I stumbled on this place by accident and decided that we were going to have New Year's Eve dinner there . The food was very good and so was a service. This place is a bar / restaurant. It was a shame to be 10 ft away from a table of six with three female hyenas trying to outdo each other. Next time we had to Edinburgh we probably will be there again this year I would love to go back there and enjoy ameal in an area without the pub atmosphere.

Waitstaff was friendly, so awarding a couple stars for that. We were here a total of two hours -- waiting nearly that long to receive our entrees (with about an hour gap between appetizer and entree). The food was bland and not warm enough. All in all, a frustrating experience.
