Overview
This fantastic city centre restaurant with beautiful view of the city is located in Castle Street , almost on the corner with George Street and can be found on the 3rd floor. on street level, there is level access and 2 lifts that will take you to the 3rd floor. When exiting the lift there are a few steps that take you up to the restaurant but there is a white door which is the wheelchair lift that takes you straight into the restaurant. Once there it is level access with plenty space to get around, although one drawback is the tables are quite close together, so if busy then no real privacy.
Transport & Parking
Considering its city centre location, there are accessible parking bays almost directly outside the restaurant. There is an excellent bus service nearby and the tram stop on Princes Street is approx 10 minute walk away.
Access
The only minor issue is you have to get 2 separate lifts to the restaurant. A main lift from the ground floor to the 3rd floor, then change into a wheelchair lift to get you up a few steps into the restaurant. The only other issue that may be an issue to some is, you have to keep the wheelchair lift button pressed in, which some may find a problem if they have limited mobility in their arm/hand.
Toilets
Unfortunately, I can't rate the accessible toilets as I was not in it.
