   Most places were booked for dinner but luckily this restaurant still had reservations for a Saturday night at 8PM for 2. When you get there, inside there are stairs that go down. It looks like it's empty at first but when you turn into the main room, it's filled with people. The haggis was expensive for 1 little pastry but delicious. The venicin, rib eye steak with pepper sauce, and toffee pudding were all delicious. They have a tasting menu option as well. Service was attentive and they have a good whiskey selection. A little pricey for whisky compared to others but enjoyable nonetheless. All that and 3 whisky's came to 127BGP including the 10% tip.

   Impeccable dinner, wide selection of starters, all the plates were amazingly cooked and presented by Erica, our incredible waitress for the evening. Highly recommended for anyone seeking for a true Scottish experience!

   An excellent restaurant offering a small selection of traditional Scottish dishes with a refined twist. The tasting menu is excellent. The decision not to offer whisky is unusual, but this is more than compensated for by the excellent locally produced gin and rum. The service deserves a special mention, particularly Luciano, who was friendly and impeccable. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience Scottish hospitality and delicious, well-balanced dishes.

   The food was lovely! We had Smoked Salmon Mousse, Ribeye Steak, Spring Green Risotto, and Toffee dessert. I saw a few reviews saying that the food was bland, but to us it was just right :)

   We tried the 6 course rastning menu and it was so good. The haggis was stunning. The staff were so friendly and described every dish carefully. Only - is that its very noisy so dont expert a romantic dinner.

   I booked this place for the tasting menu for our anniversary and we had a wonderful experience. Easy dish was wonderful, beautiful presentation and play of tastes and colours with seasonal food. Lorna waited our table and she was excellent in making us feel welcomed and special on our anniversary. We had a complimentary anniversary dessert which was so tasty with a lovely announcement - turned out another couple had who also chosen the place for their anniversary. :) Highly recommend the tasting dish.

   I cannot say enough great things about this restaurant! My husband and I both ordered the tasting menu, I had the vegetarian and he the meat. Every dish was delicious, even things we were not sure we would like (looking at you haggis). And the waitress was so knowledgeable and sweet, she explained all the dishes to us and talked with us about visiting the area. We loved it and highly recommend going and trying out a bunch of different things.

   Highly recommended!! Went with some friends, one of whom is vegetarian and we all went for the tasting menu. Didn't regret it one bit. We chose the wine pairing with the meal and it works really well. I had the non veg option and everything was so good. My absolute highlight was the venison though. Just so tasty!! The music and playlist brought back some old memories and really made out night. The ladies provided a wonderful service and can I give a shout out to the owner Lorna who was just so wonderful and even changed a couple of things out in terms of meal options. Would absolutely go back there and recommend it to anyone who wishes to enjoy a nice meal in Edinburgh

   Booked this restaurant on a whim and ended up doing the six course tasting menu as I couldn't decide on all the fabulous food. Every course was full of flavour and perfectly balanced. The venison was the highlight for me, and is possibly one of the best plates of food I've had the pleasure to eat. The staff were very welcoming and friendly and the vibe was very cosy on a cold Scottish evening. Loved it, will be back next time I visit Edinburgh.
