I emailed and set my reservation and received a copy of the menu. It was a Thursday evening when we arrived and pretty quiet. The staff were excellent and Tracy was very patient with us at the end when we were the only ones left in the establishment. The food was excellent, the ambiance was perfect. It was a great place to celebrate our anniversary and I recommend this restaurant to anyone on the area. It is "out in the sticks" but well worth the taxi drive to and from there.

Aboyne doesn't have a vast choice of decent eateries. but we were up for the weekend and I found…read moreThe Boat Inn (on Yelp, natch!) whilst looking for somewhere better than the hotel restaurant for a Saturday evening. Despite our rather late booking at 4.45 in the afternoon and the fact that it was the Aboyne bonfire and fireworks display at 7pm that evening, they managed to squeeze us in at 6.30 in the upstairs Pine Loft restaurant. The place was packed to the rafters with families and kids attending the fireworks, yet despite this we were served very quickly and courteously and were soon enjoying our starters of smoked mackerel fishcakes with horseradish mayo. The fishcakes were so thick that they were served balanced on edge with a wee twist of lime on the top, and the waitress was very pleased with herself that she had managed to carry them upstairs without them falling over! Main course was a substitute for the grilled halibut, but as the substitute was swordfish (which we both love), it was a no-brainer to go for that. Served on a bed of chickpeas with samphire, it was absolutely delicious. More so because by this time the rabble had departed for the bonfire party and we were left in peace to savour our meal. For dessert, we both again chose the same dish (this is quite unsual for us!), the blackberry parfait with honeycomb. I was marginally disappointed it wasn't an actual honeycomb but a Crunchie-like candy honeycomb; however it was a great combination. Great food, with cheery and efficient service despite the place being absolutely full when we arrived. Prices were pretty good too - with a bottle of wine our 3-course meal worked out around £36 each.

The best chippy! Although you order and pay at a kiosk, McKay's Fish & Chips in Pitlochry had the…read morebest fish we ate in all of Scotland. The portions of moist flaky haddock, breaded to a perfectly crunchy texture were generous. The chips and onion rings were also delicious. The mushy peas were a bit soupy, but we were there for the fish. The counter staff was efficient, preparing the meals and quickly delivering them to patrons in the attached seating/waiting room. We checked out the cool school light fixtures in the atrium of the dining area while we waited. There were no public restrooms in the fish shop, but they offered use of the facilities at McKay's restaurant next door.

For lunch 6 of the 7 us ordered mushroom soup and venison pie. Best lunch we have on our holiday aka our vacation. The service was also incredible. The chef and hostess were delightful.

As soon as we walked in the door, this young man behind the bar asked us if we were there to eat or just drink, I quickly responded to eat, and he asked if I had a reservation, I told him no, and he said come with me. He took us to a table right next to the fireplace it was very lovely. He let us know that he had a reservation for that table in two hours. I assured him that we would be done within the two hour time limit. As soon as we sat down, a lovely young lady came and talked to us about the specials however, there was only one serving of it left. We immediately said yes, will take that and were pleasantly surprised! one of the best meals we have had here in Scotland!! the service was excellent. The ambience was awesome And the food was delicious! apparently they had live Scottish music starting at 8:30 but we had had a long day at the castles and we were very tired! Love this restaurant and only wish we would have time to return.
