We were really lucky to get a last minute table in this restaurant. We’ve tried a lot of restaurants in Edinburgh but this one exceeded our expectations. Starting with the cocktails: they were fantastic. The lunch set menu was also amazing, with lots of different tastes and high quality products. Thanks also to the lovely staff!

Sometimes the stars align. I’ve been to multiple Michelin 3-star restaurants. I enjoyed the food here as much as any fine dining I’ve ever done. Hats off to the chefs for creating a special culinary experience. Highlights: -Day Boat Sashimi -Shrimp Toast -Tomato and Apricot salad -Sea Bream filet -Chocolate mousse Thanks to the team there!

From start to finish you are treated with the most warm and welcoming care. The food is incredible. The crab and bread, kingfish and chocolate mousse I couldn’t recommend more - I wasn’t the biggest fan of the salad but probably just because I tend to prefer a less sweet palate. Tried the wine and ‘snake tree’ cocktail: both delicious. And the most important thing to note - great place to come for coeliacs and gluten intolerances as they have a whole separate menu and did not react to any cross contamination so know they take it seriously. If you’re visiting Edinburgh come visit and make sure you try the mousse!

The food was lovely and the staff very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend the bread, the crab and the chocolate mousse. That mousse was to die for. The portions were rather small which would be okay if the price was a bit lower. It was rather expensive for what we got. Definitely because you had to add a 12,5% service cost. If you already had a high bill, that cost added a lot of money. Fantastic food and service, but we left a bit shocked about how much we had to pay for what we got.

The staff was kind, but overall, the service left a lot to be desired. It took at least 30 minutes just to get our drinks, and another 20 before the first dish arrived. As for the food—the pork was absolutely incredible: juicy, tender, and packed with flavor. Unfortunately, that was the only standout. The rest of the dishes were overpriced and surprisingly bland. Long, elaborate menu descriptions couldn’t make up for the lack of actual taste. It was honestly disappointing. Spending money on food that doesn’t deliver is one of the saddest experiences for me. If you already have a reservation, do yourself a favor and order the pork three times—the portions are small, and you’ll likely need two or three to feel satisfied. If you don’t have a reservation… maybe that’s actually for the best.
