Scottish Steakhouse At Macdonald Spey Valley Resort

The staff at the restaurant were very friendly, but unfortunately, the place was nearly empty. We ordered three medium rare steaks, but two of them were completely overcooked.

Big empty barn. Very quiet. Food expensive. Haddock portion was very small. Attentive waiting staff but someone forgot to bring our bread and olives. Food quality was fine but was of pub food standards.

Took my in-laws for a meal here and it was great. The waiter was so attentive and had a great sense of humor even when it was getting busy. We have been before pre COVID and will certainly be back when next in Aviemore. Would highly recommend

Very quiet in the actual restaurant when we ate which was just as well as there was only 1 member of staff on the bar and taking orders for food. He did a great job considering. Beef pie was tasty, child's pizza ok but the macaroni cheese tasted like boiled pasta in cream. Not cheesy at all. Shame as otherwise was all in all a good experience.

Our waiter was very nice. But I had asked for onion rings with my steak and was told you don’t do onion rings then the table next to us ordered them and they got them. Never heard of steak without onion rings. Also the menu was very small which was fine, it had a good selection but half of the items were missing. The food we did get was excellent. No atmosphere in the restaurant at all.

Despite having only two steak options on the menu, we were pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavor, size, and quality of the steaks. They were cooked perfectly and the accompanying mushrooms, tomatoes, fries, and sauces were also great. All five of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and our plates were left empty. While the prices were not cheap, the quality of the food made it worth it. We definitely plan on returning.

For starter we had the salmon which lacked flavour and the haggis which was overpriced then we both had the sirloin steak and both steaks were poor quality and missed some of items listed on the menu. For the price it needs to be a lot better quality. The meals came out far too quick. Service was ok but wasn’t given a wine list. Waiter wasn’t sure of the things on the menu as the same issue with things missing off peoples plates

Nice looking restaurant and a lovely bubbly girl behind the bar who greeted us. First course showed fairly quick and was quite nice and then quite a long wait until the second, we had both ordered rib eye but when it turned up it looked very insipid and had not been seared at all and just didn't look appetising. Apparently the mushrooms had been dropped on the floor so we didn't get any replacements but got a side salad that had obviously been hanging around as it had turned quite mushy. The sweet which was apple crumble was at best ok but the custard was so thick you could of nailed it to the wall. I felt a bit sorry for front of house who were great but the kitchen needs to do better.

We had a reservation for 5:30pm at the restaurant. When we arrived, there was no one to greet us or show us to our table. After waiting about 10 minutes, we were finally seated. We were the only ones in the restaurant at the time. It took about an hour for our meals to arrive. My daughter ordered a steak, but they forgot to bring her sauce and had to go get it. The server was very pleasant. After finishing our dinner, we ordered ice cream, but waited another 40 minutes for it to arrive. Our dinner dishes were still on the table when we decided to cancel the ice cream and ask for the bill. The restaurant apologized and did not charge us for our daughter's meal. They were clearly understaffed....
