The Office Restaurant in Aberdeen City

I recommend . A very nice bartender, Julia, from Poland, recommended great food to Man

Really great place. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere. Cheap food that’s really filling and good quality. Great selection of cocktails. Highly recommended.

Amazing place to organise party! Lovely food, vibe and place. My boyfriend's birthday party was amazing, a lot thanks to Maria who took care of every detail! Highly recommended and will be back !🙌🏼❣️

Have been here a few times on a Friday after work and it’s been fairly quiet. Occasionally groups of young 20 something’s. Some good food offers (2-4-1 Chicken wings), drinks reasonably priced. Lots of seating.

We spent cool time here, good place nice atmosphere 👌

Seems like a good bar but unfortunately not.. Adverts for live football online and inside the bar but they don't actually have a license to broadcast football. After already ordering drinks I tried to watch on my phone although their is no signal in the bar and also no WiFi.

Went there for a live music program. Enjoyed it thoroughly.

The Office hosted my partners surprise 30th Birthday a fews ago. I cannot fault the service, they were absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Maria was so helpful, she spent a great length of time helping me to decorate and organise all surprise preparations. Food was delicious and food and drink very reasonable. They went the extra mile to make it a very special occasion. Highly recommend.

Came in at 11 , was treated terribly when asking if the pub was still open , would be nice to be spoke to a little nicer !x

Nice relaxed & fairly quiet city centre pub- good service too-highly recommended

Great atmosphere, really friendly staff and great value, quality food

Had a great time at the office , drink was well priced and the food was more than adequate, we will defo be back

The office is a good little pint and chat place, the food however is a little substandard and they may forgot to add key ingredients to your dish… the decor is modern and has large couches available.

The food is brilliant with good, descant prices of their menu. The staff are friendly most of the time and they are right on the ball on most of their customers

Super dog friendly place. Good food and customer service. Very friendly staff. And great offers on cocktails too!

Think you would make more money and get more customers. Something like the chains do and put on a smaller lunchtime menu with simplar food .Sorry for negatively its just thst it is such a nice place to go .I

Quality staff, Maria is an absolute hero!

Nice, cozy, inexpensive place. Pretty good!

Reasonable food at s reasonable price with good city centre location paid parking available

Great bar and cocktails were amazing xx

went in yesterday for the first time to watch the football and have a bite to eat the service and food was very good but be warned the portions are huge will be back many thanks drink and food prices very good as well

Great staff. Relaxed atmosphere!

Great Bar for sports and food. Fun, great staff especially Maria

Was actually ok. Cheaper than expected.

Great to watch the sports in the evening. Good pints and food at great prices

We had the new Thai menu which was delicious as usual (we used to frequent Stacy's cafe before she moved her kitchen in here), the service was good and there was even a little Lego table for the kids to play at while they were waiting for their food. The only downside for us was the TV's everywhere with sports playing loudly - we weren't there for that and it was a bit distracting. Great if you're a sports fan I guess though!

Great burger.. no added extras.. cheap deal👍🏻

Nice place for watching matches

Need to get some English/Scottish people working there who understand the language and tidy the place up as bar staff are lazy and can not be arsed! Sort it out as place could be a great.

Empty at a busy time in town. Good pool table

Gera kavine labai skanus maistas yra pulti stalas geras poilsis gerą atmosferą.

Delicious food and great meal prices

Good burgers and great place to watch the football

Great selection of TV's and beers.

Good selection of beers at reasonable prices. Wide variety of screens to watch football. Very tasty burger but poor chips and strangest steak pie ever spotted!

Great place to watch sports on tv . Nice layout got booths for eating & leather seats for watching sports . Both drinks and snacks/food good price would recommend

Not the prettiest kid on the block with food to match. The service was fair and the prices and food menu options good, there were some deals going on food and drinks that made it even better value. There are quiet tables, comfy sofas and a pool table, but where the Halo comes in to its own, is as a sports bar. There are loads of good size screens and a decent sound system. I wouldn't take the Mrs for a drink here, but for a boys night watching footie or any big sports events, you won't go wrong with a few beers and a little banter at the Halo.

Eaten here a few times and the food has always been fantastic. As it's a sports bar there is always some noise from the sports being shown so maybe not a venue for a romantic meal but if you want something to eat while watching a game it's highly recommended.

