Visiting Edinburgh for weekend and chosen for special occasion. Excellent food, tapas type/small and large plates (but not Spanish) gave a good variety of dishes. Also excellent service in a friendly size location.

We have been coming to this Restaurant over the past 4 years, the food is lovely and service great, however on this occasion, the menu was really disappointing, lack of choice and no kids menu. Not sure if we will go back

We come here every time we visit family, and we recommend to anyone coming to Edinburgh. Very classy yet approachable, and such a perfect name to reference the carvings of the angels with bagpipes on the Edinburgh castle. The food is absolutely delicious and service was stellar.

Si quieren diferenciarse del resto deben mejorar mucho el servicio, el ambiente y los detalles. Por lo demás la comida muy buena y el servicio (en general) aceptable.
