Highly recommend the mussels starter -- there is some magic in that sauce. The gnocchi were so soft and fresh. I had a shrimp, tomato, and focaccia special and enjoyed it very much. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE FOCACCIA. I've never had it like this before, seemed like it was grilled or cooked in a press, and they added the perfect amount of rosemary and flaky salt. Yum. Also ordered a side of the Italian broccoli cooker in garlic, which was a very generous portion. Had a delicious panna cotta dessert and an affogato to finish off the meal. Perfection!

They both had fresh ingredients and were cooked properly, but I will admit, the pizza could have used a little pizzazz to kick it up a notch. I'm not sure what it's missing, but I felt like it was a little bland maybe due to the potatoes. Maybe it's meant to appeal to the local taste but that's just my opinion. Staff was great, as was the cleanliness of the joint, and the location is really such a great spot.

After seeing the high reviews on Yelp, I decided to make a reservation for this restaurant. We…read moretrekked up the steps of Advocate's Close to get there. When we arrived at noon (opening time), the restaurant wasn't too busy. There is an impressive bar downstairs with many whiskies. We were led upstairs to the dining area. There is outdoor dining too that would be nice if the weather was warmer. Cool vibe, but it is kind of dark inside the stone walls. The menu is Scottish-focused with seasonal ingredients. We didn't want to overeat, so we decided to share a starter and a main. We got the Scottish venison fritters, which were ok. We enjoyed the pappardelle pasta (roast pumpkin and pecorino sauce, wild mushrooms, spinach, bacon and poppy seed crumb, crispy sage). It was flavorful and didn't feel too heavy. Staff were friendly and it was an enjoyable lunch.

TLDR; - Avoid carbonara - overall average food quality…read more- Do not take the table (near fire exit) i.e if it's not inside - Inattentive staff - Skip if it's a special occasion for you Update: The response of the restaurant is even more disappointing to read, for not owning the mistake & pushing the blame on the customer shows a lack of intent to improve. Lies about plates being 'sparkling clean' / 'ordering last minute', probably trying to build some narrative, proves the hospitality we were given. My review: All in all, a pretty sub par experience for the ratings & cost. I would strongly say skip if it's special ocassion. We didn't complaint while we were there, because it was a special day for us & given the staff's behaviour it would have just made it worse for us, but leaving a review hoping it doesn't ruin your special occasion. Came here for my wife's birthday but we were truly disappointed by the experience here. Noise - we came here for an experience, all we could hear was disturbances / loud noises from a table next to us which wasn't under control but maybe pays a huge cheque so the staff tolerated it & never nudged them to keep it down. Staff - When requesting for another table as it was a special day for us, they denied so we politely asked for a table just next to us which was empty at the time which they mentioned is reserved, few guests came there made a similar request to move inside, were later moved to inside table upon request although we requested it previously. This table stayed empty through the whole time we were there, shows inattentiveness of the staff. They did indeed come to check-in on the food once everything was over. At some point they even opened the fire exit behind to let the smell of garbage inside, which was appalling to us. Waiters when taking order hints you to order more even though there is sufficient time left (several people ordered at least 30-45 mins after we ordered), don't expect such hospitality from a great restaurant with supported reviews, we noticed a similar pattern on a table alongside. Food - Lastly the food itself was just below average & nothing special, I would NOT recommend the carbonara (should have read other reviews about the same which calls this out), or riggtoni (runny sauce) both of which we ordered, sadly even though we're somebody who never leaves the food we couldn't finish carbonara. The presentation is as if not effort has been put into the food as you can see in the pictures.
