There was a rather strange sauce on my burger and the roast beef my husband ordered was a little tough! Service was great, considering how short handed they seemed to be!

Great food & service.

Great place. Looks lovely. Friendly staff Food was delicious and very generous portions. We had smoked salmon and garlic bread and roast dinner, one chicken, one beef. Couldn’t fault it. No room for dessert. Great Sauvignon and lager. Reasonable

Great food, low key atmosphere.

Very pretty and cosy restaurant with a nice atmosphere, and the owner is very friendly. However, that's where the positives ended. Our server wasn't too friendly (did not smile once), my order was not right (I asked for no onion or relish and was given both, also no rosemary on the rosemary salted fried), and the ice cream was very basic. The prices are for a 2 or 3 course meal, but the starters and desserts are normal prices and the main meal ends up costing £23!!! And they added on service charge! It is completely extortionate for what you get! Would not return.

We loved the Clachan Grill! This is gonna sound like a long story. But it's not. We ended up in Ballater on a cold rainy Sunday afternoon in December. The Clachan Grill was the only place open and weren't we lucky. We were the only diners and were greeted by the manager who served us as well. We sat at a table next to a cozy sleepy fire in a wood burning stove. The ambiance was perfect after a day at Balmoral Castle, Crathie Kirk and the ruins of St Manir's Church. We ordered some beers, and for supper chose the Turkey Roulade Sunday Roast and the Chicken Sunday Roast, each served with brussel sprouts, potatoes, carrots, bread and cranberry compote. It was all so delicious and they could not have been nicer or more relaxed. Other diners arrived closer to supper time and a din filled the dining room. For afters, I ordered a dram of Royal Lochanagar Whisky awakened with a few drops of water, and learned about the bartenders favourite whiskies to try as we continue our visit to Scotland. We could have stayed for hours, but we ended our evening short. Unlike this review. Sorry, turned out to be long after all.

The quality of the food was outstanding. By far the best beef I’ve ever tasted! The chicken was super succulent too. The restaurant was very warm and welcoming with a lovely wood burning stove on. Made the room very cosy. The staff were very helpful and friendly. A very enjoyable experience.
Amazing Sunday roast. Best have had in the shire. Welcoming and friendly staff. Highly recommend it.

This restaurant is absolutely amazing! The owner is incredibly welcoming, friendly, and went out of their way to help us with various things. And let me tell you, the steaks and burgers here are out of this world! The ingredients are fresh, and the cooking skills are top-notch, making every bite incredibly delicious. This was a memorable dining experience, and I highly recommend this restaurant!

Me and my friends try their steak twice. We all think that it is the best steak in British. Steak taste juice and full of buff flavour.Meanwhile, wine sauce is truly tasty！I have to say when you come Ballater, you have to try this restaurant！
