West End Bistro & Bar in Aberdeen City

Esto no es un bistro. Este es un restaurante de hotel completamente desalmado. Estábamos comiendo solos en un momento, un sábado por la noche. Las sillas están tan mal diseñadas que no pude mover las mías más cerca de la mesa. La porción de paté de hígado de pollo fue muy generosa, pero solo había 5 mini tortas de avena. Eso necesita repensarse. Elegí la sopa y pregunté si podría ser vegetariana porque el menú decía que hay opciones vegetarianas, veganas y sin gluten disponibles. Me dijeron que en realidad no estaban disponibles. Vale la pena intentarlo, supongo. . . El rebozado del pescado era marrón oscuro y duro, lo que sugiere una cocción excesiva o aceite que necesitaba ser cambiado. Los guisantes blandos eran guisantes enteros. Las papas fritas estaban bastante oscuras y solo se mezclaban por dentro. Eran REALMENTE malos. Ese plato no debería haber salido de la cocina. Mi compañero estaba tan decepcionado que el chef lo consideró aceptable que no podía molestarse en quejarse. La cantidad de comida que queda en su plato al final de nuestra comida debería haber dado una pista. . . Mi plato de espagueti con crema y muy pocos hongos estaba bien. El camarero fue atento y agradable. Si, al participar en el esquema de Itison, el equipo de administración espera atraer a los comensales y alentarlos a regresar, realmente necesitan mejorar su juego. Esa no fue una experiencia culinaria agradable. Lejos de ahi.

Gran parte de mi experiencia cenando en Aberdeen es cortesía de la maravillosa aplicación / libro Spree que hace que cenar en Granite City sea un poco más asequible. No hay muchos restaurantes que ofrezcan un cupón de descuento los sábados por la noche, pero el West End Bistro sí. Esa noche había silencio, por lo que el servicio fue eficiente y amable. Ambos fuimos por la opción de chile y estaba delicioso. El restaurante es amplio y luminoso y es un lugar muy agradable para pasar la noche. Recomiendo encarecidamente la compra de una aplicación / libro de Spree porque te da una razón para visitar gemas ocultas que no hubieras buscado necesariamente, ¡y una razón para volver!

La única vez que me sirvieron un bistec que apestaba a queso y tenía una salsa de pepppercorn. El servicio fue deplorable, la mayoría de los huéspedes esperó más de una hora para el servicio.

William y su equipo hicieron todo lo posible para garantizar que yo (un viajero solitario) tuviera todo lo que necesitaba. El servicio fue rápido y eficiente, comida deliciosa y caliente. Justo lo que necesitaba en una noche fría. Recomiendo encarecidamente este bistro y bar.

Bardzo fajna atmosfera dla ludzi z którymi chcesz posiedzieć i pogadać. Spokojnie, luźno, miła muzyka i bardzo dobra obsługa.

Skotlannin kiertomatkamme toisen päivän illallispaikka...paljoa enempää en haluaisi tästä muistaa. Ruoka (kana) oli totaalisen mautonta, se oli todellakin juuri sitä legendan mukaista eli kokin ainoa mauste oli ollut keitetty suolaton vesi.Jotain hyvää: ruoan kanssa nauttimamme olut ja viini oli hyvää.

