The restaurant was lively, staff friendly and efficient. The food was wonderful. I had a starter trio of salmon that was the best starter I have ever had! Fillet steak was perfection and my wife was delighted with the rib eye. Superb

This is a restaurant that we frequent every month as they vary the menus on a monthly basis. Always get a very good reasonably priced 2 course lunch but the sea bass (2 course) and Xmas turkey (3 course set) menus today were excellent. This was only topped off by our waiter Daniel that we have never seen before. Unfortunately, he is leaving shortly but is a credit to the restaurant. Glenn & Orla

I had keek and potato soup, it was totally impossible to distinguish any potato or leek flavour. It was a purée and tasted very strongly of Boullion or similar..

Lovely welcome, cosy, seasonal surroundings. Food was beautifully served and delicious. Staff very friendly. My only comment would be, I didn't like the Worcester/Tabasco sauce over the turkey. I’m not a fan of these so didn’t like that. It’s quite a strong flavour and not what I would have with a turkey Christmas dinner. Otherwise it was delicious. I then had sticky toffee pudding, and felt the sauce was very, very sweet today. I don’t like giving negative feedback but these are my honest thoughts about my meal today. I hope it is helpful.

We hadn't been to the Mustard Seed for a while, but we had to be in Inverness on the morning of my wife's (Susy's) birthday so I booked a table. The welcome was warming the service excellent and and ended with a lovely touch of a sparkly candle in a scoop of ice cream to celebrate her birthday. Charles

Went on a Tuesday evening, the restaurant was bustling but not completely full. Service was extremely quick, to the point of being peremptory and almost rude. We felt very rushed. The food was really good although we don’t understand why, if you wanted to order the fixed price for 3 courses Christmas menu, you could only do that if the whole table ordered from it. Again, we were told that in quite a dismissive way. In short, the food was great, and the premises are lovely, but the service wasn’t particularly nice, and the menu ordering rule was just odd.

The waiter was very knowledgeable and personable, and we warmed to him straight away. We only had mains, I had duck, which was lovely, but I did expect the skin to be crispy but it wasn’t. All the same it was good food. My friend had the Salmon, she doesn’t eat the skin, so would have liked more of the sauce, (as she removed the skin.) The posset was a bit of a let down not enough posset and the pastry was anaemic and not crispy enough, it was very underwhelming, (could lose the pastry and add a ginger crunch and it would have been stunning with more of the posset) My friend had the cheesecake which was absolutely lovely. So a mixed bag from us, but we would return. It’s a lovely place.
