    When we arrived there was little or no welcoming to the establishment. We had a booked table however there was no mention of this whatsoever and we were told to sit where ever we liked. The staff seemed to be more content about chatting to one another than anything else and there was no attempt to engage in conversations with ourselves or others which was a shame. We ordered two Scottish breakfasts, awful and over priced. A £15.50 breakfast that I would have expected at a cafe for half the price. Awful black pudding and cheap sausages. I don’t even attempt to eat the bacon as it might have encountered some dental issues. This is not the first time we have been here so unfortunately I don’t know what has gone wrong however we will not be back.

    We asked for a room at the back so it would be quiet & we could chat. The only other occupied table was used by the staff & their visitors & they were all very loud & noisy so we could hardly hear ourselves at times. We were made to feel like we were intruding. The food was delicious but could have been hotter.

    Last minute booking on a Saturday night. We were all very pleased with this find. Decided to share starters as a Meze and they were all very tasty. They provided gluten free bread for the dips too. The olives were enormous and full of flavour. Is more of a cafe but had plenty of choice for an evening meal too and had a nice relaxed atmosphere.
