It was my first visit to The Mustard Seed. I'd walked in before but been unsuccessful so this time I booked. What a wonderful menu. We tried the spicy pakira and mackerel pate for starters. Then the steak and the pork lion for mains. All were wonderful and great value. I can't wait to return.

Restaurant was great but we were sat in an alcove that felt very apart from the restaurant. Asked to sit by the fireplace and it was a no. Had these reservations made months in advance and came from Texas. Make sure you get a table by the fireplace or at least upstairs. Would come again.

Important Update:

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

Upon completing our dinner service in a loud/noisy dining room (minimal sound insulation and everything echoed) the server took our dishes and then stopped checking in on us. This was unexpected given that Mustard Seed was so highly rated for food and service levels. This would have been fine but when we were ready for our check, but between the 3-4 wait staff running around, none made eye contact with us for us to get their attention. I even raised my hand politely and was not able to get their attention. Ultimately had to stand up in their path to ask for the check after 15minutes of trying to get someone's attention.

We booked with friends and requested a window table. Walked in a little late and were shown straight to the perfect table. Food great and we had a very relaxed evening. Only qualification is that a member of staff was off work and, being short handed, service was a little slow.

Starters were enjoyable but main courses were not. Well below our expectations of this restaurant which usually has elegant tasty main courses.

Lovely restaurant by the river! Friendly and thoughtful servers. The pan fried hake was just okay, not excellent. Everything else we had was great! Loved the Haggis, the lamb and the sticky toffee pudding.

Cozy restaurant with a beautiful decoration, warm light and jazz ambience music, everything made the experience really nice. Helpful and attentive staff. Food was quite good, we tasted prawn cocktail, salmon, duck and cheesecake, well quality-price related. If we have another opportunity to visit Inverness we will come back for sure.
