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.

Everything was fantastic. Incredible food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. We had a table on the second floor and loved the views. Definitely would return here the next time we come to Inverness.

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.

Server was young and less than enthused. Meal took 40 mins to arrive which is highly unusual for Mustard Seed in our experience and we ended up having to rush. People ordering after us seemed to be getting served. Not sure what issue was as server never engaged.

Really enjoyed our meal. Glad we had a reservation as many walk-ins were turned away. Portions sizes were good. Pace of meal was a bit fast but we know it is the weekend and you were very busy. We certainly didn’t feel rushed, but we also felt we couldn’t linger at all.

We travelled up from Ellon to have lunch on my birthday with my son and daughter in law. We had been at Mustard Seed previously and it was fantastic. However, on this occasion we were disappointed. My son and I had roast beef but unfortunately beef was so tough that we could hardly cut it with a sharp steak knife. The manager made an adjustment on the bill but I would much rather have had a meal that was up to their previous standards.

The mussels were not as clean as they should have been, the Venison and Duck were a touch over cooked and the Pomme Puree was not as advertised it was Mashed Potatoes. Flavours excellent, execution a little wayward.
