Went here for a largish group dinner on a Friday. There were 10 of us, the place was moderatly busy and the service was good. They were there when we needed them and extra drinks were easily obtained.
The general feeling on the food was that it was grand across the board but I can only describe what I had really...
The starter was haggis neeps 'n' tatties with a kind of orangey sauce that was kinda strong but tasty. Not for everyone.
My main was salmon with bacon with a yum sauce of which there was plenty. Very nice. Two of the gang had chicken which they finished no problem - tasty being the verdict. For afters, I had a mix of two of the menu desserts - coconut ice-cream and strawberries - very nice but a bit pricey at £4.
Finally the scottish amongst us went a bit loo-la over something called 'tablet' which was flung about gratis. Looked like very sugary fudge to me.
All in all with 4 bottles of wine on the table and several beers (diet cokes for me) it was £25 each for 10 of us and not everyone had a starter so not the cheapest but not outrageous either.
Nice folk, good selection of beers on the wall menu, decent grub. Verdict, good but I need to go again to say if it's great. I''ll go again definitely. I'd recommend it too. Nice pre-pub spot.

I went here one quiet Thursday night and had a lovely meal with my dining partner.
The staff were really friendly and very attentive. I had haggis to start and my partner had salmon - we both really enjoyed them - the haggis was delicious.
For our mains we both had steak and veg for about £15 and it was very tasty.
My only complaint is that the food came a little too quickly; yes you heard right!
We ordered our starters within five minutes of arriving and the food came within minutes and the same with our mains and deserts which kind of spoiled the whole eating out experience. That was my only complaint. In fairness, it was probably because the restaurant was so quiet and the chef had nothing to do but cook for us!
It is also BYOB - definitely a bonus.
Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will most certainly go again.

One of the better BYO restaurants in Edinburgh. I went here for a birthday party as a large group and had a great time. The restaurant is quite small but added to the atmosphere - the staff were very attentive. Menu is very nice slightly Scottish fare with some explaining needed for some of the courses.
