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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
