    Great staff and atmosphere, service was fantastic. The only issue I had was with the gluten free breakfast, alternative swaps were made for gluten containing items but they were a little unusual. Gluten free versions of the items, sausages, black pudding, haggis are easy to obtain. Especially sausages why not just serve GF versions as standard, many options available for this and price point not really different. If you are not in need of gluten free it’s fabulous but do think they can do a bit better for coeliac sufferers.

    The chocolate was amazing!😍 Everything on the menu was so good! I had to have the chocolate cake as this is what I saw on Instagram!!! Next time I will be having the chocolate fondue! The decor could do with updating in my opinion. Service was very slow despite what seemed to be a lot of staff roaming around. Areas for improvement: have someone on the door/managing the queue outside as you had to queue to get to the door despite having a reservation. Once inside there was no one to greet you and again had to wait. Then had to wait 10 mins for order to be taken, and longer still for drinks to arrive. This was my only critique which I thought worth mentioning so the place can improve, but overall I absolutely loved it and will definitely be back ☺️
