The food is excellent but the service for follow up drinks was not good and we felt very cramped in the space. The tables were very close and near the stairs and service station. Not impressed.

Booked dinner for 4 prior to concert. Time constraint meant we could only have one course. That was so delicious we wished we had booked in earlier to take full advantage. Will come another time when timing not an issue.

Pork belly starter was a real standout. My miso halibut was fantastic but hard to eat. (Very large sized cuts of veggies in a soup format) Service was phenomenal. Would absolutely recommend for a unique meal in Inverness.

Great, friendly front of house staff. Limited menu choices for starter and main courses. 2 fish options, 2 vegetarian options or venison only!! I would like to see a wider variety of options on the menu before we return. Beautiful setting.

I asked this group of 6 if they enjoyed their meal and their response was muted. They said it was okay but the menu was very limited and the food they chose was just 'okay'. This response is very similar to that of a group that visited with myself two weeks ago 5 persons without reservation. We all had the Mushroom and gnocchi broth as a main course and I was extremely disappointed with that as a main course. If anything it was nothing more than a very watery soup / starter with only four little pieces of gnocchi and some little mushrooms. The only saving grace was the position of the tables and the view from restaurant. So altogether a very poor experience and I will not be recommending the Kitchen to further customers.

The menu was original and well executed. Service was great, but to be told as you’re being seated at 7.30 that you have the table for 2 hours, seems unwelcoming, and as it turns out, completely unnecessary since they were clearing up as we left just after 9.30

We were on floor 2, by the open window with a table of Americans beside us. Not quiet... The food was very good. The only suggestion I could make was that the sauce with linguine and hot smoked salmon could have had some double cream (or similar) added as it was a tad dry. I would love to come again if/when back in Inverness.
