Amazing! New favourite place in edinburgh. The food is really fresh and beautifully prepared, the staff are all very friendly and helpful, and the decor is lovely. The menu looks expensive at first, but when we share everything it works out very reasonable, especially for such great quality food and drinks. Cannot recommend enough! The only con I would mention is that the booth seats are uncomfortable and difficult for those with disabilities. It would be helpful if it could be made known if you’ll be in these booths upon booking, or those with disabilities should request seats with regular chairs.

Food was outstanding. Service was below average, we got the bill half an hour before the restaurant was closing and we had still half an hour left. While we were eating someone started to clean the toilet . Felt a little bit unwelcomed. I understand staff can be tired and exhausted , but putting the chairs on the table when there are still people inside is a little bit too much.
