   I went here for my mum and brothers birthday on Saturday night and left quite disappointed. We arrived for our 5.30pm booking and still had to wait for our table. I’d like to point out that the waiting staff were fantastic; really attentive and lovely. However, the food is where things fell short. Burned and chewy scallops and a medium-rare steak for £42 that refused to break down no matter how long I chewed it for. I’ve never had a steak before that looked perfectly medium rare yet was so hard to eat. The searing was a bit much also, with most of the steak tasting like char. The desserts were quite good however. I did feel quite bad as the staff genuinely came over about 5 times to ask how the food was before I finally commented on the chewiness of the steak as I never like to complain. Again, really lovely servers. Perhaps we went on a bad night, however for the price there are much better steakhouses in both Edinburgh and Glasgow.

   One of the best Sunday Roasts I’ve had in Edinburgh, couldn’t fault the food at all. Will definitely go back

   Perfect meal and service, absolutely first class, thoroughly enjoyed and would highly recommend. And that's from someone who is not easy to please!

    Staff were friendly and very helpful explaining details of the menu. Steaks were exquisite and the couple of wines we tried were excellent. All at price, of course, but great for pushing the boat out that little bit.
