   Only significant negative was food quantity - the food was memorable, but portion sizes should have been 30% larger, in my view...

   Very lovely lunch thank you….we had the set menu which was good value but maybe needs to be slightly more highlighted on any supplements so you don’t get a shock. I really love the food and the staff were very professional can’t wait to come back again soon!

   We all enjoyed the food at Amuse, but we felt overall that it was very overpriced. Although we don’t like too large a portion size, all courses were very small especially the mains . We had finished our evening by 9pm, having arrived at 7.30 which felt like poor value when the bill was almost £300 for 4 people and was a birthday celebration. Service was almost a little too fast between courses, and staff were not very engaging for a high end restaurant. We liked the surroundings, but unfortunately there was no bar space, as this was being utilised as extra restaurant seating. At these prices, we won’t be rushing back unfortunately.

   I think the food was nice but not sure the price tag was quite right. We had the set lunch menu which made it more affordable. I would also suggest that instead of fries there was small potatoes with the lemon sole.

   The food was of high quality and presented well. The menu had adequate choice and variety. Prices were in line with similar upmarket restaurants in the city. Service was prompt and polite. The restaurant was very loud due to some inconsiderate diners and quiet conversation was difficult. This detracted from our enjoyment of the evening overall.

   Amuse by Kevin DalgleishResponded on January 23, 2023Hello JRK1, I am a little surprised with the 3 star review reading your comments. There is only as much as we can do regarding to our clientele, and only some things that we have any influence on. Hope that with your next visit, we will be able to surround you with quiet customers, and for the future reference please leave us a little comment that you require quiet table.

    Had hogmanay lunch with Amuse. Though restaurant was empty when we arrived, we were made to sit at back of restaurant right beside the kitchen, so we kept having servers walk pass our table. This can be quite annoying when you are trying to have a dining experience. Bouillabaisse was full of flavour and seafood was cooked to perfection. Nice touch to have the prawn deshelled. However, a few bones was found in the seabass. Beef cheeks was tasty and tender. The sauce was rich and flavorsome. Bone marrow added to the venison was lush and creamy. Some parts of the venison served was overcooked therefore some bits of it tasted gamey though the rest was delicious. Our server was fantastic and always greet us with a smile. She definitely made us feel welcomed. I do find the price a lil too steep. It was £350 for 4 adults without a full 3 course meal; although we did order 3 cocktails throughout the meal.

    Amuse by Kevin DalgleishResponded on January 9, 2023Hello ARSM, Thank you for the review. Sorry for inconvenience with a table, as you noticed later on whole place become busy, and the table that you have been placed is usually one of the most comfortable in the whole restaurant. Looking forward to see you next time. Best regards, Michal Ubych General Manager

    Nice interior, nice staff, food was fantastic as was the wine (Gavi) We were forgotten about for 10-15 minutes after our main course which was strange. Bread could have been better. The coffee with mince pie and chocolate truffle rounded it off well. Would go back.

    Another very enjoyable visit to Amuse. Christma pudding icecream voted a real winner! One request would be for actual steak knives. Second request - music was very loud in the bar when we arrived and we asked to change tables. Had this not been possible our meal would have been spoiled as you couldn't hear yourself speak.

    Amuse by Kevin DalgleishResponded on January 9, 2023Hello Harry, Thank you for the great review. We do not serve steak knifes with our beef dishes, due to the reason that most of the times meat is tender enough to cut it with a spoon. Although steak knifes are available on a request.

    From the moment we stepped in the door our server Patricia was welcoming. Offered us to have a drink at the bar before heading to our table(loved not being rushed even though it was busy) Patricia delivered our drinks to our table & conversed with us & shared her knowledge of whisky. Which was a lovely start to our evening. We were then seated at our table where we enjoyed an aperitif, 3 courses & many drinks. The food was outstanding(Kudos to Kevin Dalgleish) my husband said his fish main course was the best he’d ever tasted. The ambiance was great, Paul Black was singing festive songs in the corner, but it wasn’t overpowering & just added the right amount of buzz to the venue. Fantastic service & overall experience. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!

    So from the outset I want to say that the food was great, could not fault it, especially the risotto! However, the service let the place down, massively. What started off as good service descended into really poor service and finished with the manager on shift telling us that it “wasn’t a big deal” that we had to take our bill to the front desk after waiting for over 10 minutes to pay, you’d think they didn’t want our money 🤷🏼‍♀️ Poorly managed service meant that the team were very disorganised, weren’t communicating with each other regarding some of our requests, or keeping the service moving, by dessert we’d pretty much been forgotten. The manager, in the middle of full service, inexplicably sent one of the waiting team for a cigarette break, then after we’d requested our bill, went for one himself, walking past our table twice to do so, came back and sat at the front desk looking at his phone, walking past us waiting to pay and other tables waiting to be cleared, so after 10 minutes passed we went to the desk to pay, we mentioned that we’d been waiting some time, and the managers response was “it’s not a big deal” and that he had been dealing with emails etc (which he had not as we could see his screen), we pointed out that he’d just been for a cigarette break (which he denied) and that during full service that should be his priority along with supporting his team, particularly given the 12.5% service charge added on to the bill. Such a disappointing end to what could have been a really brilliant experience as the food and drinks were very good. I do have to say, the two waitresses were doing their best in the circumstances. This manager is apparently one of the general managers; his attitude and mismanagement is a risk to the business if it’s like that on a regular basis. We won’t be going back, such a shame.

    Amuse by Kevin DalgleishResponded on November 30, 2022Hello NatalieR, If 10 minutes wait to pay your bill is in your eyes unacceptable, after you mentioning great food, drinks and waitress, Amuse is definitely not a right place for you. We don't like to rush our guests, and as you had drinks in front of you we presumed 10 minutes is totally normal. We had checked cctv cameras, and it was 8 minutes excactly. Kevin will message you directly about your unacceptable comment in relation to the management staff. Regards, Michal Ubych General Manager

    Comfortably one of the best meals I’ve eaten in Aberdeen. I don’t care about how much the food costs, the level of expertise putting it together on a plate there warrants it. I do grudge £5.50 for a bottle of water for the table however. I understand restaurants need to operate at higher margins in a downturn but this seems excessive to me. I would recommend the restaurant as it is top tier.

    Amuse by Kevin DalgleishResponded on November 22, 2022Hello DavidT, Thank you for amazing review. Just to make it clear, with the inflation, constant increases of the gas and electricity and in general growing cost of living we have to stick to our margins to make sure that business is profitable.