Good sports bar and lovely staff

Went in for a drink prior to an afternoon out. Well set up for watching sport and decent Pint & Burger deals 🍺⚽🏐🏉

Poor service, disgusting toilets.

Great place,all sports on multiple screens,comfy seating and the drink prices are among the best in town

Sports bar decent grub good booze plenty screens to watch the football

Really basic bar trying to keep up with the jones's. But realistically this place has gone through the mill and can't shake it's reputation. Nice staff and good prices. But it is what it is. Dark and always quiet

Haber escrito una lista de "nuevos" lugares para probar en 2016, ayer fue el comienzo. Almorzamos en la oficina y estaba encantado con el restaurante. La comida, aunque parecía chico, resultó ser todo lo que podía comer y como sabrosa como podría haber deseado. Felicitaciones a todo el personal atento y simpático.

Fui a la Oficina un sábado por la noche con mi novio. El ambiente era genial, con un cantante en directo apareciendo más tarde en la noche. El servicio es un poco lento, pero la comida era deliciosa y no podría ser criticado, ambos tuvimos bistecs. El precio era razonable.

Fantastic meal and cocktails. Food was absolutely divine. The cocktails were some of the best i've had, no mixes here, proper cocktails

First time visiting and to be honest with the last few bad reviews I was a little sceptical . On arrival to when we left we was looked after, the food was so tasty and quick service . I have already recommended this to place to friends and family and will definitely be going back 😬.

Es un restaurante encantador y la comida era buena, pero no nos ayudó el hecho de que a las 8.30 se les había acabado de pato que yo había pedido. Luego quería tener sencillas patatas con la alternativa que había elegido pero me dijeron que tendrían que comprobar si esto estaría bien aunque simple en vez de puré puré de mostaza estaba disponible con otras comidas de menú

Hicimos una reserva en junio para una mesa para 7 personas los domingos por la noche. No pudimos reservar el tiempo que queríamos así que tuvimos que reservar un poco más tarde que no fue un problema.

I have been a great fan of the Office but our visit last night was awful. Service was really slow and waited 35 mins for starters. Minestrone tasted only of tinned tomatoes. We had to ask for bread, water-twice and felt that the staff did not know what they were doing. The manager was very apologetic and did not charge us but cancelled our main dish as felt so annoyed by then that it was better to leave. I will not be back.

This is not the best advert for Aberdeen. The place seem to be run by work experience wallahs and children. There are several better eateries close by. Food was not fresh and wine not cheap.

Wir waren gestern in THE OFFICE essen, und unsere Erfahrungen waren eher nicht so gut. Wir bestellten ein Steak um ca. 40€ und da erwartet man sich eigentlich, dass das Steak perfekt ist, war es aber nicht. Wir bestellten es medium, und am Rand war es well-done.. sollte eigentlich nicht sein in dieser Preisklasse.

Es difícil decir por qué no estoy dando un Resultado más alto porque todas las partes constituyentes de este restaurante son buenas, pero como una experiencia completa que era insuficiente.

Fuimos a la Oficina Restaurante después que nos lo recomendaron unos amigos hija. así que no nos decepcionó. El personal fue excepcional, con servicio y fueron muy amables. La comida era increíble, con un montón de opciones todo estaba bien caliente y presentación preciosa. En general, sin duda, volveremos. Una buena variedad, buen tamaño de porción y una buena relación calidad-precio.

Normally go to this place once a week before going out for dinner. Last night, the service was so bad we would never go there again. From the time of ordering two drinks to actually getting them was about 15 minutes. Everyone behind the bar was reading off a "script" on how to make a cocktail. Fair enough I suppose if they are new. Whilst watching the cocktail being made I was disgusted to find that the person making them used her fingers to add the olives to my drink - this would be the fingers that had previously been handling money. There was also lime missing from my cocktail. The manager asked what was wrong with my drink and I told him. He took the drink back, explained to the barmaid what was wrong, and the next thing I knew she was asking me what was wrong with my drink, in a manner that left a lot to be desired. When I explained to her she said there shouldn't have been lime in my drink in the first place but I pointed to the cocktail menu and she said it was wrong! I told her I didn't want any olives that she had been touching with her hands and she said "so you don't want olives then"? That is not what I said. So not so much as an apology was given and given that we paid nearly £12 for two drinks I would expect the service to be much better. I always wondered why the place is always half empty, now I know why!

