I don’t mean a plant based version. Calling the item Haddock mornay was misleading. Not at all what I expected, having made haddock mornay many times. Unfortunately it was a poor, very very salty substitute

I was here in this area ( work related NHS ) for five days and after being very disappointed with local food next to my hotel for two days then after a search on the internet found this restaurant/bar much to my delight, the ratings above are credit to the staff , restaurant and food. Most definitely a return visit in the future, many thanks for the delicious food and of course the staff and service provided.

We went to the Bothy restaurant for some traditional Scottish fare. Nice menu and definitely a cut above the usual offerings you get in bigger hotel chains. The restaurant was quiet and no more than half-full. Service was very slow and it was well over an hour before we were tucking into our main courses. By this time my beer was nearly gone but no-one asked if we wanted more drinks until after we'd finished eating. At first I thought they must be short-staffed but on reflection I think it is a management problem... Starters: how hard can it be to serve 3 soups? Staff member #1 delivered them after about half an hour. In all this time no-one thought to provide soup spoons in preparation for the big moment. There was another wait while we gazed longingly into our bowls until staff member #2 fetched some spoons. A few minutes later, #1 came back to ask how the soup was, and informed us that bread rolls and butter were coming. They were indeed delivered by staff member #3 a few minutes after we'd started supping. Normal restaurants do all this in the opposite order, for good reason, and generally achieve it with a single person! Mains: unbelievably, the same problem with our main courses... another long wait, 2 out of 3 mains finally arrive, but no knives to replace the ones they took away with the starter dishes! Perhaps the knives were coming with the 3rd main? No such luck. After a few minutes the first 2 got stuck in forks only, as there was no telling if the food would still be warm by the time the 3rd main arrived. Just as well, as it was indeed delayed. An explanation and apology followed: all 3 of us had whisky sauce, but they'd used all the sauce on the first two mains, and had to wait for a new batch. Obviously we'd far rather have 2/3 as much sauce each than start at different times. Still no knives... we had to ask for those, and also for the crispy vegetable garnish which by this time we'd noticed was missing from the first mains. Some chewy bits of vegetable duly turned up. Now if this was their opening day one could expect teething problems but they've been around a long time! The food was really tasty (apart from the chewy garnish), the staff were friendly and polite, and I didn't want to spoil the memory of a special occasion by complaining in front of the rest of my family. I have no experience of the restaurant business except as a customer but it was glaringly obvious that a modicum of common sense would result in a far more efficient service. As a start, how about making a single person reponsible for the customer experience at a particular table, instead of everyone just mucking in? How hard can it be to have the right cutlery ready for the food, and the rolls in time for the soup? Seems basic stuff to me. Perhaps everyone was doing their best individually, but from a customer perspective it seemed completey daft and uncoordinated and rather frustrating.

Overheard member of the team speaking to a customer ~ Pushing for a 5 star review with the words they used, talking the talk 🚩for me. We are allowed to be honest about our experiences. Although I chose to stay I wasn’t impressed by what I was hearing. When my burger arrived the bun was twice the size of the burger & burnt, alongside this chips were salted prior to arriving ~ This should be the customers decision, not all people can tolerate salt. I asked for this to be taken back and the bun to be toasted and chips not salted. They were happy to oblige and the young man who served us was very apologetic although he’s not at fault. 2nd time around I was happy with the food. 5 for atmosphere as the chandelier and roof view is beautiful.

They try to enforce a 10% service charge...before you've even had your food/drink! I don't mind leaving a tip but I expect to taste the food and experience the service first... We visited on a Sunday evening. The place was nice and the food was visually appealing. My trio of sliders, a special of the day, wasn't great, way too much hot sauce, the beef patties were very tough and the fries had too much seasoning. I mentioned this to the waitress, she just laughed and said leave a review online. Friends who had the roast dinner said theirs was good. Service at the bar is very slow. It's also pretty expensive. I probably wouldn't return.

We ate here as we're staying at the hotel, The Palm Court Hotel. The food was really good. We had lunch before checking in and then we had breakfast the following morning as part of our hotel stay. The restaurant was very busy when we had lunch (Sat afternoon) and the order (two bowls of soup) took a long time to come, considering it was only soup, but the staff were continuously checking in with us and chasing the order. When the soup arrived it was well worth the wait.

