   The evening was fantastic, our servers were attentive and polite. The food was delicious and so were the drinks. Absolutely recommend this place!

   Absolutely one of the best restaurants I have been to. They gave us the table I requested away from the middle of the restaurant as I am a bit deaf. Sat us in a beautiful seat by the window. The waiting staff are outstanding, friendly, polite, patient, helpful, funny, the food was to die for and the cocktails were the absolute best Margaritas anywhere. Best location on Broughton St, they couldn't do enough for us. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE!

   The service and Margaritas were great but the food was really disappointing. The chicken was dry and the toppings - salsa, guac, cheese - on the nachos were bland. The coriander didn't taste of anything and the ''cheese' was a not very tasty cheese sauce.

   Food was as brilliant as it has been for the past 30 years and the margs are the best in Edinburgh. Service was lovely.
