So the rave about this restaurant was heard across multiple people in Edinburgh.. It is meant to be a "Pub" food but gourmet style. I decided i had to go try it with my colleague so we could have more choices to order and try different things.
Location was not far but not walking distance to the city center so an easy 10 mins uber ride got us here easily. When walking in, you actually arrive into the bar area walk in and turn left to get into the restaurant.
Greeted by a group of friendly staffs that was very helpful in sorting us out and helping keep my shopping bags in their office. Anyway... focusing back on food...
Starters
My review:- Too hard to chew would taste great if you cook it with oyster sauce and kai lan? That's my point of view. I think its just selling the "uniqueness" as only this restaurant has it
DIsh:- Home Made Vege crisp
My review:- You really can't go wrong with this.. It makes me miss 28 Hong Kong Street missing the green parts of the chips it taste exactly the same. Best beer/alcohol snack
DIsh:- Scallops with Bacon and i cant remember (From the specials menu)
My review:- Super yummy!! This is so yummy i wish i didn't share it with anyone. They did serve 3 pieces of scallops which was cooked perfectly and dances beautifully in your mouth with the sauces and stuff....
My review:- YES it was fresh... and local, so you will realize it is not super giant ones but super fresh! nothing needed reviewing on fresh oysters
Dish:- Goats cheese with walnut
My review :- Very overpowering cheese taste with great puff pastry and watercress salad. You need to really love cheese like i do to enjoy this dish.. and its a rich creamy texture :)
Mains
Dish:- Salmon Wellington (From their specials menu)
My review:- Was hoping it to be all out amazing... but unfortunately it was nothing to rave about. Taste was so...so... although yes the salmon was fresh. Could be a little more "oomph" but it didnt do it. But is a safe dish if you are looking for something easy and comfortable
Dish:- Steak pie with bone marrow sauce
My review:- This was my favorite dish. The steaks inside was so well cooked it was soft and tender...and the bone marrow was served and mixed together in the pie taste was great
My review :- Fish was very fresh and a great mix of tasteful combination. Although it taste like any other cod fish with lentils in other restaurants i had back in Malaysia. but overall great taste.
We ate too much so had to skip dessert.
My rating would be
Taste:- 6/10
Value for money:- 7/10 (Total price for above was around 130 GBP where some food was reasonable)
Service:- 8/10
Environment:- 7/10 small cosy place which gets really packed when was there that has no space to walk out.