When a friend's visit back to Aberdeen over the festive break coincided with another friend's birthday the birthday girl was keen to have a get together for a catch up over dinner. Having only recently enjoyed a pre-Christmas meal at the Bothy she suggested that we make a return visit and that we could see for ourselves how good the restaurant was and so it was we made a reservation for four for 7.30 pm on Saturday, 4 January 2020. Having now read the reviews I am really at a loss to understand what went wrong in our case then. It started off so positively being welcomed by a member of staff, and spending ages pouring over menus which were tempting in every respect – choice and price. I am a bit of a cocktail aficionado so was drawn to the seasonal cocktails, in particular the apple crumble which when it arrived it was a delight in every respect. It was after that that things started to go awry. Two of the four main courses arrived and we sat and we sat. After having waited about at least 15 minutes and having experienced a similar situation at a restaurant I went looking for the other two courses – despite my friends saying just "go ahead and eat". As there was only one other table in the restaurant staff were not coming and going in the restaurant and when I approached the waiter standing near the restaurant door he had a blank stare of his face. Clearly he was not the person who had delivered the two main courses. When these ultimately arrived my friend who ordered the fish and chips found it to be as good as her last visit, and I can attest that the chips were excellent, I found my vegetarian wellington a delight with clear favours. However my friends who ordered the sea bass whilst enjoying the dish both found it to be rather bland and lacking in favour. The biggest disappointment was the dessert albeit the "birthday" girl enjoyed her sticky toffee pudding. Two of us had ordered lemon mess. Having ordered this in a restaurant in London I had visions of a tall glass full of crushed meringue, lemon curd /sorbet as in a "mess". In this case rather than being a deconstructed dessert it was a "structured" one in that it was basically a meringue nest topped with a pucklie bit of sorbet/ice cream and sauce. Although I enjoyed it and found it refreshing there was no way that it could have been classed as a proper "mess" as in Eton Mess! Now as it happens one of my friends an Aberdonian by birth was over from America and she normally cannot see passed a sticky toffee pudding however on this occasion she was swayed by the description of the Cranachan cheesecake, particularly as it mentioned "whisky". Her view of it was bland and no way had whisky found its way anywhere near the dish.Although none of us found there anything to be of significance to complain about when we received the bill we did perhaps not leave as big a tip as we would otherwise have done. That said when the waitress came to take our money asked if we had enjoyed our meal we did draw the issue of the delay in receiving two mains courses and the disappointment in the desserts to her. She replied by saying that "That's a shame. The menu will be changing shortly". That may be so but unfortunately there is no incentive for us to make a return visit. My friend whose birthday it was did enjoy her meal but was saddened by the experience. It may be that the poor service could be attributed to by the fact that there were only two tables occupied in the restaurant, that and another of six or eight so the staff had no reason to be as attentive as they could have been - out of sight out of mind?

I visited the Palm Court for an afternoon tea with my mum mid week, courtesy of a voucher I had won. My mum hadn’t seen the bar and restaurant for a few years and was impressed with the décor as we were welcomed and shown to our table. Our table in the restaurant area was all set for us and we were immediately offered tea and coffee. The food swiftly followed and having both missed our lunch in preparation we eagerly looked over the generous spread of sandwiches, scones and sweets. Everything was well made and delicious, especially the scones with clotted cream, jam and a strawberry. The staff were attentive throughout our afternoon both checking everything was alright and offering refills for our drinks. We had a lovely relaxed afternoon catching up with each other and indulging ourselves. Big thanks to Siobhan!

Booked directly and received a free bottle of wine in the room when we arrived. Room lovely bathroom spacious with both bath and shower. Very tasteful design. In the Bothy restaurant for our 7.15pm booking and had a lovely meal. Watch out for the spiciness of the popcorn chicken. Fish cakes beautiful. I enjoyed a lovely piece of sea trout while my husband raved about the corn fed chicken for our main meal. Sticky toffee pudding and Summer fruits cheesecake were delicious. When we arrived at the table the Palm Court team had set ip a lovely anniversary card. We were also given a complimentary glass of fizz with out meal. Staff very pleasant and efficient - even though they were very busy throughout our stay with coach and wedding parties and a full restaurant. The ambience was kept calm and very pleasant indeed. Camt wait to go back. Would definitely recommend.

I haven't been to the Palm Court for food for 3 or 4 years so wasn't sure what to expect. The dinner was lovely. Plus, it is somewhere you can actually eat and have a conversation without music blasting in your ears which was important for our small group who simply wanted a good old catch up with some nice food. We will be back.

At £8.95 for an "Open Club Sandwich" I would expect more than a hobbit sized portion. That being said, it would need to be a well hydrated hobbit as there is probably more moisture in sand than there was in my well charred chicken and bacon. A small side salad wouldn't have went a miss. At no point during the meal where we asked if our food was okay. When staff were told they took a few coffees off the bill which was a nice gesture, and allowed me to reinvest the money in a co-op meal deal which was better anyway.

