The Kitchen Restaurant

Our server Dylan was fabulous. Great awareness of our needs. Accommodated our request to sit outside with no issues at all. Advised of changes to the menu. Excellent service for someone new to the position.

Great view, great service and great food. Will come back.

Excellent service, the food was amazing and the views over the river very special. We have immediately booked again.

Lovely restaurant and setting. The food was absolutely incredible! Would highly recommend. Our two children were also well catered for with lovely food options for them too. We will be recommending to friends and family. We will be back.

Disappointed with food and the choice on menu Very expensive for what you get. Been a regular visitor to this restaurant First time ever felt compelled to write review

I loved my food tonight. I ordered the halibut in miso sauce and some sort of salmon salad w grapefruit. Delicious.

The food is excellent but the service for follow up drinks was not good and we felt very cramped in the space. The tables were very close and near the stairs and service station. Not impressed.

The food was delicious, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the view was amazing 🤗🤗

Outstanding meal and service. Highly recommend this restaurant - thanks to the Kitchen Restaurant!

Booked dinner for 4 prior to concert. Time constraint meant we could only have one course. That was so delicious we wished we had booked in earlier to take full advantage. Will come another time when timing not an issue.

We had a gorgeous meal, the service was excellent, food amazing, lovely friendly helpful staff, nothing is too much bother. The view over the river you cannot get better. We will be back soon.

Well presented dishes, beautifully executed. Was delighted to find venison on the menu.

Pork belly starter was a real standout. My miso halibut was fantastic but hard to eat. (Very large sized cuts of veggies in a soup format) Service was phenomenal. Would absolutely recommend for a unique meal in Inverness.

Outstanding food. I know this chef will get many awards. If you like good food and are in Inverness, make a reservation. You will not be disappointed.

Dinner was delicious. Service was ok. Overall, good restaurant to dine along the River side.

Great atmospheric, fantastic and attentive staff. With outstanding food 😁😁😁

Lekker , goede bediening , heilbot met miso super, zal hier zeker terugkomen

Lovely meal and great service would definitely come back again

Sehr gute Küche, Menukarte klein, vielleicht nicht für jeden Geschmack. Für uns super. Ein paar Getränke waren nicht erhältlich.

Great, friendly front of house staff. Limited menu choices for starter and main courses. 2 fish options, 2 vegetarian options or venison only!! I would like to see a wider variety of options on the menu before we return. Beautiful setting.

Excellent experience. Service superb, food delicious. Lovely evening enjoyed by us all.

First visit since lockdown. Staff were all friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. Food was excellent. Highly recommended.

recommended by our taxi driver and good advice, great meal

Thoughtful, delicious food in a comfortable and friendly environment. Truly a gem!

I asked this group of 6 if they enjoyed their meal and their response was muted. They said it was okay but the menu was very limited and the food they chose was just 'okay'. This response is very similar to that of a group that visited with myself two weeks ago 5 persons without reservation. We all had the Mushroom and gnocchi broth as a main course and I was extremely disappointed with that as a main course. If anything it was nothing more than a very watery soup / starter with only four little pieces of gnocchi and some little mushrooms. The only saving grace was the position of the tables and the view from restaurant. So altogether a very poor experience and I will not be recommending the Kitchen to further customers.

Gorgeous setting by the river. Excellent food although the portions of venison were smaller than expected.

Great food, very good service! Nice wine selection and spirits

Great food and service with amazing view of Inverness and the ness

The menu was original and well executed. Service was great, but to be told as you’re being seated at 7.30 that you have the table for 2 hours, seems unwelcoming, and as it turns out, completely unnecessary since they were clearing up as we left just after 9.30

Plats excellents. Service ordinaire. Table non débarrassée. Aucune ambiance. Très bonne nourriture mais on repassera pour l’expérience :-(

What a great restaurant. Friendly staff, great location, great food and cocktails. Would definitely recommend.

We were on floor 2, by the open window with a table of Americans beside us. Not quiet... The food was very good. The only suggestion I could make was that the sauce with linguine and hot smoked salmon could have had some double cream (or similar) added as it was a tad dry. I would love to come again if/when back in Inverness.

Excellent staff, and good food made with verfresh and healthy ingredients.

Amazing food, what a great night. A must if you are visiting Inverness.

Good ambience,food and service throughout would definitely recommend and revisit

food is good and service is excellence. we enjoy the dinner.

The food and service were both exceptional. A wonderful birthday treat

Overrated & dissapointed. 40mins just waiting for food. Then the food was not… well cooked? Slow cooked Lamb… They say… But chewy & tasteless? At least for me… Not a good experience… :(. It took me time to decide about what to order because nothing in the menu seemed to be tempting enough. I was about leaving… I expected much more from this place (about food). Good things: Service was very kind. And the environment, the views,… Very nice place at least.

Zeer lekker gegeten. Vriendelijke bediening. Prijs/kwaliteit was top ! Complimenten voor de chef

It was Top 🔝FOOD and just incredibly delicious 😋 CHEERS 🥃

Great experience and the venison was excellent! Will definitely recommend!

The staff was friendly and great views of the river Ness.

Lovely window table with view over River Ness. Both had great meal, could not fault it and staff really attentive.

Have been here on numerous occasions over the years. This was by far the poorest food and service we have received in this retaurant. Pollock gougons were dark coloured and obviously overcooked. The salmon linguini was dry. Service was slow. Don't think we will be back for a while.

There were some issues although overall I do not think they would stop me visiting again as I suspect they both may have been due to a degree of understaffing or inexperienced staff. Two biggest issues were with the wait time for main course (around an hour from the starter) and that one of the main dishes was just not quite right (monkfish was slightly overcooked, poached egg was way overcooked with a solid yolk, and clam risotto has no evidence of clams and was slightly undercooked with a chalkiness to the rice with none of usual unctuousness/creaminess you would expect from risotto. (I would have complined on night but had already waited so long and had theatre performance to get to so did not). The gentleman who appeared to be the manager on the day of our visit seemed to have a good handle on things but our young waiter appeared very hurried and did not take the time to acknowledge/ apolgise or explain our very long wait for main courses which always helps. One main dish was from the a la carte menu while my two dinner companions had chosen from the early evening menu. It may have been that choosing from the a la carte was always going to result in a longer wait for its arrival but if so we should have been alerted and may have chosed differently. There were no issues with the one starter, two main courses and two desserts from the eary evening menu. The cocktails and wine were also very good.

Staff were pleasant and attentive, food was excellent on taste and presentation surroundings are. Also very pleasant

We had a lovely family meal, food was delicious too.

Usual very high standard. Thank you. We will visit again.

Great Food, Great Location, Great atmosphere, Best in Inverness centre

Our lunch was delicious and great value for money. We were served by very attentive staff and the view over the River Ness was a bonus.
