What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and OpenTable highlight the creative menu and excellent service. Diners often mention the relaxed vibe and how it feels like a “hidden gem” among Edinburgh’s busier restaurants. The cocktail list receives special praise, as does the presentation and freshness of the food. Many return for the quality-to-price ratio and the friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the dining room is on the smaller side, so reservations are recommended, especially before big concerts. A few also mention that the menu isn’t huge—great for focus, but those with picky eaters in the group might want to check ahead.