We live nearby and decided to go out for an impromptu late lunch on a sunny Monday afternoon. We had a three-year-old with us who loves to eat out. The restaurant was quiet with only two other tables. We were given the choice of eating from the main menu or the daytime/lunch menu. We ordered a mix from both and some soup from the children’s menu. It was refreshing to see soup on the children’s menu as in other places usually only fried beige things on there. It was also nice to see a large portion of fresh prepared fruit with the children’s ice cream which my daughter polished off quickly. Good choice on the menu, food was lovely and we never felt rushed but had good service. I have been here twice in recent months and had a great experience. I have had variable experiences over the last few years eating in the restaurant but it seems things have stabilised to a high standard. Glad it’s only a stumble home.

We booked a family lunch with santa at palm court 16 December we do something every year with the children this Christmas unfortunately we chose the palm court as it was very local, this has to go down as the worst lunch I have ever had, we we're booked for 1pm we were early so was shown the bar to sit with someone else's wedding party, at 1pm a staff member said at the door that we could go through we never heard that person we just seen other families with children moving through to the room next to the bar, as we got there we was never shown to our table had to ask some clueless looking staff member, the room was soulless absolute silence no music until the elves arrived 30 mins later then played noise/music if that's what u call it, was on then off then on. The room was also focused on little girls so me having boys was nothing for them to do, I went to the bar because on the table was some watered down god only knows what, asked for some drinks for my children no we don't do childrens drinks, at the bar i asked if it was table service but was told be no its table by table, so 1st 2 tables was called up and tucked in and then nothing no more calls for the other 7 tables we just sat there for the next 20 minutes, what's happening they have ran out of food after 2 tables was the gospel, so we went through to ask and yip it was true nothing left not a sausage, oh we're cooking more we we're told, ok we'll have to wait so we did we went through to the food without being told as commcation by then had gone completely, it was sliced rubbery turkey and watery veg and hard roast potatoes, we we're then told it was 1 sausage per person no more no less, thank you palm court for your £70 sausage which I ended up giving to my son because he could not understand why he was getting just 1, later i went back to see if could get more sausages and was rudely told no way 1 per person btw these were pigs in blanket size 1s, what a kick in the teeth, as staff was walking around clueless there was confrontation by someone that looked in charge of this shambles with the so many guests in the middle of the dining room they where aggressive, rude and pure lack of Christmas cheer by every single member of staff, some more food came out later but it was too little too late, the sticky toffee pudding was rock hard, but santa was fine the children received a poundland selection box, so sad what a disappointment, sorry won't be back EVER.

My friend and I have consecutive birthdays this month and we normally meet up around this time. The Palm Court is local to me but it is several years since I've eaten. We decided to eat in the bar rather than down in the restaurant, however we both felt the tv's showing both rugby and football was a bit much on a weekend night. The volume was quite high and made talking, even in close range difficult. We also then had to contend with a large dog constantly barking in spite of clear rules on the bar regarding what is acceptable if you bring them into the bar. Our food was good and the staff were friendly and helpful but I do feel competing with the tv's rather dulls the art of good conversation!

Han pasado unos 7 u 8 años desde que comí en Palm Court. Será más largo antes de que regrese. Llevé a algunos amigos a cenar, y comí pescado y papas fritas. Consistió en un pequeño trozo de pescado que se dejó caer sobre unas 10 cuñas congeladas recalentadas, un montón de guisantes blandos y aproximadamente 2 ml de salsa tártara (¿podrían encontrar un frasco más pequeño para entregarlo?)

Nice looking bar but limited selection and too brightly lit to relax in.

Después de asistir a una fiesta de bienvenida al bebé organizada en The Palm Court para mi nuera y el poco esperado problema donde la comida y el servicio fueron muy buenos, pensé que sería un buen lugar para el almuerzo mensual con dos amigos. Todos estuvimos de acuerdo en que el restaurante Bothy valió la pena la visita y tuvimos un almuerzo muy agradable. Mis dos amigos tenían el enorme jamón y las empanadas de pollo, mientras que yo tenía el Cullen Skink y un parfait de chocolate. Dijeron que la pastelería en los pasteles estaba bien. Creo que nos importa que todos estemos hartos de la pasta servida en muchos lugares, que consiste en una pasta de hojaldre cocida por separado sobre inflada sobre un plato de relleno de pastel que es difícil de comer. Esto era más como una pasta de hojaldre en bruto y como debería ser.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch here. The food was really nice and very fresh. The staff couldn't do enough and were very patient and friendly. Prices were reasonable. I hope to be back soon. Atmosphere itself was relaxing in such lovely surroundings.

Mi esposa y yo vinimos aquí por nuestro aniversario de boda anoche. La comida y el servicio eran muy buenos. Ten en cuenta que estamos predispuestos porque tuvimos nuestra recepción de boda aquí hace 8 años, así que guarda algunos recuerdos muy especiales.

