The Scottish Steak Club at MacDonald Hotel offers a delightful dining experience that's sure to satisfy steak lovers. From the moment you step in, the attentive staff ensures you feel welcome and well-cared for throughout your meal.
I started with the chicken wings, which were a tasty prelude to the main event. They were well-prepared and set the stage nicely for what was to come.
The star of the show was undoubtedly the ribeye steak with bérnaise. Cooked to perfection, it showcased the restaurant's expertise in handling quality cuts of meat. The rich marbling of the ribeye resulted in a juicy, flavorful steak that lived up to the venue's reputation.
My mom got a starter of prawn cocktail for £12, which was 98% salad and then 1% cocktail sauce and 1% prawns. This was the most disappointing dish. I would say don't get this starter, especially for the price.
The overall quality of the food is impressive, demonstrating the kitchen's commitment to using top-notch ingredients and preparing them skillfully. Combined with the excellent service, it makes for a very enjoyable dining experience.
While not quite reaching the heights of culinary perfection, the Scottish Steak Club delivers a solid performance that will leave most diners satisfied and eager to return. It's a reliable choice for a special dinner or when you're simply craving a well-prepared steak in a...
Read moreTLDR: Overpriced, would not recommend, I stayed at the hotel attached for a week on business and ate here only once. Expensive restaurant that's is called steak club but only offers 3 steaks? 2 of which are £36 and the other is a flat iron (braising steak?) For £26? Seems a bit steep for me, but your mileage may vary. I had a pasta dish it was good but not very big with no sides of salad, which was £18, starters and deserts ranging from £9-15 wich again seems a tad steep. Drinks are pricy too at £7 a pint. Overall, I had a mediocre dining experience. The food was good, but the portions were small, and it wasn't anything to write home about. Think a standard meal with a drink or two is gonna set you back £50 per person. Service was good. The staff members were attentive and the food was fast, suspiciously fast actually, table booked for 18:00 food eaten by 18:18 so prepared fresh in say 5mins? Maybe? Question. I suppose at the end of the day, it is what it is : a pretentious restaurant attached to a pretentious hotel. Would I recommend it?...
Read moreMust have eaten here a good dozen times, the food is varies from good to plate-lickingly good, service likewise good to excellent. Had a few wrong orders (ordered rare received medium, ordered sweet potato fries received normal chips) but mostly we've eaten what we were given (due to sleep/time constraints) and been well satisfied. Any time we've made a complaint it's been dealt with and / compensated. Do ask the staff for recommendations, we've never been disappointed yet with those and have picked up some new favourites as a result.
This is a hotel not an all you can eat buffet, I never cease to be amazed by the folk that turn up expecting some sort of House of Harga's Rib-Rack Challenge. It's smart-casual, full of business people, mostly-sober wedding parties and the odd spa weekenders. You can walk-in but I'd book, especially if it's a...
