Great food and good views, excellent service
We booked our company Christmas dinner here on the 10th December. The manager and the team were all excellent in helping to get it organised for us, and the service and food were excellent. I would highly recommend. Great views of Edinburgh Castle, fantastic food and great cocktails.

It was our first night and first visit to Edinburgh and I truly couldn’t have booked a better place to eat
Grilled oysters, haggis rolled balls, venison and pork belly and did i mention the most amazing view of Edinburgh Castle with an amazing light show. The food was delicious, the staff courteous and an amazing atmosphere. Thank you so much for an excellent experience.
