The food was good as usual but the service was fairly poor. They forgot an order for a glass of wine and attracting any attention seemed impossible to rectify this and get more water again very difficult. Same for getting the bill. Pity as we love this place.

A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh. We were welcomed on arrival. Staff were friendly, professional and attentive, but didn't rush us between courses, which we like. Food was delicious. Between us we had a lamb, chicken and beef dish. We used vouchers towards our meal so it was superb value, however, it is not overpriced for the quality of food.

Lovely French fayre. Nice sàuvingnon blanc and my Brixton pale ale went down a treat. Only thing I could complain about was the price of the cake to finish. £6.50 was a bit steep though they were lovely.

Even though we had booked a table on arrival we were kept waiting. Staff weren’t welcoming. Eventually did get a table but then ignored for neatly 20 minutes. Ordered drinks but again had to wait.
