Quality pub with a beautiful interior, right on the river Lieth. Stopped in here for a meal before the Military Tatoo. Candle lit, nice food and good service. Make sure you book prior. A great little Edinburgh experience

Food was outstanding but service was very slow. Atmosphere was wrecked by a child behind us watching videos on her phone and the tinny transatlantic audio. Prices were steep for a Sunday pub lunch.
