    We both had the Tagliatelle Bolognese which was very tasty and had plenty bolognese. The crispy zucchini was tasty too. Nice calm atmosphere. We wanted a break before dessert and they were happy to leave us to decide when. All very relaxed.

    Our seating was a little cramped as it was very close to another table. The breakfast roll was massive and wasn't all eaten so it could have been smaller and therefore maybe a bit cheaper.

    The whole experience from entering to leaving was excellent. The staff were friendly and talkative when you spoke to them. The staff in the restaurant part were superb and friendly also. We got shown about the gardens etc and told where we could get some really nice pictures of Leith etc. Its a place where i would go back to without any problems. The food was lovely and hot also including the tomato, the coffee was hot and strong as well. The staff were relaxed and helpful when needed.

    We found this to be a charming and indulgent experience for summer afternoon tea. The serving size was plenty (we had leftovers to take away) and they graciously allowed us to have more than seven different pots of teas! We stayed for nearly 2.5 hours with no sense of being rushed by the staff. Outstanding!
