Staff very inexperienced. Menu misleading and recommended portions far too large. Monkfish main overcooked (inedible) Espresso arrived cold after 20 min wait. Would hesitate before revisiting, overall very disappointed.

Very good service. Food was good, especially the mac n cheese side dish. However I feel the menu was a bit disjointed - some plates a bit big for ‘small plates’. Prefer old menu

I had the tandoori fish and it was AMAZING! The menu is original and different to anywhere else I have eaten in Aberdeen. Every time I eat here it is different and delicious. Great cocktails too! 👍🏼

We visited on Saturday 27 September at 18:30 From the moment we arrived there was a problem with the service, the server couldn’t find their tablet to find our booking. We were shown to our table and told someone would come to take our drinks order, eventually the same person came and took our drinks order, our wine came but the water we ordered did not arrive until we had asked three times. Our starter was only just warm, we had to wait a long time for our main course and based on the very long wait the next table had for their Decaff coffee we decided to quit while we were ahead and asked for the bill. The bill arrived but asking for a copy after we had paid caused some consternation. We did get a copy but not for the actual amount we paid as we did not pay the full service charge. Altogether very unprofessional.

Service was very slow - four tables in use, but didn't get food until an hour after we arrived. Steak was tough, but food was otherwise good.

We were the only people in the restaurant so it was very quiet. Food was beautifully presented and we all enjoyed our meal. Unfortunately the bottle the water was served in had the remnants of labels still on the glass which wasn’t a good look. Surely they had other empty bottles they could have used.

Friendly service and good food, thoroughly enjoyed by all. On the downside, not all items on the menu were available. We've been visitors to Braided Fig on and off for the last 15 years, nothing has changed inside and things are starting to look tired and in need of an upgrade.

Pre-theatre meal and the service was very good - attentive and timely to meet our one hour quick turn around requirement. The food was great, however the pork dish could have had more pork ! The Braided Fig is a nice restaurant, with good food, a good selection of refreshments and great staff.

Visited before. This time was to try the new menu. The food was stunning. A party of 4, so 4 starters and 4 main courses. Not one bad thing to say about anything that we tried. Only bad point was we were all to full up to be able to have a pudding. The staff are always lovely and very attentive. The bar is well stocked This fine dining restaurant is an absolute must to try. WE WILL BE GOING BACK

The food & service was excellent & couldn't be faulted. A lovely menu, with plenty of interesting things & choices for everyone. The only downside to me was the stale smell as we entered the building. If this was improved, the whole experience for me would have been excellent.

Food was delicious and attractively presented. Service although friendly was a bit slow and we weren’t offered a pudding. It was for a birthday and I’d brought cupcakes, only one of them was bought out for the birthday girl then had to go and request the other ones for the rest of our group as they were never appearing which I thought odd.
