A nice small restaurant that was converted from a historical cottage. Food and environment are all down to the earth and natural. There are couple long tables for share booking , so you may be seated with someone you never known unless you have a group of 6 or more.
A full course of dinner offers every night. The restaurant has the up-to-date menu online, they will give you an alternative if you are somehow allergic to some food items on the menu.
Overall, the food is good but tends to be salty.  Dessert has a limited choice. Service is great .

The food was perfectly alright. The service was good. We happened to be seated next to the kitchen (open plan) and the back room so there was a lot of noise which was distracting. There are also long tables rather than individuals tables, which made me a little uncomfortable in a fine dining experience. Overall I think it was a perfectly fine experience worth going once.

The service from start to finish was flawless and so welcoming, every request was taken care of and every question was answered.
The vibes of the restaurant are so warm, homely and welcoming, it felt in the best way like I had been invited to their home for a lovely meal.
And the food, it was absolutely impeccable, perfect flavours and textures throughout. Each flavour in each dish perfectly complemented each other, I could not fault anything at all.
This is genuinely the best place I have eaten, everything was perfect, it really made my and my partners anniversary the best ever and I can’t wait to come back to Edinburgh solely for the purpose of dining here again.

Great meal to finish out our trip to Scotland! Service was very attentive, timing was relaxed but it never felt like we were waiting between course.  The food was amazing. Layered flavors a well balance plan and perfectly sized portions left us all contemplating what we had known about food.

Amazing new year dinner experience in this wee cute place close to the center and also in the middle of the wild forest of Calton hill.
Food was delicious and service was very good and staff very friendly. They forgot the first dish of the set menu and they apologized and gave our wine as a gift for the mistake. The Italian waitress was very attentive with us and very talkative. Highly recommended this place and I will definitely come back.
