The Mustard Seed Restaurant

Fantastic restaurant food was fantastic and the service was brilliant

One of us was vegetarian and her experience was very poor. There was only one vegetarian option on the lunch menu- penne pasta, tomatoes and feta cheese. It was bland, unimpressive and we could have made it better at home. The vegetarian options should be as good as the meat/fish options in the current climate with adequate protein content rss as thee than carb heavy. The meat option was fine. Suggest some work needs to be done on the vegetarian offer as this ruined the experience for all concerned. Having said that, our waiter was great. Thanks

Sunday lunch felt a little rushed but no complaints food as always good

An absolutely delicious, seasonal, healthy menu. Real focus on local ingredients. The atmosphere feels special without being pretentious, and the staff are so attentive and friendly. Service was super fast. Second time here and will definitely be back!

Lovely meal, nice service. Poor table location. Very busy restaurant.

We booked a birthday dinner and it was a fantastic service, food was delicious. Steaks were lovely and soft. We were well looked after and definitely will be back!!!

From the time we arrived until we left, the serving staff worked as a team to make sure everything we ordered arrived promptly and was to our liking. The food was innovative, beautifully presented and delicious. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Inverness!

Excellent meal,great service, will return Atmosphere is great, staff very helpful

Outstanding meal. Absolutely delicious! I do think we had a new server. She seemed to struggle and that was the only disappointment of the evening.

Just a brilliant pre theatre early evening meal - server, surroundings and food quality just perfect!!

Very friendly people, quick service and very nice food. We loved the beautiful scenery.

As always the food and service are exceptional. This is our ‘go to’ place and it never fails to deliver on all fronts.

Just Perfect Food Excellent Serve Excellent Table was not in best position!!

Always a lovely meal and great service and we had a window seat which is pleasant too

I cannot fault it at all, fantastic service. It really caters for all budgets.

Always great options on the menu, well prepared and served by excellent staff.

This was our 1st visit, and we will definitely be back the next time we're in Inverness. There's a great ambiance and the service is professional yet friendly. We chose from the early evening menu and the food was delicious. Highly recommended!

Lovely meal and atmosphere. Worth the price paid for lunch menu.

Lovely welcome from friendly staff, which makes a massive difference to overall experience. Food delicious. We both had the chicken which was perfectly cooked and the sauce was delicious too. The chocolate and orange cheesecake was excellent and I tried my mum's apple crumble which was the real deal, proper crumble!! Best place to eat in Inverness. Can't fault it. Wish we lived here.

Great experience from start to finish. Staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful.

Met our family for an evening birthday meal. Excellent service with good space between courses and everyone enjoyed the food. Upstairs table with a view over the river added to our experience. Will certainly come back.

An amazing visit to the mustard seed. Food was excellent and service was top tier, the meals came out in a timely manner did not feel rushed. Booked the table for a birthday dinner and requested a seat over looking the river ness that did not disappoint. Really appreciated the attention to my request, nothing else was asked for in the request. The sparkler and scoop of ice-cream was a wonderful touch, couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Exceptional service and outstanding food 😋 and amazing atmosphere for our 47th wedding anniversary

Fabulous, friendly, attentive service. Both lunch courses very tasty and perfectly cooked.

Four of us went out for a pre-Christmas dinner, great food and atmosphere in the restaurant. The views over the river were great, Christmas lights switched on, a real buzz about the place. Well done to the Mustard Seed team!

We had a lovely lunch, service from our waitress Kalla was excellent. Lovely young girl, 10 out of 10 for her. We had an issue which we explained and was going to be dealt with. Food was amazing, as always.

Exellent service from the word go, fantastic food just amazing

food was delicious and our service was great will visit again

Great dining at the Mustard Seed tonight. Haggis starters, piping hot Fish pie, roast chicken with a cheese and leak sauce, seasonal veg all excellent. Service was on the ball and we shared a cheesecake fo finish the meal. We'll done to the complete team.

Table was amazing, food was amazing, service was amazing and company was amazing

Thoroughly enjoyed lunch today, staff were very friendly, nothing too much bother. Food was delicious.

Another great meal at the Mustard Seed. One of us had the steak, and the other had the chicken, both really tasty. Shared an Orkney fudge cheesecake for dessert, topped the meal off nicely. Looking forward to our next visit.

Service was not great, we couldn’t be offered Prosecco glasses for our Prosecco as they were all out on another table - I would have thought you should be able to cater for all tables

Two of us went for the early evening menu, good value and really tasty. Not too busy so no gaps between courses. Service was friendly so all in all a great night out!

Loved the new menu - plenty of choice and good value!

Service from staff was very good, so was the food! The only downer was the odour from the log fire, the flue has to be faulty. All our clothes smelled of fumes, had to wash them all before we could use them again!

Have been coming to the mustard seed for years and have never been disappointed, great quality and value for money.

Food was okay at best. Steak overcooked, salmon Hollandaise sauce was odd tasting. Service was awful. We were repeatedly ignored, asked for more water several times only to see server come by table four times without water. We finally were given more water as our check arrived. I will note that was only beverage ordered. Server asked how the food was then immediately turned away without waiting for response. I tipped but wish I hadn’t. We’ve been looking forward to this since our last visit in 2022 when we couldn’t get a table. Very disappointed.

Great choice on the menu, lovely window seat, food was delicious and beautifully presented and waitress was very friendly. Will be back.

Excellent meal, great value, great service, great location, will be back.

Amazing!! The two course lunch is SUCH a great deal and the options were fabulous! I also ordered a drink with Scottish Gin (Highland Negroni) and Panna cotta for dessert. Everything was perfect. I had a table by the gorgeous fireplace and service throughout was spot on. I'll definitely be back on my next visit to the city.

Was the greatest meal, staff were OK need to work on there table manners but it was a great experience and would definitely go back

Staff were all so friendly and welcoming. We had a lovely evening

We hadn’t dined with you for years because we don’t tend to plan ahead & are invariably to get a table at the last minute. Glad we booked on this occasion. Lovely food & atmosphere and good to see you very busy at lunchtime.

Good service, friendly staff. Main course could do with more vegetables with the meat and more sauce.

Great Service, friendly staff. good atmosphere. recognised my Birthday. Thank you

Service was good, but the food was just okay. I had the lemon sole which wasn't that tasty and was over powered by the potato and beetroot salad it sat on. My wife has the monkfish, which she also thought was tasteless. We have been before and it was great, not so much this time unfortunately.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Food was great. We will be back.

Unfortunately the food was not as hot as it could have been. Same with the coffee which was cold. Otherwise the food was good and the service was good considering it was a busy night.

Cozy, unique restaurant with delicious, beautifully presented food served by efficient, cheerful servers. Highly recommend!
