We had a really good meal here. The service from “V” was wonderful, the portions were hearty, the steak was the best we’ve had in a long time. The ambiance was wonderful. It was full of happy people having a good evening.

From start to finish the food was delicious. The ambiance was extremely pleasant and the staff all extremely polite and friendly without being overbearing. Service was excellent and the restaurant was fairly busy but no laboured wait for any of the courses. Would dine here again.

    Fully Scottish oriented meal. Haggis, neeps n tatties, Cranachan and a flight of Jura whiskies. Perfect end to our stay in Edinburgh. Service from Vi was excellent and knowledgeable about the whiskies. Best pub for food and drink on Grassmarket. Highly recommended
