We were sat at a table in a draught (our fault for not complaining). We waited 20mins to order a drink and 45mins for a menu. The description of one of the dishes given to us by a member of staff did not match what turned up. The attention to presentation was immaculate (although one of my plates had two chips (not potato) on it), it was a shame that the food taste did not match that. Having said that the Duck main course and the soufflé were very good which helped redeem the meal. It was such a shame as we’d been really excited about coming here and were left with the impression that on a good night this place could be deserving of its reputation.

Really nice setup with tables far enough apart. The food was good we got our choice of food but I was aware of that they had run out of one of the main courses but offered an alternative.

An Extraordinary Dining Experience — Truly Worthy of Five Stars! Dining at Amuse by Kevin Dalgleish was nothing short of extraordinary! From the moment I arrived until the final course, every aspect of the evening reflected culinary excellence, impeccable service, and genuine hospitality. This wasn’t simply dinner; it was an unforgettable gastronomic experience and a highlight of my visit to Scotland. The tasting menu was an incredible journey of flavors, textures, creativity, and presentation. Every course was beautifully executed, showcasing exceptional ingredients, remarkable culinary skill, and extraordinary attention to detail. From the exquisite opening bites and perfectly prepared seafood to the spectacular desserts, each dish was a masterpiece. The artistry was breathtaking, and the flavors were even more impressive. The wine selection was equally outstanding, complementing the tasting menu beautifully and elevating an already remarkable experience. Every element demonstrated the sophistication and passion behind this exceptional restaurant. The service was absolutely flawless! The staff delivered the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality. Every course arrived with impeccable timing, and I never felt rushed. The elegant, intimate atmosphere made the evening even more special. Having experienced fine dining throughout my travels, I can confidently say Amuse ranks among my most memorable experiences. Chef Kevin Dalgleish and his entire team deserve tremendous recognition for their passion, creativity, and dedication to excellence. Five stars across the board — food, wine, service, ambience, and value! If you’re visiting Aberdeen, Amuse is an absolute must. The tasting menu is an experience not to be missed, and I would return without hesitation. Simply phenomenal. An unforgettable evening and a true celebration of fine dining. Bravo to the entire team! - Michael
