Lovely view from upstart in this restaurant and the service was excellent. I have only rated it ok because the food that I ordered was not really to my personal taste. I tried a starter that I'd never had before, but it wasn't to my liking. It was beautifully presented though. My main course was roast chicken, which again was perfectly cooked and presented well, but a bit bland for me. Point to note - check the menu before you go as it is quite a small one. .

Very nice food but service was a little slow even when the restaurant wasn’t busy towards the end of the evening. Happily return.

Thoroughly enjoyed our meal..... sea bream and halibut were both absolutely delicious! Picture of restaurant looks a lot bigger online, but this didn’t detract from a very enjoyable experience. 👍🏼😀

The food was absolutely amazing - our son is usually quite fussy but devoured the chicken breast with fondant potatoes, whilst the sea trout risotto was just divine. My wife was also greatly cheered by a lovely piece of venison. 2 courses, 6 plates, nothing left. Credit also to all of the staff who were just immaculate.

Very long wait for food and between courses, duck main cooked through rather than pink and a bit tough, as if had been left sitting for a while on the pass. At end of meal went to use vouchers we had got as a gift and were told they are no longer accepted due to new ownership and to claim back through mustard seed, definitely not putting the customer first in this instance. Staff very friendly and overall atmosphere pleasant however the inconvenience of having to pay and claim back money through a different establishment would make me think twice about returning soon.

Was a lovely meal but very limited menu so I'd suggest you check it out before you go so you know you'd eat there. We would definitely go back.

We were so disappointed with our visit. At no point during the entire booking process were we told our table had a time limit. I received a phone call on the afternoon of my booking to confirm we would still be going & there was no mention at this point either that the time was limited. Once arrived & seated no one mentioned a time limit to us. We ordered starters & mains. After receiving our starters the service was very slow, waiting a while between courses which we were happy to do. After receiving the mains, no one came to check on us & some of our party were wanting sauces. Before our mains were even cleared we were then told we had to vacate the table which came as a complete shock & much disappointment as we were looking forward to dessert & more drinks. The fact the service had been slow & held us up was neither here nor the apparently. Overall it totally ruined our experience & put a complete dampner on our night as it was so unexpected. I wouldn't recommend going if you wish to enjoy a relaxed evening with friends. It's all a big rush & conveyor belt as they clearly take too many bookings for what they can accommodate.

Another visit to the kitchen brasserie in Inverness, this time to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary, when booking a table requested a table with a view as like to look out towards the river and castle at night and with all the lights, its a sight to be seen upon arrival shown to our table ,complimentary prosecco which was a nice touch ,not a fan myself ,but the wife enjoyed, I was happy with the selection of beers ,food top notch as always looking forward to next visit 5 stars again

We wanted to celebrate with a nice meal and booked a table on the top floor, ideally in the window. We were delighted to be seated at the table with the best view in Inverness! The food was excellent and good value and the service was first class. We will definitely be returning! Many thanks, Tony and Stephanie
