"My wife and I had booked a Chinese meal on the 28th September and were looking for somewhere to have some drinks prior to the meal and my wife spotted the Mercat opposite the Chinese which was absolutely perfect for us. We ordered a Cider and a Peroni and the barmaid Stacey told us to find a table and she would bring the drinks over to us. Whilst enjoying our drinks we kept seeing lovely meals being taken to vsrious tables and they all looked exceptional, very well presented and you could clearly see that everyone was really enjoying them and the lovely background music being played. We both agreed that we would return on the followimg evening and try the food as it really looked too good to miss and we were certainly not disappointed. After a couple of drinks each we both decided to go for the fish and chips and we both agreed that it was the nicest fish and chips we had had for years, everything very fresh and so tasty. We enjoyed a lovely bottle of Sauvignon blanc with the meal and my wife chose the cheese platter with olives, girkin and biscuits and I chose the icecream for our sweets, absolutely perfect. Unfortunately the lovely Stacey was not working on the evening but we did have the lovely Scott, they are a super team, so efficient, friendly, courteous and obliging. Since returning home we have never stopped talking about this wonderful evening, we both loved Edinburgh and this restaurant really was the icing on the cake. We are already talking about returning to the City and returning to this beautiful restaurant, what a find! . Well done to you all and thankyou!"

Had a fabby night out there with a group of colleagues who all agreed that the place was a true find. Food was excellent and the prices are fair. Can't fault the staff as they were polite and attentive. We will be visiting again soon.

Head bar person arrogant, lofty and bullying to 2 ladies approaching their seventies an Sunday March afternoon/evening 5 March 2pm to7pm. Would he have adopted that attitude to his Granny or tolerated it to his Granny? Don't think so.

Last week it was 5 stars this week it was 1. An average of 3. Asked for a big breakfast got what they wanted to give us and when I complained gave some extras but still not what was ordered. Challenged the server to be told I had what I asked for. This was not what I ordered. Poor customer service and unperturbed when I stated we would not be back. Word of mouth is a great advertisement or negative. View menu

Meeting up with friends for Drinks and Lunch, been to a couple of places and passed here at Lunchtime, glad we dropped in. Friendly bar staff, quickly provided drinks and menus. Great selection, and the food when it came looked good and was really tasty. Good value for money. When we were there they had an open jamming session, 4 guys, playing great songs and entertaining us, we came for the food and stayed for the music.

When we're traveling we usually try to go several different places for our meals. We ended up at this bar and kitchen for breakfast many times during a week visit. The full Scottish breakfast was brilliant. The staff, Alice and Logan, were so kind and helpful. The setting was perfectly delightful with doors open to the pavement and the sun streaming in. This place was only a block and a bit from our hotel, and was just overall lovely.
