    Visited for the view and cocktails. Gorgeous space and dog friendly. Tried some of the sharing plates and they were incredible. Cocktails were stunning, with a wide variety to choose from. Definitely will be back.

    There's a huge selection of whiskies and interesting food in a unique location. The staff were excellent - helpful and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We missed the views on a winter evening so will be back for the sunsets once the days lengthen.

    Great place with excellent drinks and food menu but it’s the team that makes it all stand out. Welcoming, attentive and very friendly service throughout with special mention to Paola and another female staff (smiley and engaging redhead, very sorry for forgetting your name) who both fabulously looked after our table. Will certainly visit again!

    Celebrating the birthday and retirement of my wife. Table booked for mid afternoon. Warm welcome, shown to table promptly and we quickly met our server Anna. In our experience, it's the people that make the vibe and Anna was simply perfecto (and spanish) Great fun, warm, professional and keen to make your experience the best it could be ... a true gem. We had the meat plater, olives and foccacia bread, all of which were delicious and all of the bread was served warm. My wife has a dairy allergy and this was considered when we ordered. Drinks were of a high quality and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Views are fantastic and they are dog friendly. We will definitely be returning ... and hope to see Anna again, a Spanish Senorita in the heart of Leith ... definitely bringing the sunshine. Thank you
