A last minute booking - what a delight. My first time there - the three staff serving were all a delight - chatty and friendly. Going above and beyond with a table of youngsters with their parents - bring them paper and crayons. The food - excellent. Not only really beautiful to look at (very Instagramable!) but tasted amazing. The bread and whipped butter was so moreish - and we had to ask how it was made. A can see why my wife been a couple of times with friends loves it so much. Will definitely be back again!

Couldn’t have had a better experience. I came to Inverness with a tour and chose the kitchen for my meal. Coming from miles to have a special meal in Inverness and was not disappointed. I haven’t one thing to fault and nothing could have been better. The food is 10/10 as is the service. I asked for a table with a view and was given just that. I was looked after, as I was on my own, and now have wonderful memories of my time here. The staff could not have done more. I couldn’t believe the price for the standard of food.

Kids menu very limited, 2 courses on main menu not available and we had to wait a long time between courses. Starters were delicious, mains were ok. Staff were absolutely lovely and very attentive.

Our first time dining at The Kitchen. The welcome and service was excellent. Our server explained the menu to us displaying very good knowledge of the dishes. The food was incredible and we will certainly return. Only downside perhaps was our table was on top floor and there is no lift. Will know in future to ask for a table on ground or first floor.

The only thing was it was quite cold for my 90 year old father. The waiter did his absolute best by bringing a heater for us but there was a draught coming from an outside service door. Food and service were great.

Absolutely gorgeous food! Unusual but very tasty starters. Venison was to die for and cooked just right. Deserts were great! White Russian cocktails went down a treat, soooooo morish! And it was all topped off and made special with great service and attention. Thank you!

Food overpriced. Service slow for pre-theatre. And I should have been told at time of booking that you were requiring us to have a minimum of two courses. Pre-theatre one course is sufficient.

Top quality, food was amazing, friendly service. Didn't think they could top my pork belly starter but the venison main ended up my highlight, cooked to perfection and good portion size. My wife loved hers too (smoked salmon starter and halibut main)

Great view across the river from table . Service friendly, helpful, and efficient . . Food portions adequate and well presented - meat eaters thoroughly enjoyed food . Beetroot vegetarian main course - insubstantial and disappointing . Overall an enjoyable experience.

Told on arrival that we HAVE TO have a minimum of 2 courses from their set lunch menu at £22.50 a head - certainly wasn’t aware from their website that this would be ‘mandatory’ & not so keen on the tone it immediately set in terms of customer choice. Most places will accommodate single courses if that was all the customer wanted. Some people, for example more elderly customers, are not necessarily able to eat multiple courses. However, on this occasion, this wouldn’t have been a problem in itself. Then we’re told 2 out of the 5 main courses incur a further £5 supplement (so it’s actually £27.50 a head), & one of the remaining 3 non-supplement options is not even available (blade of beef replaced by chicken, a much cheaper option). So the upshot is a diminishing range of options for an increasing that we ultimately felt rather restricted & misled. The food itself was fine, though the mains portions felt a little stingy - a few more veg wouldn’t go amiss.

This is a very good looking restaurant, staff are friendly and attentive, but , and I say this reluctantly, the quantity of good food let's the restaurant down. The food is good quality, very tasty and well presented but omg it leaves me hungry after £45 for 3 courses. I'm used to 6 by Nico so know quantity is not a good measure, but I feel that because these were small servings I cannot go back. Apologies Mr Kitchen but To he Mustard Seed win's again.

Good modern food. The halibut and panna cotta were excellent. However we had to order some bread to mop up the delicious broth with the halibut as there was nothing else to absorb it.
