"Friends I had birthday lunch here yesterday I must confess to being disappointed. We 've eaten here numerous times in the past. The food was lovely. We were seated by the manager (perhaps? who was attentive however the rest of the service was poor. Although their online menu showed 1/2 lobsters as an option (something I 've enjoyed in the past here it was not on the menu. I asked if it was available (there were 1/2 lobster options on surf turf with scallops was told no. No I 'll check with chef, make enquiries, just no. I was told it was available (on their Jan offer on a Thursday well it was Saturday so not much help today! I ended up ordering a cheaper option. Starters were all delicious wee but shell in my crab mackerel tart but I can forgive that. One friends main course (was technically a starter with side if I 'm being precise was forgotten . Having worked in a number restaurants in my younger years I am astounded the chefs didn 't query why only 3 mains were being ordered when there were 4 covers. In fairness they removed her starter from the bill without quibble. The waitress offered to keep her side warm however my friend asked for a fresh side to arrive with her meal not sure whether that was carried out or not. For another friend 's main, the muscle that attaches the scallop to the shells had not been cut prior to cooking so they were somewhat difficult to remove eat. At £22 a dish we expected them to be prep 'd properly. Also had to repeatedly catch the waitresses attention when required more wine. Other two mains were tasty albeit my dish was not what I I had been looking forward to! All in all it was a disappointing lunch for somewhere we had grown fond of over the years. I 'd recommend jumping on a bus down to Leith to either their sister restaurant (although in fairness I 've not been there in a while! or The Ship Inn (for that elusive 1/2 lobster!"

"A warm welcome, friendly and attentive staff. Perhaps not the easiest of places to find, even if you do know your way around as it 's hidden away in a quiet back street in an already quiet village location. We were quickly seated on arrival and drinks soon sorted. An adequate choice on the Sunday Lunch menu, including traditional Sunday Roasts and pub classics. Vegan and vegetarian options. A nice touch that although my wife chose a main that was shown as vegan on the menu, they thoughtfully asked if she was indeed vegan (or vegetarian) before the food arrived so as to tailor accompanying veg/roasties/yorkshire pud accordingly. Starters, mains and desserts were all simply presented, without excessively flamboyant garnishes etc but that 's no criticism, just an observation the food itself was very good indeed. Really enjoyed our starter roasted asparagus with garlic mushrooms. Only minor criticism being that one of the sides (cauliflower cheese) was a bit over browned. Swiftly noted by server and a replacement offered (but declined it really was no big deal). I had the classic beer batter fish with chunky chips. Menu said mushy peas but regular petit pois were served. Superb chunky chips and chef really nailed that beer batter (apparently using Hooky ale seems to work well at any rate delightfully light batter with no soggy bits or over hard bits either). Generous portions all round, so both of us elected to leave a little room for our desserts We both enjoyed our meal and will doubtless be back at some point in the near future."
