    Great place for a quick lunch. Went in and bought the set 3 course menu with a cocktail included. Entrance from the lift felt like a special entry to the restaurant. Friendly helpful staff, clean environment, comfortable chairs. Relaxing music. Great toilets. Food was if a high quality and a varied menu was available. Highly recommended.

    We enjoyed a celebratory meal here. The decor is extremely nice and all staff we encountered were very courteous and friendly. The food was delicious and so was the presentation. The service was very good too. There were four of us and we all had soft drinks. The food comprised one Scottish breakfast, one duck Benedict, one deep fried Mars bar waffle and one caramelised banana waffle. The total bill, including service charge, was £82.15.

    What an incredible dinning experience this turned out to be! The atmosphere is very unique, modern concept, and great decor. Our server Alvaro went above and beyond to ensure that we had a phenomenal dining experience. He was extremely attentive with great recommendations and always checking on us. The food was just spectacular, starting with the pig ears and the corn ribs. For the main course, we shared many dishes, and everything was excellent with great presentation. I absolutely loved my Scottish muscles as they were big, and the sauce was delicious! The pork belly was awesome, and the Duck and waffles just incredible! I highly recommend going there for a meal! Gracias Alvaro for being such an amazing host!!!
