text: Stac Polly came highly recommended by our hotel nnWe had just completed a tour of Edinburgh Castle w nowhere else to go nothing else in the vicinity we ended up arriving about min early consequently min before they opened nn Plus when travelling w parents you are eating the early bird timetable which actually works out well since we are almost always guaranteed reservations nnThere were guys still setting up for the evening invited us in the other looked incredibly apparently perturbed Gee I am sorryshall we go stand out in the rain for min while you finish your conversation Not a good start to our evening nnI likened their dark beer Caledonian Ale to more of an amber ale tried different varieties but thought they were both lacking a certain something nnStarted out w a Poached Pear w Cheese it was okay but cold Guess this is what we get for being the st to dine things right out of the fridgennBoth Mom Dad had the Salmon which they enjoyed nnMy Veggie Risotto was crunchy nuff said nnOnly Dad ordered dessert the Strawberries Cream the verdict was delish The strawberries were super sweet when combined w the cool fresh cream it was perfection nnWould be willing to give this place another try it is not like we hated our meals well I did we just were not wowed for this kind of uauaua we would probably seek elsewhere next time
