Great service, easy to book. Fantastic food,and atmosphere. Couldn't ask for any better
The food was fantastic -- overall traditional, but with little flairs like the caprese-salad-on-puff-pastry. In general everything was well made and carefully thought through. The worst I can say is that they were out of the panna cotta when we were there :-)
The staff is great and food was very good. It’s a busy place!
Pre booked so no waiting, service was prompt and attentive and food was very tasty and well cooked and presented as it always has been when we’ve been there over the last 25+ years.
Beautiful food as always, lovely atmosphere and service top noch.
Monkfish dish very dry and disappointing . Other food excellent, as was service and ambiance.
The food and the service were absolutely wonderful. We booked this months ago and so happy we did. Thank you so much for a fantastic dining experience.
The food was excellent and only upstaged by the service. The servers were courteous, efficient and made sure we wanted for nothing. This is our second visit and we will be back again whenever n Inverness.
Noisy restaurant with a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. We walked out after a quick drink.
1st time visit our 10th Anniversary today 08.09.23 we had a fabulous meal every course was spot on looked after by the lovely Brian. 100% recommend
Delicious food, great atmosphere! Staff was great and very helpful
The restaurant was very crowded, loud and warm inside. The staff was professional and friendly. The brie starter salad was excellent as was the sea bass. The chicken and salmon entrees seemed dry. The accompanying vegetables to all four of our entrees were undercooked and not hot.
Wasn’t the best food I had ever had. Very disappointing
Nice food, very busy so the staff was overwhelmed. It was a pleasant experience.
Enjoyed lunch on our final day in Inverness. Couldn’t have chose a better venue with a beautiful view of the river Ness. The food was amazing as was the vino. Superb and attentive service from the staff. They were amazing. Great value. Highly recommended
Typical high-volume, good restaurant. The food was excellent. Service, OK. We had to ask for water. And a refill, which never came. Very noisy.
Great food and warm welcome Restaurant has character and food is an authentic local Scottish experience A real treat
Very good food served promptly, great atmosphere, back again asap
We had an early dinner booking due to booking at the last minute. The food and service were exceptional. Would definitely recommend.
Today Mustard Seed you fell well short of a grading, this originates back to the chef not checking the quality of food being served. Booked in for a special lunch have travelled over from Skye. The chicken main course was inedible, impossible to cut and wholly indigestible resulting in us having to part leave our main Course. The waiter could only apologise. I suspect others having the same would have encountered the same quality of food. Unfortunately Mustard Seed due the quality of food today your restaurant is not an eatery we could recommend to others.
The staff was kind and fun and the food was excellent. Good price point on wine. Great spot.
Fab food, great service and friendly staff. Well done Donna!
Lovely food and great service what's not to like. Excellent.
The staff was very friendly, but the food took quite a while to receive. We did have to wait about 10-15 minutes for our table with a reservation. Not a huge deal.
We visited for lunch and chose the steak option. On the upside the hot smoked salmon caesar salad was great as was the cinnamon apple crumble. Now to the mains; one was very good whilst the other was pretty awful. The steak knife didn't even cut through around half of the stake which was very disappointing. We were seriously overcharged (over £30 which we noticed having paid the bill and adding on the percentage tip, The overcharge was rectified but the tip proportion was not refunded nor was that offered. A disappointing visit this time. Previous visits have been good.
Great food and service! If you’re going to have haggis for a first time- this is a place to experience this taste😜
Delicious food and very good service. Loved the gin selections
Food was delicious, service was very good indeed - lovely, attentive waiting staff.
Wonderful menu, wonderful service. Our favorite meal while in Scotland!
Our dining experience at Mustard Seed was memorable. The food and service were outstanding. The monk fish and prawns fricassee was the meal highlight. Highly recommend.
Fab visit and perfect food. Couldn’t have had a better visit!!!
For the first time I found the menu did not ‘float my boat’. I usually find it hard to decide from the choice but on this occasion there wasn’t anything that really made it hard to choose. Otherwise great service from all staff members.
Delicious food lovely river view good service beautiful decor. Very enjoyable evening
Very welcoming - good table - friendly pleasant staff - good menu variety & very tasty to boot - delicious dessert & coffee complete with Scottish tablet on the side- always a pleasure to dine at the Mustard Seed - our guests enjoyed it very much too - great place for great food Thank you
As always lovely lunch great service and atmosphere. Reasonable prices
The food was amazing we had the monkfish snd chicken both tasted amazing and very filling. My husband had the apple sorbet and I had the cheeseboard finished off the meal sublimely. Would highly recommend.
Loved it. Really lovely place to take my friends. Thank you
The service was good and our table was ready when we arrived!
Kitchen is way too loud for a fine dining experience. Sounded like a NYC meat market. The older female floor manager comes off as quite rude.
An amazing experience! The diner was excellent 👌 I recommend it !
Amazing as always. Our favourite restaurant in Inverness. Great value too for this quality of food.
Do not cater for allergies in their lunch set starter and main menu. Also didn’t take money off the set price even though I only was able to have a main
First Visit to the Mustard Seed & certainly not disappointed. Everything from Start to Finish was lovely & plenty of food. Really like the fact that you do an Early Evening Menu as well, plenty choice & caters for everyone. Definitely be coming back in the near future & will highly recommend you to Friends & Family for sure.
Lovely meal, we had the two course lunch with a dessert too. Food was amazing, service prompt and staff attentive. Plenty of choice in the lunch menu for me being gluten free.
Excellent service, excellent food (lots of gluten free options too), the early dinner set menu was a bargain. Would definitely recommend.
Lovely staff, welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. Good choice of food, well presented and delicious,
Food up to the usual great standard, ambience really nice, one of the table staff was very abrupt and handed plates to diners instead of placing them, she could do with some training!
Thoroughly enjoyed my lunch at the Mustard Seed, as did the friend I was with (a pre-birthday treat for her!). It is one of my favourite restaurants in Inverness and it never fails to impress. Great food, good value and very pleasant staff.
Overall my group found the food quality and taste to be poor, and the service spotty.
One always has a nice meal at The Mustard Seed. The staff is very nice and attentive. i
