The View in Aberdeenshire

Booked a table for 1300. Arrived at 1250 and waited for table to be prepared. Food ordered and waited 70 minutes and still no food and no explanation as to the delay. Other tables experiencing same problem even though there weren't too many diners. Had to leave without food and, again, no reasons given as to why there was such a long delay.

1st impression… dated venue but the views are brilliant. Food was just standard, chicken fillets were definitely the frozen ones and unfortunately we had to send the nachos back because the chilli was still cold in the middle. But rectified promptly by the staff which was great. The chips were a tad overdone and had that crunchy chip fat taste. Deserts were lovely though.

Perhaps people do not know that the public are allowed into the cafe/restaurant; it is never overly busy. The upside is that service is friendly, food comes quick and coffees are made with care. The view across the bay is fantastic too! Having visited a few times now we've been impressed with sandwiches, drinks and hot food. Traybakes nice too. It is a nice walk up from the town either along the old coast road or through cowie and up the cliffs. The new footpath to Skatie Shore means you can do a short circular past the golf course too if desired.

Open to non members, food is fantastic, portion sizes are brilliant, service is good with friendly staff. Enjoyed our lunch and seeing the view from the club house. A hidden gem of quality food and service in Stonehaven

Cosy with great food and welcoming staff. Getting rightly busy so worth booking. Richard doing justice to the menu from tasty fish and chips to Linguini Carbonara. Well behaved assistance dog welcomed with owner. Will be back!

We got a very warm welcome and the service was excellent.The room is very clean,neat and tidy.The location means the view is great.Easy access and parking.The menu is limited but should satisfy most visitors ( check it out online). The food was delicious- real homemade tomato soup! Haggis balls didn’t last long - crispy on outside and soft within as they should be.Both had fabulous smoked haddock goujons and chips etc.Prices are very reasonable. Looking forward to a return visit.

Visited The View today with my sister for lunch. We were told about it having a new chef so decided to give it a try. We were far from disappointed. I ordered with combo lunch of soup of the day and a choice of either a sandwich, panini or wrap. I settled for a tuna mayo sandwich on brown bread and the soup of the day which was mushroom. The soup was thick, flavourful and delicious. Good quality homemade soup. The sandwich was also good. We both followed our lunch with espresso cheesecake. The cheesecake was also homemade, creamy and delicious. Very good quality and delicious. This will become a very busy restaurant. I would definitely recommend and return.

Lovely food and nice staff serving. Try the fish or steak pie very good. On a good day you may even see dolphins swimming by in the distance. It’s called The View for a reason. Very well priced.

We are social members and regularly visit the club for brunch or lunch and always pleasant staff experience and food quality high. The Cullen Skink soup, tomato & mozzarella dish with excellent bruschetta bread, macaroni cheese are particularly good and tasty. Lovely coffee. Absolutely stunning views😊definitely worth a visit.

Very friendly service and well cooked and presented food. We had lunch and the soup and sandwiches/paninis were delicious.

Best brunch out I've had in ages. Great value for money. Good portions. Tasty food. Stunning views. Friendly service.

Cibo molto buono e fresco , la cameriera molto gentile e la vista spettacolare . È vicino al Dunnottar castle .

Had lunch here for 4. Had a table by the window looking out to Stonehaven harbour and the cliffs beyond. Food was really good and served by a very capable young lady. The prices were very reasonable also.

Just dropped in by chance on a Sunday morning for coffee. The place was spotlessly clean and we were served promptly. Excellent coffee and spectacular views.

My partner and i had Sunday lunch, our son had burger and chips. My lunch was ok, not much veg. The burger was awful, like one you would get from a burger van. The view was amazing though!

My son and partner had their wedding reception at the Golf Club on Saturday September 2017. It was a fantastic day all over. Started at Castle Fraser for ceremony and Golf Club for meal and dance. I would just like to give my compliments to the chef for a beautiful meal the catering staff and bar staff for excellent service and especially for everyone who decorated the club and made the whole event a night to remember. Well done to all concerned and thanks once again for a fantastic venue.

Our four got a window seat and the sun shone too! Wow! What a view! Well named restaurant at Stonehaven Golf Club! Food good, friendly service and reasonable prices. Go there soon before it gets too busy!

Have just spent a lovely weekend in Stonehaven and went to The View on sat night there were four of us and we had a really lovely meal . The young man who served us was very nice and came over several times to ask if everything was okay .My sister-in-law and myself had the fish which we felt was excellent , to add to that is the amazing view it is well worth paying a visit we will be back.

