The Mustard Seed Restaurant

Weather was beautiful - would have loved to have sat on the balcony while the sun was out! Definitely opportunity to optimise the warm days! But the food was excellent, as was the service; thank you.

Excellent efficient service and high quality food for reasonable price. My friend said her fish pie was the best she’d ever had and she almost always has fish dishes when eating out. Lovely table with a river view too. A real treat.

Great food, great wine, and great service! I would come here again.

Place is a little loud as it was very busy

Lovely food, just all a bit rushed. Our drinks arrived about a minute before our starter. Great value though

As requested, we were given seats downstairs, and the food and service was as good as ever. We don't live in Inverness, but always try to eat at the Mustard Seed when we are staying overnight in town. Will be eating here whenever we can... Thanks!

We visited the restaurant as it was on the River and were looking forward to the views. Unfortunately we were seated in a small back room with no windows making for an underwhelming experience. Otherwise, the food and staff were great.

Very friendly and professional staff. Though restaurant was very busy, they always had time for you.

The food was good, unfortunately the service was not great. They were inattentive and not very welcoming at all.

Disappointingly the roast of the day was sold out by 1pm. Food and service good.

Very good lunch with excellent service and charming surroundings. Will come again

We always visit the Mustard Seed when in Inverness, and it never disappoints. Thoroughly recommended.

As always we were welcomed and the food was excellent. Unfortunately we were shown to a table in a packed area where it was difficult to speak. We had booked well in advance to celebrate a special occasion so this was disappointing. After discussion with staff and a longish wait we were moved to a more suitable table which we appreciated. Whilst we know profits are important it is good to remember so is the customer experience. Hence the slightly lower marking of satisfaction.

Awesome Dinner! The Fish trio appetizer was amazing. Service was great. Would definitely recommend.

Very well run restaurant. Consistently good. Would recommend to all

The Mustard Seed is one of our favourite restaurants! Always great food and amazing service and atmosphere!

Lunchtime visit. Lovely food served quickly and efficiently. Will be back again soon.

As always a very delicious meal and excellent service. Looking forward to returning soon!

The food was amazing and the staff were incredibly attentive and helpful.

Excellent food and quick service. Very good value lunchtime menu

Food was excellent, plenty of it too. Staff were very nice and helpful.

Booked 2 months in advance asking for a table with a view If possible. Arrived on time. escorted to a table which had not been set, and looked directly into the staff working/ cleaning area. Never shown the daily specials . Waitress clueless and unable to open our wine.food average and definitely not value for money. Definitely our worst dining experience in Scotland over 3 weeks

Excellent service, staff, food,atmosphere. always enjoy our visit to the Mustard Seed

We visited at lunchtime and had food from the set menu which we were very impressed by. The food was great value for such high quality produce. Can highly recommend the Stornoway black pudding and blue cheese bon bons starter and the Chef’s Own Fish Pie main was amazing. Would definitely return next time we visit Inverness. Staff, ambience and surroundings all added to this wonderful restaurant. If you’re undecided about where to eat in Inverness go to The Mustard Seed!

Generally good although I personally found the choices on the menu a bit restricted given my personal preferences.

Fabulous! Great dining experience! Service and food was very good!

Delicious food and friendly service. Great family restaurant. Definitely recommend.

A lovely venue inside but our experience was disappointing. Our meals were luke warm, the portions small relative to the cost and the service was mediocre and slow. Our waitress wasn't sharp or that on it and this always sets the tone of one's experience. I wouldn't return in a hurry and didn't feel it was value for money.

Very nice ambience and great food. I highly recommend the duck, if available.

Loved the food! Highly recommended. Great ambience and good selection of drinks

A lovely greeting at the door, an amazing atmosphere, the team were great. The food was delicious, I had the specials, mussels and duck, both were presented beautifully and tasted awesome. It was a perfect birthday evening out. Well done.

Very good food, especially the seafood! Would recommend for sure

Very good experience - well presented, tasty food and excellent service from staff.

Absolutely fantastic, staff are wonderful; so professional and attentive but really relaxed. Food was fabulous. It was for a birthday meal and it was a really special and memorable meal out.

Can only heap praise on every member of the Mustard Seed staff. Continuing to deliver an outstanding level from booking to enjoying the food. A 5 star visit (as always).

Food and service really good. Orkney waitress exceptional as was the American who served us. Haven't been for ages but will defo return.

Lovely meal, excellent service from the staff as it always is. Got my favourite table. Thankyou

My partner and I had yet another great meal in this wonderful restaurant. I’ve been many times over the years and have never been disappointed. Lovely food and great atmosphere and at a very reasonable price which is difficult to find these days. Well done to all the staff for their hard work and excellent service. My only complaint would be that you have to book well in advance as they are so popular but hey ho it’s definitely worth the wait. 😊

The food was good, not great. Risotto was bland and mushy. Our server was not friendly. From prior reviews we were expecting more. The restaurant is very quiet upstairs

Lovely food in a lovely restaurant. It would be nice to have draught beer rather than expensive bottles and cans

We’ll be back, great food, and excellent service and location

My 2 sisters my brother and myself had a really lovely lunch.

Mustard Seed restaurant left my wife and I with a great memory. Food, Staff and Atmosphere the best in Inverness.

Nope. After one hour and 15 minutes we still did not have our food. When it arrived, my order was completely wrong and half missing. The steak my sister had was not good but she enjoyed the potatoes. The chicken and monk fish were good but risotto was inedible. Our server did not mention specials and did not ask for drink order before asking what we wanted to order. Our server seemed new, but also not very interested, the manager tried to salvage plethora of mistakes but average food at high prices will not have us returning nor recommending. We had such high expectations but boo.

Pork-and-apple burger was too salty and otherwise dry and tasteless. The apple-cinnamon crumble tasted stale. The server was hard to find, and the hostess had to fill in for her.

Every time we visit Inverness we always have a fantastic meal at The Mustard Seed . Staff very friendly and knowledgeable good atmosphere love it.

Getting the check from the time we finished eating took almost 45 minutes, despite asking the server and seeing them attend to other people multiple times after we requested. We ended up getting up to try to talk to someone to get it, but our original server walked straight past us as well as who we think was the restaurant manager (though not sure). Food was decent, but overall the restaurant seemed overrated given the reviews.

Perfect as usual food great friendly staff all u wanted For a meal out.

Food was amazing, service was great! Loved this place! ❤️ Definitely have to put it on your list when you are in Inverness!

Personale molto gentile; cibo ottimo, anche se prezzo un po’ altino. Sicuramente uno dei migliori ristoranti per mangiare qua a inverness
