"this was my third visit, although the first one for a few years. I expected a fabulous meal, but unfortunately was disappointed. Eating was good, but not exceptional. the tempura prawns could have been from the island. they were dim balls. .doughy balls, with little taste and an unpalatable texture. the bottle wein (of the cheaper end of the winery last) was very common if I had paid for it from a last, I would have made a note not to buy it again. I had hoped to start with a beer, but unfortunately there were only camps or small doses of beer under the ales section of the drink menu. since they took the pub since I was last there, I could have got a beer. at the end of the meal I decided to take a whisky with my coffee, just to discover that even the cheapest ordinary whisky was for a tiny shot. That's ridiculous. I waited until I came home and had one with my cheese and cookies because I was hungry for the tiny portions. I'm not leaving."

"Was in today after a visit to the Macduff Aquarium and a recommendation for the staff. Was worth the trip across the road. fresh haddock main courses battered and breaded and scampi with salad. Food was perfectly cooked and wonderfully fresh,...you know when haddock is fresh it taste so the sea. Cup of tea with a scone and millionaires shortbread to end the meal were both tasty and fresh. Apple pie and ice cream for the other and he left nothing, said it was very tasty. Service was very good and the lady serving very attentive and chatty. Would go back and might try the steak pie next time."

"We arrived for lunch at 12pm and found that the small restaurant was full with no available seats. Instead of dining in, we opted for takeout. Despite the limited number of tables, the place seemed to be struggling with service. Several tables were occupied, and we noticed two couples who arrived after us were left waiting with menus for the entire 30 minutes we were there. The waitress appeared unsure of what to do, and the overall service seemed disorganized. It seems like there may be new ownership, but there is a need for better training or more staff to improve the situation. However, the food itself was delicious, and we hope that on our next visit, the restaurant has improved its organizational skills."

"This charming café offers delicious homemade food at affordable prices. Although I didn't intend on having dessert, I couldn't resist when I saw it displayed in the cabinet. The portions are generous, the food is top-notch, and the prices are exceptional. If you're in Banff, this place is definitely worth a visit."

"On Saturday evening, the restaurant was bustling with people, with every table occupied. The staff was incredibly friendly, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. Our waitress, Sarah, was especially warm and engaging, even amidst the busy atmosphere. The meals we ordered were fantastic; the chefs did an excellent job providing a diverse menu. Everyone at our table chose different dishes, and each one was delicious. The service was excellent throughout our visit. The desserts were also fantastic. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return."
