    Fantastic meal on valentines night. Nice touch with oysters offered free and a red rose. However the food was the star of the night. Tasty mussels in curry,coconut sauce. Good steak. Beef dripping chips. What's not to like. Service was outstanding.

    Great place, very noisy upstairs big group in . Food very good ( soup could have been a wee bit hotter) but flavour was fantastic. Surf and turf ten out of ten. Coffee took ages to come forgot about us a wee bit, but they were very busy ( its Christmas) Would definitely recommend and would definitely go back.

    A friend recommended this great restaurant at the end of Edinburg's popular Grassmarket area. It's a small place, friendly and cozy, and we loved it! Wife had salmon and I had one of the best filets I have ever tasted. Scottish beef that melted in your mouth and was so tender you could cut it with a fork. I highly recommend this wonderful little restaurant.

    I visited with grandchildren who are easily embarrassed, so when the two portions of peppered squid arrived I said nothing. If kids were not there I would have returned the dishes. Basically 5 slim rings with dish filled with broken up Chinese crackers, what!?!? If you want mussels in Edinburgh go to the Mussel Inn on Rose Street, better mussels, better value by miles!

    Fantastic restaurant just off the Royal Mile. We had the seafood platter, seafood linguini and salmon and would highly recommend! Delicious and fresh! Save room for the sticky toffee pudding :)

    Lunch with friends and Family. The food was very nice with some creative and innovative dishes. We had one slight problem with the steak being overcooked, this issue was remedied immediately and with a smile. The rest of our food was delicious and I do have to say the service from our waitress was exceptional.
