About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Fancy
  • Romantic
At Commons Club, right here in the heart of Victoria Street, we believe the best dishes start with the finest ingredients, and there’s nothing quite like what Scotland has to offer. We’re proud to use exceptional local produce, from Loch Dowar smoked salmon to the freshest seasonal catches and quality cuts like our Aberdeen Angus beef - specially selected from John Gilmour Butchers, who work closely with Scottish farmers to supply some of the finest sustainably farmed meat in the country. It’s not just about flavour, but about supporting local producers and doing things the right way, which we take seriously here. Our dedicated team takes pride in making every visit welcoming and memorable, serving up the true taste of Scotland with care and attention. Chef de Cuisine, Emma Hanley, ensures every dish reflects the natural beauty and rich heritage of our country, crafted with skill and genuine respect for quality.

    Food was very average, no Lobster available, steak was tough as old boots, whilst oozing blood (ordered medium-well?). Waitress was nice and setting quite nice. Left us a little disappointed overall.

    The ambiance was nice, but the service on the evening of December 26, 2025 was just adequate (all courses were delayed). The £35 lobster was not worth the price (size of a prawn). The wait staff were friendly and accommodating when we could get their attention.

    The restaurant itself was absolutely beautiful. The food was gorgeous. Lots of options everyone enjoyed their food thoroughly. We were celebrating lots of occasions and they went the extra mile for us. The staff were so friendly and helpful with options. Would give 6 stars if it was possible. Would highly recommend
