Very cute and staff was super friendly! If only we were there for conversation and a drink only. The food however was lackluster. Priced high and flavorless. Vegetables were not fresh and bland. Every plate served had a swirl of balsamic reduction to make it look nice but that doesn’t make it worth the higher end feel there were going for. Some of the saddest food ever to be plated.

Nice friendly staff and they acknowledged my husband’s birthday which was lovely. The food and finer details were just “ok” and not as good as some of the other restaurants of a similar nature and price range in Inverness. Irish butter in foils that you get on a low cost flight, ginger beer served in a can, very limited menu (for pescatarian / vegetarian - we only had a choice of 2 mains). The food was “ok” but nothing special and the portions small. The drinks menu for non-alcohol drinkers very limited. Most restaurants now see the potential market for mocktails and more zero alcohol spirits and wines. The location and building were lovely and service good. Just sadly doesn’t compete in Inverness so wouldn’t be somewhere we would return in a hurry. Hopefully the feedback is useful as it wouldn’t take much to make this restaurant better!

Really like the interior of the restaurant and the service was generally good but the food wasn't. It was edible but not good. I had the pakora starter which was ok but not very interesting taste & then the sea bass on a mound of bland potato salad (I can't remember what else should have been on the plate but basically that was all there was). I ate the fish but left most of the potato & the person who cleared didn't ask whether it was ok. The other two I ate with weren't impressed with their meals but it was a birthday and I didn't want to make an issue of it. A real pity - with good food it'd be a great place.

We had a wonderful experience. Adam made sure we had a great table with a view, and also helped us celebrate our anniversary with a surprise glass of Prosecco! The ambiance is beautiful, the food was outstanding, and the service provided by Andrew genuinely friendly and superb. Thank you, Mustard Seed crew, for an unforgettable evening in Inverness!

I think the emphasis on certain dishes was the bread ! The bruschetta was meant to be Brie and fig but all it was , was a thick slice of bread and two slithers of fig and the same of the Brie , very disappointed. The service was nothing special we weren’t asked if we had any allergies ( luckily I chose food that didn’t affect me) Nice atmosphere, but I wouldn’t rush back!

We were given a warm welcome on arrival and shown to our table. The atmosphere was cosy and charming. It was graduation day so the restaurant was busy (and a little loud) and our initial order was a little slow being taken but the staff were friendly and we were not in any hurry. We ordered and the food arrived promptly, it was beautifully presented and was delicious. Everything on the plate worked really well together (sometimes restaurants just put vegetables on the plate as an afterthought but the whole dish was considered and flavourful). The sweet menu was varied (something for everyone) and when the sweets arrived the looked stunning (like get your phone out stunning) and they tasted amazing! Again everything in the plate complimented each other and real though and effort had been put into the dishes. Great value for money in a beautiful setting with lovely staff and delicious food, what more could you want!

Das Essen war super, das Ambiente eigentlich auch. Aber aufgrund der Vielzahl an Gästen war es laut, der Service war viel z7 hektisch und unpersönlich, das Essen kam viel zu schnell, kaummaufgegessen, wurde der Teller abgeräumt. Wir waren nach 1 Stunde fertig mit Vor-, Haupt- und Nachspeise! Also nichts für jemanden, der einen gemütlichen Abend in einem Restaurant verbringen will.
