The food was amazing. One of the best meals I have had in a long time. The service was good, but I felt like the wait staff was understaffed. They were frazzled at times between taking care of the customer coming in and those already seated. Overall, a good dining experience.

Best food I’ve had in a long time and when travelling to Inverness we were delayed and they changed our time so we could come later. Fantastic. Will be back.

Restaurant trouvé sur les réseaux sociaux, un cadre agréable et une très belle vue sur la Ness, un service de qualité et des plats de très haut niveau, raffinés et dignes de très grandes tables !! Dommage que nous habitions si loin (Nice en France) car j’y serai certainement revenu 😊

Very expensive dinner, not matched with the quantity of the food: my belly’s full not for the venison (of which they gave me two micro slices…) but only for the mashed potatoes! 100 £ in two really seems too much for this place. The food is good though, but I would have valued it at least 20£ less.

Loved the restaurant! The food was amazing and the views could not have been better, and we are already trying to plan our return to Inverness so that we can experience The Kitchen again. Your staff, by the way, is impeccable and without peer. If only I could lure them away to The Four Seasons here in New Orleans! Whatever their compensation it is not enough! Simply a wonderful experience and we are so fortunate to have booked. Thank you again.

From our charming greeting by Damon at reception, to meeting with Lucy with her advice re the menu at our table, to the food itself it was a wonderful experience. Staff were really friendly and knowledgable and made us feel very welcome. If we’re ever back in Inverness, we will definitely be back in The Kitchen! The venue came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. Thank you.

Only disappointment was that there was no chicken available that day on lunch menu which would have been first choice. Beef cheeks were very good though.

Great food, good service (albeit better options at this price point locally). The restaurant offered a better experience prior to the forced two course model that has been introduced. An a la carte option would feel more relaxed / inviting (rather than the first impression being instructed that you have to have two courses). Restating it just brings the lack of flexibility immediately to your attention. Food is good though. Venison was excellent. Fondant potatoes were okay (not really fondant potatoes, but were tasty nonetheless).

The perfect place for fine dining with a view! Super friendly and welcoming staff, the food was absolutely delicious and very high end. You could taste every ingredient and the flavours were just divine. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very calm and you have direct views to the river, bridge and castle, perfect for sundowner drinks. I would definitely come again when in the area!

Food was good and our waitress lovely. However there was an inflexibility about the rules which was not customer focused. No small Prosecco ( the only sparkling wine choice) but no possibility of a glass! No sparkling water although it was offered. No tablet with coffee. No possibility of moving to an unoccupied table for four at the window. This was later occupied by two people. All this did not reflect the price of £40 per head for two early evening corses.. All this explained the empty tables.?

Portions were tasty but very small. A single piece of bread with soup is 1 course of a 40 pound, 2 course meal? My halibut was also delicious, as were the accompanying offerings, but also very small. Service was slow. Better value elsewhere.

The food was excellent but could have been served hotter. The plates were nice and hot but the soups and braised cheeks could have been hotter. Again the wine was excellent but could have been much more chilled. If that was sorted it would have been top marks all across the board. Just to add the young lady who waited on us was lovely.

Gute Küche und guter Service, aber man fühlt sich etwas gestresst im zugeteilten Zeitfenster von 1 1/2 Stunden. Ist zu sehr auf Umsatz ausgerichtet. Zudem wurde unser Wunsch nach einem Tisch im oberen Stockwerk ohne Begründung sec abgelehnt

Excellent service and enjoyable meal. Only missed out on "excellent" score as there seemed to be a lack of any flexibility to provide a salad for one of my guests. It did not spoil a delicious meal though.
