    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal all except for an octopus starter. It was cold, had to have it taken away and were brought another one which was warm. Lovely atmosphere and would recommend.

    We did the Steak and Side for £19.50 menu on NY day. Waiter was attentive and everything was timely. Food was delicious, very nice steak, beautiful taste and cooked perfectly. Lovely selection of sides. Wine was expensive as expected .. Pudding was nice but steak and chips were definitely worth the visit. Have already recommended.

    This is probably my favourite steak restaurant in Edinburgh due to the fine dining aspect and amazing quality of food. Absolutely stunning meal although I do have a couple of downsides unfortunately this time round! We were sited next to a group with a dog that kept barking, I was more shocked dogs were allowed in under the tables for hygiene, and other guests courtesy. It did ruin the ambience of treating your self’s to a high class experience.. when we came in we usually are greeted upstairs but we stood waiting for a while and travelled downstairs were no one host seemed to be as well. The lovely polish lady serving us was extremely warm and welcoming which was a good touch.

    We had an amazing time - have been more than once and the service and quality of food (steak!) was excellent and value for money. Our waiter Luca was fantastic, he really looked after us and made a fuss of my other half whose birthday it was. Thankyou so much Luca! We look forward to coming again.
