text: A funky little bar that serves up the good the bad andwell ugly is just plain mean is not itnnI was taken here by a friend who is been many times before claims the burgers are the best in Edinburgh and it is a generally nice bar The layout was nice and big inside a good vibe I can see why it is popular GOODnnThe service was incredibly slow I hate to be the pushy impatient customer and perhaps harbour too much of that British politeness but my patience was worn very thin It was not busy there were two barmaids on service But as we were placed in a corner just out of their eye sight they never looked round to see if we were ready to order drinks food or needed anything There were times they were both standing chatting and laughing whilst our menus were shut and our order needing taken I know waiting staff can change day on day but for me this soured the whole experience BADnnThen we ordered our starters and mains two of the best burgers in Edinburgh please and only once our starter had come out did they tell us the burgers had run out BADnnThat had been the whole point of our visit but as we would already started our starter we could not get up and walk out They would trapped usnnThe starter itself was delicious The antipasti platter had fresh meats cheeses breads all actually very genuine considering it was a standard monoculture pub Also a big portion but priceynnAs we had to reorder our mains the waitress brought us menus again And then again proceeded to ignore us for a good minutes even when our starter was finished our menus shut and she knew she would already messed up the order once And when I did finally get her attention and call her over her response was oh right yeah forgot about that oops BAD VERGING ON UGLYnnLuckily we had a Sunday afternoon to kill and we are both fairly laid back people Had the starter not been tasty I would have been distinctly unimpressed with the place Ok burgers and other main dishes do sell out But it was the way the whole ordeal was handlednnIm sure Treacle can give good customer service if other waitresses are on and when the burgers are not sold out I hope they are super tasty It is got a nice atmosphere But I would not say it was reliably one of the better bars for lunch or drinks in this area
