Good food, delicious as usual but the worst waitress served us, was actually quite intimidating and rude. Never experienced this before. Unfortunate as booked as a treat and we'd driven an hour for it.

Everything was great apart from the white wine which was brought to the table without having been in the fridge.

Our table upstairs was by the balcony door. Please avoid! It was like Piccadilly Circus with staff coming and going. Food was okay but not as good as anticipated. Figs with goats cheese...... you almost needed a magnifier to find the cheese. Fish sharing platter could have been better. It was a small amount of food and the prosciutto ham was very fatty and tough. We both had venison for mains. Meat was good but rosemary crushed potatoes tasted bland and looked like green mushy peas. We won't be going back!

I went to Mustard Seed for my mums birthday, and she enjoyed the food. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We are both vegan and the vegan menu was brilliant. This is one of my favourite places to eat out.

I hear that the kitchen has changed hands since we last visited. It shows: food was very bland, over cooked and lacked any thought/seasoning. We are not tourists, but will not return till we hear good things again.

Food was excellent as always, however service was unusually pedestrian on this occasion. Took 3.5 hours from start to finish for just 3 courses. 45 minutes until we received our first drink!

We always go to the mustard for all our special occasions and are never disappointed! My husband and I went yesterday for lunch and the food was lovely, apart from the food I must say the mustard seed owners should be very proud of thier waiting servers who are very professional and polite and friendly

a first return visit since lockdown. we had friends visiting who all enjoyed their evening. Somehow the noise level has improved! Or I had the best seat!! Quite a problem to solve with the high vaulted ceiling, bare stone work and metal chimneys A credit to Inverness!!
