Food was very well presented and each element was well prepared and delicious. Particularly enjoyed the cod and haggis spring rolls. The staff were really great, made sure to keep our water topped up, and enjoyed friendly chat with our waiter. Atmosphere was lovely, music not too loud, lights not too dim. Would really recommend!
