Customer Review Summary
The wine and cocktail list draws consistent praise, with reviewers singling out a specific Margarita from the bar and repeated mentions of a front-of-house staffer's passion for the wines on offer. Close behind, the food itself is called delicious and inventive, with one diner describing a "beautiful and intimate setting with a flair of Nordic decor" and another praising the evening decor as spectacular. Service comes up again and again as attentive, lovely, and conversational, and several reviewers mention booking ahead weeks in advance to secure a table for dinner. No recurring complaints surface across the reviews, only consistent praise for the food, drinks, and staff. One visitor who travelled from Edinburgh called the evening well worth the trip to spend with loved ones. The clearest recurring detail is staff going out of their way for guests, including one account of the team helping make a daughter's 30th birthday celebration feel special.

“Great restaurant with fabulous food. The delightful barman produced a gorgeous Margarita. Kyle is charming front of house and passionate about his wines. Hamish, chef, turned out the nicest food I have eaten for a while, and certainly the best in the Melrose area.”

Location
How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
