    Mostly everything about our visit was excellent. The food, drinks, friendly and efficient service, value and gap between courses were all exemplary. Not our first visit and most certainly won't be out last. Only negative, and it was a major issue for us was a new baby being breastfed a couple of feet away from us. Maybe we are old school??

    A nice place for a reasonable farm to table meal. The space was good for conversation. The choices were small, but very unique and well prepared. In a side alley in a smart end of Edinburgh this is a find. Our server was the right balance of attentive and respectful of our space. We all enjoyed our time here.

    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.

    We used an ITISON voucher and were delighted to be able to pick from the whole menu. Quality food, great choice and generous portions. Service was excellent. Lovely vibe in restaurant.