Visité este restaurante durante la semana del restaurante Aberdeen y estoy luchando por ser demasiado positivo.El menú se veía genial y esa fue la atracción. En primer lugar, estaba confundido sobre el nombre del restaurante, ya que figura como el restaurante Thistle and Moss para la promoción. No hay nada que se presente en ese restaurante en TripAdvisor.Una búsqueda rápida mostró que el hotel se estaba embarcando en una remodelación y pensé que recientemente había cambiado el nombre del restaurante al mismo tiempo.Telefonear para reservar sugirió que no había cambiado de nombre. El mensaje grabado en el teléfono aún decía West End Bistro. Al llegar al restaurante también dijo West End Bistro. Un poco confuso.El tablero afuera del restaurante decía el restaurante Thistle and Moss y 3 platos para 18. Espera un minuto, acabamos de reservar una oferta de promoción para 20. 18 para 3 cursos, pero ya eran 18? ? ?Caminamos hasta la espera para tomar asiento y esperamos un poco. Hubo un incómodo enfrentamiento en el que nadie nos prestó atención. Al mirar hacia el restaurante, lo primero que era obvio era que estaba vacío. Sólo 4 personas en. El lugar parecía que solo atendía el desayuno, ya que todo el equipo del buffet de desayuno estaba fuera. No parecía atractivo y no era un lugar para una buena cena.El siguiente problema fue que las mesas estaban vacías. Absolutamente nada para decorar las mesas que no sean los cubiertos y algunas de las peores servilletas de todos los tiempos. Las servilletas del hotel Millennium eran tan desagradables. No se siente como una experiencia de cena.El primer camarero vino a ofrecer menús. Él era completamente ajeno a que se habían apuntado a la semana del restaurante Aberdeen. Después de buscar un consejo, nos dijeron que pidiéramos algo del menú estándar. El menú estándar no coincide con el menú en el sitio web promocional. Hay cosas que faltan, pero también cosas adicionales.Luego hubo consejos confusos ofrecidos por el precio. El menú tenía un precio, el del exterior decía otro, la semana del restaurante Aberdeen decía otro precio, luego el camarero tenía aún más variaciones del precio. Sobrecarga de confusión.La comida era muy promedio para ser educado. Al precio promocional de 20. 18 por 3 platos era apenas aceptable, a los precios del menú me molestaría mucho. Los 3 cursos para 18 juntas fuera del restaurante me hicieron sentir que la oferta promocional ya no valía nada.La parte que nos molestó más fue cuando llegó la factura. Los pequeños vasos de vino fueron cargados a las 7. 50 cada uno. No fue un gran vino y 7. 50 por un pequeño vaso atrapado en la garganta.Me llama la atención un lugar donde las personas se mantienen en contacto comercial y se ven obligadas a comer aquí para fines de gastos. No es un lugar que atraería a un cliente.La semana del restaurante Aberdeen nos atrajo aquí, pero la experiencia nos alejó. En ninguna parte lo suficientemente bueno.

Stayed here for 5 nights so worked through a good selection of the menus, could recommend the steak pie , lamb shank or burgers especially. Good menus reasonably priced and decent portions but menue bit small if your staying here a while

The food is of a high quality and the chef if given warning can rustle up a signature dish to your liking.

Went there with a Spree voucher. Food was barely edible, an empty restaurant and bar area with no atmosphere.

Excellent food and no need to go outside of our hotel, very attentive staff, nothing was too much trouble.

Comimos aquí un sábado por la noche con un vale. Incluso sin un vale este restaurante ofrece una buena relación calidad-precio en la comida de 2 platos para 2 personas menú para la cena. El menú tenía una buena variedad de entrantes y platos principales. Cuando la comida se servía fue excelente y muy bien presentado. El personal fue muy amable y atento. La verdadera sorpresa fue lo tranquilo este restaurante fue cuando nos fuimos.

The atmosphere with the piano lounge and Sunday Lunch very fine food. Lovely place to chill out and relax with a mixture of all ages.

We came on a Saturday night, were not given a choice of wine my meal came to me 3 times WRONGLY, the staff barely took us on, there was a loud function on in the function suite, there were LOUD sports going on in the bar and there was shockingly bad jazz music being piped into the restaurant. I had a headache before the 3 times I was served by the waitress who really couldn't have been less bothered. We left without paying, totally disgusted... DON'T EAT THERE!! Overpriced SHOCKING food.Say NO!!!

Spacious area around the bar, comfy chairs and tables set about. Unfortunately, the service was non-existent. A shame really as the rest of the hotel staff have been awesome and very welcoming and helpful!

Tuvimos una cena maravillosa con la familia el viernes por la noche, la comida era deliciosa y las porciones eran grandes. El restaurante tranquilo para un viernes por la noche pero supongo que su todavía temprano en la temporada. Recomendaría aquí, también tuvimos las bebidas en el bar, que era muy agradable. El personal fue de primera clase!

Went here for a Saturday family lunch with the spree voucher, it was one of the longest and oddest dining experience I've had and won't be going back.

