Excellent hidden gem in the city centre. Dinner last night was exceptional. Food is superb and very well presented. Service was very friendly and top level. On a short stay in the city but would 100% return.

We visited on Christmas Day and everything was spot on. The ambience was lovely and the Christmas menu was really delicious. Beetroot as starter was very delicious. I requested potatoes without haggis with the beef dish, and the team were happy to accommodate it which I really appreciated. Service was very good and attentive, and the restaurant felt clean and cosy.

Wow! What a great place! Service was incredible, great value for money and the most tender duck I've ever had. I came here for a little celebration and it's become one of my new favourites. Very very impressed - thank you!!
