This is a fantastic Scottish restaurant that pays attention to the small details, have a unique menu, and a professional service. Location is right at the Royal Mile of Edinburgh, toilets are clean. Prices are a bit high, but I found it worth paying.

Very limited menu choice and didn't like that some of the mains don't come with carbs (potatoes, rice, pasta) and we were told that to order sides is not possible. In the end, after pushing, we managed to order sides of chips.

My husband and I booked this before heading to Edinburgh. It did not disappoint! We shared the small plate of battered cod goujons, while I had the oysters with scotch bonnet and whiskey hot sauce. Amazing! Then he chose the chicken larger plate and I had the sea trout. Both were just as fabulous as the small plates. We finished off with the chocolate cremeux. While the food and wine were great, our server was also attentive and helpful in making selections. Highly recommend!

Service was bad. They stained my dress despite I asked them to be careful with the oily dishes when removing from table. They were very confused about the food intolerance asking several times and adding the intolerant item and the client had to ask for every dish.
