It was a restaurant recommended by friends vacationing in Inverness. Certainly lived up to its reputation.. friendliest staff, fresh/ locally sourced food, and creative use of ingredients. Interior is unique. Definitely include this restaurant on your list when visiting Inverness! Book in advance!

L'assaisonnement des plats était grossier, c'était mauvais. Par exemple la sauce salade était trop vinaigrée, et il y avait bien trop de sauce soja dans l'accompagnement du porc, on ne sentait que cela. Le service était correct mais pas souriant. La bouteille de vin que nous avions commandée avant tout le reste pour la commencer en apéritif nous a été apportée après le premier plat.

We went there for lunch after a tour of Inverness. We were seated promptly and our waitress Donna was very attentive. The food was tasty and was delivered quickly. We would certainly go back again if we had more time in Inverness.

Have had lovely meals in The Mustard Seed but unfortunately our meal this visit was not nice. Side orders came after the meal was served and we had to ask about them. I asked for a sauce to be separate and not put onto the dish, after the waitdress clarified this the meal came with the gravy all over it. The veg was very hard and the fish dish that was ordered came cold. For sweet I ordered the custard tart, which was not nice and I was not able to eat it. Staff did not return to the table to take our payment. First time I did not leave a tip, which I would always do but felt this meal was very disappointing.

We arrived at 8:17 for our 8:30 reservation. The waitress forgot to tell us about the specials. We ordered then had to request water later. It took 15 minutes to receive the wine we had ordered. Our dinner arrived at 9:24 p.m. and the ribeye was way overcooked. I never send meals back to the kitchen but I could hardly cut it. The manager arrives to tell me that the middle of the steak was medium to perfection & it was only the outside that was overcooked. Huh?!? They cooked another steak for me. Half of it was okayI; much was overcooked or grisly. It was better but partly overcooked as well. 2 other tables complained about the time and their food. By the time we ate, it was 10:00 p.m. We and other patrons kept grabbing Zander to help us. He was very competent. Other waitstaff of so much.

Although the food was good, and the atmosphere was nice, I felt like the service team was odd--my server who took my order seemed a little militant and unfriendly, barking orders at other team members. Not a good vibe.

Perfect! Great menu, comfortable ambiance with attentive staff. Nice delivery time between courses and a refill of water without having to ask. Steak was cooked to perfection!! Everything from the cheery welcome to the “have a lovely afternoon” as we were leaving was on point. Will definitely be back.

We were a group of ‘old schoolgirls’ from Skye on their annual reunion lunch at the fantastic Mustard Seed Restaurant, yesterday. We got a great welcome from the brilliant staff, had an excellent and leisurely meal and were treated like royalty by our lovely, patient young waiter! We had a most memorable dining experience in this amazing place. Thanks to the cheerful, hard working staff.

Having not eaten at the Mustard Seed for a while, we decided to go there for Sunday lunch. The waiting staff were very welcoming and helpful. At one o'clock on the place was busy and, consequently, rather noisy. Ordering a traditional Sunday lunch of roast sirloin, we were disappointed that the two thick slices of beef (beef ought really to be thinly sliced) had a layer of hard gristle between the fat and the lean, and the lean was intersected by a band of tough connective tissue. It ought not to be necessary to take a serrated steak knife to roast beef, but it was. The well-seasoned fat was tasty, as was the medium rare lean, once you had separated it from what was inedible. The vegetables were passable; the tenderstem broccoli was anything but tender. The pudding, Eton Mess, was good. The manager invited and listened graciously to comments and adjusted the bill accordingly. Overall, today’s experience fell below our former good memories of the Mustard Seed.
