The Kitchen Restaurant

The food was gorgeous, the service spot on & the view awesome. I especially loved the crab, creamed savoy & cranachan. I chose the wrong wine - the Spanish house wine was not all that, but my fault!

The staff were lovely and the food was very good but it was so slow, we were booked and arrived at 7.30 , starters arrived 8 and then main courses arrived an hour later. Haven’t been for a long time and sadly won’t return any time soon 🥲

The food, wine, setting, and attention to my GF restriction were all wonderful. The manager/owner was really cool and the GF bread was delicious as well. The only odd thing was that when we ordered a bottle of wine, our server asked us if we wanted a bottle each (there were only the two of us) which we thought was hilarious, but I think she really sincerely meant it. We opted to just order the one bottle. We very much enjoyed the menu and the modern aesthetic of the restaurant.

The food and the service were great and we really enjoyed the meal! The Ham Hock starter was one of the best that I have had and the Pork 'special' was excellent, but could have included mashed potato within the price, to balance the richness of the rest of the meal. Overall, the experience was excellent and we will be back!

Everything was very nice but to be perfectly honest ( and this reflects on most restaurants in these times) the prices are just so high now that it seems wrong to be spending that much just on a meal out. We won’t be doing it again for a long time. would rather get good quality take -away and eat at home. Sorry, I do realise that times are hard for restaurants, but I’m sure we’re not the only ones to balk at current prices.

As usual we were greeted with a smile. Great service, great food and a nice atmosphere. Always our go to restaurant when we visit inverness

The staff were very friendly and considerate, the menu was varied and the food was delicious and served without delay. Altogether an enjoyable dining experience.

Amazing lunch with fantastic food. The staff at the kitchen are exceptional.

Food & service, very good. Had a lovely view over the river & castle.

Warm welcome, happy to help, lovely seat, service with a smile. Food was fabulous. Mackrel starter was really good

Supermarket microwave meals masquerading as “excellent Scottish produce’. The gnocchi was literally the same gnocchi you pay £1 in the shops. Mushroom sauce was mostly mushroom stems. Dessert was nice but was actually from the patisserie next door (O’Delice, you can just go there and get it for a third of the price). £5.25 for a couple of slices of bread that you can can buy from The Bakery (it’s about £4 for a whole loaf). Used to have venison or steak offerings but are no longer on the menu, I’m assuming that’s because you can’t microwave either of those options. Used to be a great place but your better off getting a similar level of food from the Wetherspoons for a much fairer price.

Exceptional food and service. Couldn’t have asked for more. Shania went above and beyond to accommodate. Hand on heart one of the best dining experiences I’ve experienced.

Kitchen was apparently understaffed, so service was painfully slow. Both my and my partner's main courses were overdone and poor overall. Have been to this restaurant several times before but may not go again.

Not enough gf options for me. Menu had changed on the day we visited so I was expecting the previous menu. I had steak and chips and that's what it was, no trimmings or vegetables. Steak was tender , chips were hard and overcooked, I thought the sauce was meant to be bernaise but I don't know what it was, sort of brown, sweet with pepper corns. Rice pudding was good. No parmesan for anyone's pasta. In the past I've found The Kitchen innovative with an interesting menu. The food a cut above. I used to put The Kitchen in my top places in Inverness to eat, sorry not this time. Will look for other lunchtime venue

Staff were exe The food was great would go again

Fantastic food and excellent service, all that you want in a restaurant.

We had a lovely meal and a good evening. We would all recomend a visit.

Spectacular food and wonderful service. I’d definitely eat here again.

Loved the food but waited rather a long time when we entered the restaurant then was shown to our table had to ask for the menu and if we could order a drink so service was poor

Amazon experience and top quality dining. The team couldn’t have made it more special for my sisters birthday thank you so much.

Wonderful dinner! Loved the mushroom soup. Fantastic view from the 3rd floor. Highly recommended!

Really relaxing lunch, tasty food, wonderful view of the river, attentive service … what more could you want?

Great location, broad range of menu options, friendly staff and above all superb food, well worth a visit.

Beautiful restaurant and lovely food.Staff very friendly and attentive.Would love to come back

Having visited this restaurant many times in the past I was disappointed with this visit. The menu was very limited with no specials on offer. The quality of food was acceptable but the portions were small. My Lemon Sole dish was more like a starter and this is not reflected in the price. When we did get the bill, we were charged for a drink that we did not order. I’m not rushing back!

Really great food, great service! Very friendly staff. Will visit again!

Great meal. One of the best we had in Scotland.

Had a delightful time. Loved the small rooms with view of River Ness;food was excellent!

This may not be an accurate review, since the restaurant was virtually empty at lunchtime. However, the food was outstanding, and the service was way over the top.

We thought the environment was very pleasant and the food was imaginative and creative. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Unfortunately the choice of dairy free options gave me 2 starter options, 1 main and 1 desert. The portion sizes were small and I was sat near the door, so was really cold with people coming in and out. There was no sweetners available with the hot drinks, but the coffee was really good and the desert was delicious. The waitress forgot to give me the desert menu, so I was waiting about 15 mins for this. I wasn't in a rush though, so this was OK.

Ordered Scallops as a starter ...I got ONE Scallop which for some reason had been shredded ?? The rest of the dish was salad on top of the Scallop. Unacceptable small portion sizes .

Kindest waitress led us through a marvelous meal all the while overlooking the River. The bread that came with the lovely mushroom soup bumped any thought of desert but was so darn good. Excellent mains with surprising tastes and textures(I had the Bream). Left full and smiling.

Very attentive service, nice food apart from if I'm paying £22-50 for a 6oz steak I would appreciate proper chips not macdonalds version Everything else perfect

Lovely food and great service with a view. Great way to spend our wedding anniversary.

Staff was schizophrenic. Ambiance in the place was terrible. Food was okay but not exceptional. Can’t believe I wasted my time here.

Amazing food, awesome staff - food was perfection, be back again soon

As ever, fabulous! Fab view, food, and good value for money.

Came in as a couple. My partner's main course was served under cooked. Servers took this away but left mine on the table. 20 minutes later we were still waiting. Partner left and I had to negotiate with the staff. My food was pleasant but certainly not exceptional. Hardly a nice evening for two.

The food was very good and staff very attentive and pleasant. Xx

Food was great! Our waitress was also amazing! Highly recommend.

we enjoyed our stay very much, nice atmosphere and very good service, very good food

Incredible food the steak was amazing and staff were really helpful

We where on the third floor a table for two with no light over the table so it was dark ,The menu very poor .We had the lentil and ham soup which was burnt then the main course was chicken with lentil and some sort of vegetable the meal was very poor .Very over priced, came out the restaurant still hungry .Would definitely not recommend this restaurant for food.

We had an excellent leisurely lunch. Food choices and prices just right with impeccable service.

Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Food was absolutely delicious.

Lovely meal, sympathetic and considerate service. Love this place! 😀

Pricey and small quantities. Service was good. Could do with some more choices on main course.

Sehr leckeres Essen! Sehr freundliches und professionelles Personal!!! Alles perfekt!

Good food, good service, good view and nice company joined
