It was incredibly noisy, maybe it was because we were table of 2 sandwiched between a table of 12 and other table of 6 who were all shouting and talking very loudly. The downstairs is also a very large space and probably amplifies the noise

This place deserves its reputation for innovation and excellence in Inverness. The food is great—we had daily specials, one scallops, one duck breast—and the service is both friendly and professional.

My husband and I had chosen the salmon. The salmon was alright, but the tenderstem broccoli, 2 peaces, was undercookt. The patatoos were alright, but also a very small portion! And that for 25 pounds! The Eton mess I had afterwards was doeble crean with strawberries and a little bit merinque. I wish it had some icecream...it was very heavy.

We were glad they could change our reservation to the next night after they had kitchen trouble on the night of our original reservation. The mussels were amazing, the venison came out undercooked, and the Monkfish and Salmon were excellent. Our server, Angelina(?), was extremely helpful, fun, and made the dining experience even better.

I went to the Mustard Seed with three friends and we all enjoyed our meal. It was busy, and noisy with a birthday party going on, but it wasn't a problem and we could easily hear our conversations. The only down side was that we were so close to the table next to us that when one of the folk sitting there wanted to get out from his seat, I had to get out of mine to let him out. This happened on three occassions during our meal. Everything else was great.

A lovely airy place. Greeted at the bar and shown to table. Starters of buffalo cauliflower wings and pea and lemon bites and mains of sea bass and hake were wonderfully flavourful. Service second to none. Will definitely be coming back here again. Thank you Mustard Seed.

Service was fine and the atmosphere nice, but the set lunch was mediocre at best. I left most of my sea bass.

I feel as the Mustard Seed isn't what it used to be. They have now cheaper cuts of meat that are the same old prices of the fillet steak that used to be on their menu. I wasn't happy with 2 meals from the specials. Barnacles on my mussels and brown lettuce as my salad. I ordered scallops and I must say, they were the smallest scallops I have ever seen. Used to be our go to for a family meal. Not anymore.

This is my partner's favourite restaurant in Inverness but I don't think it is worth the prices they charge - over £8 for a spring roll in my opinion is very expensive.

Usual great food and service. Staff are fantastic from the second you step through the door. Great choice on the lunch menu, both courses beautifully presented and were very tasty. I finished off with a cappuccino. I was just under £30 for Haggis bon bons, main of Thai Red Curry Sea Bass with rice along with a side of house salad and a Diet Coke. Absolutely worth every penny. I'll definitely be back.
