Q: This place has a beautiful ambiance and the food is very flavorful! We split the tuna - so good! The heated salt block was a unique touch. The duck was good and very rich in taste. Service was friendly and classy. They wear bolo's...that immediately gains points in my book. OPTIONS:

Q: If you go down to the woods today, you're sure for a big surprise. Ok, so the Water of Leith isn't exactly "the woods" and there are no bears hiding here. But once you're strolling by the river, with greenery all around, you feel as though you're miles away from the city. And there are actually some wonderful hidden gems along the way. The Water of Leith walkway is 35km long. That's really quite long. But there are many, many entrance and exit points. I started on the Walkway at Dean Village (which is in itself a glorious, old-town charm spot) and came out at the Leith Docks. It was a lovely amble, that took a few hours, and along the way we passed some monuments, cyclists, joggers, a very excited dog and his stick. We walked through tunnels of trees with branches and leaves so thick you couldn't see the sky (so it really did feel like "the woods") and we side-tracked through parts of the streets, to be taken back onto the path again. I admit, that was confusing. At times you need to leave the walkway by the river and cut out onto the streets again, through one or two areas that felt a bit...unsafe...and then were back on the path again. But it was hassle free and not too confusing when you realised what was happening. For a pre-brunch Sunday afternoon stroll or bikeride this walkway is ideal. There are also fishing spots, a tourist centre, conservation activity and, as the piste de resistence, the Antony Gormley artwork that provides a "where's wally?" guessing game for fun along the way. There are several metal-cast statues of Antony Gormley scattered along one part of the walkway. We only spotted 3 but apparently there are 6. Let me know if you see more! OPTIONS:

Q: I have a love hate relationship with this place. It's tough to write a review of that. It's the closest place to my place of work that's open before 7am so it has that. I like The Coffee Shop at Agritopia because they're cheaper and yummier but I gotta be at work by 7am. Ugh. So here I go. I will tell you the couple that owns this place are VERY VERY NICE. I like that. I like the looks of the inside, but there's no one there ever. That's sad. But they're nice. The God vibe (lots of church people go here) isn't overpowering for people who don't dig that. But here are the flaws. There's a barista guy who has dark hair and a goatee who doesn't welcome customers. Twice in a week I went in and was #2 in line. He ignored me. Then people came in behind me and he literally took them before me! I was furious. I've since seen him again and he seems to try to be nice now, but it was very annoying. Now I have tried 6 drinks in here since July, and I don't like any of them. The pre-med is a good idea but there's a weird taste to it. Ice Mocha, Toddy, everything, has a weird taste. I will keep coming back SEARCHING for a yummy something. I have never eaten here though. Also, costs too much money. OPTIONS:

Q: I would recommend this place as a great special-occasion spot. We had the $65 3-course menu with a lovely glass of malbec. I had the frisse salad with figs, confit duck, and froi gras (appetizer), pork two ways - loin and belly - (entree) and financier with almond milk ice (dessert). Husband had cauliflower soup with short rib ravioli, trout, and raspberry chocolate tart. We also got an amuse of petit fours with our dessert. Excessive, but so good! Service was great and we got to watch wine girl (lady?) get wine 3x. Not as interesting as I had imagined, but still...we'd come back. OPTIONS:
