    The food was honestly amazing but we thought there would be live music as that’s what it states and we’re the only ones in restaurant so the atmosphere was not the best but maybe during the day it’s different… Also 10% discretionary charge? Is this a thing in Scotland - no mention of it or anything and for 12£ I feel like that’s a lot just for two of us Also around 20 minutes wait for waitress to come up to us even though place empty Overall I’d come back for the food but atmosphere :/

    We don't mind tipping for good service. However, just to add 12.5% to the bill and put the word discretionary against is... it puts people into an awakward position.. On this occasion, the staff actually did themselves out of a better tip...