Had a really nice meal here with a friend. It was quite quiet, but I put that down to the football world cup. Food was delicious and reasonably priced (for Aberdeen). The staff were all very friendly: the welcoming receptionist (Maria), the bubbly waitress (Cat) and the attentive chef (Anupam).

I walk past The Copthrone everyday and only just went in for an evening meal and loved it! The service was great - very attentive and polite Waiter and Waitress. The presentation and taste of the food was amazing. The menu didn't match the one on the website but there was a good variety and we both enjoyed what we ordered. There were only 2 other groups in the restaurant but the bar was quite busy. Seems a waste that for a Friday night there wasn't more people for what an excellent experience we had. Have already recommended to friends.

Went with friends for pre booked afternoon tea. The fact there was no one else around was the first warning sign, the second was that the table wasn't even laid.When we received the supposed afternoon tea, this consisted of sandwiches, the bread on the top ones was hard, obviously not been covered to keep them fresh, the pancakes and scones were stale, and the cakes consisted of fig rolls and garibaldi biscuits!We did complain and fresh pancakes were made. However, they were tasteless and very thin. We then asked about cakes and were met with blank stares. However, two plates of peanut butter cakes? appeared, which were uneatable.To be fair, the management did take our complaints on board, but it was extremely unfortunate as we had expected a pleasant afternoon, treating a guest who had come from England to a traditional high tea.I would like to mention the young waitress who was hardworking and extremely pleasant.Might I suggest a staff outing to the Parkhill Garden Centre where they will see what a proper afternoon tea consists of, fresh sandwiches, freshly baked scones, pancakes and teabread, finished off with beautiful cakes - and they also supply a box to take away what you can't eat, no danger of that today. Very very disappointed, have visited the Copthorne many times in the past, and it is sad to see it go downhill.

Had meal last night with friends, so disappointing. Table not set properly, food was a disgrace - no one finished it. Service extremely poor. We have stayed and eaten there I'm the past and it has been excellent, but last night was a disaster. We have 2 reservations with them coming up but thinking of cancelling!!

Was invited to a wine appreciation dinner through my work and I really enjoyed the evening. The 5 course dinner was well presented and the food was lovely. The wines that accompanied it were an excellent selection.

My wife and I recently attended a wine tasting event which was complemented by 5 course meal.The breakdown is below:1. The vichyssoise was excellent.2. The pidgin and lentil dish was full of a plump rich flavour, however was slightly undercooked for my taste....but still good.3. The Atlantic cod with a crab spring roll was brilliant. I don't usually eat crab, but the spring roll was delicious.4. The poached pear and Stilton mouse was awesome.5. For desert was a fine cheese cake that finished of a filling and tasty meal.In regards to the wine menu, it was good to see that they'd picked some good Albariño and other less known Spanish wines.As for the service, the waiters were polite and punctual; more importantly my glass was always full.

Me and my colleague were invited for buisness to attend the hotel for a tour around the hotel and to try out the new menu. I must say the food was very good i loved everything i tried the fish and chips were amazing!! I also trid the haggis balls, yorkshire puddings and sandwiches all mini samples of course!! I left feeling full with a satisfying lunch would definately reccomend here.

Myself and my wife dined recently on a Friday night at the West End Bar and Bistro. We live locally and thought we would give it a try after hearing some great comments from friends,We had a drink at the bar before going through to the Restaurant. The cocktails were a perfect start and the bar staff were friendly. Barry the waiter in charge of the Restaurant led us to table in the raised area. I opted for one of there daily specials to start, steamed mussels and langoustines which were amazing, and quite a generous portion but I finished everything, I then followed this with a rib eye steak which came cooked exactly as I requested my wife being a vegetarian opted for the wild mushrooms on toast and then the super food salad, which were equally enjoyed as my dinner was!We relaxed after in the bar with a coffee before our walk home.The service throughout meal was attentive, and the atmosphere, maybe not electric but was cosy, traditional and warm. We will welcome our next night off together to dine at the Copthorne restaurant.

