Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Fabulous food, lovely decor and vibe (but not noisy), and wonderful staff. Three of us had steaks, and all said they were cooked to perfection, and one had the lamb medley, which was generous and beautifully done. Will definitely be back!!!More

Usually I'm dubious of having a restaurant steak. Three of us had steaks at the Aberdeen. These steaks were superb, best I've had since a long time. Great steaks cooked perfectly, just as we ordered.More

The ambience & service were great but the food was absolutely divine. From the scallop entree to the lamb done 3 ways main to the baked lemon cheesecake dessert, the flavours were incredible. The biggest treat for my 80 yr old Mum was when the...waitress carried out a tray with happy birthday iced on it & 2 rum balls & a marshmallow holding a candle. Thank you so much Aberdeen for making my Mum’s day special.More

perfect steak, let down on potatoes - was expecting crispy Duck Fat potatoes and got gelatinous fatty lumps. Also had perfect steak there last month and tried 'Aberdeen' fries - very ordinary, from a packet? Prefer MacDonalds.

Food was amazing, just what we were looking for. The portion sizing and flavour was on point. Nothing personal, my only complaint would be that I was a little taken aback by the server I had. Although she was nice, she was continuously in our...faces raising her voice and simply being way too intrusive.

My husband and I went for dinner last night. I ordered beef salad and my husband lamb rack. My husbands meal was excellent. However, the same can not be said for my beef salad . The beef was sitting on top of the salad. I...ate the beef BUT the salad was inedible due to the very high salt content. When the waitress came to take our plates away I mentioned this to her who referred my comment to the chef- the chef tasted it and agreed with my comment - he/she said it was the sauce and it was too salty. When we paid my meal was at full price. I did not expect it to be free, however as the chef admitted the mistake in my opinion there should have been a discount.More
