in Edinburgh! Half the tables were taken so quiet for a Saturday lunchtime. Service was smiley and attentive, food as described on the menu, felt pricey for what we had.

    Absolutely delicious meal, as always when we have eaten here. Friendly and quick service. Relaxed informal atmosphere. Delicious mocktails too if you need to drive.

    Had a fantastic meal, with friendly, attentive staff. We sat in the Duck Booth and it was very private and yet you were still part of the whole atmosphere.
