Very pleasant experience and the food was amazing. Bit of table shuffling beside us by the staff so the manageress gave us our bottle of wine on the house for the inconvenience . Very nice gesture. Definitely visit next time we visit Inverness.

We ordered steak which was very fatty, and the mustard/ pepper sauce was overwhelming in flavour and quantity. Insufficient veg. The sticky toffee pudding was very dry and virtually impossible to eat with a spoon, as though it had been microwaved for too long. Certainly not value for money and would think twice about going back.

Unfortunately, our dinner experience last night was quite disappointing. Our table was poorly placed under a noticeable draft from above, and the atmosphere was rather noisy, making it difficult to enjoy our meal comfortably. The service left much to be desired. Our waitress, an older woman, seemed impatient and serious throughout the evening. She answered our questions in a rude and dismissive manner and never came by to check on us while we were eating. Towards the end of the meal, when she finally tried to engage a little with us, she walked away before we could even finish answering the questions. The staff overall seemed stressed and possibly understaffed. At one point, a waitress accidentally dropped a shrimp on the floor while serving another table, and instead of addressing the situation, she pretended nothing had happened until the customers themselves noticed and complained. Additionally, the staff were polishing cutlery right behind our table, which felt unprofessional and disruptive. As for the food, while it was decent, both my companion and I ordered our meat medium rare, but both were unfortunately overcooked. Overall, this experience fell far below our expectations. The atmosphere, service, and attention to detail left much to be desired. Sadly, I cannot recommend this restaurant based on our visit.

Location and ambience are fabulous! Restaurant was busy and staff seemed a bit unhinged. Ordered wine and the wrong bottle was brought to the table. We insisted it was incorrect. Upon checking they determined the wine we ordered was not available. Ordered a different bottle. Was surprised at the “oh well”, no concern or apology from the staff. Salmon and cod excellent. Mashed potatoes a bit dry. You have a beautiful spot! Keep it up and remember that attention to detail is important! All in all an enjoyable evening!!

We were there on Wednesday 2 April having been on previous visits to Inverness. The food was good, as was the service, although a starter was delivered before the wine, which had to be requested again. The only disappointment was that our upstairs seat was a little uncomfortable due to a window/door being ajar - obviously to suit the people seated there. As we could see no vacant tables around us when ordering our food we did not request another table. Decided to leave and go somewhere warmer for coffee.

It was just ok. Was a bit concerned about the chicken some pink bits and felt it needed cooked longer as very rubbery so left a good bit of it.
