"The appetisers and steak were spot on. Unfortunately they ran out of the size of Chateaubriand we had wanted but the KC sirloin and the fillet were cooked and seasoned perfectly. We started with Loch Fyne oysters (amazing! which came with a scorchingly delicious scotch bonnet chilli, scallops with pork belly (incredible!! and steak tartare. The steak tartare had a lot of capers which was a bit overpowering but putting that aside, overall very good. Only real disappointment was the sides. Triple cooked chips were greasy and not crispy. Triple cooked chips can be superb but these were disappointing. Savoy cabbage with pancetta was alright but could have been so much more delicious. A bit of a creamy mess is the best way I can describe it. Finally, the grilled asparagus was soggy and the (hollandaise? sauce was not very good. The sauces for the steak were also a little bland. We tried the blue cheese and peppercorn sauces. Having said all that we would defo go back. Maybe give the sides another try but the steak alone was worth the visit and we would call ahead to make sure we had a chateaubriand waiting for us next time. Oh, and the ambiance was top notch! Felt like we were at a chic big city restaurant. Very sophisticated. Can’t wait for the bar area to open up again. We could only drink at the table which was not the end of the world."

Bryan
The service was outstanding. The food was good, but I had higher expectations. The steak was quite thin, although it was cooked just right. The scallops and the (huge) lobster tail were cooked to perfection.

Brillant service, both waiters had a good sense of humour and character. Food came quickly, great pricing for quality produce. The nicest restaurant we came across in a long weekend stay at Aberdeen. Highly recommend!

Tuesday lunch. Scallops were perfect. Fillet steak cooked exactly as asked. Overall the food was exceptional. This is not something I would say lightly but credit where credits due. The waitress was also superb. Attentive, knowledgeable and accommodating.

Nice atmosphere. OK food. Cocktails seemed a bit small. Had the 2 for 1 steak special. It was as if they cut a real steak in half served it to 2 people. Would lose this special. Probably would have enjoyed eating off the regular menu as the cooking service was good. I'd give it another chance if I was a local.

Had a couple of cocktails in here. Really nice bar. Lovely decor and the staff were great. Had some of the cocktails that were on offer and so when I could only mainly taste juice rather than alcohol I wasn't surprised, that being said they were perfectly fine tasting. Overall it was a food experience and I would come back and try the food.

Very nice, well-finished and elegant place. Staff is extremely polite and definitely cares about its costumers. The table is dressed with Vovem signed plates which is lovely and the dinnerware is stylish. The food is good, we tried the carpaccio which was amazing. The burger was tasty, although we were expecting more from the ribeye steak. Prices are higher than the average but that’s reasonable for the high quality service offered.

The steak was decent, but I've had better. It was quite thin compared to the ribeyes I'm used to, and perhaps it was cut thinner because it was part of their mid-week meal deal for two. When we arrived, they offered us a glass of water, but later we discovered we were charged for it on the bill. The most disappointing part was the triple-cooked chips, which were more like half potatoes than actual chips. Overall, I was very disappointed and won't be returning.

On my way back from the restroom, I couldn’t help but admire the open kitchen and was kindly invited to take a closer look. I ended up having a delightful conversation with the chef about their meat cooking techniques. They didn’t have to engage with me, but their openness and friendliness were much appreciated. The service was excellent as well. Overall, our experience exceeded our expectations and was significantly better than some of our more recent dining experiences.
