Description

Overall, the restaurant received mixed reviews, with some customers praising the excellent seafood dishes and friendly staff, while others were disappointed by the slow service and overpriced, underwhelming food. The location of the restaurant was highlighted as fantastic, offering great views of the harbor. The Silver Darling platter was recommended as a standout appetizer, along with the seafood mains such as seared Cod and shellfish linguine. Despite some negative experiences, many customers expressed a desire to return to the restaurant for its unique location, friendly staff, and delicious food.

Truly excellent food thoughtfully prepared but still giving all the benefits of comfort food. Excellent atmosphere and great view on the harbour. Great service and a solid whiskey menu. Highly recommended

This place oozes confidence and that's a great sign to good food. The menu is good offering seafood platters and various starters and mains. The restaurant overlooks the water from upstairs so the ambulance suits the sea fare. I had the mussels to start followed by seafood linguine and e everything was just perfect washed down with a crisp glass of white. Definitely a place to book when in Aberdeen. Very friendly staff who knew their stuff.

A long standing Aberdeen favourite. Lunch today was very good. Attentive but unfussy service. Nice interior with lovely views. Food service was prompt but not rushed. 8/10 for the meal. Some was flawless luxe the smoked tuna tartar, mussels and bon bons. A couple dishes were good but slightly missed the mark. The Sticky Toffee Pudding it's self was great, but the toffee sauce was over sweet. The cookery of the Monkfish, sauce and almost all the garnish was perfect. But the sampfire bhaji was a touch too dense. Would highly recommend for a special lunch or dinner.
