"We loved the Clachan Grill! This is gonna sound like a long story. But it's not. We ended up in Ballater on a cold rainy Sunday afternoon in December. The Clachan Grill was the only place open and weren't we lucky. We were the only diners and were greeted by the manager who served us as well. We sat at a table next to a cozy sleepy fire in a wood burning stove. The ambiance was perfect after a day at Balmoral Castle, Crathie Kirk and the ruins of St Manir's Church. We ordered some beers, and for supper chose the Turkey Roulade Sunday Roast and the Chicken Sunday Roast, each served with brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots, bread and cranberry compote. It was all so delicious and they could not have been nicer or more relaxed. Other diners arrived closer to supper time and a din filled the dining room. For afters, I ordered a dram of Royal Lochanagar Whisky awakened with a few drops of water, and learned about the bartenders favourite whiskies to try as we continue our visit to Scotland. We could have stayed for hours, but we ended our evening short. Unlike this review. Sorry, turned out to be long after all."

We were wowed by not only the food but the service and the ambiance. It was peaceful and delicious. A classy restaurant that isn’t too overbearing. The dishes were supreme. We were a party of 5 that sampled many dishes and were not disappointed with any.

Enjoyed a fabulous Sunday lunch at the Clachan Grill. The food was well presented and packed full of flavour. The chicken breast was wonderfully moist, accompanied with vegetables that retained just the right level of crunch. The service was attentive but not intrusive and provided by friendly staff.

Beautiful and warm place with a roaring fire in the room. Food was super delicious! Scottish fare and good quality. Service was good but could be more welcoming when greeting people into the restaurant. Simply say hello and welcome with a smile. Have a bit of simple chat to welcome folks in especially if you're charging a service charge. People expect more. Service: Dine in View menu

Outstanding meal! One of our best in Scotland so far! I had the lamb steak, and it was sublime! Cooked perfectly, with a delightfully mild yet extremely tasty salt and pepper rub, accompanied by a wonderful salty Parmesan salad and thrice baked chips. The peppercorn sauce was strong but a great accompaniment I rather enjoyed dipping my chips in it and chasing the lamb steak down! With a pint of Magnars cider to wash it down, I was in Heaven! The only thing that could improve it was the sticky toffee pudding, which was equally heavenly! A delightful meal on all accounts! We will definitely be back!

I think the majority of the reviews here are influenced by the good attention that is provided at the restaurant otherwise it would be hard for me to understand how they give more than 2 stars to the food. I visited this restaurant today with my family and friends and we were super disappointed, starting with some white loaf bread straight out from the bag and some foiled wrapped butter, followed by a super basic salad with 5 extra thin soggy battered calamari’s on top and a super ordinary dressing. The main was not bad but nothing special taking in consideration that you’d pay £35 for the two courses meal or £43 for the three courses. We feel that we were ripped off, terrible experience. Ki...
