rude owner-fine food
Food here is excellent. My wife and I have up to recently had many meals here mainly as a treat as it can be expensive. We even had our wedding here.
However the last 3 occasions were marred by poor service and an even ruder owner who couldnt be bothered to respond to genuine and politely made complaint -by us - an honest hard working middle aged couple . Avoid even if not easily offended.

Quality Tapas in W. Yorkshire
This Tapas bar/restaurant is run by two guys who have an excellent pedigree in restaurant running. The chef fly's regularly to Catalonia to source ingredients. The front of the house- Chris is charm and professionalism personified and makes everyone feel relaxed and welcome. They will not allow you to just come and drink as they belive that that drunken rowdy groups would detract from the ambiance and excellent tapas - My wife and I agree. What to have? well everything, there are daily specials as well as cured iberico ham, Picos blue cheese, potatoes and lamb in a picante sauce, calamari etc. All cooked and prepared to the highest quality. Paper menus and a pencil are given to diners to tick off their choices and hand to the waiter. A fun, genuine experience and a warm welcome

Rising Stars
This newish restaurant serving modern British/French food is run by a young couple Lisa and Paul and is a very welcome addition to a stretch of the Royal Mile which is not known for its quality eating places. Paul is the chef and creative genius and Lisa is the front of house and business brains. Both have to be admired for delivering quality local ingredients to the diner with relaxed friendly charm and sophistication. The menu includes Roast Cod done with chorizo in a basque kind of way, Scottish beef fillet, scallops with smoked ham and a rocket and cheese tart. The local Scottish Cheese board is worth the visit on its own. A fantastic glass of Oreades Sauvignon blanc and an intersting Tasmainian Pinot noir set the bill at £80 for two. A must if visiting Edinburgh
