The Mustard Seed Restaurant

The food was to a very high standard as always. However, we had booked a table for 1700 thinking this was ample time for a meal before heading to the theatre at 1915. A short time after ordering our desserts, a very large group of US tourists arrived and from this time the service level dipped considerably. There were quite simply not enough staff to deal with a full restaurant. As a result there was a significant delay in our dessert being cleared and receiving our coffee. Our coffee was thereafter rushed and we made it to the theatre with two minutes to spare which was far from ideal. I think it is important to remember that large groups of tourists bring money however they generally only visit once. Do not neglect your local customers who have a number of other options to choose from.

Great restaurant with excellent food and staff. This was a return visit and we will be back again. Early evening menu terrific value.

Donna was great! All food delicious and so fresh! Thanks for the hospitality!

Great expérience. The service was perfect and the food was tasty.

Very disappointed in our time here. The service was the worst I’ve experienced in years. No smiles and rude/stressed service.

Recommended items were good; service was rushed, felt pushed out.

Food was good. Service was pushy, obviously trying to turn tables. It ruins the experience.

The food was excellent, the staff were attentive, the table was small.

We were warmly welcomed. I can only comment on my food and not the group's meals. The Mackerel and Salmon pate starter was delicious as was the main dish of Sea Bass. Daniel, our server was lovely, really pleasant and efficient. Nice to have proper linen napkins too.

Excellent friendly service with top notch food at a great price.

DELICIOUS lunch! Only wish the portions were a bit bigger; when ordering scallops I thought I'd get more than just 3 scallops...but incredibly tasty and a decent price.

Great welcome by maitre de followed by an amazing meal!

Good service excellent meal the employees were friendly and professional

Very good food. Nice ambiance with courteous and efficient waiting staff

Wonderful dinner, the food was amazing and a very nice restaurant!

The mustard has fantastic staff, a wonderful atmosphere and the food was beautifully presented and delicious. In my opinion the best values for money restaurant I’ve been too especially the lunchtime menu

Dinner was lovely . Best mussels we've ever had . Drinks were amazing 👏

Great food and service. Always come here when in Inverness and never been disappointed.

Nice staff, pleasant atmosphere, food not that impressive. Expected better.

Fantastic meal as always. Have been going to this restaurant for years. The value for money lunch is superb. The staff are so nice and friendly. The views over the river are beautiful.

What a wonderful restaurant! If you are ever in Inverness, you must make a reservation at The Mustard Seed. Truly special.

Always great food in the Mustard Seed. Don't think I've ever had a bad meal there, and the service is always excellent.

The manager, the staff who served me were all very friendly and inviting! The owner came up to me and had a very nice conversation. I appreciate that because I am a solo traveller and I wanted to speak to at least someone! So thank you. And thank you to the kitchen staff for preparing the food so no nicely and quickly. I will recommend this place on my social media account. P.s. I’m a content creator.

A bit underwhelming sadly, the food was good but not great. Also even though we had a reservation we waited 15 minutes to be seated. The good points were the staff, who were nice and the ambiance with the views of the river.

Food tastefull, atmosphère party. Good wine. I recommand this place

Our favorite meal during our 8 day visit to Scotland. Great atmosphere, incredible food, and lovely wine. A must visit while in Inverness.

Excellent service and delicious food! The scallop special was superb.

We were a bit disappointed. The food was adequate, the place was really noisy. However the service was good even though the servers were extremely busy that Sunday night.

I like dining here. The staff are very efficient and food very good.

Wonderful in every way. Have already booked again…can’t wait to come back

Attentive friendly service, good menu choice and lovely food that's different from other restaurants. Enjoyed our lunch very much

Food was OK and thats about all we can say. Had much better meals at The Mustard Seed in the past.

Loved the beautiful restaurant and the delicious food. Strongly recommended to visiting tourists

Lovely meal with plenty options. Bit on the pricey side but nice for a special occasion. Lovely staff.

Quick visit after a long drive, superb food. Being a Saturday, it was very busy and very noisy, but it didn't spoil the experience.

Server worked hard and was friendly. Salmon ok. Duck good. Venison good. Rib eye ok. Notice no amazing?

Heard so many about this restaurant and we certainly weren't disappointed the staff were friendly and helpful nice table set up upstairs service was excellent and the food was excellent and reasonable priced, will definitely be back

The food was excellent and the staff friendly and attentive

One always has a lovely meal here. My husband had the hake which he said was nice but wished he ordered the Sea Bass once he tasted mine.

Could not fault restaurant. Service was amazing, food was quick and very tasty. We sat outside on balcony so had great views of river

Helpful and friendly staff Excellent service Food was very good and excellent value Overall, a very food experience Will certainly recommend The Mustard Seed

We returned having had a wonderful meal there the last time. The 28 day matured rib eye I had was pale and tasteless . In fact I honestly thought there had been a mistake and I was served pork. I mentioned it to the waiter who more or less brushed me off. The starters were very good as was the lemon sole my wife had. I felt very disappointed.

Staff always go the extra mile. Courteous and willing. Service always good, food excellent, always good choices and value for money.

Amazing venue, amazing staff, amazing food, amazing dining experience. 👍🏻👍🏻

Great location, excellent atmosphere, good service and first class food. All in all a very good evening out.

Food was lovely, although one dish got sent back as mash cold. Staff rectified very quickly.

We were a party of 3, two meals were very good, unfortunately the third was not so great. The pork was incredibly tough and difficult to eat.

The staff were amazing considering they were clearly very busy and a bit rushed off their feet, but their service was outstanding regardless. 10/10

Dry pork loin and the rump was tough. Not our favorite place, but the gin and tonic was great!

Our second visit to this busy restaurant We shared the platter to begin with The pate was lovely but the chicken tenders were dry as were the roll mops We had the cod from the specials which was ok but the rice was tasteless The other main was the stuffed chicken breast which was flavoursome but dry However the accompanying veg were nicely cooked I’d suggest heating the plates as the food went cold fast Our cocktails were delicious and the service was charming