We had heard good things about &quot;The Office&quot;, unfortunately it did not live up to expectations. The set up of booths is unusual for a high end restaurant and the ambience did not make you feel special. The service was ok but they did not have the wine I asked for. The menu looked good and the starter was tasty (Haggis Bon Bons), the main course I ordered sounded interesting (Hake on a risotto, with a coconut curry sauce), and it looked great on the plate. However, the Hake was slightly over-cooked and dry.<br />Desert was ok. So, in summary, it was ok, but ok doesn&#039;t make you want to go back in a hurry........

Spacious and comfortable. Service was great and food was delicious if a little pricey. Would go again -the dining area is nicely spaced out and we could linger all evening -unlike some other places which turn tables over a few times and you are pressured to leave for the next round of diners!

We had a group of eight guys on a golf trip and ate here one night. We were the only diners in here on a Friday night (although there were people at the bar), so we wondered if we had made a questionable choice. But our meal was really really good for all eight of us. It was a little on the pricey side, which may keep people away, but it was very good.

Recently my wife & I have had our first child & not getting out very often we wanted treat ourselves when the opportunity came for us to get a night out...we were not only impressed with the food,service & general professionalism of the venue but also the fact that the staff always seemed to go that extra step further & almost bend over backwards which is very rare in Aberdeen tbh.also to top off a perfect night. Upon speaking with our server & find out why we were out celebrating our one night of freedom,we received a complimentary bottle of wine which made our night that extra bit special & memorable...we were blown away with the generosity of our hosts for the evening & would highly recommend this venue to everyone that is looking for that little something special in Aberdeen...Thanks Office

My friend and I visited last night. We are always looking for somewhere different but are often disappointed. This place certainly didn't do that. The service by Bekka was great .....the food superb......and a lovely wine to wash it down. Will be back soon!

I went on a date to The Office last month. I was pretty excited as I had previously visited almost one year ago and I was looking forward to coming back because the food was faultless. But this time round it was rather disappointing. The service wasn't as attentive as last time and there weren't any wine menús available. However, the food was nice again. On paying, we were advised that if we wanted to leave tips, it was preferred in cash as the staff do not get them otherwise. Anyway we didn't have any cash on us, so we didn't tip.

Had dinner here with my wife, the food was very good and the service was good as well the staff( very young) but polite and helpful they where very attentive, but they did lack slightly on restaurant etiquette, but I'm being slightly pedantic, hence not the full marks. It's well worth a visit though.

Ate here on a Saturday night with 3 friends whilst visiting Aberdeen. We chose this particular venue based on their excellent TripAdvisor rating and it did not disappoint. The service was very friendly but not overbearing and the food was tasty, well presented and good value for money. My only slight complaint is that the wine list was fairly limited but not enough to prevent me from recommending or returning.

Can't say a bad thing about the food or the restaurant itself but BE CAREFUL.Don't even think about WORKING there. The owner does not pay on time and on more that few occasions she didn't pay her employees AT ALL!

Excellent I was very impressed with the friendly service and all 4 of my kids were impressed with the chicken and fish from the kids menus , they said the best they ever tasted ( the price was a pleasant surprise too) All our food was lovely and we'll defiantly go back

I visited the Office Restaurant after work for a quiet meal and was thoroughly impressed. The venue was quiet as it was a Tuesday and I had got there close to five but the atmosphere was pleasant and the music was at the perfect level playing a mix of acoustic songs.My server Caitlyn was polite and on point, she was attentive and yet even with a quiet venue not overbearing. I had a glass of house red and the Beef bourguignon, top dish prepared beautifully by the chef Alan. The quality of meat and produce was second to none. Unfortunately my diet did not permit me to sample a dessert although I was quite tempted after reading the menu.After reading the other recent reviews it looks like the team at The Office have listened and have made changes to fix some of the negative posts. I intend to eat there again next month with a client and hope that I can report 5 stars next time.

My first time here was great so when I brought my friends along we had high expectations. We were not disappointed. The waitress was extremely friendly and knowledgable in the menu. Highly recommend trying the steak. Really handy location for a visit to the music hall for a show.

