Very good service and excellent fish dishes. Raw tuna starter was fab, as was the roast stone bass. Son had the cullen skink - loved it, and the scallops with caesar salad. The chocolate mousse cake with warm caramel sauce looked absolutely wonderful - but he refused to share! Very glad we managed to get a table at very short notice.

Good service, ok food. So wouldn't rush back given quality of food versus cost. Service was ok even with 40 min wait for starters ( didn't need to be cooked). Although I didn't expect large portions they were particularly small.

I only noticed that there were "specials" after I had ordered. When I mentioned to the waitress that she did not tell me there were "specials" she just looked at me! There was only one waitress working two might have been better. The food was good.

Food was lovely, mussel starter especially! Unfortunately we were running late for the theatre so never had time for pudding. The meal was expensive but it was top quality ingredients and well prepared. Also unfortunately the music selection wasn't to my taste but I'm sure most people probably enjoyed it (I just hate The Beatles and Elvis) Staff were great and ordered us a taxi to make sure we were okay for our evening.

Delicious food.. But the scallops were overpriced and the portion was more like a starter. The scallops were very small and looked like they had been split in half .. The seabass was very good and definitely better value..

Nice place, easy to get to (quick subway ride from Buchanan Street), good service and EXCELLENT food. Wanted (almost) everything on the menu ... strange to see 'duck' as an option in a fish restaurant - but I suppose there's always one. Loved the place!

Food was excellent and a treat to the taste buds .Having a large appetite I found having the additional chips helped to fill me up. The only downside was the draft from the door and the service was a bit slow for the main course even though the restaurant was not overly busy. Overall the experience was good and I would recommend it if like me you are fond of fish meals.

A lovely restaurant. Small but with really nice décor. The food was terrific. Fresh with great flavours. Tried crabmeat to start along with the soda bread. Followed this with fish stew and stone bass. The wine list is pricey but the pinot grigio was really nice and fruity. Would definitely try again.

Quite limited menu, but enough choice. Food served piping hot and was delicious. Staff attentive. Thought portions (mussels for starter and stone bass for main) were quite small. The mussels could also have been served with some bread to soak up the sauce. Stone bass again lovely but served with a few asparagus spears a slice of black pudding and some tiny drops of piped decoration looked pretty but didn't satisfy my appetite and would have benefitted from being served with some potato/pasta/polenta or rice, without having to order extra chips. My partner's starter - prawn cocktail was standard fare. She enjoyed her crab linguine and found the portion adequate, although there didn't seem to be much crab in it.

Fantastic quality food and service. Great place. Starter of fish cake and another of crab mayonnaise excellent. Main of paper baked bass and tandoor seabass again top quality. Very well cooked, not over cooked and flavours very nicely balanced. No so keen on the desert, but we are not avid desert eaters. Staff lovely and friendly, nice atmosphere, easy to get to.

Beautiful fresh fish and lovely friendly service. The mussels started is big enough for two and it was a nice cosy atmosphere, perfect for a cold windy night. So easy to get to being right next to the underground station.

Surprisingly small (less than 10 tables) & cosy. Very conveniently situated right next to Shields Road subway station and a multi-storey car park. After lunch you can cross the road to visit Scotland Street school (free entry). Food was very good, if a little salty. A 60's compilation as background music. Choice of sweets was interesting as too often it seems like an afterthought when you visit other restaurants. Lunch came to £60 for two people with a dish of olives for tasters and 2 starters, 2 main courses and one sweet course plus soft drinks.

We had an excellent lunch at this small restaurant, eating from the lunch/early evening menu, prior to a visit to the Scotland Street School Museum just across the road. And they have an excellent wet-fish shop in an adjacent building - that's tomorrow's meal sorted too

Great choice from Early Evening Menu Would thoroughly recommend the starter of Thai spiced poached salmon & peanut salad which was a delight. The main course of crisp fried bass fillet, roast pepper salad, olives, goat’s cheese, pesto was a fantastic combination of flavours.
