Served by a young woman, who was extremely friendly. Had an amazing Mac and Cheese and Pie. Mac and Cheese is normally hit and miss, but this was spectacular and a 10/10. Will be back!

An up market and very enjoyable place to enjoy a dinner out. The manager and staff made us feel very welcome and the service was discrete, friendly and professional. The food was very good, well presented and very tasty. It was a shame that the restaurant was a tad on the cool side when we visited.

Fish is edible but chips are bad. Portion is big but I expect some mash in my plate. Chippy souce is not for me. Even though there were many empty tables, they made us wait, stating we didn't have a reservation. Tips are optional.

GLUTEN FREE/CELIACS this is the restaurant for you! The menu doesn’t specify that they have gluten free options, but don’t be fooled! Best meal we’ve had in our 2 weeks in Scotland!

The food is amazing, the drinks are creative and delicious, the atmosphere is great, I just found the music a bit loud and annoying, it gets in the way of conversation, but that's just my personal opinion. The service is attentive and they pay close attention to allergies. I highly recommend it!

Food wasn’t worth how much it cost . Burger had a weird taste . The buffalo bites didn’t have much sauce . All very disappointing.

We stumbled upon this while walking a little bit besides the main tourist roads. (Still crowdy). The waitress was very knowledgeable to the point where I mistook her for a Mexican native (sorry) The elotes were very nice, the tortillas too. The guacamole wasn't that good but I can imagine it's hard to find good avocado in Scotland in may. The drinks were very good as well as the salsa and the quesadilla which my wife had. They also added grilled vegetables without a question asked. The hot sauce variety was also very good. Can only recommend!

I was excited as soon as we popped our heads in and saw what looks like a true family run establishment. The people and the food looked really authentic Italian. Service was friendly quick...very quick, but I guess that comes with the territory of pasta. The sauces are already made so it doesn't take long to prepare plates. The overall quality of the food was unfortunately less than expected from the garlic bread to the pasta sauces. I have no real complaints about any of it but none of us found anything to be exceptional.
