text: We went here because we were on the Royal Mile, we were hungry and we'd eaten at Nicholson's Greyfriar's Bobby a few days ago.  So we thought GREAT!\nWe were so wrong!\nIt was crowded, the head waitress (hostess?) was grousing about lost keys to the office, it was hot (or chilly - people kept opening the windows which created a chilly breeze - we watch 4-5 parties move tables), the meal (same as we'd had at Greyfriar's) was cold (chicken & mushroom pie), overdone (beef rib pie) and both had, in our opinion, very thick pastry crusts (trying to make up for not as much inside?). The cod fish & chips was good.\nWaitstaff all appeared busy, but the dining room is upstairs, so food was coming up in a dumbwaiter.  The main bar was on the ground level, but there was a mini-bar area in the dining area.\nI don't see how anybody in a wheelchair could get to the dining room, but then again, when these buildings were built, that wasn't an issue.
