“Delicious food and excellent service in an intimate dining room.”

We had an excellent meal here and opted for the 7 course taster menu. The other option is 5 course. They provided 3 small pre dinner bites. The 7 courses were excellent and expertly cooked. Each course offered something different ranging from vegetable, fish, meat and ending in dessert. There's a lovely wine selection and the option to have a wine flight with your meal. I'm a coeliac and they adapted some of the courses. Make sure you book! It's a lovely quaint place, understated but superb. We'll definitely visit again when we're back in Edinburgh. Highly recommended.

Had a 5-course meal with wine pairing. Food was excellent and cooked to perfection. Didn’t take any pictures until the end. We really enjoyed every course. The origin of the wine was shared. However, one thing I had to compare from previous experiences with menu tasting with wine pairing was the missing explanation of what taste to observe/expect and how it paired with the meal/food. Aside from that, it was a great night with excellent food and service.

We came here on a Saturday for lunch since dinner reservations were not available. We opted for the three course menu, but they provided two additional small courses that made it feel more like a five course. In addition, they provide providers, freshly baked yeast rolls with butter. The restaurant is small and down some stairs into a basement type of area. The decoration is minimalist and the space is tight (perhaps eight tables for two?). We felt completely full with just the three servings, but of course wished that we had the time and appetite to have experienced the full seven courses

Wow! What an amazing evening!! The chef certainly showed off their skill, passion and creativity. I loved every dish of the tasting experience. The service excellent, highly attentive and highly informative with the wine flight. Atmosphere very relaxed. To put into context my fiancé booked this as a surprise and being honest I always get nervous because he's attended so many top end and Michellen Star restaurants around the world he is highly critical during a tasting experience and will share feedback during, so to my surprise and absolute delight he said it was absolutely delicious, cou
