Had to fly from North Carolina to Edinburgh to find Pappy Van Winkle 20 year old bourbon. And at about half the price of home.

Great food, great atmosphere, great service.This restaurant just gets better and better...but don't tell anyone its already hard enough to get a table.

Dined here with two friends on a busy Friday night. Shown to a table immediately/ had only booked 15 mins before. Tables close together/restaurant quite noisy but in a way that adds to the atmosphere of the place. Starters came promptly and were all good if not excellent. Ditto the mains. The cooking/presentation is good at the reasonable price point.... More

Came here with a friend to try a restaurant other than our regular ones, which he'd heard was decent. It was mostly empty on a Sunday night when we arrived at 7; it filled up quickly and had a pleasantly lively atmosphere. We skipped starters; I had a small rack of lamb with vegetables and a parmesan potato cake; my... More

Came here for dinner not quite knowing what to expect - reviews seemed variable and there was no web page with sample menu. It had been recommended by a local so we bravely booked and took our seats on a really busy Saturday of a Bank Holiday weekend feeling a bit apprehensive. We need not have worried. Good, relaxed atmosphere,... More
