• "The bartenders kept looking over at us every 5 minutes like they’ve never seen two men on a date before."

• "Unfortunately the toilets smelled of urine but it was decently clean inside."

Value

Pros:

• "Love this place and unlike 90% of Edinburgh they do not hassle you to move off your table after 2 hours."

• "The price is very expensive for the portion of food that you get."
• "The steak was also very fatty, cheap cuts."
• "They have a few vegan options, but they were pretty bland and the portions sizes were small for the money."
• "Including drinks it was just short of £50 and to my mind over priced."
• "Great tasting cocktails, even if they are a little on the pricey side at 9 pounds each."
• "It is not a cheap spot but it is in the centre of town so that's to be expected."
