Lillian CariagaApril 19, 2015Had my first taste of haggis, had it with mash and turnips. Tasted delicious! Went for lunch, the servers were pretty busy so service just a tad slow, but very friendly otherwise.Old charm vibe.

Magnus BergströmNovember 2, 2015Perfect for an afternoon beer with friends or travel companions in Old Town, but not that many seatings. Good bar food.

Alex WitekFebruary 28, 2018If you're walking down High St, feel free to pass this up. Salmon was doused in salt, and my friend sent back her mac and cheese because it was inedible. Beer was good thoughUpvoteDownvote
