Customer Review Summary
Harbour views from the upper floors and the sky bar are what reviewers mention most, with diners describing a window table overlooking the water and an early visit to watch the sun go down. Food draws close praise, including the hoisin beef spring rolls, the brisket, the scallop scampi, the salmon and the sea bass, and several call the prices reasonable. The afternoon tea and the supper club also earn warm comments. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and attentive, one team carrying out a birthday cake to light the candles as a surprise, and another taking care over allergies. The main criticism comes from one reviewer who found the pre-ordered two-course meal of prawn cocktail and scampi and chips basic and slow to arrive. Another would like a couple more vegan options. One diner was the only table in the sky bar on a Friday night, and a family celebrating a birthday during the Tall Ships Race found service still very good despite the crowds.

“We went for an afternoon tea, was lovely. A varied menu of savoury and sweet items, and great drinks menu. I loved the view from the sky bar, it was a nice atmosphere. Felt special and like a real treat without being overly fancy or stuffy :p . Looking forward to going again.”

“Went as part of the local restaurant week and were very impressed , sat at a window table on the 1st floor overlooking the busy Aberdeen harbour and were immediately dealt with by the very friendly staff , we both had the hoisin beef spring rolls to start and then I had the brisket and the gf had the posh scallop scampi , fabulously tasty , beautifully cooked and all for a very reasonable price , will definitely be back for a proper meal ,well recommended”

“We enjoyed an exceptionally good dinner in the sky bar area for the supper club. The dishes were created with a lot of effort and imagination, and we would order every single one of them again. Clearly some talented people in the kitchen! Service was great too (very charming waitress), as was the wine. We were the only diners on a Friday night after 8pm which is a travesty for such a great deal and excellent food we got. Only took one picture of my dessert, the other dishes were enjoyed too quickly!”

“Had a celebratory lunch for my wife’s birthday with family. The food was lovely and very good service, despite it being extremely busy as there was a huge event taking place nearby (Tall Ships Race)”

“Great venue and the staff were excellent. I was a disappointed with the food though. It was quite basic, and as we had pre ordered I was surprised by how long it took to arrive. 2 courses was £30 which was a Prawn Cocktail Starter and Scampi and Chips for the main course.”
