    Our first time there. There is a lot of building work going on outside but that did not impact on our visit. Amazing views of the Royal Yacht Britannia lit up at night and out to sea - quite stunning. The food was delicious although the starters took a long time to come. Our waitress Anna noticed this, chased them up for us and gave us complimentary drinks to compensate. She is such an asset to this restaurant and absolutely made it a memorable evening for us. Without hers harp observation skills we would probably have become very grumpy and irritated by the delay. We would definitely go there again. The menu is very limited but that is a good thing. Everything we ate was a delight.

    This was our second time at Port of Leith and it was another stellar experience! Their drink menu is extensive and their signature cocktails are great. I absolutely love Lind and Lime and am in heaven coming in and getting to have all the gin cocktails!