My husband and i popped in for Sunday lunch. I started my meal off with one of their signature cocktails a very yummy start to the meal.I have the roast beef and my husband had the Cajun spiced chicken. Both dishes were served hot and large plates. The Cajun chicken was really full of flavour and moist. The servings are huge and i didn't manage all my Roast beef and all the trimmings.Service was attentive and not intrusive, just what you want when having a meal.

Thoroughly enjoyed myself at the office, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Everyone involved in the running of the office from management to bar staff obviously puts a lot of effort in and it shows!

I was in for a meal with a couple of friends and was greeted at the door by the amazing maitre d' and seated quite swiftly. The atmosphere was really relaxed and welcoming. After we had ordered our meal we were given some bread and olives to nibble on while we waited for the starters. I had the scallops and they were stunningly presented and tasted as good as they looked. For my main I had the Fillet Steak with the blue cheese sauce. It was cooked to perfection and the sauce complimented the steak beautifully. To sum up my experience of The Office it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Would definitely recommend to everyone I can.

Went with a couple friends for a casual night out, turned out to be superb with a twist of elegance we are not normally used to. Made our nights! Fancy, filling food and the service was spectacular, constant smiles and happy banter with our table. Albeit left slightly tipsy after a couple bottles of wine then went onto further adventures but The Office definitely set our mood. Returning is a must as I couldn't decide what dish to have so I might just have to eat them all over the course of a few weeks.

Its been sometime time since I have revisited Aberdeen but was absolutely determined to pay this Restaurant another visit and hoped that they will still live up to the standard they have set on the previous two visits. I have to say its get better and better each time. If I could afford the head chef and the chef team then I would employ them all personally! Yes they certainly delivered again. Food was again absolutely stunning in terms of presentation, temperature and ultimately taste which again every mouthful was savoured willing it not to end. I don't often eat out but this particular restaurant for me needs mentioning to let everyone know what a 5 star experience you will get every time no exceptions. And I must also say a quick mention to the front of house team who as deliver a very high standard of service and make the visit that extra special. Well Done guys, keep this up! P.S. My advice to all if you manage to still feel hungry for a dessert then you must taste the Home made Lemon Tart, it will blow you away! Words are difficult to describe the amazing taste you will experience!!!!!

First time visited on a Saturday evening, previous experience with work colleagues mid week.The one consistent thing is the food was excellent absolutely first class.Mid week like most Aberdeen restaurants, reasonably busy with usual chatter on the Saturday evening their was a cacophony of noise from a so called 'swing singer' and loud background music when he wasn't screeching, it felt like an assault on my ears.Couldn't hold a conversation for longer than a few seconds, it's a shame as the food was very good.

Apparently changing the menu, so waitress spends time telling you what you can&#039;t have and what the substitute is. Food is very good, but why can&#039;t they print a new menu. Staff are obviously inexperienced. The wine is expensive for what it is. We have been to the Office many times before and always enjoyed it. Something has gone very wrong with the place. We will not be going again.

Still my favourite place in Aberdeen. The filet steak never ceases to amaze me, and anyone I ever take with me agrees wholeheartedly.

In for dinner on Saturday night - both had steak which was great, cocktails to start and finish, and a gorgeous bottle of wine. Service was excellent and special mention to Megan who made our night!!! Xx

Went there for a meal tonight after good reviews. Service was poor. The waitress who took our order only let us order starters then said they take the main after, this meant we had to wait until we are or starters then order our main which n turn meant a wait between meals as it was cooked. We were not offered bread and olives yet most others were. The waitresses stood around the bar whilst one young lad was running around. On the plus side the food was nice, although my pork belly was quite fatty

Went there with some friends and ordered both steak and fish. All the food was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. Also the interior was beautiful and modern. Very beautiful restaurant all together for special occations.

This restaurant has a nice atmosphere and the food is good. But the service is very poor. The waiter was sort of "not there" or maybe he was new, I don't know. Anyway first we asked what are the specials and the waiter did not know. Then he came after 10 mins or so with the specials. We had one dinner special - Lamb - and another main - Sea bass. Both delicious I must say. The specials come with a free glass of wine and cost only 10 pounds on Tuesday nights but he charged us more. We told the waiter about it and said he didn't know. He came again with a second bill and only when we left we realised that he still charged us extra for the wine. So my question is, why does this restaurant advertise a main dish and a glass of wine for 10 pounds? We also waited for about 15 mins until the waiter cleared the plates and the restaurant was not busy. No I think I won't go again.

