This place is full of opposites.\n\nIt's a warm, welcoming atmosphere (from the buzz of chat, the piano and the smell of food) accompnied by some of the nastiest service I have ever experienced from a mamber of staff who so clearly thought I didnt belong in the Living Room that I'm suprised she didnt just come right out and say it.\n\nThe food is expensive and very nicely presented - but you either get it on a great day and the food is delicious or it is bland and tastless. Worst thing is, there is no way of telling which day is which.\n\nThe most annoying thing however, is the clientel of this place. You get (as you may have noticed from the other reviews of this place), the Edinburgh Elite mixing with people who just want some nice food and a drink. Mixing those two together isnt a great mix as at least on the side of the non-elitist's its more than a bit uncomfortable.
