The service was excellent, and the staff were attentive, friendly, and made us feel very welcome throughout our meal. We would definitely come back and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great meal.”

Customer Review Summary
Haggis is the dish reviewers name most, whether ordered by itself or in a lamb and haggis pie on a cold day. Close behind are the burgers, the chicken and beef pies, and the Balmoral Chicken, with nachos, fish and chips and an apple tart with tea also getting a mention. Diners call the food tasty, fresh and flavorful, and describe the upstairs dining room as cosy, with Edinburgh history shown in the wall hangings. Downstairs is the main bar, where reviewers mention real ale in kegs, handpulls and a few outdoor seats. Staff come up repeatedly as friendly and attentive, and several servers gave food and beer recommendations. The complaints are small. One reviewer found the mushy peas with the fish tepid at best, though the fish itself was lovely, and another found the ladies toilet cubicles small. One diner liked the pub enough to come back a second time.