We were out for a meal at the weekend and had a lovely experience here. The food was amazing. The staff were lovely and attentive and the bar area is great for an after dinner drink or 3. We will definitely be back. Love the refurb. We came in from Inverurie and were super glad we did.

After looking all over Aberdeen for a place with a relaxed atmosphere and people who genuinely cared about our wedding reception, we were delighted to choose The Office. Having married abroad, we wanted a nice lunch for our family followed by a fun party for all of our friends and families. Based on the continuous comments from everyone, we are so glad we chose to do it here!From the beginning Shelly and Niki could not have been more helpful. They made it perfectly clear that they were going to work with me and make my day the way I wanted it. From everything to decoration to food to music, no request was too big.Our day began with a lovely lunch for 16 in the restaurant. I was able to see the menu (and actually meet with the chef) beforehand so that I could ask my guests orders before going. I set up a Facebook page where my guests chose what they wanted and I simply shared it with the restaurant. It couldn't have been easier! Upon arrival my guests were offered a sparkly welcome, on the house mind you, and we were then seated for our meal. Our guests could not rave more about their meals. Everything came out hot and exactly as ordered. After a relaxing lunch where we were doted on, we joined our friends upstairs for a party! The Late Lounge is the most wonderful place to host a party in a comfortable, fun atmosphere. We had a party of 100 and the place never felt empty or crowded even though it could take parties of much larger. If you haven't had the opportunity, the upstairs is decorated in a brilliant Gatsby kind of feeling with couches, tall tables and VIP areas as well. Our guests were welcomed with drinks from teapots being served throughout the room by The Office staff. A buffet was also done and everything again came out piping hot and most delicious. Just as I mentioned before, we were completely doted on by every member of the staff and no requests were too big.I can not thank everyone at The Office, especially Shelly, Nicky and Wray for making our day absolutely special and memorable. All of our guests have talked about it being the perfect venue and how wonderful all the food and drink was. It was exactly what my husband and I dreamed of and I could not recommend this place more. Thank you! Thank you!

On arrival the outside of the building did not give the impression that the inside had much to offer... it is also next door to a nightclub and a strippers. However, when we walked inside I was actually taken aback by how beautifully it was decorated. It was so lovely, nice elegant atmosphere but also relaxed. We ordered some wine and ordered some food... We were on a date so we were trying to chat and catch up on things when out of the blue someone just started singing into a microphone that I didn't even realise was there. My first impression was that he sang very well then when I turned back around to talk to my date he couldn't hear anything I was saying and nor I, him. We were yelling across that table trying to be heard and it really killed the mood. It felt uncomfortable yelling, as I didn't want the whole restaurant to hear my conversation.The service was basic. Staff were friendly. Someone came and asked us if everything was okay to which I replied 'it is difficult to hear each other..' To which she replied 'what?' ... My point exactly. I don't understand why the guy singing acoustic had to belt it out in such an intrusive way. We just tried to ignore him and lip read.Even though it was not the restaurant experience we were hoping for the food was good. I had the pear and walnut salad and the cannelloni. My partner had the poached salmon and the chicken supreme. Our plates were cleared by a 12 year old boy also, which was odd... Is he old enough to work?! He was really cute though. All in all I would go back; definitely not on the weekend with a date, but maybe with the girls for a couple drinks. Great atmosphere but not the 'date night' we had planned for my birthday... Disappointing.

Exquisite food and charming staff. We have been eating out in Aberdeen for years and are very surprised we haven't heard of The Office before. The food is the best I've eaten in Aberdeen: in particular, the scallops that came with my pork belly melted in my mouth. The bill was very reasonable and the whole atmosphere is fun and unhurried. There is the odd eccentricity (why only the one wine menu for the whole restaurant?), but we like that. We have a new favourite restaurant in Aberdeen.

Visited midweek as party of 8 business dinner. Liked the venue, space, welcome, etc. also liked the food and beer. One waiter was new and didn't know the sorbet flavours; but that's a minor issue. This is a proper restaurant, not a pub masquerading as a restaurant. I would visit again.

Having previously been in at the weekend for drinks, we decided to try out the food mid week, and I'm glad we did! The menu is seasonal and varied, and very reasonably priced. The wine and cocktail list provides plenty of choice and the service cannot be faulted. I can't wait until my next visit!

