    We had a wonderful lunch at 1802 Lounge and Grill for my wife’s birthday. Kasia, our waitress, was warm and attentive, making us feel special. The free Prosecco and cupcake after the meal was a thoughtful gesture. Delicious food, great atmosphere, and exceptional service—highly recommended!

    From the first sip of the house cocktail to the last bite of crème brûlée, our experience at La Garrigue was fantastic. I’d highly recommend the Roquefort soufflé and the caq au vin. The owner was friendly and helpful in recommending wines to complement our dishes. We look forward to coming back again soon!

    The whole experience from entering to leaving was excellent. The staff were friendly and talkative when you spoke to them. The staff in the restaurant part were superb and friendly also. We got shown about the gardens etc and told where we could get some really nice pictures of Leith etc. Its a place where i would go back to without any problems. The food was lovely and hot also including the tomato, the coffee was hot and strong as well. The staff were relaxed and helpful when needed.
