A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Edinburgh. We were welcomed on arrival. Staff were friendly, professional and attentive, but didn't rush us between courses, which we like. Food was delicious. Between us we had a lamb, chicken and beef dish. We used vouchers towards our meal so it was superb value, however, it is not overpriced for the quality of food.
