خانه خرد کن

We were craving for some good meat after the hike at Arthur’s Seat. Ordered sourdough steak, and fillet steak and a Mac cheese for the LO. The food was good overall. Good meat and the seasoning was good. However I felt the sourdough steak might be a little bit over cooked so the edge of the meat was a bit dry.
The fries were the most amazing discovery as I ve never seen such fine cut of fried!

Food was excellent—service was some of the worst I’ve experienced. It took over an hour for our food to come after we had ordered with no explanation or apology. Once we were served we were asked how everything was. I said the food was great but it took way too long. We had already finished the bottle of wine we had ordered so I asked to be compensated a second bottle for the wait. The waitress seemed agreeable to that but said she would have to ask her manager. After a while the manager came by and asked how things were, so I repeated my claim. She said the food took so long because some in our party had ordered their steaks medium-well and that it takes 45 minutes to cook a steak to that temperature! I was astonished. Not only was there no apology the inference is that it was our fault for ordering a steak medium well! I said they should put that on their menu—that’s assuming it is true—or at least tell people when they order. The manager shrugged and walked off and we had no service for the rest of the meal. Terrible customer service.

Firstly, atmosphere.
The arch literally melts away with a unique hanging couch design i haven't seen anywhere in Edinburgh, Glasgow or Scotland, the tables are notably well placed although it may seem a little far to reach for some it lends to good posture and comfort.
And before I talk about the food, let's address the amazing service, i often struggle with the Scottish service sector, few can deny that some scots just shouldn't. But this is something else, not overly attentive, but accommodating and delightful, will chat and follow up but don't push it or disturb. Knowledgeable and down to earth, extremely polite and just good staff.

And one more thing...
There's a icebox filled with crustations at the bar. Well played.

Now food
I ordered a rib eye (medium well, i don't like blood) and the famous Mac and cheese, and everyone else got the sirloin. (Imaginative aren't they)

To start i got tempura prawns and mosteralla.

The cheese was well olive oiled, peppered and presented. It was also really good fresh mozzarella which is the main thing here, the peppers were also really good and crunchy.
The prawns came with puree tomatoes that weren't great, over seasoned and a bit dried. However the prawns themselves were a multifaceted experience of batter and "squish" that you only get in premium seafood, 5 stars for a starter, no head but that's a UK thing.

Steaaaaks
The ribeye was amazing, without sauce perfect, and with peppercorn, the best steak in the east coast besides Hawksmoor, for half the price.
Enough said.
The Mac and cheese was HOT but creamy
And all those little burnt bits were delicious.
The sirloin was delicious and well charred and salted.

Overall amazing atmosphere, menu and staff.

Also the business cards are chamfered, 5 stars for design. (If you can't tell i came with Napier students)
