Booked online and was told only bar area available whilst seated two people arrived and asked if there was a table free. They hadn’t booked. They were shown to restaurant and told yes of course. The phone at the bar rang incessantly and remained unanswered. The owner sat on his laptop so close to us we found it hard to have private conversation. The braised brisket and mash was very very salty. The veg looked great but it did not say on menu that these were pickled. Taste not to my taste. The sticky toffee pudding was undercooked. The rum and raisin ice cream tasted great but the raisins were frozen.

Good ambience - mixture of young, old, families and couples. Good service - 3 staff working the floor meant we were never waiting too long. Good food - 2 ‘teens’ and two adults meant we all tried something different from each other. Four clean plates at the end is always a good sign.

Omg the food was delicious. We went to The Stack restaurant and I cannot recommend it highly enough. We had a main and dessert and both were unbelievable, I can only assume the starters would be the same. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Stonehaven area or to anyone visiting Dunnottar Castle as we were.

As usual, the welcome, food and service were superb. The Stack is a true gem in its field and deserves our full support. The village of Muchalls is also charmimg with a rocky shoreline quite breathtaking.
