Food was good but disappointed with the table out the back( booked 5 months ago), noisy and service was average. Tables upstairs with a view of the river looked nice

My wife and I were in town for her birthday and we loved trying a lot of the local fare based on friends' recommendations and ratings—and top of the list was The Mustard Seed. Knowing it was a popular place, we tried going by both the make-a-reservation route and the pop-by early walk-in route with no luck. We checked again about a week later and were excited to finally see an opening for 5pm on a Thursday, about 2 days in advance. After all the hype, we were ecstatic to try the food and sadly . . . service was transactional (but very professional), cocktails were sweeter than expected, and the main dishes were underwhelming. The sauce in our pre-theater dinners was really salty, the rice was undercooked, and the peas were hard. However, the seafood starter with the salmon pate and prawns were absolutely divine. And so was the carrot soup. Despite everything, we really liked the ambience and look forward to trying it again in the off-chance it's slow enough for a warmer experience with more attention paid to the main dishes.

The place had nice atmosphere, with an interesting menu and great service.

Great to be back at the Mustard Seed. Food as good as ever.

Best muscles in the world. Everything was so fresh. Only salad I have had in Scotland ❤️ Service was prompt and wait staff were so fun

Food was amazing, so flavorful and came out all together (which is a pet peeve of mine when someone is waiting for their meal). A very pleasant visit. Highly recommend.

Really good food, nice atmosphere and nice staff :-) Could be a bit quieter in the restaurant. But everything was really delicious! Would recommend anytime.

Great lunch at the Mustard Seed. The good was excellent quality and range and the staff accommodating to special requests inc that we arrived early and had a number of dietries. Would highly recommend

Food amazing service amazing and staff amazing will defo come back

We enjoyed an excellent pre-theatre dinner at The Mustard Seed. The service was charming and on-point. The menu offered plenty of choice with some lovely “specials”.

The food was to a very high standard as always. However, we had booked a table for 1700 thinking this was ample time for a meal before heading to the theatre at 1915. A short time after ordering our desserts, a very large group of US tourists arrived and from this time the service level dipped considerably. There were quite simply not enough staff to deal with a full restaurant. As a result there was a significant delay in our dessert being cleared and receiving our coffee. Our coffee was thereafter rushed and we made it to the theatre with two minutes to spare which was far from ideal. I think it is important to remember that large groups of tourists bring money however they generally only visit once. Do not neglect your local customers who have a number of other options to choose from.

Great restaurant with excellent food and staff. This was a return visit and we will be back again. Early evening menu terrific value.

Donna was great! All food delicious and so fresh! Thanks for the hospitality!

Great expérience. The service was perfect and the food was tasty.

Very disappointed in our time here. The service was the worst I’ve experienced in years. No smiles and rude/stressed service.

Recommended items were good; service was rushed, felt pushed out.

Food was good. Service was pushy, obviously trying to turn tables. It ruins the experience.

The food was excellent, the staff were attentive, the table was small.

We were warmly welcomed. I can only comment on my food and not the group's meals. The Mackerel and Salmon pate starter was delicious as was the main dish of Sea Bass. Daniel, our server was lovely, really pleasant and efficient. Nice to have proper linen napkins too.

Excellent friendly service with top notch food at a great price.

DELICIOUS lunch! Only wish the portions were a bit bigger; when ordering scallops I thought I'd get more than just 3 scallops...but incredibly tasty and a decent price.

Great welcome by maitre de followed by an amazing meal!

Good service excellent meal the employees were friendly and professional

Very good food. Nice ambiance with courteous and efficient waiting staff

Wonderful dinner, the food was amazing and a very nice restaurant!

The mustard has fantastic staff, a wonderful atmosphere and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. In my opinion the best values for money restaurant I’ve been too especially the lunchtime menu

Dinner was lovely . Best mussels we've ever had . Drinks were amazing 👏

Great food and service. Always come here when in Inverness and never been disappointed.

Nice staff, pleasant atmosphere, food not that impressive. Expected better.

Fantastic meal as always. Have been going to this restaurant for years. The value for money lunch is superb. The staff are so nice and friendly. The views over the river are beautiful.

What a wonderful restaurant! If you are ever in Inverness, you must make a reservation at The Mustard Seed. Truly special.

Always great food in the Mustard Seed. Don't think I've ever had a bad meal there, and the service is always excellent.

The manager, the staff who served me were all very friendly and inviting! The owner came up to me and had a very nice conversation. I appreciate that because I am a solo traveller and I wanted to speak to at least someone! So thank you. And thank you to the kitchen staff for preparing the food so no nicely and quickly. I will recommend this place on my social media account. P.s. I’m a content creator.

A bit underwhelming sadly, the food was good but not great. Also even though we had a reservation we waited 15 minutes to be seated. The good points were the staff, who were nice and the ambiance with the views of the river.

Food tastefull, atmosphère party. Good wine. I recommand this place

Our favorite meal during our 8 day visit to Scotland. Great atmosphere, incredible food, and lovely wine. A must visit while in Inverness.

Excellent service and delicious food! The scallop special was superb.

We were a bit disappointed. The food was adequate, the place was really noisy. However the service was good even though the servers were extremely busy that Sunday night.

I like dining here. The staff are very efficient and food very good.

Wonderful in every way. Have already booked again…can’t wait to come back

Attentive friendly service, good menu choice and lovely food that's different from other restaurants. Enjoyed our lunch very much

Food was OK and thats about all we can say. Had much better meals at The Mustard Seed in the past.

Loved the beautiful restaurant and the delicious food. Strongly recommended to visiting tourists

Lovely meal with plenty options. Bit on the pricey side but nice for a special occasion. Lovely staff.

Quick visit after a long drive, superb food. Being a Saturday, it was very busy and very noisy, but it didn't spoil the experience.

Server worked hard and was friendly. Salmon ok. Duck good. Venison good. Rib eye ok. Notice no amazing?

Heard so many about this restaurant and we certainly weren't disappointed the staff were friendly and helpful nice table set up upstairs service was excellent and the food was excellent and reasonable priced, will definitely be back

The food was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive

One always has a lovely meal here. My husband had the hake which he said was nice but wished he ordered the Sea Bass once he tasted mine.

Could not fault restaurant. Service was amazing, food was quick and very tasty. We sat outside on balcony so had great views of river
