extremely friendly staff , dog friendly , delicious food. it might be a good idea to book your table in advance to ensure you get a view at a sea

Russell Harrison

Warm friendly welcome and a very eclectic menu . The food (including gluten free choices ) was freshly cooked and very tasty - I will be back.

Stuart Watson

Good food and even better beers . Although the service was very up and down. Ordered some drinks during the meal and the waitress had to be reminded about them.

Ankur Sinha

Great place - extremely friendly staff - nice cocktails too.

Emma S.

Friendly and v. efficient staff , great selection of music and free WiFi , but you have to ask for the password.

Call ahead and try to book the lovely window table that looks out to the beach front ! Best table in the house!

Kate Farrell

Great food and atmosphere, lovely staff too. Avoid the tiramisu though - it's a glass of cream with a couple of sponge fingers stuck in it :-(

Vada Pav

Try the crispy breaded chicken

Andrew Girdwood

Toilets are locked and for customers only. As a frequent customer to the busy gastropub I recognise why they've had to do this but if you're dashing in from Portobello beach this will be terrible news
