The staff are very friendly and attentive, food is delicious, and the restaurant has a very intimate feel with nice volume of music and dimmed lights which is lovely for Saturday date night. Sadly, the night of the visit there was a young couple who brought a baby with them and he screamed the whole hour they were there - so the lovely atmosphere was somewhat lost as it is a very small space so one loud table will ruin everyone else’s experience to the point couple next to me left after 20 mins. Obviously not restaurant’s fault but perhaps have a curfew for children for evening service, it is not a cheap restaurant and a screaming baby is not what you expect when spending £70+pp. I would like to come back another time though, food and service are definitely worth returning for!

From arriving to leaving our experience was fantastic. Food lovely, drink fantastic, waiting staff attentive. We had our food and the staff then came to say they had reserved us seats in the bar where we continued to have a few drinks relaxed and chatted. Lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon coming up to Christmas.

Visiting Edinburgh for weekend and chosen for special occasion. Excellent food, tapas type/small and large plates (but not Spanish) gave a good variety of dishes. Also excellent service in a friendly size location.
