I had a pescatarian menu for the first time and it was delightful! The scallops were such a highlight, but it was so hard to choose a favorite. We'll be back for sure!

The service was good with staff paying attention but it didn’t seem genuine and they all seemed like they were in a massive rush. There was no attempt to connect and even when the dishes were explained to us, they were explained in a rush and sometimes it was hard to understand what we were being told because of how loud the restaurant was. The atmosphere wasn’t pleasant, from the tacky decor and table setting, to some rude customers, I simply found it difficult to enjoy the experience. In terms of the food, while some dishes were indeed delicious and executed well, I failed to see a unique taste/dish. Some dishes particularly dessert were very disappointing. We’ve been so underwhelmed by the experience we left before we finished the dessert dishes. I can see there are many positive reviews and I struggle to understand how that’s possible. Whilst the restaurant is ok, it definitely doesn’t meet the high standards it advertises and there are plenty of fine dining restaurants in Edinburgh that offer 10x better service and food.

The ingredients, the preparation, the service, everything is absolutely wonderful. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner
