Silver Darling - Aberdeen City

Been a few years since prior visit, but this dinner was just as good ! Despite a wobble table, the food and service were excellent ! Good choice of specials, although maybe a couple of alternatives for vegetarians would be good ! Dessert for my husband was the best he’d ever had !!

Nice quick welcome on arrival, superb starters of Shetland scallops, prawns pil pil, haggis bon bons etc. Mains arrived in a timely manner, halibut was out of this world. Got to love the crab fries, every single time. Lemon sole goujons and Monkfish delicious, the battered haddock as good as always. Desserts delicious. Chose Sauvignon Blanc and Picpoul as our accompanying wines. The service was very very good from our servers, even on a busy Saturday night, they pulled it out of the bag. Not a single issue. I’d say that was 100% success. Highly recommended and look forward to a return in the not too distant future.

We went for dinner to The Silver Darling to celebrate a family birthday. Lovely food and excellent service says everything about the restaurant. They never fail to hit the mark. The restaurant was busy with a great buzz. The view as the boats come and go is magical as darkness falls.

The food was tremendous. Scallops, oysters, and Pil Pil prawns to start. Seafood linguine and the halibut for our mains were cooked to perfection. Our servers were friendly and efficient, taking time to chat despite the restaurant being busy. This is our favourite restaurant in Aberdeen and why we keep returning.

The food was incredible, the service was impeccable and the location unique. Thoroughly recommend the crab straw fries and the steak which was to die for! Only two negatives it isn't cheap but you do get what you pay for, and we got sat near the kitchen door which was a bit draughty. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant however, you will not be disappointed! Looking forward to our next visit.
