The menu lives up to the expectations created by the elegant interior, and diners can choose from a range of classically inspired dishes with surprising twists.
The a la carte menu begins with a selection of tantalizing starters such as pan seared scallops with pea parfait, texture of pea, mint yoghurt, cucumber and beer battered scraps or the rich and hearty Cullen skink with confit potato, egg, smoked haddock and fish veloute.
The pan roasted pigeon breast with golden beetroot, beetroot ketchup, pickled beetroot, orange, watercress and juniper salt is a popular choice while vegetarian can enjoy the Jerusalem artichoke risotto with truffle foam and an artichoke crisp.
