The Mustard Seed Restaurant

Booked 2 months in advance asking for a table with a view If possible. Arrived on time. escorted to a table which had not been set, and looked directly into the staff working/ cleaning area. Never shown the daily specials . Waitress clueless and unable to open our wine.food average and definitely not value for money. Definitely our worst dining experience in Scotland over 3 weeks

Excellent service, staff, food,atmosphere. always enjoy our visit to the Mustard Seed

We visited at lunchtime and had food from the set menu which we were very impressed by. The food was great value for such high quality produce. Can highly recommend the Stornoway black pudding and blue cheese bon bons starter and the Chef’s Own Fish Pie main was amazing. Would definitely return next time we visit Inverness. Staff, ambience and surroundings all added to this wonderful restaurant. If you’re undecided about where to eat in Inverness go to The Mustard Seed!

Generally good although I personally found the choices on the menu a bit restricted given my personal preferences.

Fabulous! Great dining experience! Service and food was very good!

Delicious food and friendly service. Great family restaurant. Definitely recommend.

A lovely venue inside but our experience was disappointing. Our meals were luke warm, the portions small relative to the cost and the service was mediocre and slow. Our waitress wasn't sharp or that on it and this always sets the tone of one's experience. I wouldn't return in a hurry and didn't feel it was value for money.

Very nice ambience and great food. I highly recommend the duck, if available.

Loved the food! Highly recommended. Great ambience and good selection of drinks

A lovely greeting at the door, an amazing atmosphere, the team were great. The food was delicious, I had the specials, mussels and duck, both were presented beautifully and tasted awesome. It was a perfect birthday evening out. Well done.

Very good food, especially the seafood! Would recommend for sure

Very good experience - well presented, tasty food and excellent service from staff.

Absolutely fantastic, staff are wonderful; so professional and attentive but really relaxed. Food was fabulous. It was for a birthday meal and it was a really special and memorable meal out.

Can only heap praise on every member of the Mustard Seed staff. Continuing to deliver an outstanding level from booking to enjoying the food. A 5 star visit (as always).

Food and service really good. Orkney waitress exceptional as was the American who served us. Haven't been for ages but will defo return.

Lovely meal, excellent service from the staff as it always is. Got my favourite table. Thankyou

My partner and I had yet another great meal in this wonderful restaurant. I’ve been many times over the years and have never been disappointed. Lovely food and great atmosphere and at a very reasonable price which is difficult to find these days. Well done to all the staff for their hard work and excellent service. My only complaint would be that you have to book well in advance as they are so popular but hey ho it’s definitely worth the wait. 😊

The food was good, not great. Risotto was bland and mushy. Our server was not friendly. From prior reviews we were expecting more. The restaurant is very quiet upstairs

Lovely food in a lovely restaurant. It would be nice to have draught beer rather than expensive bottles and cans

We’ll be back, great food, and excellent service and location

My 2 sisters my brother and myself had a really lovely lunch.

Mustard Seed restaurant left my wife and I with a great memory. Food, Staff and Atmosphere the best in Inverness.

Nope. After one hour and 15 minutes we still did not have our food. When it arrived, my order was completely wrong and half missing. The steak my sister had was not good but she enjoyed the potatoes. The chicken and monk fish were good but risotto was inedible. Our server did not mention specials and did not ask for drink order before asking what we wanted to order. Our server seemed new, but also not very interested, the manager tried to salvage plethora of mistakes but average food at high prices will not have us returning nor recommending. We had such high expectations but boo.

Pork-and-apple burger was too salty and otherwise dry and tasteless. The apple-cinnamon crumble tasted stale. The server was hard to find, and the hostess had to fill in for her.

Every time we visit Inverness we always have a fantastic meal at The Mustard Seed . Staff very friendly and knowledgeable good atmosphere love it.

Getting the check from the time we finished eating took almost 45 minutes, despite asking the server and seeing them attend to other people multiple times after we requested. We ended up getting up to try to talk to someone to get it, but our original server walked straight past us as well as who we think was the restaurant manager (though not sure). Food was decent, but overall the restaurant seemed overrated given the reviews.

Perfect as usual food great friendly staff all u wanted For a meal out.

Food was amazing, service was great! Loved this place! ❤️ Definitely have to put it on your list when you are in Inverness!

Personale molto gentile; cibo ottimo, anche se prezzo un po’ altino. Sicuramente uno dei migliori ristoranti per mangiare qua a inverness

My husband and I were in celebrating our anniversary and they really made it special. The food was delicious and the service very friendly and helpful.

Food was delicious and lunch menu is very reasonably priced.

We had a great meal at the Mustard Seed. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the food was amazing and the place itself is a great venue. Our only issue was that it felt a bit rushed, but that was a very small negative. Would definitely recommend the Mustard Seed as a great place to eat.

Wir waren auf Empfehlung von Freunden dort und hatten daher auch reserviert. Eine kluge Entscheidung. Trotz des vollbesetzten Restaurants hat alles gepasst. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Overall our meals were good with the following exceptions: A very small beef olive, the beef of which was very tough and relatively tasteless. The mustard sauce with the black pudding was quite rich and the pea and spinach that accompanied the fish pie was not good. The chicken was quite tough and the potatoes, although described as roasted were more like diced boiled baby potatoes

Excellent service and food, wish we lived local. Highly recommended!

Staff adorable and food delicious can’t wait to go back again x

We had a lovely meal, with a lovely couple of guys waiting on us, beautiful food apart from the crumble that my mam and I had, which wasn’t really very crumbly (if that’s a word) but t all round a lovely lunch for my mam&dads birthdays.

Fantastic service even though the resteraunt was super busy. Food was great and service with a smile! Thank you for the birthday sparkler :-)

Very good as always!.will be back as soon as possible.

Très bon accueil. Personnel sympathique et compétent. Service rapide et efficace. Les plats sont généreux et bien présentés.

A great meal, great service and wonderful atmosphere. The price is reasonable too!

Lovely restaurant.Had the two course early dinner menu. Both starters and mains were presented well and both very tasty.

The overall experience was up to usual standards, excellent. Only "fly in the ointment" was the table close to the exit and the register. However this was not that intrusive.

some dishes were not available. I believe that a good restaurant must have better management

Delicious food and very friendly staff, definitely recommend The Mustard Seed.

Great setting and loved the cocktail menu! Really like it

As ever superb and excellent - one of the best places to dine in Inverness!

Service was excellent, food was great, and loved the overall ambiance.

Have visited every time we come to Inverness and food never disappoints . Felt we were being rushed tonight by servers and just needed a little break between courses .

Would have preferred to have sat up on ‘the balcony tier’ rather than the side room near the entrance, given that we had booked quite a few weeks ago. However, food and service were excellent - will recommend
