Up market restaurant in Edinburgh. Small portion tapas style plates, beautifully executed. We particularly enjoyed the smoked salmon, the BBQ broccoli, and the crab on crumpet. The venue and staff made for a lovely evening in Edinburgh.

The whole experience from entering to leaving was excellent. The staff were friendly and talkative when you spoke to them. The staff in the restaurant part were superb and friendly also. We got shown about the gardens etc and told where we could get some really nice pictures of Leith etc. Its a place where i would go back to without any problems. The food was lovely and hot also including the tomato, the coffee was hot and strong as well. The staff were relaxed and helpful when needed.
