The Clunie Dining Room Ballater Reviews from The Last Year
Disappointing, when we expected better.
Whilst staying in Aberdeen with my son, he took me out for Sunday lunch at The Clunie Dining Room as a pre Mothering Sunday treat. We were somewhat disappointed with our meal. He chose the roast beef which came as one very thick slice and was somewhat chewy. I chose the Belly pork which was very tender but did not appear to be freshly cooked. It looked as though it had been reheated. The vegetables were tasty but the roast potatoes were leathery suggesting they had been cooked earlier and dried out. For the prices charged I would have expected much better. We are happy to pay for something a cut above the rest, but this was certainly not. The wine list was eye wateringly expensive and my 125ml glass was a price I would have expected to pay for the whole bottle. On the plus side the service was impeccable and a very pleasant dining room. It was very quiet for a Sunday lunchtime whereas The Flying Stag next door was jam packed. Maybe they knew something that we didn’t. It certainly wasn’t value for money.
A very expensive mistake
Good: Service level from the staff was very high The starters and dessert were both very good The wine list was comprehensive, though the mark-up was much higher that expected. Average: After-dinner coffee had no petit-fours option and was accompanied by very soft (almost soggy!) shortbread Poor: The main was incredibly dissappointing - very overcooked hake in overly vinegared broth. Value: Terrible. Very expensive and not a place we'll be revisiting.
TERRIBLE OFFENSIVE BEHAVIOUR
After returning from walking ‘The Morrone’, we popped into the hotel to book a table for the evening. I gave details, man, time, and everything seemed fine. A moment later, we were questioned as to whether we were residents, we stated we just wanted dinner at the restaurant, then told bluntly that we could not book. That was rude enough, but moments later a couple overheard us and told us they had just booked a table, the only difference was their attire, we were in walking gear. The young man we spoke to as we entered was extremely helpful and as we were leaving asked if we had booked ok, and was surprised to hear we were unable to get a table. So rude and clearly they didn’t want ‘our sorts’ in their hotel or bar! Terrible experience, one we will never forget.
Shockingly bad food.
Made reservations and came a considerable distance with visiting friends to treat them to the "wood-fired Sunday roast" at the Fife Arms Clunie Restaurant. Bad sign that they seemed surprised to see us, then seated us in an otherwise empty dining room. Service was lovely. Wait staff were excellent. Starters (a soup, and a leek dish) were slow to arrive but tasty. Then the "Sunday roast" - when it finally arrived an hour later - was almost inedible. Beef was both tough and improperly carved, so very stringy. Managed to saw off a few bits. Gravy good, but Yorkshire puddings - probably store-bought and in the oven all day - were dried to a crisp and tasteless. The "roasted potatoes" couldn't be cut with our steak knives, as they were impossibly tough and dried out. Really shockingly bad food, honestly. Deeply disappointed to have subjected our friends to such a meal... and paid an eye-watering sum for the experience. The dining room itself is extraordinary, but couldn't rescue the catastrophe of the meal. Sorry, but just couldn't possibly recommend.

Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

Can come from a lot of places, people who don't want to get charged their cancellation fee or people who just have them and cant go.

almost all restaurants aren't affiliated with AT and I'm guessing it's mostly people wanting to not pay cancellation fees.