We just had a meal in this bistro for the first time. Apart from a group of 9 people sat in one corner of the tabled area there were few other people in the bistro. The food was reasonable though the waitress was a bit pushy and seemed in a hurry for us to get our bill which was timely nevertheless. However we were disgusted to see that the other group of people were permitted to bring in a fast food take-away under the eyes of the staff who appeared oblivious to this. Our experience of public bars/restaurants is that only food purchased in the premises is permitted to be consumed there. If we'd know this was permitted we would have brought in our own picnic and purchased only drinks! Having paid handsomely for what we received (£2.95 for a small cup of tea and £4.00 for a pint along with a meal!!) we felt it was a slap in the face that people were allowed to bring in their own food along with the lingering smell of fried chicken! It was disappointing to find that the assistant manager to whom we reported the matter, had walked past the group with their carry out on a number of occasions including coming to speak to us! We certainly won't return in a hurry nor recommend this bar to anyone.

Firstly I was left to wait for friends to arrive and sat for 10 minutes with no approach by a member of staff to take my drink order. As the bar was crowded with noisy offshore guys I felt rather intimidated. When my friends arrived and eventually obtaining the services of a waiter we were told that they couldn't find our booking - my friend had phoned at the beginning of the week to make this reservation.The waiter was unconcerned at our situation and then when we went to order wine for our meal and pre-dinner drinks he pointed out that the house wine and the next three bottles of red (in price order) were not available. He was then extremely rude about our knowledge of wine - which was in this instance much greater than his - and with one look at each other we handed back the menus and left.I am not sure if the food is good as we didn't have a chance to sample it but if the lack of service is anything to go by we will be giving this hotel a big thumbs down in the future.I have had to rate this restaurant as one star - only because I don't have the option to rate it as zero

We chose to eat here primarily because of the Spree Book although ended up going for the fixed price menu as it worked out cheaper - 2 courses for £15/3 for £18.Once I fought my way though the bar and the waiting wedding guests, I reached the restaurant where the waitress didn't seem to have a note of my reservation despite phoning for one but the restaurant was virtually dead (at 7.30pm!) so there wasn’t a problem with getting a table! Despite being in before my companions, I wasn’t offered a drink until they arrived. I bypassed the starters as I didn't like any of the choices (soup/Thai fishcakes/salad) and went straight to the main course. Again there was a limited choice (Cajun chicken/salmon/vegetarian option) and I went with the chicken while my guests chose the salmon. I asked for the chicken without the salad (not asked if I wanted veg instead) and when it came it was minus the rice too although when I pointed this out to the waiter it was quickly returned and the rice added to my plate. It did taste very nice and every morsel was eaten and likewise my companions lapped up all their salmon.I was the only one having dessert (others went for starters) and the chocolate torte was very nice although it was served on a warm plate so the ice-cream melted quite quickly.Whilst the food was nice it’s a pity the service didn't come up to scratch. I don’t know if it was because there was a big wedding on that the restaurant was left short-staffed and I’d have hated to seen how long things would have taken had the restaurant filled up rather than only about one third of the tables being used although one of them did contain a large party.Nobody was coming to check if we needed drinks, we had to ask someone passing for more and likewise once the main course plates were removed we waited easy 20 mins without nobody approaching us with menu’s for dessert. We reflected the service given in the miserly tip we left as none of us felt like they’d deserved more.

I ahve been to the steak house many times and have always really enjoyed the food. The atmoshphere can be lacking sometimes but for larger groups it is great!Would definately recommend - Steak Diane is gorgeous!!

Menu was quite typical of a hotel chain of this size. A bit overpriced, yet tasty enough without being spectacular. However, the service was very good indeed. The major disappointment was that this hotel advertises the fact that they have attained 2 (yes 2) rosettes for their food. BLOODY NONSENSE, At a push it justifies maybe one! Satisfactory enough if your company expense account is covering.

While staying at the nearby Skeene House Rosemount, this restaurant was suggested when we asked about trying some Aberdeen beef. My husband and I both had steaks. While they were very tasty, my ribeye was very thin, making it hard to get it at medium temperature.They listed a special outside, and on some other websites, but told us that it was only good if you stayed at the hotel, which was not clear.The meal was good but a bit pricey. However, the sticky toffee pudding was incredible. It is highly recommended.