Cinco de nosotros almorzamos aquí hoy y todos estábamos muy contentos con nuestras comidas. La comida era estupenda, con porciones de buen tamaño y con la temperatura adecuada. Buena selección en el menú. El personal y el servicio eran excelentes. Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta.

Had three air conditioning units blowing out cold air on a cold evening instead of warm air. Asked staff to turn them off but it only lasted so long and they came on again. Food was reasonable but served up coffees etc before our sweets arrived. Not the biggest selection of main courses.

We were staying in the hotel and enjoyed eating breakfast there (Scottish foods) as well as their other menus. The tomato red pepper soup was delicious and the cheesecake with berries (strawberries. Raspberries, and black currants) was to die for and the presentation was lovely! Angie was one of our favourites there although everyone in the restaurant was very friendly and helpful.

Ben hier terecht gekomen per toeval omdat er in het hotel weinig te beleven. Hele gezellige pub waar je voor weinig goed kan eten. Echt een aanrader

We ate here on August 28,2018. My wife is vegetarian and the menu offers a suitable number of items for her to choose from. The overall menu should have something for just about everyone. Service was very prompt and courteous. The drinks menu also featured plenty of options. We had starters, mains and desert. All were well presented, tasty and filling. Everything was good, with no item being above or below that. A truly solid evening meal and experience.

We spent our first wedding anniversary dinner at The Bothy Restaurant. The food was amazing as always, we enjoyed all courses and the portion sizes were very generous we ended up having to share a dessert. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Couldn't have wished for a better evening.

Disappointing- no mussels, no seafood linguine- no crab! When you book and research a menu prior to a visit you expect at least some of these items to be available. Opted for the steak -no steak knife offered had to ask.

Came here for Afternoon tea and it was pretty medicore I am sad to say. The Gluten free option was charged at the same price as the normal (which would have been fine if it had the same stuff) and consisted of a few sandwiches and 3 shop bought biscuits. No top up of tea or coffee was offered. Kind of wish I had gone for the normal lunch as other people's food did look really nice.

No fish and chips, on a Friday, at 7pm when the hotel is opposite a fresh fishmonger shop! And we had gone specially for that reason. Crazy!

What a gem of a local this is. We had a World Cup 12th bday party and lunch before it kicked off. The staff from arranging to completion were attentive and professional. Food was delish and nothing was a hassle. Cool decor and great value. Thank you so much for an incredible day

Booked Palm Court Hotel for my mum's birthday afternoon tea to celebrate her 92nd birthday. We had a lovely room big enough for the 20 of us who attended. The food was lovely and the staff attentive. A lovely afternoon enjoyed by all, especially the birthday girl!

We had a fabulous dinner in the Both restaurant. Fish and Fizz on a Thursday night. The food was excellent and the service was amazing. We also attended an event in one of the function suites. The room was decorated beautifully for our event and again the service was excellent. Staff were very attentive, friendly and helpful. An all round great experience.

Both my husband and myself had a lovely lunch while waiting to check in to hotel. We had an open sandwich and some fries which were really nice. I had a Mojito which was freshly made with crushed ice. Fraser who served us was really friendly. Would recommend as the prices were reasonable and a good menu.

Pensé que este lugar todavía era un Wetherspoons caro pero sigue siendo caro. Se ha renovado y ya no forma parte del grupo Wetherspoons, más por la pena que se ha ido cuesta abajo. Tomé un bistec de 6 onzas, papas fritas y una taza de café por la suma de 18. 00. El bistec era asquerosamente duro, vino sin el anunciado tomate a la parrilla y el café era como agua coloreada. Nunca volveré a comer aquí de nuevo

McNasty’s?? Should be called McNicey’s!! First time here, first impressions excellent. Clean looking from outside, food reasonably priced and inviting. Bar staff are very friendly and attentive. Nothing is too much trouble. Instantly greeted by Laura at the bar with a very friendly hello love, how are you? and took my drinks order. I was instantly blown away by the service…not what I am used to at all. Even brought my drink to the table and suggested the best place to sit. Amazing atmosphere. As I am writing this, there is a male vocalist singing, what a voice! Bought him a pint and requested a Johnny Cash song, which he sang straightaway. Karaoke later (the reason I came here) and I have high expectations now. I am sure it will be a brilliant night. Aberdeen always is. I will certainly consider this my favourite pub so far. Yet to try the food here…that will be tomorrow! 😀😂 And yes…back for karaoke again! Just hope my voice holds up…..

I didn't have any food, so I'm not sure about what that's like, but the place was really good for a couple of drinks, a dance and chatting to friends.