My friend and I were in Aberdeen for a weekend recently and booked this restaurant for Friday night. The restaurant was quite buzzy when we arrived, and we were shown to our table by a very young boy which seemed a bit odd. There was no wine list, as they were in the process of changing it I think - I can't really remember the explanation but it seemed a bit haphazard. But our waitress was very sweet. Our food was pleasant enough. But they forgot our second glass of wine. My overall impression looking back was that the whole thing was a little chaotic - the 'live' music was dreadful, the food okay and the service patchy. Our waitress explained that they have different people performing on certain nights. The night we were there the guy couldn't sing to save himself.

I was overall very satisfied with the dining experience at The Office.<br /><br />We got to our table very quickly (after reserving) but there were only 2 other tables in the place on a Tuesday night.<br /><br />Staff were friendly and polite. Very obedient and made good rapport.<br /><br />When we first arrived we got food menus, but no drink menus. Getting a drink took a lot longer than I liked (about 10-15 minutes). Apart from that the food quality was excellent, presentation good and good value for money. Not cheap, but worth it. When we were the only table in, it was quite quiet so not a lot of atmosphere but this can&#039;t be helped.

Midweek dinner with a group of friends in Aberdeen. The Office is located just off Union Street, the main shopping street in Aberdeen.Without a table booking we were welcomed into a very quiet restaurant that is pleasantly furnished and comfortable. The initial service pre dinner was good if slightly disorganised. The waiting staff when enquiring what beer was available did so by shouting across the bar area.When seated we were presented with a menu and given ample time to order, never a bad thing when a relaxed pace is desired. The menu was sufficiently varied to offer something for most tastes without being distracting by it's range.Our starters arrived in good time and the drinks service at the table was good. My scallops were marginally over cooked but not to the point of ruining the dish. Before our Main course arrived the waiter splled a large drink over 2 of our party. Whilst unfortunate these things do happen and we were accepting of the mistake. Unfortunately the waiter chose to join in the hilarity of the rest of our party, who found our impromptu bath very amusing, resulting in the waiter laughing at those he had just drenched. Not something I found to be acceptable.When the mains arrived the food was superb but the ordered sides did not arrive until we had finished our meal.The supervisor kindly deducted the cost of one main from our bill, not something we had asked for, making the total bill £160 for four instead of £170. 2 courses and 3 drinks each.Perhaps just bad luck on our part, and certainly not an issue with the food, but I wouldn't rush back.

We had a wonderful visit to the office, thee was live music and plenty of choices of wine. We opted for a seafood risotto and my boss had a steak. The hostess suggested a glass of wine each that complimented our meal choices and we munched on bread and olives until our food arrived. We will certainly be back again as the other dishes deserve to be tasted. The service was excellent as always and our bill was reasonable considering we choose more expensive cuts off meat. After paying our bill we stuck around to enjoy the live music.

Visited the office after reading the reviews on Facebook. We walked into a tiny corridor which opened out into huge room heaving with people celebrating a retirement party, we were reluctant at 1st as it seemed like it would've been too rowdy for us. The hostess seated us in an area at the far end of the room in a glazed panel area away from the big party and it actually seemed quite good as a guitarist started playing and singing. Drinks were ordered and water and bread were given. Our order was taken and the wine didn't arrive until the same time as our starters (20 mins) after that initial 1st impression and feelings of apprehension our evening became better and better and better. We had samples of cocktails and the owner gave us a round on the house while she apologises for the noise of the party and explained that they had 150 more people turn up for the booking than the gentleman had anticipated. She also expressed her concern we might've not liked the time taken for our wine to arrive, but it was understandable considering they had 3 staff call in sick and 1 not turn up, we left the remaining staff a good tip as they did a fabulous job. Our waitress and the young male waiter were so hard working and polite. We choose to stay at our table and try most of the cocktails after dinner and continue enjoying the live music. We do think it would have been better with less drinkers however this is not the fault of the venue staff who worked hard to make sure everyone had an enjoyable night. I recommend the Ox cheeks and the sticky toffee pudding. We will return. Highly recommended.

