Food was great, slight hiccups in service but no biggie. Will definitely be back
Lovely atmosphere, great service, excellent menu, something for all tastes. Food was good. Can’t wait to return.
Great food - beautifully presented. Lovely atmosphere. Felt we were a bit rushed - asked for a wee break before dessert but after waiter came over third time in ten minutes we felt obliged to take it then. Other than that a great experience.
Food and service was great, it is definitely worth a visit!
When we arrived we were welcomed in by a lovely waitress and shown our table. Our drinks came but we waited 30mins for our starter of duck liver parfait and when it arrived the sourdough bread was rock hard - very over toasted. For my main course I had the burger and I was looking forward to it but was unfortunately let down. The bun was so over toasted I literally snapped it in half, the pulled beef was dry and the outer ring around the burger was very over cooked. Overall I was very disappointed with the food after being recommended your establishment by a friend who works in the food industry.
The food was delicious, a little pricy but with the quality of the food you knew where your money is going! It is a really charming little restaurant, a hidden gem in Aberdeen.
Warm welcome from staff in a very unique looking restaurant. Top quality food with superb presentation.
Always a super warm welcome and great service! Wide menu choices, including vegan options and amazing selection of side dishes - we shared a portion of the parmesan fries with truffle aioli. 😍😍 After a very satisfying 2 course we found ourselves sadly unable to sample any desserts 😔 Just one reason to make a return visit. See you soon!
good service, nice drinks, atmosphere lovely, but most of all absolutely delicious food; everything we had was yummy and everyone enjoyed .
Amazing food. Time between courses was quite a while but the staff apologised more than once. They were short staffed and very busy indeed so we didn’t mind. Noise level was quite high and difficult to hear our companion at times. Didn’t detract from the fantastic food though.
This was my second time visiting & a great place to meet up with my friend. It was her first visit. We loved it Food was first class & the waiter that served us was excellent. Couldn’t do enough for us. We will be back.
Our lunch at the Braided Fig was fantastic as always. Lovely Crab Crostini Starter, Lemon Sole with Samphire, brown shrimp, grapes, and Cauliflower for Main Course was delightful. Cheese Board to finish with just the right amount of cheese, biscuits, and Relish. My only complaint is that they serve the wine in a wet, chilled glass. I asked them not to last time and they were perfectly happy to accommodate my request, but I forgot this time and got the wet glass again. Certainly won't stop me returning. Always attentive and friendly service. They do add a 10% service charge which is unusual in Aberdeen, but happy to pay it.
Lovely staff and delicious food 😊 Will definitely be back.
Food & service superb, Chablis a steal for the price, gem of a place, never disappoints 👍
Great choice of seafood dishes and variety of specials, helpful staff
Food was amazing and excellent service. Very good menu options. Staff remembered us from our last visit which was a nice touch. Make sure to order dessert
Booked this for a birthday lunch with my mum. I am so pleased I did. Our waitress was very welcoming and efficient. The food was fresh & delicious. Brilliant.🥂
Really good food but would have been nice for a little more warning about the service charge.
Had the Sunday roast, it was amazing. Roast beef with Yorkshire pudding it was so tasty and so nicely presented I felt like I was on MasterChef. Desert was lovely too, I had the lemon meringue tart with raspberries and sorbet. Best meal I've had in years. I will definitely be back. 😉👍
Delicious food. Excellent service. I’ll definitely be back and will recommend to friends.
As usual great menu, attentive staff and fabulous food so what is not to like
Amazing food and excellent service. Lucy is an absolute gem.
Attentive service, clear covid instructions. Tried the new menu and will def be back again
Lovely setting - fig tree lit up inside looks so pretty. Staff very friendly and attentive. Excellent tasty food and a good choice.
I absolutely love the food here. The deep fried pickles are just amazing, the puffed potato with pulled pork amazing, the pana cotta with rhubarb sorbet also amazing. The crab crustini was so light and fresh and perfect. My friend had the mussels and apparently they are amazing too! Also, on top of, that Lucy one of the owners is so lovely and friendly. It was a perfect dining experience. A really perfect lunch from a small local business owner. We couldn't have been more delighted.
It was our 56th wedding anniversary our first visit to the restaurant everything was perfect food was lovely staff friendly and professional certainly would go back and recommend to others regards Tom McKenna
Great food, service and overall a lovely time was had by all.
Fabulous food and cocktails one of my favourite places to eat 😀
It’s a lovely restaurant with friendly staff. Lovely food too. My only thing I would suggest is where I don’t mind paying a service charge perhaps make people aware of this in advance as I have done previously in other places as people often have to save to go out for a treat and this may take them by surprise and cause embarrassment. Not everybody looks at the website either so this info may be on there but people will miss that.
Excellent food and service as always - thank you to all
Lovely staff. Stunning food. Service was without fault. Staff very pleasant and knew what they were serving. Cant find fault in anything. Highly recommended for a meal.

Starters were enjoyable, main course was over cooked and dry
