The Mustard Seed is a lovely vibrant restaurant and the early bird menu is delicious and great value for money.
I love the mustard seed so much, I have another table booked for Thursday
Great service and good recommendations Interesting presentation and good food.
This restaurant never fails to live up to expectations. Great food, excellent service. Friendly atmosphere. What is there not to like!
Excellent service and good value for money. Pleasant place to eat
Lovely atmosphere, good food, monkfish was amazing. Service took a while, only one bartender meant our cocktails were slow. Our waitress also had a bit of an attitude issue, rolled her eyes a few times. I understand being busy but felt a bit unp
We ordered the prawns with linguini which was fabulous. Emma, our waitress, was very attentive yet also had such a positive attitude. One of the best meals we’ve had on our 10 day trip in Scotland. Be sure to order the cheesecake - lighter than most but so delicious. Oh and the baked Brie and couscous salad were to die for. Make reservations as they were turning away people without them.
Our table was booked for 9:15 which we know was late, but it was offered as an option. By 10pm, it was clear the staff wanted to go home and so we didn't linger (we only had one round of cocktails and mains). Whilst we understand the lateness, one would expect that if a table booking is offered for that late, then it should be treated like a table that came in at 7pm.
Both of our meals were lovely, price for 2 courses really good & service was excellent.
Food was good Service was excellent Toilets upstairs were out of order Our table wasn’t in a great spot as right beside doorway with views of stairway, ice buckets etc
We visited for lunch for my mums birthday, it was lovely. Our server, Daniel, was polite, attentive and friendly. I mentioned it was my mums birthday, because why not, and he arranged to play a happy birthday song and brought mum a wee bowl of ice cream with a sparkler candle in it. It was lovely but not overwhelming. Would 100% go back again and recommend it to friends.
Very cute and staff was super friendly! If only we were there for conversation and a drink only. The food however was lackluster. Priced high and flavorless. Vegetables were not fresh and bland. Every plate served had a swirl of balsamic reduction to make it look nice but that doesn’t make it worth the higher end feel there were going for. Some of the saddest food ever to be plated.
Absolutely wonderful food & great waiting staff. Just love going there
we had such a lovely time. Service was great, food was delicious and everyone was so kind.
Great food, nice location, friendly, helpful service. A bit noisy inside, particularly on the ground floor.
Delicious food. Great service. Early dinner was a great value.
Staff were amazing and attentive and the food was excellent 👌
Lovely food and excellent friendly service. A lovely cosy environment.
An absolutely lovely place to have a fantastic lunch £16.95 for two courses amazing value for money.
We had a lovely meal at the mustard seed, the food and atmosphere was second to none! And the waitress was very attentive. Would 100% return.
Lovely lunch & catch up with an old friend today. Welcome, service & food great as always.
Great food and impeccable service, thank you for a wonderful evening
Great restaurant - always have a good meal here! Fabulous
We had herring and fried Brie appetizers, sea bass, and brownie for dessert. All courses were delicious and a good value. The atmosphere was nice and the service was quick and friendly.
Lovely friendly staff, vibrant atmosphere and great food and wine
Fantastic service. Fantastic quality food for the price charged. Well woth a visit
The service was great from the moment we checked in! They helped us celebrate our honeymoon and our last night in Inverness! The food and cocktails were great!
Enjoyed the river view - staff friendly, pleasant . Food choice good — enjoyed our choice very much . Thank you
Always enjoy the Mustard Seed. Good food and service. Value for money.
Service with a smile and attentive. Food was amazing, with a varied choice.
Nice friendly staff and they acknowledged my husband’s birthday which was lovely. The food and finer details were just “ok” and not as good as some of the other restaurants of a similar nature and price range in Inverness. Irish butter in foils that you get on a low cost flight, ginger beer served in a can, very limited menu (for pescatarian / vegetarian - we only had a choice of 2 mains). The food was “ok” but nothing special and the portions small. The drinks menu for non-alcohol drinkers very limited. Most restaurants now see the potential market for mocktails and more zero alcohol spirits and wines. The location and building were lovely and service good. Just sadly doesn’t compete in Inverness so wouldn’t be somewhere we would return in a hurry. Hopefully the feedback is useful as it wouldn’t take much to make this restaurant better!
Delicious food, efficient and friendly service and lovely atmosphere. We will be back.
Really like the interior of the restaurant and the service was generally good but the food wasn't. It was edible but not good. I had the pakora starter which was ok but not very interesting taste & then the sea bass on a mound of bland potato salad (I can't remember what else should have been on the plate but basically that was all there was). I ate the fish but left most of the potato & the person who cleared didn't ask whether it was ok. The other two I ate with weren't impressed with their meals but it was a birthday and I didn't want to make an issue of it. A real pity - with good food it'd be a great place.
Very enjoyable lunch which was from a Xmas present I was given received last year
Very kind, friendly, warm and attentive staff. Lunch menu excellent. Thank you.
Lovely lunch and wine with great service Thank you very much
Amazing lunch me my sisters had celebrating my mums birthday which the restaurant had also planned a sparkling candle with some ice cream and starters and mains were both delicious
Wonderful waitress! Nice food. Nice portions, not too much. Thank you.
We had a wonderful experience. Adam made sure we had a great table with a view, and also helped us celebrate our anniversary with a surprise glass of Prosecco! The ambiance is beautiful, the food was outstanding, and the service provided by Andrew genuinely friendly and superb. Thank you, Mustard Seed crew, for an unforgettable evening in Inverness!
Busy night at the Mustard Seed, but food really tasty and staff very attentive. Looking forward to our next meal out!
Wife and I went for the first time , great service
Great service as always.Staff are very helpful and very polite
Lovely food and wonderful sttaff! The fried goat cheese appetizer special was amazing
Excellent lunch, the service was very good and attentive, from the warm welcome of the lady in charge to the young waitressing staff on the first floor. The food was delicious and the bill was the best part. Really recommend this lovely restaurant
Early evening meal for two of us, really enjoyed it. Place was buzzing!
Our food took about 45min to arrive. Tables around us had their starters and mains before our dishes arrived. Food was delicious but over all experience was poor.
We had a wonderful time at the restaurant. From starters to main course, the wine and staff attendance all was just perfect
I think the emphasis on certain dishes was the bread ! The bruschetta was meant to be Brie and fig but all it was , was a thick slice of bread and two slithers of fig and the same of the Brie , very disappointed. The service was nothing special we weren’t asked if we had any allergies ( luckily I chose food that didn’t affect me) Nice atmosphere, but I wouldn’t rush back!
Another great meal at the Mustard Seed, well done to the team!
Excellent food, friendly staff, good view of river and premises close to theatre and town centre.
