We had a lunchtime menu.. the crab on crumpet was a real highlight and utterly unctuous, and the sea trout was beautifully cooked. Lovely setting in the heart of Edinburgh and well worth a trip. My third visit s d always on point.

Fantastic venue. Lovely helpful staff. Great service without being too fussy. Dark moody but perfect lighting and comfortable stylish seating and tables. Sirloin steak was beautiful and fries were perfect but was slightly lacking a little greenery, maybe just some rocket or watercress would have been ideal. Menu was slightly confusing for a first timer but we know for next time. The sea trout was amazing and lacked nothing. Haggis Bon Bon’s were gorgeous and so was the venison carpaccio. Overall a lovely meal but a little pricey. Would definitely go again though.

Food was excellent as was the service. The sharing plates worked well - 3 starters & 2 larger plates between 2 of us. It was a bit noisy as there was a very loud group seated nearby (nothing the staff could do about it) and the dining room is quite small - but we enjoyed it as we weren’t looking for a quite night out.
