The food was excellent - both venison and trout cooked perfectly. The squid ink risotto with the trout was excellent! Our servers were attentive and very friendly and warm. Lovely view of the river Ness and town. Just a great experience. Highly recommend!

Food is artistically plated and unusual in concept. Servers are friendly and responsive. Can be tricky to find a meal if you are a vegetarian or have a food allergy but they’ll try to help navigate that.

We were given a table downstairs after asking for a table upstairs. People after us were given a table upstairs. We were the only people downstairs. Not happy.

We had a nice lunch at the Kitchen Restaurant. The food was great and the service was well done. The small building is very well designed to maximize the views and make you feel as though you are eating on a balcony overlooking the River Ness.

The service was friendly though sometimes slow. The food was very well presented but with faults. I had the belly pork starter which tasted great but was overcooked and stringy. The chicken main was roast breast with confit leg buttery mash and a butter chicken sauce. One piece of breast was perfectly cooked while the other was over and the confit leg was extremely dry. The sauce i could drink by the pint. Again it was very well presented. The cheese board was nice though the brie was under ripe. 6 out of 10.

Good seats with a good view. Food was good. The only down side was it took a long time between starter and main course which has never happened in here before.

Food was good and service was good, just had to wait until our reservation time (we were 30 minutes early) and there was a bit of a lag between appetizers and entrees so the whole visit was about 3 hours

The food and the service were both perfect. The only issue we had was the set menu was advertised as £35 for two courses on the door outside, however when we got the menu to order our food, the cost was £40 for two courses.

It's just amazing place! The service is extraordinary, the food is delicious and they understand needs of little kids ridiculous orders :) (e.g. plain pasta with cheese 🫣) . Everything comes beautifully served. Honestly, I could not recommend more. It is your must to have lunch Dinner any food place:) AMAZING!

Food was amazing, nice wee breaks inbetween. Staff very informative and friendly. Highly recommend. Only thing I’d say was I’m in a wheelchair and were on bottom floor next door and it kept opening up in its own making it cold, so I’d ask for a table further away next time.

Lovely meal, we chose the three course option and were not disappointed. The service was very good with pleasant chatty staff. The background music was subtle and the upstairs seating area had a good vibe. We will definitely be back.

We arrived @ 6:00 pm. Instead of a starter, we went straight to the mains. We then had to wait for 40 minutes before receiving our meal. People who came in after us received their starter straight away. I brought this to the attention to the staff who were very helpful and apologised. They said all comments are noted and shared with the kitchen and management. Sadly, on my last visit, the same thing happened. I commented then, and obviously, the concern was not taken on board. The kitchen set up is poor.
