We went to Howie's with a larger group and had a room to ourselves. The ambiance was amazing. I loved the lighted candles and décor. Really a beautiful place to eat. The food was very good. But the chips were the best we had in Scotland. Also, the waiters were very helpful and friendly. While in Aberdeen, I would really recommend Howie's. The pictures on the TripAdvisor site do not do it justice.
