The Mustard Seed Restaurant

A really enjoyable dining experience. We have had lunch at The Mustard Seed on a number of previous occasions, but this was our first time having an evening meal, we had a great time! We'll be back!

Lovely food & great atmosphere, buzzing on a Tuesday night!

Had lunch The food was lovely Service was great Friendly staff

Lovely welcome, cosy, seasonal surroundings. Food was beautifully served and delicious. Staff very friendly. My only comment would be, I didn't like the Worcester/Tabasco sauce over the turkey. I’m not a fan of these so didn’t like that. It’s quite a strong flavour and not what I would have with a turkey Christmas dinner. Otherwise it was delicious. I then had sticky toffee pudding, and felt the sauce was very, very sweet today. I don’t like giving negative feedback but these are my honest thoughts about my meal today. I hope it is helpful.

First time visiting Inverness and this restaurant was a real find. Food and service were excellent.

Beautiful meal. Amazing service. Thanks again Mustard Seed for a lovely afternoon.

First time visiting, a lovely warm welcome, great service, friendly staff and cozy experience! Food was lovely will defo be back! Jim, Jackie, Steven & Mharie Keep up the good work!

A lovely tasty meal. Great service and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend early evening menu, great value for money.

Excellent as always, food great from the lunch time menu, superb value for money with friendly attentive service

Staff were all so nice and helpful and even left us undisturbed when we stayed most of the afternoon. Food was hot, well presented, tasty and all our chicken breasts were large so plenty in each portion.

Beautiful meal as always! Lovely and cosy atmosphere inside. Our waitress was so accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us.

Best meal we had while in Inverness! Wonderful service as well.

Booked a table for 17.15. Ordered our drinks and meals. Waited 45 minutes for our started to come out while 5 tables after us arrived and received their meals before us. Eaten here many times without an issue but don’t expect to wait 45 minutes for a started

Excellent service, delicious food, great atmosphere. Will be back soon.

Salad on the starter didn't taste very fresh, steak was very tasty however the sauce was very strong. Service was good, atmosphere etc, haven't been for a while and didn't seem to be the standard it has been before! A bit disappointed.

The food was good and the service was good,very attentive staff!

We all had a great meal,and the staff were very friendly thank you

We hadn't been to the Mustard Seed for a while, but we had to be in Inverness on the morning of my wife's (Susy's) birthday so I booked a table. The welcome was warming the service excellent and and ended with a lovely touch of a sparkly candle in a scoop of ice cream to celebrate her birthday. Charles

Very very good - strongly recommend - need to book in advance

Given table as requested. Very frosty on day we visited but restuarant was adequately heated. Meal was well presented and good value for money. Staff polite and attentive.

As always excellent service,value for money with professional caring about your guests. Thank you.

Lekker eten, vriendelijke bediening en een prima ambiance in Inverness.

Lovely warm atmosphere. Went for Xmas lunch. 3 courses. All were lovely. Staff were great.

Went on a Tuesday evening, the restaurant was bustling but not completely full. Service was extremely quick, to the point of being peremptory and almost rude. We felt very rushed. The food was really good although we don’t understand why, if you wanted to order the fixed price for 3 courses Christmas menu, you could only do that if the whole table ordered from it. Again, we were told that in quite a dismissive way. In short, the food was great, and the premises are lovely, but the service wasn’t particularly nice, and the menu ordering rule was just odd.

Excellent dining experience. Service was spot on and the staff were attentive without being a distraction. Food was excellent and value for money.

The waiter was very knowledgeable and personable, and we warmed to him straight away. We only had mains, I had duck, which was lovely, but I did expect the skin to be crispy but it wasn’t. All the same it was good food. My friend had the Salmon, she doesn’t eat the skin, so would have liked more of the sauce, (as she removed the skin.) The posset was a bit of a let down not enough posset and the pastry was anaemic and not crispy enough, it was very underwhelming, (could lose the pastry and add a ginger crunch and it would have been stunning with more of the posset) My friend had the cheesecake which was absolutely lovely. So a mixed bag from us, but we would return. It’s a lovely place.

Fantastic ambience; super warm welcome; sensational food. Thanks for a wonderful experience!

Service was very slow. We felt we were crammed in a corridor area, with other people banging against our table. The food was not the usual standard

As always top class service and food., value for money.

The service and food was exceptional as it always is, we always make a point to visit when we travel to Scotland

Great food and fantastic service. Early bird menu is great value for money.

Ribeye steaks were perfect especially medium rare. We will be back

Cozy, warm and delightful as always Will be back soon

Great dinner and waitress, great time had will come again

Très bon restaurant! Excellent accueil! Nous ne sommes jamais déçus nous reviendrons avec plaisir👍

The staff was very friendly the food was great as well

Had the early evening meal. As always the food and service was excellent. Never had a bad experience at the Mustard Seed.

We had a lovely meal and great service, staff , ambience was perfect

Great restaurant, great food and great staff. Food is tasty and not overpriced, There’s a great atmosphere, huge Xmas tree and log burning stove! Perfect.

When we go out for a meal we joke by saying "this one counts" or "this one doesn't count". This one counts. The Greek lady there (manageress?) went above and beyond. Ευχαριστώ.

Good food, service and value for money. Staff were pleasant, helpful and ordered us a taxi. Would recommend.

Food was really good, the waitress serving us the majority of the time was great but the waitress who brought the starter, the waitress we asked about the desserts and the waiter we queried the liqueur coffee with….not so good! Made to feel like we were being stupid and after having visited the Mustard Seed for in excess of 20 years albeit not regularly, hasn’t left a very good feeling. The standard of food has always been fantastic but not so sure about the serving staff just now

Lovely view, great service, excellent food and they stuck a sparkler in some complimentary ice cream for my wife for her birthday 😊

My friend and I really enjoyed our lunch,once again a great experience. Food lovely and staff are great.

Once again, great dining experience with excellent service from the staff!

Catriona booked us in and nothing was too much trouble. Adam was overseeing our meal which was delicious. Angelina gave excellent service. Thank you to the team at The Mustard Seed for another amazing meal.

All staff & ambience 1st class. A little disappointed with food. Wife had fish pie which wasn't very hot and had very little fish. Roasted veg was not roasted 8 - 10.

Great food and service. Very popular restaurant so book ahead.

Staff, service and food 1st class. Early evening menu is very good value. Would recommend a visit. Greek lady (front of house) sorry, never got her name, was very welcoming and friendly. Will be back. Thanks 😊

Portions were smaller than expected, my main the seabass was disappointing due to it appearing to be “wet” as if cooked in water and not as flaky as it should be can’t explain any further and no jokes about it being from the sea 🤣. I go for seabass a lot in restaurants if it’s on the menu and was the worst I’ve tried. Dessert was amazing though and big portion (fudge cheesecake). Thankfully it was lunch menu of 2 courses for £17. Staff super nice and the atmosphere lovely. We’ve been here before and like it so returned and probably will again and try something different.
