A medium restaurant with a lot of potential to become one of the bests. Please note this is only constructive critic at all times. Yesterday was our anniversary and went to have dinner. We saw plenty of good reviews and the restaurant looked romantic and perfect for the occasion. Moreover, the pictures of the dishes at the website looked amazing. We also like to help family businesses like this one as they usually have something special to offer. It is a small place, but very beautifully decorated in a very nice environment. Tonight was particularly noisy but that was not at all their fault.

Lovely restaurant tucked away in the quiet town of north queensferry. The turbot and lobster were exceptional, shame we did not have space for dessert! Was very impressed that they had 0% alcohol prosecco!!!
