"I've been lunching at (Insert Name of the Day) for maybe 5 years twice a year. So this will be brief run through of my experience over the years. In the beginning I was astounded by the quality of the cooking for the price. And then the wine list got better. And then the format changed late last/early this year. So for the first visit under the new name, we constructed a meal that looked pretty similar to the old, and the wine list was at its best. And now to the latest visit I'm not a big fan of the new format, but we gave it one last hurrah. The new wine list is simplified to the near minimum, and cheaper than it was. There was nothing wrong with the wine, it was just standard quaffing with no great aspiration, and a price to match. The flat iron steak was well executed, and somebody in the kitchen still knows what they're doing. If they've gone from building an interesting menu (to me at any rate) you wonder if it's still the same person, and what keeps them there now? So the 3 stars is a reflection of what was, to what is, and who knows what the future holds. I just know sadly I won't be part of it, and like all flesh, it's time is done, and we move on."

Used an Itison voucher for a main for two along with a drink. Nice place with efficient and friendly service. Food was delicious and was well worth upgrading to the flat iron steak which was cooked to perfection.

4 of us had an early dinner here, and enjoyed the atmosphere and service a cosy place to linger with friends. Whilst the burgers were ace, the fish batter was soggy and tasteless and it felt like the fish was frozen.

A great spot with a local feel to it reasonable and and delicious dishes. We enjoyed the beer wine selection; there are lots of different dining and cocktail options available. Fast, friendly and professional service. Good location around the University of Edinburgh, and the King's Theatre.

Used a gifted Itison voucher for the sharing board for 2 with bottle of wine . Warm cheery welcome. Mixed board came with slices of 2 different hams, 3 cheeses (Applewood Smoked, Highland Murder Blue Brie), olives, sun-dried tomatoes, gherkin, coleslaw chutney with oatcakes. A venerable wee lunchtime feast! A very nice bottle of red just finished it off nicely! Would recommend. Visualizza piatti

I bought an ItIsOn voucher for 10 small plates for 4 people with a glass of wine. See photo attached. Tried nearly every single small plate available apart from the soup and the inly one we didnt like was the houmous (a bit chalky tasting/dry). Everything else was tip top and the house white wine was decent too. Definitely had a good experience and would go back again in future. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Restaurant was clean and service was prompt. Keep up the good work!

My friend and I visited this restaurant and were disappointed. We ordered a starter which, when it arrived, was not what was advertised on the menu. We ate it but mentioned to the waiter that it was not what we had expected. He walked away as my friend was saying this to him but did begrudgingly apologise before disappearing. However,although he reappeared, he did not come back to the table to ask us if we wished to have anything else and we waited for at least 30 minutes before we decided we would just go. There was nobody else in the restaurant so it certainly wasnt because it was busy. Wouldnt go back.

A group of friends lunched here before heading to the King's. The female who served us (didn't get her name unfortunately) was really efficient, there was 12 of us and we were all served at the same time with drinks, starters and mains. She asked how the food was and if we needed more drinks etc. Everybody's food looked delicious and fresh, my starter was haggis which was delicious, the spicy sauce defo was spicy. My main was the flat iron steak which again was delicious, the only people who didn't clear their plates were the ones who had the chicken burger, they didn't eat all the bun but ate everything else. Our group does the Panto at the King's every year and we have all agreed next year... Visualizza piatti

When we arrived there was no one in the restaurant. We were aware it may have just opened, however, after waiting 5-10 minutes started to get confused. Attempted to call for service and when someone finally appeared- they asked, “can I help?” rather than an apology for the wait/lack of front of house staff. Service is rather patchy. Friendly, but definitely needs refining. We were then surprised to get half way through our food to discover there is three members of staff, so this initial wait was even more confusing. The £5 lunch is good and you get what you pay for. Haggis is lovely and nice fresh fish. Should consider revising lunch menu to offer “upgrades” and try up-sell extra sides/smal...

Visited for a late dinner on a Friday night. Waited for people sitting at 'our ' table to be moved and was shocked to hear staff member tell the people moving that they had to move because we were going to order food so they wanted to prioritise keeping us happy rather than them. There was no reserved sign on the table and I 'd have been angry if I was them. Waited quite a while for a menu to appear, and it didn 't until we asked for one. A second staff member admitted they 'd forgotten about us. Made our choices from the menu, then were told one of them had run out so ordered again. Food was below average. Chicken katsu focaccia had decent chicken but the focaccia was hard to eat as it had...
