text: There is no denying that this bar is in a great location tucked between Princes Street and George Street It should be the ideal place to meet at the start of a night out But somehow every time I drink or eat here I always leave remembering exactly why it is been ages since the last time I was therennTheres nothing that stands out as being particularly wrong with it it is just very much a case of style over substance I ate dinner here once and although you would think there is very little you can do to mess up pasta with arrabiatta sauce and grilled chicken especially when you pay ua for it the past was so overcooked it was more like drinking a smoothie than eating a plate of pennennDrinks are a bit better the cocktail list is as long as your arm and as long as they have the ingredients behind the bar they can make you whatever you want whether its on the list or not The only problem is that it really depends on who serves you I was there the other night and my first white wine spritzer genuinely had more soda than wine in it and cost me ua When I ordered my second I was served by a different barman who actually used a measurer for the wine unlike the first guy and only charged me uannIf that has not put you off the duecor and general feel to the place is great it successfully attracts a mix of older students and young professionals thanks to it is mix of cosy corner tables with sofas to the white egg chairs suspended from the ceiling on in the smoking area Do not sit in one after your second drink as it will take you a good ten minutes to try and clamber out of itnnI would not eat here but on the basis of the atmosphere and the general relaxed feel of this place I would go back for drinks if I were in the area
