    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.

    Noisy, even upstairs. The Blood sausage appetizer was excellent! The char siu not even close. Take it off the menu and consult a Korean in HI. Veggies drinks and wine perfect.

    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.

    One disappointing starte(brioche was tasteless). One disappointing main course. (Steak was 60/40 gristle to meat, chips were hard and full of oil, vegetables cold).

    An sich sind wir bei Lokalempfehlungen aus einem Reiseführer immer ein wenig skeptisch, in diesem Fall war die aber absolut nicht angebracht. Das Service ist freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Speisen von sehr guter Qualität und rechtfertigen die etwas höheren Preise. Es gibt auch zu einem günstigen Preis ein „early evening Menu“. Eine rechtzeitige Reservierung empfiehlt sich.

    What a lovely evening! We sat upstairs with views of the river to start. The whiskey sours were sublime and complimented the special appetizers- mussels and salmon three ways were both exquisite. Sole and Lamb for the main courses were also amazing! Loved it!

    My friend had rump steak and I had seabass. Perfectly cooked, both. For dessert we had Eton Mess. Friendly efficient service throughout and nice to sit upstairs and look out on the river. Not my first time there but will definitely be back with other guests! Martha Barnes

    We had a lovely meal, my only note would be even though we arrived for an early sitting 7:30 they had run out of a starter I wanted (the mussels) and 1 pudding was unavailable. Service excellent and the food we chose was delicious

    Great atmosphere and they dress it up nicely but the food itself is just ok and nothing special. Service was friendly but lacked what I would expected of one of Inverness’s better establishments.

    My soup and salad and hubby's cheese bread was delivered to a different table, so I had to wait while others in my party ate. My sister ordered the vegan gnocchi and the regular menu gnocchi came instead. Once we had all of our food the meal was delicious.

    Unfortunately ( I hate being that guy ) service was slow to start with, ordered drinks at the same time as food. Food was only ok, not like I remember. My steak was overcooked, mash bland and again overcooked. Waitress was nice but seemed unsure really. Nice atmosphere maybe just a bad day at the office as normally too notch ! 🙏🏼
