    Excellent lunch, the service was very good and attentive, from the warm welcome of the lady in charge to the young waitressing staff on the first floor. The food was delicious and the bill was the best part. Really recommend this lovely restaurant

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    Our food took about 45min to arrive. Tables around us had their starters and mains before our dishes arrived. Food was delicious but over all experience was poor.

    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!

    Dinner was great! Had the best salad and the thyme chicken. They were able to change the sauce to accommodate my food allergies and it was yummy! Would definitely recommend getting rezis in advance!

    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.

    Amazing food - would definitely come back! We ordered the lamb shank (a daily special) and the venison and both were absolutely divine. We ordered some cocktails and whiskey and everything came quickly and was delicious. The service was very attentive and friendly. The value for what you get is good but a tad on the expensive side.

    Worst place for our 10th anniversary dinner. Completely disappointed by ambience, cuisine (ordinary and unflavorful for the price). Stay was kind but not exceptional. We waited a hour for our main course. Preference was give.n to obnoxiously loud large parties. There was a section that seemed ideal for quieter couple dinners but we were not seated there. Worst part of our vacation weekend in Inverness.

    We each had the special lamb but both were only warm. My wife asked if she could have a hot one. She had started to eat her piece of lamb and this was taken away and heated up and the same piece returned with fresh vegetables. Should this not have been a complete fresh dish

    Excellent! Wonderful meal and the staff were outstanding. We had a reservation and the host put us in a seat window overlooking the river. I had duck, amazing and my partner the Sea-bass. Have a reservation but yes a must in Inverness

    this is an attempt at fine dining and it is just that 'fine' as in OK. not terrible, not brilliant but fine, OK. Service friendly enough but staff seemed under pressure .scallop & black pudding pretty good but came with a weird salad of the sort that usually garnishes tired sandwiches . Venison slightly over cooked and had odd pointless smear of balsamic vinegar. it as though the chef has seen some pictures and is trying to copy rather than think about flavour.

    A very perfect dinner with great venison, considerate service and good red wine. Maybe it's because the venison is wild. It's well-cooked and slightly dry, but it's perfect with sauce. The dessert is a little too sweet for me, but overall it is still a very good meal.
