Huge bar and restaurant on St Andrews Square

Overview
I've been here a few times now and have always enjoyed it. Access is generally good, and access features blend into the modern design of the restaurant.
Transport & Parking
There are Lothian busses stopping nearby in the square and on Princes Street, lots of taxis available in this part of town, and nearby parking in the square and on George Street. It's also close to Edinburgh Waverley Train Station.
Access
It's generally pretty good. The main entrance doors aren't automatic, but they are large and glass so the host will usually see you and can assist. On the ground floor there is a mixture of seating types, and the space is discreetly separated into a dining area and a drinks area. The drinks area is largely made up of very tall long tables which aren't good for wheelchair users. There are plenty of other options however, including fitted booth style seating, movable tables and chairs, and armchairs. It's table service, so you shouldn't need to go to the bar unless you are just in for drinks. To get upstairs, there is a slightly precarious spiral staircase which I never enjoy going up - especially if I am carrying drinks for friends. Alternatively, there is a bight orange lift which can take you upstairs.
Toilets
Toilets are fine, but annoyingly they are upstairs.
Staff
Great staff, very friendly and helpful. You are always greeted at the door by whoever is hosting for the evening.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
It's a nice place, although I find it a little overpriced (except for the bar food which is reasonable). Drinks and food from the main menu are pretty expensive.