My friend and I visited The Office last night initially just for cocktails, however the aromas coming out of the kitchen were too good for us to resist.My friend had the lamb chumps while I opted for the ox cheeks. Both dishes were well presented and of a generous portion size. The ox cheeks were so tender and just melted in the mouth, the same can be said for the lamb. The accompanying vegetables were cooked perfectly.We decided to go all out and have dessert as well. Sticky toffee pudding for my friend and chocolate brownie for me. You could tell that they were homemade and both plates were scraped clean.With a couple of cocktails ( I recommend the summer breeze ) each the bill was still very reasonable.The service was also top notch. You don't feel like you are being rushed out as soon as you have finished eating. There is the added bonus of the late lounge upstairs so you can continue your night without traipsing round the town.I will definitely be back and would highly recommend The Office to anyone looking to have a superb meal within a relaxed setting.

Everything was brilliant, new waitress was being trained as we where there which was good to see and she done very well, would definately recomend this as one of the top resteraunts to eat at in Aberdeen

We had such high hopes after such amazing reviews. Firstly I want to say both of our main courses and deserts were ok and there is no real complaints with the food. The rating is based on the overall experience. There was a huge leaving party in the main bar, it was so loud it was like dining in a busy nightclub. We couldn't hear each other speaking and had to shout over the table. We ordered drinks and waited over 25 minutes for them to arrive. We had finished our bread and olives by the time they came. The wait between plates being taken away was really slow. After we had finished our desert we waited (after many failed attempts to grab the waitresses attention) 45 minutes to get our bill. At this point we had even ran out of the complimentary water.To be fair to the staff they were polite and really were doing their best but I think they were completely understaffed as they ran between the very large function and tables.Maybe on a quieter weeknight our review would have been completely different. I think we might have been unlucky

love this place, although there was music playing we could still hold a conversation without shouting over one another.Service was fab, barman with a beard couldn't do enough for us (sorry I didn't get his name) but he is an asset to The Office.Would definitely return and might have food next time

Had a lovely dinner here with our son and his partner. Food was great. The staff were extremely attentive and great company. More people should know of this venue as there were very few people in the restaurant.

Found this place searching trip advisor as was going to aberdeen. Made booking and had to change due to arriving later in aberdeen. Staff accommodating and friendly. When arrived at hotel was greeted by male who was very friendly and looked professional with waistcoat and tie on. Picked scallops and partner had terrine for starters, lovely. Ox cheek (as recommended) and pork belly for mains. Food was lovely, place was really nice and relaxed. Recommend going there for food.

Service was fantastic. We felt welcomed by all those who catered to our needs. The food was delicious. However, for vegetarians there is only one main dish offered. I had noted on my reservation that l was a vegetarian and l was hoping l would be offered alternatives but unfortunately that didn't happen.

We where in Aberdeen for the Brew Dog AGM and it was my friends birthday on the Sunday night. On the Friday we had seen The Office on trip advisor and my friend wanted to check it out for his birthday meal. We where looking outside at the a la carte menu but where disapointed not see any steaks mentioned. While were looking the Mangager came out to chat to use and asked about the Steaks. He invited us in to look at the full menu and also check out the drinks selection (at this point in the day the resturant was not open). Steaks are there on the menu so we booked for 4 on the Sunday evening.When we arrived on the Sunday we where greated by the Manager who seated at the bar. Our party fancied starting off with cocktails, the Manager said he can mix any cocktails we wanted either on or off menu. My friends asked if he could whip up a couple of Chocolate Martini's, which must have been good as they asked for seconds!Once sat our table the staff could not be more pleasant in helping us order explaining the dishes on offer. Off the four of us three had the Steaks for their main and one had the braised OX Cheeks. The food was superbly presented and tasted devine. The birthday boy though wasn't happy about his steak as it was neared medium than rare, this was no issue and the staff brought a replacement meal without question.The drinks selection at the bar is excellent a good selection of beers inlcuding brew dogs, great wine, chamapgne and of course the cocktails. We we went through several bottles that night ending up with our "Shelf of Shame" of emptys.If your in Aberdeen and want a relaxed evening out I could not recomend this place more. Hopefully we will back after next years Brew Dog AGM

We found this restaurant using TripAdvisor and we were not disappointed. The choices on the menu were varied and all sounded equally as lovely. We had a three course meal each, every course was delicious and the portion sizes were generous. The staff were attentive and friendly. All round great place to visit for some truly tasty food!
