Really good experience! Service was fantastic, food was amazing, drinks were tasty! Only thing, you feel a little on top of other guests as the venue is quite small. Didn’t ruin the experience at all though. Will be back!!

We had Edinburgh cocktail festival bands so went to try their signature cocktail which was lovely. We tried a few gins off the menu and the waitress and waiters gave us great recommendations on what to try. Service was prompt and they were all very friendly and attentive. Lovely bar which I didn't know was there but will definitely return to.
