Lovely lunch with 3 children who had the kids hamburgers & make your own sundae. Service was exceptional as nothing was too much trouble for our waitress, Lucy, from colouring stuff for the children to lots of ketchup!

The worst excuse of a poached egg that I’ve ever been served. The egg was minuscule- embarrassingly so. The scones were hard and dry. Terrible food Lovely service.

The booking process was easy. I arrived early but was shown to the table. Our order was taken. Water arrived followed by our drinks. The food arrived and my Fried Chicken Croll. It's was absolutely delicious. The others had the Tikka and Flatbreads and the Smashburger. The food was delicious. The service was excellent throughout. Highly recommended

Normally one of my favourite bruntsfield venues. Last night though was a disaster. The kitchen was in a mess and kept sending the wrong food at the wrong times. We eventually gave up and left hungry. The saving grace was the kindness of the manager who was incredibly understanding and kind. Hopefully next time things will be back to normal.

We booked for the breakfast with santa experience. It's a great value for money, the staff were nice and Santa was very friendly and patient. It was a bit chilly at first when we arrived but i guess that's because the place had just opened in the morning and also initially there was no music in the back where we were seated. I liked the decor and food and would definitely recommend to friends and would be back to visit again myself. Happy holidays
