    All fab, staff super nice and friendly, good fantastic, decor lovely. I took one star away from ambience purely because the noise level was just a little high for dinner when we arrived at 7pm as there were lots of people at the bar. This did calm down by around 8pm

    We only had wine but getting charged 10% for service for delivering 2 bottles of wine to the table. Are waiting staff not paid to wait on tables why are the customers being automatically charged an extra service charge. It’s becoming a joke.

    The bar service was exceptionally slow for drinks. The place wasn’t even busy. Quite expensive for standard food. We weren’t impressed and won’t go back.

    Love this venue, pur favourite bar in Edinburgh. The food is lovely, the staff are fab but the service is soo slow. Maybe it is intentional for quick turnover of tables. It won’t stop me returning, but we would probably spend a lot more of the service for more drinks was quicker. Also trying to get a staff member’s attention to ask for the bill is a challenge.
    The HuxleyResponded 4 days ago
    Good evening Heather, Thank you for your kind words about our food and staff. We're so glad you enjoy our venue and consider it your favourite bar in Edinburgh.
