Service from the waiting staff was great but took sooooo long for food to come out. When the food did arrive it was very nice, but kitchen just didn’t perform, even though it didn’t seem too busy. Will come again and gone it another chance but the managers/owners need to get a grip of the back of house.

Went today with a friend. The meal I asked for was not what I got but I was hungry. I asked for BBQ sauce & was told I would have to pay for it(disgusting). My friend got the gammon & could not eat it as it was too rubbery. Tried to complain & no one was interested. We are in there often but I don't think we will be back. Very disappointed 😞

I wanted to love this Indian street food spot, it had a cool vibe, smelled great, laid back and great soundtrack. But the food was tasteless. First, while they promote the Bombay sapphire gin, they simply won’t make their also advertised gin martini out of it, even for an up-charge. I rolled and took their version which was a citrusy lime affair, when everyone who matters knows gin martinis are meant to be served dirty and with olives. Maybe that’s the New York girl in me, but moving on, the Papadam had not an ounce of cumin, seed or powder, just puffed dough. Similarly, the Haka noodles were mush and honestly tasted like nothing except maybe vinegar. Maybe the mains are better, but I’d try your luck elsewhere. My 3 purchased items are all going back mostly untouched.

The café looks chic and has a lot of charm. Unfortunately, that's where it ends. After I went through all the tables, I chose the one that was least dirty. The tables were cleared but not wiped down. The family at the next table took a rag from the waitress and cleaned it themselves.

At first glance, we thought this would be just a basic breakfast buffet, however it is supplemented nicely with various menu items. Food was fine, and I might have given three stars, except that our server Nick made me the most incredible cappuccino with almond milk. He also had good suggestions for what to order. Truly exceptional service and I am bumping it up to four stars. Excellent almond milk cappuccino. Thank you Nick!

Great to find, we're doing to entire week in scotland visiting every spot. This good pub with large choices

I'll keep this review simple. Great food, with great company and the staff are great and attentive. The mushroom chilli was amazing . Compliments to the chefs. And compliments to Michelle for picking up on my diary allergy for dessert 😇 . Vegan ice cream was lovely and so was the pear and pistachio tart. I want more of the tart 🤤. Looking forward to coming again , next visit to Edinburgh 🤤.

Il posto migliore per cenare e per fare un aperitivo immersi nella tipica atmosfera scozzese!! Qualità prezzo eccellente!

It ws very busy when i was there , but the staff managed well.

Nice, cozy pub in the heart of the old town. You can definitely stay there for a few beers. 👍😂

Excellent in all aspects! I had a marvellous evening

The service was impeccable from the greeting to the server (thank you Oli), and the food was just spectacular. We each had the 2-course prix fix and a side. And a great IPA. Highly recommend.
