General comments: I had always wanted to visit Silver darling's having grown up in Aberdeen. On my trip back to the city I decided to take my parents and some family friends out for a special meal there.The service was what 1st struck me, there didn't seem to be any basically. We ordered wine, which we later had to pour ourselves as with the water. Must admit for one of Scotland's top restaurants I was very surprised as the staff did not appear to have been trained to a very high standard. One member of staff served food from across the table, when there was no need for it.I thought the portions were small and to be honest not really that great. My Tuna steak, which was a special that day, came not seared on either side, but like a rubber heal. To top it all not once were we asked about the meal, given a thank you when we paid, or in fact receive any evidence of being acknowledged.Never again, definitely the worst service I have experienced in a restaurant in a long time.

Three week ago I took my wife for a nice romantic meal, at the weekend, to The Silver Darling. The table was booked for 7.30 and we arrived at 6.45. We never got the table we asked for and they were quite dismissive about the whole affair, and that was just the start. We ordered two starters and a fish main course and we got a complementary prestarter. By 7.15 we had been served the starters and I then asked the waiter to hold the main courses who then told me that they were already up and unde ...
