4.00All the food was very tasty. Started with the cullen skink . A very hardy, flavorful soup. The haggis was well prepared, similar to a shepard's pie without crust. The Chranacan was delicious, was prepared like an ice cream. Tried 2 whiskey that were both good. Finish with scones at a bakery. They were just ok. More like a biscuit than a scones. Not enjoyable after whiskey. Overall a nice experience. Several dishes were shared and still, portions were just way too large.
Carlos is fanastic
