"Came here on Christmas Eve for dinner and was unfortunately not impressed. We had a table reservation and expected to be seated in reasonable time, but was left waiting in the bar area for 25 30 minutes before being seated without any apology. For our mains, we ordered the Monkfish Satay and the Steak Sourdough. The monkfish was both fishy (a sign of it being unfresh) and under seasoned. The satay sauce was decent but did not add anything to the dish. The kimchi salt fries just tasted like regular fries with no flavour and made us think we had covid (got a test the day after and we were negative). The steak was tough and the sourdough was chewy. The straw fries were also too oily. For the sides, we had the Truffle Caesar salad, which was decent, and the Mac and cheese which again was tasteless. When it came to the bill we were asked to tip despite there already being a 10% service charge added. Having refused to add a tip and being told that service charge was not included, we were surprised with the 10% charge added to the card machine meaning that we ended up paying the extra 10% anyway. Unfortunately by the time we noticed this we had already paid. This review would’ve been 1 star, but for benefit of doubt, the place seemed understaffed and busy during this period and we didn’t get the main steak dishes that might have been better. Overall, not worth the money food was average at best and service left a lot to be desired."

"Firstly, atmosphere. The arch literally melts away with a unique hanging couch design i haven 't seen anywhere in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Scotland, the tables are notably well placed although it may seem a little far to reach for some it lends to good posture and comfort. And before I talk about the food, let 's address the amazing service, i often struggle with the Scottish service sector, few can deny that some scots just shouldn 't. But this is something else, not overly attentive, but accommodating and delightful, will chat and follow up but don 't push it or disturb. Knowledgeable and down to earth, extremely polite and just good staff. And one more thing... There 's a icebox filled with crustations at the bar. Well played. Now food I ordered a rib eye (medium well, i don 't like blood) and the famous Mac and cheese, and everyone else got the sirloin. (Imaginative aren 't they) To start i got tempura prawns and mosteralla. The cheese was well olive oiled, peppered and presented. It was also really good fresh mozzarella which is the main thing here, the peppers were also really good and crunchy. The prawns came with puree tomatoes that weren 't great, over seasoned and a bit dried. However the prawns themselves were a multifaceted experience of batter and squish that you only get in premium seafood, 5 stars for a starter, no head but that 's a UK thing. Steaaaaks The ribeye was amazing, without sauce perfect, and with peppercorn, the best steak in the east coast besides Hawksmoor, for half the price. Enough said. The Mac and cheese was HOT but creamy And all those little burnt bits were delicious. The sirloin was delicious and well charred and salted. Overall amazing atmosphere, menu and staff. Also the business cards are chamfered, 5 stars for design. (If you can 't tell i came with Napier students)"