Recently found out about this place. It opened to public less than a year ago. Wonderful place for a quick bite. Very friendly and relaxing atmosphere. Priceless view over the golf club towards North Sea. Worthwhile visiting if you are around.

Friends told us this part of the golf club was open to the public so decided to give it a try.

Great use of the golf club facilities by opening to the public.

went here for lunch with friends and had a decent choice of plain fare. what more could you ask for. Macaroni cheese, lasagne pie beans and chips. Reasonable costs good view. fine for a change

Visited here after looking at reviews fantastic views excellent friendly service food very reasonably priced we had sandwiches and tea would highly recommend

invited along to local golf club who were having monthly fish friday night.staff were very friendly and coped very well in dealing with what was a very busy night,good variety of fish dishes available but I stuck to the tried and tested and wasn't disappointed as the battered fish was delicious.excellent value in my opinion, can't wait until next month.

Having won a meal for two at the restaurant, we have just returned home after being served a delicious meal served by a delightful waitress. The outstanding views from the restaurant are well worth seeing. Many thanks for the generous competition prize, we will be returning, Edna and Kenny

Totally recommend "The View" restaurant for a bite to eat. Everything is first class from the service to the food. They cater for all diets inluding fussy eaters like my 12 year old son, nothing is too much trouble. If you live in Stonehaven or are just passing through it's well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

Went today for Sunday Lunch. There were 4 of us. 3 Soups starters and a hot salmon starter. 2 of the soups where Green Pea not bad and the other Cullen Skink. Now I've lived in Aberdeenshire for 5 years and from what I know of this ancient recipe, it contains various types of fish together with potatoes, onions etc. This soup was basically made of fish broth, potatoes and either cream or creme fraiche, couldn't really decide. You would need a magnifying glass to find any trace of fish. We opted for the pork belly main course special with potatoes and vegetables. The only mistake I made was not taking a photograph of this appallingly presented meal. Not only that but it consisted of a 2 inch piece of pork with crackling, 3 small baby potatoesi, a few FROZEN green small sliced beans, a FROZEN floret of cauliflower and one piece of asparagus. covered with a greasy gravy. It looked worse than something you'd order at a Roadside Cafe! for £10.95 there was probably about £2.50 worth of food on the plate and thats being generous. The other main course being Moroccan Chicken supposedly served with couscous and some kind of sauce. The chicken was a couple of drumsticks in a dish with this mysterious watery sauce over it and something not remotely resembling couscous with a small jug of Creme Fraiche. We did not complain as there was no point it would be more hassle than it was worth. We ate it as it didn't taste too bad and we were very hungry. We avoided another disappointment with the desserts just in case. What we ordered was RUBBISH again. I am not sure who is reviewing this restaurant and providing it with a top class rating. We all must have been in a different location. We had to go to the supermarket and buy more food to eat when we got home - a lesson sadly learned.

We went up to club house (not being members ) but was made very welcome

A light , airy restaurant with superb views over the bay. Very pleasant, friendly service. The menu is small but caters for all tastes & dietry requirements. The food is fresh & where possible, locally sourced.

Today I had my first visit with my friend for lunch after winning a voucher. It was a lovely view.I could have sat there allday. Food was delicious,great service and good choice in menu 😃👍. Will definitely be back again soon 😃.

Magnificent view over the bay. Very clean restaurant in Club House. Extremely friendly service. Small but varied menu including Vegetarian options. Food was hot, fresh & well presented. Good value for money.

The service was excellent as was the food .a very warm welcome and nothing was too much trouble . The portions are of a good size

Lovely food and great selection on the menu, service is second to none and the best views in the North-East.

The title really says it all. We booked for 2 couples together and enjoyed a fantastic meal. The views are probably best in Stonehaven and the service was ever friendly and efficient.

Tried out the view as there was a new chef. The restaurant is well named. The views over the bay were fantastic. The food matched the views. You don't need to be a member of the golf club to book a meal. The staff are friendly and very helpful. Would recommend to everyone.

A heavy rain shower curtailed our walk so we nipped in to The View at Stonehaven Golf Club and a hearty breakfast and great coffee did the trick. Unfortunately we still got wet on the way back home.

Just spent a lovely evening at The View Restaurant located at the golf course, lovely warm welcome, great view over golf course towards the sea. Waitress very friendly given time to look over menu, food first class, value for money recommend you book.

The name of the restaurant is soooo accurate, they have the best View in Stonehaven, the food was great especially Cullen skink and not pricey at all, staff were extremely friendly, very cozy. Would definitely recommend this place.
