    Our second visit to this excellent restaurant and, like our first, we very much enjoyed it. The ambiance is lovely, the service first class and the food is to die for! Lots of Scottish produce on the menu, the cooking and presentation of which is first class. A short but varied wine list and an interesting cocktails list too. Prices are very good for the quality of the experience; not cheap but much less than we’ve paid for similar dishes in more high profile restaurants in town. All in all, we were very happy with our meal, would recommend No11 without hesitation and we will return very soon.
