Went here for a family meal on Sunday. Was ushered downstairs by the french speaking staff. Very friendly I found. We had booked so there was no waiting.
Service was quite quick but there were no beers on the menu and thankfully I spotted a chap with a Kronenburg. We had 5 different starters.
Mussels - tasty
Rabbit Terrine - awful
Black Pudding - good
Escargot - very garlicy - not much snail to taste - nice though if you like garlic
Brie in filo pastry - very nice
Needless to say we all tried all of these.
When it came to mains though there was less to choose from that looked good. I nearly had the bouilliabase and chickened out for the steak as did 2 of my fellow diners. One had Monkfish, which was fine (comes with mussels - not mentioned on menu) and the final person had lamb. The mains were ok but the starters were much more enjoyable. The veg was universally approved of.
My steak was quite fatty - more rump than sirloin to be honest.
The desserts were quite varied, we had one person on cheesboard (not great) creme brulee (very nice) choc tart x2 (good) and crepes - very nice.
All in all it was mostly very nice. Our experience was tainted by screaming 2 years olds 5 feet away (2 of them) and this was at 8.30 - 10 pm on a Sunday.
I'm sure many people love it, personally I found the mains to be mediocre. With great starters and deserts it may not be enough to get me to go back.
The bill was about £160.

A city centre location, with a decent price (if you go during the pre-theatre hours where you a main + coffee deal) or reasonable price outwith the 'discount' hours even.
It's one of my favourite restaurants, and I've practically tried everything on the menu. The fish is superb, and I'm not much of a pisceterian, and the lamb dishes are always cooked to perfection.
Presentation is superb, for the price it's practically a bargain (see if you're willing to pay the same price for the touristy garbage all the other places in the Grassmarket and 'steakhouses' tend to serve), and it comes highly, highly recommended by yours truly. See you there.
