The Southern - Edinburgh

We were here when we visited Edinburgh. it was the first of the six restaurants we wanted to visit, so we only ordered a burger we ordered the southern hühnerburger and we were served the southern bark. it was a real mistake, so we asked the server to get the southern huh instead. we had eaten some of the pommes, so we asked them to keep them and change the burger. she said it was okay and she's gonna change the whole plate, but we were just brought to the burger without the Chipotle sauce. the second server asked the first when she fries us, she said it was okay not to spoil it all day for us. it wasn't the fact that we accidentally ate bark (it's against...more
