What a fantastic place! Food was delicious, the staff was ever so kind and friendly and the chef was kind enough to accommodate my dietary needs. Can?t recommend enough and looking forward to dining there again!

Visited with friends and were extremely well looked after by our waiter. Service was perfect and the food (and choice of food!) was brilliant. Will definitely be back.

We visited The Stack again tonight on the 15.11.23 and again we were blown away by how amazing the food tasted, the chef is always willing to help us out with the food we are ordering as my wife is on a very low carb diet,the chef is always willingly to alter a dish to suit her requirements we ordered a Salmon starter and a tomato and basil soup 10 out of 10 and for our main meal a Cap Rump with a salad and I had a Chicken breast with satay sauce with fries it was packed full of flavour and we had 2 drinks thank you again for such a pleasant meal we will see you again ????

It?s been a while since I?ve tasted a plate of food and thought wow, but that is exactly what I done when I tasted the BBQ Monkfish in the crab and ginger bisque. Popping with flavour. Superb. Also had a taste of the BBQ lamb it it was perfect.After just moving the the area, we think the stack has become our family?s go to when ever we fancy a treat.

The whole experience was just outstanding from the welcoming and smiley staff to the beautiful restaurant to the delicious meals. We had 3 completely different kinds of meals (steak, chicken curry and monkfish) and all of them were plated beautifully and tasted better than many others we?ve tried before in other places. It was very obvious that a lot of love is put into those dishes. We will definitely return!

We?d heard a lot of people rave about this place and were excited to try it out for an impromptu mid-week lunch. It was well signposted with a small car park. On first impressions, the venue felt very welcoming and warm and we were impressed by what we?d seen online beforehand of their lunch menu. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we had to wait for over 5 minutes to be seated and were not offered a seat through in the main restaurant despite it only being less than half full. Instead we were just in the empty bar which was quite cold and felt isolated from everyone. Service was really slow and it was difficult to get the attention of the only member of staff who appeared to be on duty. Once our food arrived (approx 40 mins after ordering), it was really good quality and very tasty. If we were reviewing on food alone, we would have had no complaints at all. Good portion sizes and reasonably priced. No one came to check if things were ok or if we needed anything else, and we had to go through to the restaurant to flag down the attention of the waiter about 15/20 mins after we had finished. I was left feeling really disappointed overall as had been looking forward to dining here for ages and felt the service really let the whole experience down. However, I think if we perhaps booked ahead and came on a weekend day or evening, we would probably have had a totally different experience. We won?t give up and will try again another time! The food (and the reputation) gives me hope!

Up visiting my partner in Aberdeen and really fancied some seafood, have to say the food was amazing. We have scallops to start and some salmon which were lovely, lots of detail in the dishes. And some fresh fish and duck for mains. The food was amazing reasonable priced to which was a perk. We have a lovely waiter, didn?t catch his name but really enjoyed his service. Highly recommend visiting

Amazingly good food as always!

Food was fabulous. What let it down was the fact there was only one member of staff dealing with the bar and restaurant so service was a bit slow. Attention to detail needed with regards to the cleanliness of the cutlery and glassesParking: Small car park and difficult to find a space even at early evening

Food was good. Service a little slow having to wait some time for our meal. Table next to us had the same problem having to wait for desert in a restaurant that was half full. Biggest problem for me is that the restaurant allows dogs to enter. The table next to us had two dogs that were not well behaved. Growling at other diners when eating and barking for tip bits off their ownets which they were constantly giving them which was obviously rewarding the bad behaviour. At one point one of the dogs jumped up on the table and licked it's owners plate. None of the staff asked them to move to the outside eating atea or even rhe bar area. I am a dog owner myself but the restaurant should seriously look at its policy and allow dogs in the bar area, not in its seated restaurant. A nice evening ruined by selfish dog owners, a bad policy and staff that couldn't read the situation.

Nice and cosy atmosphere. The food was excellent. The only thing I could fault is the lack of proper food and beverage training of the serving staff, they where all friendly but had a lack of basic serving skills. All and all an enjoyable evening.

The Stack is well worth seeking out, and is only a short distance from Aberdeen, in a tiny coastal village. It is tucked away behind some houses but well sign-posted. Whilst the exterior is unprepossessing, the interior is pleasant and cosy. Staff were friendly and service was efficient. The menu has interesting dishes as well as some standards, with enough choice to please most tastes; vegetarions are well catered for. The specials we tried were particularly good - the lamb tagine and the elderflower poached pear. Some of our group had the roast dinner which was reported to be also very good, and the portions were huge! We will be back.

Our second visit after a lengthy absence. Didn't realise it had been so long, but COVID, etc ...Anyway, excellent starters and main courses, reasonably priced and helpful, friendly staff (run ragged when we were there but taking it in their stride). Will be back a bit sooner next time.
