    The food was good but I wouldn't say there was anything spectacular that stood out. My husband and I both ordered from the early dinner menu which was limited. Service was attentive as it was very busy.

    Perfect visit as always at the mustard seed from being greeted at the door to the moment we left. Staff were lovely and welcoming, food was amazing and served so efficiently and the whole experience was excellent. The mustard seed just continues to get it right and we are so lucky.

    Was a special occasion and we booked 3 months in advance for a Tuesday evening 19.45 sit down. Lovely quirky place and staff friendly and helpful. However we were not given a window seat as requested even though 2 were available when we arrived, so disappointed in that. The biggest disappointment was the sirloin steak we ordered at £32 each from the specials board. We both requested they were cooked medium-well but instead they arrived really well done and as tough and tough and gristly as old boots. A big let down, so sorry we won’t be recommending the Mustard Seed!

    It was just ok. The fish dish I had was pretty bland but I asked for a wedge of lemon and that “woke up” the tastes. For the price, I expected better.

    Eton mess a little disappointing. Should be real cream (not from a can) and more fruit - a bit overwhelmed by the cream. Rest of food was excellent as usual. Used to be a little more relaxed atmosphere in the past - seems more rushed and business like, as if they’re wanting to cram more covers in. Hope it doesn’t backfire on their popularity.

    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.
