Beautiful food and great service. Only point to note is that my daughter ordered a dish with creamy curry sauce which turned out to be a lot spicier than we thought it would be, however, we love this restaurant ❤️

Waited 40 minutes for our starter, other tables who came in well after us got served far quicker, steak arrived had to send it back as undercooked, so disappointing

service great, had requested a window table upstairs, not available due to large bookings but we had a drink downstairs & then were shown to a table upstairs. The food was delicious, we had the surf & turf skewers & haddock fishcake for starters - both delicious, salad & dressings were beautiful, light & fresh. Followed by mains of tuna steak & caprese filo tart, again, both not heavy, very light and portion size just perfect. We finished off with desserts of cheesecake of the day and apple crumble - both amazing. Price was good for the level of cuisine, service was great, long enough between courses without being too long.

The service was wondering but sadly the meal wasn’t. We had steak that both of us sent back. We couldn’t cut it let alone chew it. It was very disappointing as we didn’t have time to go anywhere else before the theatre or order something different. We have been there before and the meal was very nice then. It was shame. It was a ver poor cut of rump.

Was there about 5 weeks ago and had a brilliant exxperience, this time notso good. Starters (Mussels) and Smoked Salmon exxcellent, probably the best mussels i have had in years as they were big plump and Juicy. Main course(Venison) and ( Chicken). The Venison was asked for Rare came out medium..... The waitress offered to change it, but as I hal already eaten a third of it I declined. The Chicken was just OK and not very well presented.....Veg selection poor. Poor selection of desserts.... the Apple crumble was a disgrace... very little apple and overcooked crumble..... cheese selection was straight out of fridge.... no time to breathe..... The waitress was exceptional as was the Hostess who greeted us on arrival. Hopefully we just caught the Kitchen on an off night. Will be back.......

Not terrible but a definite decline in quality; bread selection cut back- and service rushed. I hope it goes back to how it was 2-3 years ago.

The pineapple and cucumber salad had a lot of dressing, it would have been better with about one quarter, just drizzled on. I was seated next to two tables of 12. Noisy.

Arrived at our booked time of 1930 and ordered our food and drinks shortly afterwards. Our food arrived just before 2030. Pennies short of £30 for the steak I ordered to be cooked 'medium rare, more medium than rare'. The steak was more than 1/3 gristle and fat and was cooked more rare to blue. I told the waitress about this when she asked how our meal had been. When paying our bill (over £120), a different waitress again asked us how our meal had been, and I repeated what I had told the previous waitress. At this point we were told that our serving waitress should have fed my comments back to the kitchen and the manager. However, it didn't appear that had happened. We've frequented The Mustard Seed every single time we have been in Inverness, however we won't be from now on, and I won't be recommending either.

Everthing came late and had to remind our server for sparkling water, bread and one of our drinks (45 minutes after ordered). Service was extremely rushed, order everything at one time - no problem, however we waited over an hour for our food. Rib eye was ordered medium rare and served raw. Venison was ordered medium rare and came cooked much more. We brought to managers attention who had new orders done. Venison was now rare to raw and the tri-tip came a bit more cooked, however was still raw in the middle. I hope they can fix their issues, as they are many from both the front and back of house.

Superb birthday lunch - amazing food & impeccable service (by Donna). Had the 2 course lunch special (ricotta mouse entree, sea bass main - melt in your mouth!) & desert (lemon lime cheesecake - to die for). 10/10 for each course.

Had a very pleasant time at The Mustard Seed. Food did not disappoint. A loud group of people sittign next to us did make the experience a tad bit less enjoyable, but not sure anyone in the restaurant could help with that, as we were isolated already to the side of the entrance hall. Had a minor mistake in my drink order but nothing major. Would definitely come back and recommend it to friends.
