    My friend and I ate here to celebrate her 60th birthday. Everything was wonderful. She said the souffle was like eating "cheese air" -- just lovely. My seabass was fresh and perfectly prepared. The wine was yummy; the dessert decadently delicious. The service was great -- solicitous and friendly, but not intrusive.

    This is not a cheap option for lunch, but for a special occasion or treat, it is one of my favourite places in Edinburgh. The food, service and ambience are consistently exceptional. Definitely need to book in advance. The phone was busy all lunchtime with people looking for a table that night but they were fully booked.

    We had Edinburgh cocktail festival bands so went to try their signature cocktail which was lovely. We tried a few gins off the menu and the waitress and waiters gave us great recommendations on what to try. Service was prompt and they were all very friendly and attentive. Lovely bar which I didn't know was there but will definitely return to.
