We visited 2 times while we visited Edinburgh. Very busy place ! The staff was friendly and hard working. We enjoyed our meals of steak and ale pie, stovies and sticky toffee pudding! The food was always piping hot.

We literally walked the streets and decided this was our best option. Could not have been happier! As two vegetarians on our first day in Scotland, we had low expectations. The wait staff was fantastic - warm, kind, inquisitive, could go on and on. The wait is long! (But it was Fringe and Tattoo.) Worth it. (Got a buzzer.) Food was excellent. We sat upstairs and had a delightful time. In fact, so good, we returned for dinner a few hours later before going to the Tattoo. It was a step back in time but the food is very modern and staff a delight.

Great traditional Scottish pub, we were there when the 6 Nations Scotland Vs France match was on and it was buzzing. Great atmosphere very friendly, bar staff were rushed off their feet. Would definitely recommend and would return.

It's very crowded, being situated near the castle end of the Royal Mile, where hordes of tourists congregate. The staff are polite and you can get a table upstairs without trouble if willing to wait. The food is quite good and the menu appears to be the duplicate of that in The Mitre. Prices are moderate.
