They have indoor and outdoor seating. The inside is small but quaint and is decorated with so many rare bottles of scotch. Overall a great place to have a dram with great people.

That was the case here, as two young women seemed to split the service for our group of five. Neither one seemed to feel any responsibility for our table, or to be interested in actually serving. Just ordering water was a chore. There were mistakes in the drinks and food order, eventually rectified. But they saved the worst for the end. We told each in unmistakable terms that we would like to box/wrap approximately half of three meals so that we could enjoy desserts. Later, after the food taken away failed to re-appear, we were told, "There's been a bit of a mix-up." All the food had been thrown away. I feel badly for saying so, because the food was excellent and the venue a pleasant one. But this was the most lackadaisical service we received in five weeks of European travel.

I do however find Yelp to be a helpful metric and this is the first time since I have been a member of yelp since 2009 that hospitality has challenged by stance. There is so much to say, but as a 46 year old who has spent their entire life enjoying the sound of their own voice I will keep this brief as I am being dragged, kicking and screaming, into maturity. Just outside of Inverness sits a quirky and humble inn perched on a corner in a village with the same qualities in equal measure. The host and owner, Jim, has plied his trade here since 2003 and I can only imagine that the well worn, but not shabby, interior and decor is a product of passion for his craft. They seem to have an ability to cobble together a staff that only exceeds their grace in hospitality in their camaraderie as a team with a total sweetie manning the ship. Everyone is beyond welcoming. The food veers away from your typical standard Scottish pub fare with splashes of American standards along with some continental fare, while still having chow that is common to the region. The beer and whisky menu is curated and a welcome refreshment on the middle leg of our journey as most Scottish pubs tend to lean more towards regional standards, not a bad thing, but after drinking dozens of pints of bitters and milds it was a delight to see a lovely pilsner on draft. I am not a whisky drinker myself but I am in hospitatliy and over hearing the servers describe the selection when asked by the guests one can tell they have done their homework. All in all a place busting with charm and personality in each and every employee and hospitality at its finest. If you're lucky enough to be able to take the trip and brave the roads you will be handsomely rewarded.

Before we went on our trip, my boyfriend did a little bit of research on the are we would be…read morestaying so we didn't waste time trying to figure out nearby good places. Not even 10 minutes from our place he had marked The Anderson. Just a short drive from our AirBnb, and lucky to get a parking spot just across from it, this was starting to be a great night. We walk in, and the host immediately greeted us. There was an empty room to our left, which I'm assuming was for private parties or busier nights, but we were escorted straight in the room behind the host. Cozy room, with a small bar, and filled with locals. All having a good time, and some even talking with the staff showing they visit the restaurant often. That was a good sign and made us feel great about picking this place for dinner. Our server was awesome. Very friendly, treated us like family, and helped us with what to order. The specials of the day are all written down on a chalk board and she brought it to our table and explained each dish to us. One of the things we wanted to try was their haggis, and since we didn't know if we would like it or not, she recommended just getting a side which she said would be enough for both of us. On top of that I got the Special Pie of the day: Chicken Bacon and Mushroom pie. The way she described it sounded delicious so I just had to try it, even if I'm not a fan of pie crust. Haggis came out and to my surprise I really liked it. It's texture is kind of like ground beef and corn beef hash in one (IMO), salty and flavorful. The Pie was perfection! I even loved the crust. Homemade, flaky, buttery delicious crust but not a lot of it so you can truly enjoy the flavors of the filling. Tender juicy chicken, creamy sauce with mushrooms and the bacon adds more flavor to it. The pasta special was a monkfish wrapped with pancetta with a creamy sauce and was divine. While we enjoyed our dinner we also had the chance to pick a record to play on the turntable - How cool is that? And even with the music and everyone having conversations all around the place was never loud so we could enjoy our conversation as well. Honestly one of the best finds during our trip.

Wandered into the Copper Dog (since it was the only place that had food at 3pm). Quaint and rustic and just what you would imagine in the countryside of Scotland. Finally tried haggis bon bons for the first time and ordered 3 types of local cheeses. The haggis was much more tasty than were originally led to believe. Although it's a mix of heart, liver and lung minced up - it was served deep fried in a bon bon (haggis ball) with a whisky sauce and a wee bit of lettuce. The local cheeses were also tasty served with oat crackers (not as much a fan). The haggis bon bons were so good we ordered another plate to share between the 3 of us. Had a huge array of whisky, beer and wine available. ordered the steak pie, fish and chips and haggis and cabbage. Everything was so good. Who would have thought a small countryside venue would be serving up such delicious Scottish food.
