Sopranos

[Karl Fletcher]

Is it any good?

 

Trying to think of somewhere decent to take the wife on Saturday, any other suggestions?

[Karl Fletcher]

Nae really fussy to be honest min.

 

I like a good steak

[Karl Fletcher]

Cheers Roberto.

 

If you want a good steak, head to Prime Cuts.

 

Expensive place but one of the finest feeds I've ever had.

[Henry]

 

I'll maybe check out Cheers.

 

[Lang Bar]

Laidlaws do a nice rare steak.

[Poodler]

Pavarottis is good, bit pricey for what you get but still fine

[muttondressedaslamb]

Sopranos is fine but there is better imo. 210, The Foyer, Moonfish Cafe, Silver Darling, Fusion, Granite Park.

Roberto Prime Cuts is brilliant but very expensive. I've had a few meals at Granite Park and think it's much better value for money. If you do go to Prime Cuts go to Upstairs, it's a lovely wine bar with a very enthusiastic sommelier who will ensure the right wine for your palate.

What do you mean by that MDAL?

 

Enthusiastic as in a pain in the arse not giving you peace or enthusiastic as in he knows his stuff?

 

I presume it's the latter.

I've been looking for a fine steak place for some time - a steak place which has the balls to do my steak raw.....but every where I go - they bottle it, does my head in.

 

I love Ciao Napoli for a meal, or Tropeiro.

I've always wanted to go to Palm Court for a meal after a friend had his wedding there, but never actually got round to going.

 

Pavarotti's beside HMT, always wanted to go there and I've heard good things about the place.

 

Rustico's has gone downhill IMO, used to be fantastic but not so much now - didn't enjoy my meal last time I was in.

 

Poldino's?

 

I am only naming Italians really, could go down the route of chinese, can't see past Royal Thai - really nice atmosphere, and fine food.

 

Was in Rustico at the weekend [1st time in a few years] and it was excellent.

 

Had a couple of meals in the Palm Court and was very impressed..

Yes the latter. He's this German (I think) guy who loves his job and his enthusiasm is great to see. He matched me up to some nice red wines anyway.

[Karl Fletcher]

Some good suggestions here, cheers chaps!

Walked past Prime Cuts last night and had a look at the menu,

You get to pick it yourself though, every cloud...

 

Shite. I've been there on numerous occasions over the years and every time I've had lobster and never got to 'pick' my one.

[Redmist1903]

Prime Cuts Surf and Turf, steak and lobster = Qualitage.

 

I see Howies has been bought back by the original owner, should be worth a look again.

 

Cafe 52 is always excellent, as is Ciao Napoli, Paldino's is pretty shit nowadays. I found fusion expensive fancy dan stuff, you'll need to go in by Burger King after as you'll still be hungry.

[Karl Fletcher]

Went for the Stage Door in the end.

 

Never been but heard good things

Enjoy. Been a few times and never been disappointed. And it's more reasonably priced than some other places.

[tup]

What a bunch of fucking pretentious bufties you all sound.

 

Buy a steak and cook it yersel.

 

Whack it through a tenderiser first, that makes a huge difference.

[tommo1903]

I was at the Stage Door for my works do, it was quite good.

[zig-a-zig-ah]

The Mariner is better than Prime Cuts

 

Never been to Prime Cuts, but The Mariner is indeed fucking excellent

[muttondressedaslamb]

Never been but I shall give it a go. I hope it's not as expensive.

[Foster14]

Been to the Stage Door a couple of times recently, get a grand steak there.

 

Avoid going pre 7 o'clock though, full of theatre folks and you'll get longish delays if you aren't going and others are.

 

Just realised this is irrelevant as it now past Saturday, unless it is now a general Aberdeen dining thread...

I would suggest up the anus.
