    Awesome atmosphere as soon as you walked in and very very busy. Service was great and drinks were served at the bar while they got our table ready. Chicken burgers were enormous and some of the best chicken I’ve ever had. We had the buffalo burger. Sorry forgot the name! Overall amazing experience and would recommend anyone in Edinburgh to visit.
