"We took the lunch deal, had the house wine with a chicken quesadilla. Modern interior with a great view on the Aberdeen University. Friendly personnel. I guess they were very busy, we waited some time for the brownie, but it was oven-hot and very chocolate-y"

"The review has been updated, previously 5-now 3 due to food, service especially and delays.

The paella was extremely tasty, I loved that they included such a wide range of seafood in it. Not many places even include the octopus that they did. The starter skewers that we ordered were tasty and went well with the paella. The service was relatively fast, they checked on us and were friendly. Will be going again for the paella.

Update:
We visited the All Bar One recently again and this time the experience was, how to put it, disappointing. The service was very poor, some food was good but not all. The first thing that we felt weird about was that after we have been seated, the waiter only came to us after 40min after we sat down so we were forced to order online but it didn’t even work well as the payments were taking long to process due to poor internet. Afterwards, the food arrived weirdly timed, we received our starters first, the people we were with got their main and starter together even though requested separate. Our mains took ages to arrive as well. Some of the dishes were not to good, the pad Thai chicken was extremely dry to the point it was inedible. We waited long for the dishes to be collected after we ate, about 30 min, and they were only collected when we asked, for some reason they didn’t do it themselves. The waiters looked really unhappy and like they hate their job. Afterwards, we wanted to order desserts, it wasn’t as easy as we would have expected it to be, as it took ages for them to come up and ask, we had to catch them ourselves. Eventually, when we did manage to ask for desserts and get the table cleaned off with the previous dishes, we made a special request on the desserts and asked the waiter to come to us and let us know about the request we have made, instead he just went ahead and ordered it for us without asking. In the end that dessert was not what we requested and included the item we asked to take out. The churros were nice but I feel like the serving of them was not thought through as the amount of chocolate inside the little cup was just laughable and looked silly. In the end we had to again go up and get our bill ourselves as no one came up to us. Additionally, not once did anyone come to us to check on us and how we like the food or not. Half of the bill was also given a discount due to delay of food but considering that the majority amount was paid online and the other part in person the part paid in person was not that big. Plus the discount doesn’t necessarily make it better for the delays and other things that happened. The first time was great and that’s what we expected in the second time but it wasn’t the case. On an extra note, there was not many people in the restaurant at that time so we are not sure why we were ignored by staff multiple times."

"5 star brunch! First time we've eaten here. What a great place. Really friendly service. We took advantage of the £17 for two brunches deal. Beautiful food and great value for money. Nice touch was the smarties for breakfast!
Super location in the centre of the town.
We're planning to come back again soon."
