The food here is great, and it is also pretty reasonably priced for the sort of fare you are served. Courses aren't too huge, which means you can try a few (guessing this is why they are reasonably priced) I have tried quite a few things on the menu and usually ask for a variation of a cocktail i like, as an accompaniment, from the bar staff, who are all very good at putting a slightly different twist on something you are used to. The music is never too loud, or obvious, which is also good, and they keep the numbers down at the weekends to ensure the customers inside aren't too crowded. This place is a step in the right direction for Aberdeen.

The staff seem to go out of their way to help you and are very friendly. Not only serve fish and chips but also lasagne, steaks, food from the grill, pies and lots more. The price is very reasonable, around £7 - 8 for a meal, and their portion sizes are very generous! They have a childrens menu and also a help yourself ice cream machine which seems very popular. There are lots of tables so there is never a wait to get seated. I would highly recommend this restaurant for nice fish and chips, or just a meal in general, if you're out by the beach in Aberdeen.

I was introduced to this restaurant about 8 years ago when I told the concierge at my hotel in…read moreAberdeen that I was craving a nice, more upscale seafood restaurant. And since my first dinner at the Atlantis Restaurant I have dined there about 12 times, each time the food has been remarkable! My suggestion is get reservations. The restaurant isn't abundantly large and is inside The Mariner Hotel, so it fills up quite quickly. Their wine list is small, but it's nice. Nothing too fancy, and the wait staff has always been helpful in guiding me toward some delicious alternatives to pair with my meal. I prefer seafood over beef, but many of my colleagues and dinner companions have ordered and have always raved about the beef. The Atlantis usually have some very delicious fish and beef specials and if there is a Scottish Salmon entree that is what I order and have never been disappointed. Also, their dessert selection is small, but delicious. The service is always very good -- which if you haven't been to Scotland, the service in Scotland is much better than England -- however, I have found some incredible restaurants in England, too. My only complaint is the atmosphere. The tables and chairs are kind of casual and made of light wood -- perhaps Oak -- and the window treatments, carpet and furnishings don't seem to "do it" for me. It's like the restaurant personality and the menu don't go together. But if you can look past the burgundy, blue and gold color pallet I promise your palette won't be disappointed.

(not quite, but it felt like it). stand outs were the squid dish, spicy prawns, delicious broccoli and yeah, everything was good! including the fried rice and the noodles. we were completely stuffed by the end of it, but it is possible to go here and eat dessert too as i saw other tables doing so! for £22 a head this has to be one of life's greatest bargains, especially considering the food is actually good and tastes a big cut above a standard buffet that would offer similiar fare. i have to say that the gluttony involved in consuming food like this kind of frightens me and disgusts me in equal measures, so, although i am glad i went and think it's a very good idea well executed, it's not somewhere i would come to often...for the sake of my life! waiting staff were friendly, efficient and personable.

The shop has a huge variety of paninis to choose from. From your ordinary turkey and ham to cajun chicken to a seafood combo. Being from California, I love seafood so naturally i was drawn to the seafood combo. My panini was loaded with shrimp, crab meat, tuna, and seasonings. I absolutely loved it. The portion was very large and it comes with vegetable add-ons. My B/F had the cajun chicken and thought it was lovely as well. I am a fan because unlike some panini shops I have been to before, this place does not act posh or pretentious. Downside, it is not open for very late, closes around 6pm, and isn't open on the weekends. Otherwise, the prices are moderate and the sandwiches are delicious.
