Everything was perfect. We went there on our first day in Edinburgh and had an amazing introduction to Haggis. I would recommend it to everyone especially the Haggis. The staff were also very friendly.

Food was great. The service was horrible. They were pushy and tried to get us out as soon as we arrived. Really failed to allow us to have a nice meal and we were only there for an hour, and the restaurant was only half full. Won't be back.

We were attracted by the traditional Scottish dishes available on the menu. Salmon starter was very tasty but a bit more salmon would have been nice. The whisked goats cheese starter was delicious. Our two mains were excellent; venison and salmon both cooked perfectly. No room for dessert! The location of the restaurant was good and easy to get to on foot or by public transport. There was an issue with an incorrect starter being brought initially but the waitress was very apologetic.

The restaurant sat us earlier than our reservation thankfully. Food was very good and timely served. The steak pie and veggies were fresh and great. The sticky toffee pudding was absolutely life changing! Get it.

Lovely location, food and service are good. £27 for a salad with lettuce, tomato, cucumber & onion plus a small piece of steak thrown on top isn’t value for money.
