Deacon Brodies, Edinburgh

Returned to Edinburgh and took a group of friends for lunch in October 2009. After a lengthy wait, which is to be expected, we enjoyed a very nice meal. The young staff were friendly and reasonably attentive. The only thing that marred the experience was the surly barmaid. When I asked the waitress for the bill, the barmaid snapped at me that she was busy and I would just have to wait. Apart from the fact that I had actually been talking to the waitress, if it is the barmaids responsibility to issue bills, then a simple "Be with you in a minute" would be acceptable
