    We only had wine but getting charged 10% for service for delivering 2 bottles of wine to the table. Are waiting staff not paid to wait on tables why are the customers being automatically charged an extra service charge. It’s becoming a joke.

    The bar service was exceptionally slow for drinks. The place wasn’t even busy. Quite expensive for standard food. We weren’t impressed and won’t go back.

    Love this venue, pur favourite bar in Edinburgh. The food is lovely, the staff are fab but the service is soo slow. Maybe it is intentional for quick turnover of tables. It won’t stop me returning, but we would probably spend a lot more of the service for more drinks was quicker. Also trying to get a staff member’s attention to ask for the bill is a challenge.
