Shaki Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Peroni by any chance?Think it was a Czech lager, canna mind which one. It possibly came in ice cold glasses and was served by a P.Y.T. so maybe I was paying for that. I'll eat next time so the bill seems reasonable.

It's good, but not worth over 3.50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monster Zero Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 I haven't had the chance to have a look yet but I really don't get why folk are getting so hung up about another shopping centre. It certainly makes Aberdeen at least seem like it is keeping up with facilities available in other cities even if it is not quite on par. And it looks far better than the derelict area it was previously.The fact it's linked to the rail and bus stations may lead to folk deciding to take a trip up North shopping in the knowledge they can stay in one place and not have to endure navigating the usual array of drunks, beggars and general unwashed minkers whilst traversing Union Street.I must be missing something about the Royal Mile's 'diversity', as far as I'm aware it consists of pubs, restaurants and cheesy tartan and Nessie shops playing horrible bagpipe tunes in the main. The buidlings are bonny though. Most of the cool independent shops are down Cockburn Street or towards the Grassmarket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatHand Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I was pretty pissed off last time I went, which made me sad Ordered two mains, they were fine (mine tasted pretty rank - kinda like tofu. I hate tofu... it was suppose to be pork - but my friend's was really nice... i was perhaps unwise in my choice). Then then took 20 minutes to get us refills on the drinks (it was dead) and when we asked for a sweet menu, we waited half an hour before flagging down another waitress to get us desserts... after we ate the puds, the original waitress asked if we'd been given menus. They then didn't return with our change when we paid the bill, so I didn't top up the cash to add to the tip. It took us almost 2 hours to have lunch.The fact the service was dire was one thing, but that the waitress (who was shit) decided herself to keep my change was beyond any form of forgiveness.Can't say I'll be running back. From what I've experienced in the past, that's far from typical but it was really terrible service that I had recently.That's pretty bad. Can't say that I've had bad service there but that's unacceptable. I do like their food and the vibe there. But this isn't the Cafe 52 thread.

Skubbs Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Incorrect, was in for under an hour the other day and was only charged a quid.

framheim Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I thought the prices were reasonable enough.do you realise that the prices are just for the burger, on it's own? it's not ridiculously expensive but it's certainly not cheap and is pushing reasonable. i've eaten much much better food for the price that's for sure.

framheim Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Guys guys guys, even if i wasn't a student, i would not pay that silly amount for a burger, i can get the same greasy food at Mac D's. Like Dave said, they don't even serve you, you go up to the counter and order it yourself. For prices like that surely you would expect service?Now, there is a world of difference between macd's and this. They are not the same.

Lemonade Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Yo! Sushi was fucking delicious and it really wasn't that pricey. 42 for me and the bird (including 1 coke and 1 beer), fairly reasonable, though in saying that you don't get as much food as you would getting a three course dinner at a normal restaurant for around the same price. I was full but not absolutely stuffed full, I comfortably put away 8 dishes and could have eaten more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubbs Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 These are massive burgers, honestly I can't even handle a side of chips. You can easily share a side order, even the plain burger you have to practically dislocate your jaw just so you can take a bite. That and they are delicious!It doesn't take that long to get served either, even if there is a big queue it goes down rather quickly. In the time it took to queue for the handmade burger place, get seated and place our order, three groups of people had been seated at the steak and grill next door - the place was almost empty as well!! Must have been short staffed, but on a Saturday that's pretty stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ Jo-D Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Going to try Ask on Thursday, there is buy one meal get one for 1 online so seems like a tempting offer...heard it is good alsoIt's bizarre having a cinema & hotel in a shopping mall...it feels a bit surreal walking around thinking your in Aberdeen. I am quite impressed! I like the fact they have cleaned up the train station exterior and it should be well preserved now it's indoors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
