Best steak experience I've ever had! Customer service was lovely. Perfectly cooked steak and so fresh and perfectly seasoned, amazing prices and value for money and incredible chips and peppercorn sauce. The grilled calamari was so tasty and so was the chicken wings. Such great prices again for these starters. I will be forever coming back, extremely impressed with the service. Was in and out in 50 mins!!
Amazing food, excellent service. We’ve been there on Christmas Day. Instead of having lunch at the hotel we were looking for somewhere else to eat. I know we had to book in advance but we didn’t. Luckily we found that place. Everything was amazing food, wine, deserts the people. I can’t recommend more. If we visit Edinburgh again, we are definitely going back there. To be honest i looked for directions to see if there is another restaurant like this in the uk.
We had a great dinner this evening. The service was very friendly and the food was very good. We had the calamares and after that the lamb chops and grilled prawns. Also a cucumber salad with walnuts. The desert and the espresso were also very good. Thank you for making our last evening in Edinburgh one to remember.
Had an incredible Tomahawk steak here with my hubby last week for our anniversary. The food tasted amazing and the service was top-notch...the manager even treated us to a cake with a candle on top to celebrate the occasion. I will definitely bee coming back here again soon - lovely atmosphere, friendly amd professional service and most importantly worth every penny! Thanks for a lovely and memorable experience :)
Very clean. Friendly, fast service. Delicious and very nicely priced. We had nachos appetizer, three steaks with fries, a hamburger, and the waffle with dulce de leche dessert. Would order all again. Wonderful!
