The food was fantastic. My sister, brother-in-law, and I had a wonderful meal this evening and they also loved it. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The food at this restaurant is delicious. I tried the haggis bonbons, braised pork belly, and elderflower jelly and loved every single bite.

Very good food and particularly good value on their pre-theatre menu. The venison cottage pie was particularly good flavour and went well with the leeks accompaniment. A bit less gravy on the plate would have been a good idea, it was a bit overdone for us. Good value, decent wines. Service was well done in an efficient and friendly way. Unfortunately we found ourselves the only 2 customers that evening, so atmosphere was not exactly “electric”. We have been before and it was very lively, so I guess this was a one off, and the food and service was still very good.
