The Mustard Seed Restaurant

We’ve been lunching at The Mustard Seed over a number of years and the high standard of the dishes has remained the same.

Excellent starter but bland and tasteless risotto- very disappointing. Coffee served cold but replaced when requested. Not nearly as good as I remembered.

Lovely food, great service and great value as always - recommend .

Excellent knowledgeable attentive waitress. Food came very quickly and was of course delicious

We had 2 recommendations to go to this restaurant and the service was good, the foid delicioys, i had syeak that was cooked rare as requested it cut really well and melted in my mouth. Big thumbs up.

Great food and service as always. A favourite place to dine

Another thoroughly enjoyable dining experience at this wonderful restaurant, perfect!

Great staff. Great food also served up. Shall be back again.

The Team at the restaurant were very friendly and patient. The service was prompt and the food was delicious. A really nice lunchtime visit.

Delicious meal, great wine and lovely atmosphere. Great value too

Menu much reduced and less well executed than in previous years. Still a very pleasant place for a meal.

Lovely food and staff. Can’t wait to come back again.

Food was good and servers friendly. Disappointed mistake made on bill as we were charged double for desserts but was quickly rectified

Fantastic food, attentive staff, Great Ambience! Our top place to eat in Inverness.

The lovely restaurant was looking very xmassy! It was cosy and food was delicious.

Great food and wonderful atmosphere! Staff very attentive and knowledgeable.

Food was cold returned food, they made anew order, then waited nearly an hour for desert after asking waiter a couple of times, waiter saying he be in a couple of minutes then gave up

Excellent venue and first class service throughout. Steak and Sea Bass were both well cooked and presented. Only Gripe is that the soup could have been hotter. A pleasurable experience

Excellent meal and service from start to finish, ,always great 👌

One small issue. The glasses and cutlery were very poorly presented. The glasses in particular were covered in fingerprints and did not look clean at all. I observed another table asking for clean also. Most unlike the Mustard Seed, potentially an issue with the dishwasher? Certainly not the attention to detail I'd expect as a customer of the restaurant.

The food was mostly nice, but the service really let the experience down. Our waiter disappeared, leaving us with a dirty table. We waited to order desserts, but no one came, so we decided to leave.

Fantastic meal in Mustard Seed - food excellent and very friendly and attentive service.

Lovely meal but waited over 45 mins for my main course which the kitchen said they over looked our order.

Absolutely delighted food in a glorious setting with a roaring log fire! Fantastic service and knowledgeable staff! Brilliant all round! Loved every moment of it!

What an amazing restaurant Myself and my two friends had lunch here and couldn’t fault it

Delicious food & friendly service in a great location 😀

Lovely lunch visit - food really nice Thank you, I will definitely back 😋

Dreadful service and rubbish food. When we arrived we informed the manager/maitre’d we had a table booked he just pointed at a table and said that was ours - no attempt made to show us to a table and make us feel welcome. The waitress came and took our order for our meal and drinks at the same time - all a bit rushed and pressured . Then our starter appeared within 5 minutes well before our drinks made it to the table. Our main course appeared very quickly after the starter and was well not good. We both had a rather rubbery gristly steak served on a bed of lukewarm lumpy mashed potato reminiscent of school dinners. Not good enough for nearly £32 a portion, I’ve bought better steaks from Lidl! We then had a rather weak coffee. Overall in and out the restaurant having had two courses and a coffee in under an hour at around £107. Previously had wonderful meals here but the service, ambiance and food are not up to scratch for restaurant of this calibre. We will not be back in a hurry.

Fabulous welcome. Attentive and knowledgeable team who were lovely. Food was excellent and value for money. Great atmosphere. Can see why it remains a place to be

Amazing experience! Top class food and staff were very exceptional

Great meal with quality food as ever and good atmosphere.

Always perfect Fantastic service Wonder full food Lovely restraunt Will recommend

It was fabulous. Great food and good value for 2 course lunch. Staff were really friendly.

Food was ok, but we’d finished our starter before the drinks even arrived. We’ve had better meals there, I think last night was just an off- night for them.

Tasty Early Evening Meal at the Mustard Seed. We had the chicken wings and the Seaweed crab cake for starters then the chicken for mains, followed by a strawberry and passion fruit cheesecake, a really good meal with excellent service.

Food average service rushed have been to mustard seed 5 times over last few years they have really gone down hill won’t be back

Friendly, buzzy venue with a warm welcome and setting, matched with local sourced good food, beautifully cooked

Lovely atmosphere and staff were warm and friendly. Food was good starters were mussels very good mackrel salad ok, a lot of bones and not much flavour. Mains..steak special lovely but garlic crushed potatoes very over powering garlic taste. Halibut very nice but green beans very over cooked and leathery. Puddings nice but not the wow factor. Presentation could be better. Overall a nice meal but wouldn't rush back.

Great lunch! Friendly staff and perfect timing with food! Thank you

Superb lunch as always, lovely friendly efficient staff .. .

Lovely meal, lovely service. Food could be a hotter though!

Good food, great service, nice atmosphere & surrounding. Would recommend

Weloming as always. Staff and food great. Sofia a hoot.

We always enjoy a visit to this restaurant. Staff were very attentive and the food was lovely!

Lovely food, great service and nice ambiance, all at a reasonable price.

Brilliant food and although we had quite a wait staff were excellent.

Great atmosphere, excellent staff, food and all in all a great experience.

Lovely warm restaurant, warm welcome from staff. Excellent menu, fabulous choices. Staff very attentive. Highly recommend.

My husband and I were left disappointed. We booked a table on my birthday. Indeed in the past we were always satisfied with the environment, food and service. The food was again prepared at an excellent standard. Following the main course, we ordered the cheese board. After 25 minutes we asked the waitress what is happening. It became clear that it was not prepared and we cancelled it. However, another staff member brought up a plate with cheese and crackers stating that they run out of celery and grapes! Of course, we turned down the order. Regarding the service and in contrast to the past, the bottle of wine we ordered arrived uncorked and I asked to check the bottle. Small etiquette matters, such as the insistence to be called guys considering our senior age, question if we want more drinks with the bottle still half full did not help to alleviate our experience. We left the restaurant wondering if the standard of quality we were accustomed to has changed or perhaps it was a bad day in the office!

Booked online and requested river view table on the upper level. Fantastic welcome to the restaraunt and taken straight to our table. Restaraunt looked fully booked . Service was timely and excellent Meals and drinks for the four of us was spot on and very enjoyable. A great experience and would recommend
