We had a special occasion to celebrate and the restaurant did not disappoint. Elegant and classy, impeccable service, good selection of wines and tranquil ambiance. So easy just to sit and relax and enjoy good food. We liked that we could choose how many courses to have and which ones off the menu: starter soup main cheese pudding. We went for four, with sharing cheese. It took us two hours and we didn’t notice how time went. Salmon with caviar for the starter, soup, eel - prepared and served with a touch of surprise. Chabli was very good. The only thing a party of Asian people in the middle of the room, with kids, sloppily dressed and sliding from their chairs, playing on their telephones - really, you cannot choose customers but maybe a subtle hint on dress code would help. Another thing, it was a birthday and a little something with a candle would be a fab finish to the meal.

A nice restaurant but one can see how it lost its Michelin stars. The aesthetic is confusing regency/Victorian/modern/seaside and the food is good but not exceptional - some is bland and others clash in flavours. That being said the staff are super friendly and attentive, but the aesthetic and the food is not too quality for the price.

Bread & butter is the best I've tried in my life. The table centerpiece is stunning, piece of art. Overall, 50 pounds for upscale experience. Book in advance. Dietary restrictions: They have dairy free

We went for lunch to celebrate a birthday. Overall it was a bit of a let down. The location and the restaurant is very nice and the service very good. But the food was very surprising and not in a good way. The portion were miniscule ex: 1 baby potato, 1 green bean and a small piece of porc and the taste was confusing. Some stuff not seasoned, some to salty or sour, and some just strange. We will not try it again, sorry.

Amazing experience. Not just a dinner, but full experience. Great communication when reserving, caring host, all is smooth, very nice ambiance. Food is exceptional. All is reasonably priced. Service is impeccable not intimidating how it might be sometimes in such places, not pretentious, but professional and with human touch. The interior is very stylish. Highly recommended for a self-care treat, a date, family dinner, celebration.

Exceptional place for a very special occasion. You will be pampered a lot. My daughter loved the place. It’s a Michelin star restaurant so you can expect a nice decor, private dining experience. All the dishes were nicely decorated however I have had better, softer meat at some much cheaper place. I would say chicken was way better cooked then red meat. Though the the quantity looks meager but when you finish you will be full.

Great visiting here again for anniversary lunch. Paul and Katie are wonderful hosts. Food exquisite, as always, and we will definitely be back next year.Food: 5/5

Our second visit and again we were not dissapointed, this is now our favourite fine dining establishment in Scotland, yes the food is that good! The staff were polite, prompt and well presented, they went above and beyond with their hospitality, also their knowledge of the food is exceptional. This gives you a relaxed feeling to your dining experience and with the quality of food you will want more. Parking: There is limited parking, it's Edinburgh, and most streets are patrolled by Parking Attendants, we found it's better to use public transport the train is the best option as the station is a 15min walk away there is a private carpark 10 min walk away next to the omni centre if you do want to bring your car, charges vary depending on length of stay.

We visited here with some friends for dinner and drinks. I was so looking forward to it and it did not disappoint. Decor was beautiful. We opted for the 5 course, you get to choose from 2 starters, 1 soup, 2 mains, 1 cheese course and 2 desserts 21212 There was also some extra choices of specials so there was a great selection. The food was absolutely amazing. Everything was explained perfectly to us from our extremely friendly hostess. All waiters and waitresses were fabulous, attentive and knowledgeable. We started the evening with an amuse-bouche which was beautiful - almost like gazpacho accompanied with beautiful bread. Starter was the tasty Cheesy Barley Pudding, then followed the soup. For main I opted for Halibut which was cooked to perfection. The cheese course was next - this was just great. So may different cheeses and biscuits to choose from. Some I have never tried before so it was a lovely experience. We ended the evening with a Lemon Meringue "Bombe" all washed down wish prosecco. Overall we were in the restaurant for a few hours. Nothing felt rushed - it was truly a unique and lovely experience with some fantastic food. Perhaps some low music in the background would be nice but I cannot wait to go back.

Superb. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. The food is brilliant. Everything is beautifully cooked and presentation is top-notch, it's a pity you have to eat it as some of it looks like a work of art. The paired wines make the experience even better. You can also ask if you can use the upstairs bar to have a coffee or after lunch/dinner drink which also offers a panoramic view over Edinburgh to the Forth and the Kingdom of Fife beyond...
