text: Loved spotting The Dog empire during my show long weekend trip to Edinburgh.  Awesome and funky design and great restaurant concepts (The Dog, UnderDog, SeaDog and Amore Dog).  Wished I had more time to try all of 'em!  \n\nMy flank steak salad was ok (2.5 stars), a bit tough but the sweet balsamic reduction was just the right tough for the bitter arugula.  Boyfriend's mushroom risotto (4.0 stars)  was decadent and cooked perfectly.  To ended the meal we had the tiramisu (3 stars), unfortunately, the dish lacked the punch of espresso, was chilled as I like the desert and the dark chocolate cocoa powder (when taken in a mouthful) overpowered the light dessert.  We ended up scrapping the top power off the dish.
