    Absolutely charming eatery! We were made most welcome by the lovely staff. We'd had a disappointing evening up until we'd stepped across the threshold, so the Olive Branch was our "plan B" but ended up being five star across the board. From the get go, the staff were friendly and professional. Delightful original menu. We both opted for local dishes; local bass, and a dish of chicken thigh, scallop and black pudding bombe. DELICIOUS!!!!! Finished with a local cheese cheeseboard and a port. Sensational!!! It's is wonderful to find an intimate, independent eatery a little off the well- worn track, that delivers such exemplary service and food. Well done everyone! We plan to return!

    Been meaning to leave a review for this place but just never got around to it. My girlfriend and I came here back in the winter and thought it was lovely. Very friendly service, food and atmosphere. Also a generous portion of brunch! Will come again when we are next in Edinburgh!

    This was our first meal in Edinburgh and it did not disappoint!!! Our waitress was extremely helpful and even helped my wife find a place to go do her eyelashes and eyebrows! While we ate, she looked up a bunch of different places and gave her like three or four different recommendations so she definitely went above and beyond! We had the Haggis, which was absolutely amazing and we were also introduced to Irn Bru which is a MUST try if you’re in Scotland! everything we ate was delicious. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!!!
