    I booked drinks only and advised that it was for a birthday. They very sweetly wrote a birthday card and gave complimentary chocolates to my friend. View was lovely, everything was spotless, the atmosphere was relaxing and the service was great. Recommend, especially if you have friends visiting from out of town.

    We had a lovely visit to Nor Loft. David in particular was lovely. We visited for my husbands birthday and he really went over and above to make the occasion special. He’s a credit to the place. We’ll definitely be back :)

    I love it here! A wee secret gem right by Waverley station, with views right across Princes Street. Definitely worth starting your day here with a glass of champagne! I have been here a few times now, and it never disappoints. The ‘bar snacks’ are lovely too, and the service is quiet and understated and professional allowing you to sit back and relax and enjoy your company

    Lovely views of the city! Chilled atmosphere. Only had short rib croquettes for food but they were outstanding. As a champagne lover - great to be able to try some different ones by the glass and not the usuals. Getting champagne’s by the glass that would otherwise need bought by the bottle. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

    Good place for a drink with a view. We only had drinks, so the mark for food is just based on what we saw in the menu which was just nibbly platter stuff.
