The Mustard Seed Restaurant

Our food arrived barely warm and my husband's rib-eye steak was the worst rib-eye he has ever eaten. It was filled with a silverskin type membrane that made the meat difficult to cut and eat not the marbling that typically make the steak tender. I had the cod and although the flavour was nice, the dish was not hot.

Great venue , fantastic food & great atmosphere , friendly helpful staff , highly recommend .

Lovely food, great atmosphere and attentive staff, always a good experience at the Mustard Seed xx

We had a lovely meal & the staff were attentive. The food was very good value for money. I would certainly visit again when I’m in Inverness

great place to go for a meal love the location as well overall very happy customer 👍

Very noisy party nearby. Food and service excellent, also great value.

Service and food very poor. Has gone downhill. Menu boring and over priced, cut of meat poor and hard to cut. Won’t be back.

Great food and service! Hope to be back again someday.

We were disappointed with the food to be honest. So much so, they removed the cost of one of the mains.

The whole dining experience was great. Excellent food, well served with lovely atmosphere.

We enjoyed two of our four meals, spinach and ricotta cannelloni (actually used tortellini), but still delicious. The steak dinners were a disappointment—tough and over cooked.

Great service, great food, fun vibe! Highly recommend The Mustard Seed!

Just had a gorgeous meal, new menu. We had pork belly with black pudding and it was yummy. The service was outstanding, the staff really know how to sell the menu and explain everything in detail. Superb time and look forward to our next visit.

Lovely lunch as usual! And the new seating area excellent!

Wunderbares Restaurant, mir super Aussicht auf den Fluss. Am Anfang war es nur etwas laut, da wirklich sehr viele Leute dort waren und sich alles in einem großen Raum befindet

Great food and great service! Asks great atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Food and service were well below expectations for a restaurant of this reputation

Service good as always but all broccoli was severely undercooked, the steak was very tough and the cod tasteless. So overall the worst food we’ve ever had at the Mustard Seed. Very disappointing.

Delicious food, attentive service and lively ambience, really enjoyed it thanks

Service was non existent. We had to ask for a menu after being seated with a reservation. Wait staff barely had smiles on their faces and just dropped off the food and rushed by.

Excellent service Excellent food Excellent menu choices Excellent ambience Thanks……

Lovely lunch as always with great gf options & choices

Lovely staff,relaxed atmosphere,varied menu and good food so an ideal combination.

Food was delicious. Excellent service. Would love to go back someday.

Nous étions 4 et tous nos repas étaient délicieux. Le service était fantastique dans une ambiance merveilleuse.

The restaurant is permanently out booked, the food is worthy, the staff cared with a smile, absolute recommendable

Easy to book , friendly helpful staff. Nice atmosphere in the restaurant

Très cher pour une qualité correcte mais sans plus. Une déception

The food was fantastic, it was bustling and vibrant the staff were great especially the young lady that served us.

Lovely food, great service. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great location with views of the river

Amazing food and service was very organized. A great overall dining experience, we were very happy with this restaurant!

Lovely atmosphere, good food and great service. Out entree was standout, perhaps the best mussels I’ve ever had! Really enjoyed our dinner.

First class service and food, excellent value for money recomend

Food was amazing . Staff were very nice will be back for sure

Food was good. Too many different servers - lapses in communication. Waited over 20 minutes for dessert, coffee never came.

Lovely evening meal, food was delicious and not overpriced for the set menu. Staff were really friendly and really looked after us. Thank you!

This is a charming restaurant with great food and staff.

Excellent food, service, and ambience. Only critique is their cheap, dull steak knives.

Goede service, vriendelijke gastheer en geweldig eten op een prachtige locatie. 10/10

We meet amazing people out of the North-ouest vlast of Scotland and people of Syria; we had a very Nice talk with them, enjoying a delicious meal.

service was great. food excellent. we enjoyed it very much!

Great service from cheerful staff. Food excellent as usual. Thanks

We were disappointed. The recommendation wasn't fulfilled. The cozy atmosphere was missing. The food wasn't as good as expected. The salmon was overcooked, not seasoned, and the chicken was dry and tough.

Super food, monkfish for me & lamb shank for companion

I was really excited to visit the Mustard Seed again after 10 years (I'm not local), I had specifically planned to return and included in my resevation my excitement to return. Unfortunately, as a lone diner I was stuck up a corner in an annex to the main resturant on a wobbly table - it made me feel more isolated as a lone diner, it also removed me to the atmosphere of the resturant and removed any opportunity of enjoyment of the architecture of the main building (it was busy, and when I arrived my table wasn't ready, so I didn't feel I could ask to be moved). I had also noted that I had a fish and seafood allergy, but was told the specials, all of which were fish and seafood, which made me feel they hadn't read my resevation note and also wasted the staff's time on a busy evening. I ordered the truffles, which were presented as three battered mushrooms (I doubt they were truffles) around a huge piece of polenta which felt like a stodgy distraction. My main was the beetroot and goat cheese risotto, which again was stodgy - with how great my original experience of the mustard seed had been I had expected a beautiful delicate meal, but instead I was served a huge plate of bright pink risotto with a large amount of green garnish on top. It would have been much more attractive and managable (I think for most people) to receive half the size of the portion with the rest of the bowl delicately dressed in garnish - as the Mustard Seed are good at presentation from the other plates I saw delivered to nearby tables. My drink of lemon and lime also wasn't served until my main arrived, I had wondered whether it had been forgotted. I didn't stay for dessert as I felt I'd experienced enough dissapointment for the visit. The staff were generally pleasant, but I won't be planning a trip to the Mustard Seed again if I find myself in Inverness. I do wish them the best of luck for the future.

From start to finish we had a delicious meal. Our server Bridget, a woman of few words, was not the most helpful. However, the server assistant, Rachael, was an delight and made our evening special.

The food was great, the atmosphere buzzy and the staff friendly.

Great place for dinner overlooking the water. Food & drinks are excellent.

Exceptional food, great atmosphere, attentive staff. Mustard seed never fails.

Lovely staff, young lady knew exactly when we needed assistance & when to leave us to eat our meal, think her name began with a B? Lovely young lad was duty manager & made the right amount of small talk , very professional. Food delicious as always, I had the panko black pudding followed by chicken breast, my dining guest had Caesar salad followed by the lamb sausages, all choices delicious. Washed down with a bottle of El Niño Paper red wine Whole meal excellent value for money Two repeat customers
