Fantastic experience!…read more We breezed into town with friends, including a couple that got engaged at a castle just hours earlier! The staff was incredibly helpful in getting us in to celebrate. And celebrate we did! We started with a champagne toast in the lounge. All three couples went for it and we ordered the steak boards and they were phenomenal. Black angus steak, ribeye, filet, and the yummiest bone marrow. This draft review has been sitting and I went to finish it today because I still dream about this meal.

We went for the first time in years to Poldino's.

Was it exceptional? No. In addition, the menu is a tat limited, in starters, but also if you want to stray from pizza and pasta.

The design seemed to be a modern hunting lodge with all the comforts of the city such as gas fireplaces. I even spied a private room, which had a see-through view of the kitchen. They cooked the steaks in plain view and they looked scrumptious. The big steaks were pricey at 85 pounds but they had more economical option and it was just as delicious albeit not as mouth-watering. The service was excellent and they were accommodating and knowledgeable. I would love to come back here again and try the bigger steaks. For dessert, I had a rich chocolate tart that was simple but densely delicious. Perfect end to a great meal.

My family made a reservation at The Salt Cellar for our New Years Eve dinner. The restaurant was…read morebuzzing with excitement and every table was full when we arrived for our 715 reservation, and by the time we left at 10 we were one of the last to leave. That being said, we were never rushed, everyone working was kind and talkative, and made sure to let us know it was fine to take our time and enjoy our visit. My family is the type to take time over our meals, with multiple courses with bottles and lots of talking, so it was wonderful to be embraced and welcomed. I had the lamb shank, and oh my goodness, the meat melted in my mouth! Both myself and my sister in law had the lamb and both of our meals were exquisite! Everything we ordered was delicious, the atmosphere was incredible (the arched brick roof makes the space so unique and cosy) and the staff went above and beyond. There were numerous specials to select from in addition to the regular menu. My sister was driving so did not drink, the bar were happy to whip up a mocktail for her even though they were not on the menu. I wish I had another week in Scotland so I could eat at The Salt Cellar again before I leave.

And, the awful, penetrating Muzak! Country/70s pop piped constantly. Faux Greek columns. It's all a shame, because the views of the ocean are spectacular.

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.
