Lovely cosy restaurant in temporary home at the moment i believe but still very nice. The staff were very helpful and friendly and the lunch time food was lovely. The pannini was very nice and the veggie haggis was to die for i loved it. Very nice wine menu and loved the whisky choices available to accompany your food.Reasonable cost as well considering the location.
