"everything I can say is wow. I had so many great culinary experiences in edinburgh, but this one has to repel them all. there were 11 of us overall, so we have booked quite far in advance because it is a small restaurant. we went on a Friday night and it's byob, that was great for us, but maybe not all around us! the service was very relaxed, but friendly, and our waitress was very harmonious about what she liked on the menu, which I enjoyed very much. one of my friends had been before, so I took my lead from her at the order and the waitress said quickly that this was her favorite, so I was very excited! we shared the garnels with garlic and ingwer to begin, which were extremely tasty, but my main was definitiw the highlight. I chose the cocos, coriander and mandelfish fillet that came with carrots and crushed kartoffels. I ate the whole and enjoyed every last bit it was fantastic! Surprisingly, even better than the food was the atmosphere. After we had eaten a gitarist, we all came together, who quickly led to people in the restaurant who stand up to sing. I don't think I ever had so much fun in a restaurant and it's especially rare to find a place with such a welcoming atmosphere and so amazing eating. the whole evening was brilliant, I felt like a one in someone's house in the Caribbean drink wine, eating good food and a fantastic time with friends! I can't wait to go back to riverlife!"
