It consists of the Warehouse (a light and airy timbered dining area seating 72 people), the Yard (a secluded cobbled courtyard with round tables in the shade of silver birch trees), and the Shed (a cozy stone clad private dining area with a wood burning stove). The restaurant offers a range of modern Scottish cuisine using a mixture of locally sourced artisan produce, foraged ingredients and home-grown produce."

It offers a new Nordic approach to Scottish food, with set menus ranging from four to six courses, with pescatarian and vegetarian options available. Dishes include the likes of ox tartare, glazed hake and sea kale, barbecued leek with potato and smoked curd, and a delicious carrot and walnut cake."
