I don’t think I’ve ever experienced dishes where the chef had used so much skill and creativity to combine flavors that were completely unexpected yet amazingly good. This was a memorable flavor experience. I also very much appreciated our server’s attention to meeting my dietary restrictions, even when that meant having to concoct a new sugar-less drink for me (which was delicious). Really enjoyed everything about the evening.

Beautiful, authentically Scottish food.. Recommend the smoked salmon and also the sea trout main. Love how they have small plates so you can get a few and sample different things if you don't want a whole main course.
