This relatively new restuarant is a lovely addition to the Edinburgh restuarant scene. Fairly pricey in the evenings, but £12.95 for 2 courses at lunch is exceptional value. I had the Scottish Salmon Gravadlax to start, followed by the exquisite Roasted Guinea Fowl Breast with Foie Gras.
The service was perfectly competent and attentive. The ambience is lovely. It is only my stingyness that prevented me from giving it an unprecedented 5 stars.

My husband and I had a fantastic night here, the whole experience was one of attentive luxury from start to finish. The interior is quite decadent as is the food - whether you choose the a la carte or the taster menu you will not be disappointed. The portions are not huge but instead they aim to satisfy with their imaginative combinatons and moreishly rich flavours. The taster menu took me to places I have never been - from the addictive salt cod samosa's to the confit of chicken and the snail bob-bons (weird but delicious). Everything looked like a work of art and was a pleasure to eat. The service is much less pretentious than one might expect - though some of the staff are more formal than others they do aim to please and are simply taking their jobs seriously. The wine menu runs well from end to end - with a good spread of middle to low end prices. The evening here was one of the highlights of our trip and I would encourage anyone to give it a go. Our bill came to £140 - for a taster menu, an a la carte, wine apperitifs and digestifs - the El Buli of the north.

The food was very good, the wine pleasant (even the house red) and the service was good except... somewhere along the line on a moderately busy Saturday night they managed to forget our main courses! It took a reminder from us for them to realise this and after a gap of around an hour they were eventually served. The waiting staff were very good and the the price of the main courses wiped from the bill but as it was supposed to be a special occasion the night was a little spoilt.
