Red Squirrel

First time I have been in here for a long time. Nice friendly staff, tables are nicely spaced out. Nice clean and tidy pub. The food was very nice too. The club sandwich was fullof ingredients and very filling. The other people had the loaded fries and said that they were excellent as well. Will be back at somepoint in the future.

I went here to dine alone around 21.15 on Thursday, and it was wonderful. The restaurant was pretty calm. They have small-company seating available (2-person booths in the back, useful for working or just being alone). Good food (they go light on the salt, very nice compared to the over-salted stuff you can get in some places). The steak was flavorful and cooked as ordered. The staff is so friendly and attentive. Music isn't too loud either. I'll probably return for lunch tomorrow. 😁

I hadn't expected to be sitting outside amid the noise and rattling of bins and deliveries of Lothian Road at 9.05 this morning, but there I was. I had a perfectly nice eggs Benedict without the bacon - at my request - and a perfectly nice cappuccino. What really stood out was the lovely and charming waitress, who not only brought the cappuccino immediately, without my even having to ask, but she very charmingly asked if I'd like salt and pepper 'but I'll let you put it on yourself.' Really friendly and delightful service.
