Edinburgh Nights Part 2

We left Petits Paris all smiles and good humour and sauntered up The Grassmarket towards Victoria Road.
Not ready to go home, we had the idea that one more drink in Maxim's would round of the evening very nicely.
Maxim's is ideally situated on a sort of roof top veranda just below the castle and it should have been another enjoyable experience.
Sadly it was a big disappointment. Below the veranda in another restaurant on Victoria Road something was burning and the smell of old chip oil was a bit off putting. Thankfully we were not directly above the restaurant or we would have been shrouded in smoke too.
It was ages before a waitress took our order and this she did very grudgingly though we tried hard to make her smile.
The Wine was very good but there was no point in staying for more. The service was so bad we would have been sober by the time we got another drink from that miserable waitress.
