Dean McVey: Oysters, oysters, oysters! The chicest place for a wee treat. Lunch here but make a reservation. For a bit of theatre for tables of two - ask to sit at the bar. The house champagne is fantastic!

Anthony Cameron: One of the best sea food restaurants I've ever been to. From my last visit I would highly recommend the sea bream curry and steak tartare.

Dean McVey: Hard to find but a gem! Go early afternoon or late at night. If sunny then take a terrace table. Eat if you can but do not leave without having an ‘Idle on Islay’. Cheap champagne too!!

Rachel K: Michelin starred Scottish food. Get the tasting menu with wine pairing (vegetarian tasting menu available). They'll give you a map showing where all the ingredients are locally sourced.
Morgan Schreiber: Forget dinner, just go straight to dessert - coffee soufflé is amazing!
Mary Harper: Painfuly, tear-jerkingly good food. Eat here. You'll never forget it.

Alex LikesFood: Great seafood paella, though it's huge! Fresh oysters and selection of wines are good too.
Odo: Nice place in Leith Waterfront. Seafood 101 so don't deviate from that, keep to the fresh platters, the seafood paella didn't work even with the fresh seafood. Full review... Read more.
Jowi Taylor: Lots of great things to recommend the food and a reasonably good (but chaotically presented) wine list but beware: the bartender has NO CLUE how to make a basic martini. Sent back two!
