    Had a great experience here! The food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the service had a personal touch that made it feel special. Compliments to the chef for the incredible flavors and creativity—truly Michelin-level dining. A special thanks to the sommelier for the perfect wine and drink pairings that elevated the entire meal. Highly recommend!

    We booked in the morning we arrived in Edinburgh. We actually got engaged a couple of hours before food. Upon arrival the waitress was chatting to my finance and they got talking about the proposal. We were tested to a glass of fizz as we were seated and then talked through the menu which was amazing. Food was unbelievable and the service amazing. We had our 1 year old with us and they were great with him and we would recommend to go.

    Overall the service and food was good.But the quantities were small considering the cost. Our friend ordered scallops as a starter and GOT ONE. Hefty price for a single piece The waiting staff were attentive and friendly. . The toilets were down many stairs. Very inconvenient for a person with mobility problems. Not even a lift that went down. There was a disabled WC upstairs near the bar. But once agin there were stairs to negotiate. Could be one ofEdinburgh’s best restaurants if these reviews were heeded and quantities increased and prices reviewed accordingly.

    We had an exceptional meal tonight, we were sat at the chefs table which was a treat! We enjoyed seeing the kitchen in action and all the delicious dishes going out. The decor and ambiance was perfect! Two of our party had the beef Wellington and two of us had the pork, we weren’t disappointed with our choices. Everything we had off the menu was excellently curated by the chef, the flavours were devine. We have had some great meals in Edinburgh but this was by far the best, look forward to coming back again. All staff we extremely attentive and made our experience even better.
