If you've never had Cullen Skink you definitely should try it here…read more It's a small homey cafe on the corner. Great service and all. This particular afternoon I really just wanted some extra protein so I got both a burger and Skink. The burger was solid but I really liked the Cullen Skink. If you are a fan of Seafood it's a must. I say Seafood and not just Clam Chowder because I feel like depending on where you live, the Chowder can vary. The one's I love the most are the creamy white broths but I also wasn't a huge fan of the Seafood Chowder's I had in Ireland. It's just a little too thin on the broth and creaminess. However there's something about the skink that really does it for me. It's not as creamy as the Clam Chowder we have in states but it's also got a little Smokey component from the fish. I almost wish I woulda had a local whiskey to go with it. What made it even better was that it was a cold day so of course the soup tasted even better. Parking is a little challenging. Theres a parking lot in front of this place but it's still kinda small. I highly recommend giving yourself some extra time to get there due to the parking situation.

Fantastic selection of Whisky - great staff…read more On our way south we passed Tomintoul and needed a quick break. It was more of a happy accident we walked into this store. And what a place this is! A huge selection of mostly Whisky. From the big names to the small destilleries. Can't believe no one before me reviewed this place on Yelp. The staff probably knows everything there is about Whisky and is very friendly and helpful. Learned a lot more about Whisky (like the 1-3 drops of water). There is Whisky for really any budget. Starting from more affordable ones (around 15-20£) and up and up. There are some Whiskys available for tasting and if you are interested in buying a specific bottle you might can - if available - have a taste first too. We boughts a package of small bottles (3 pcs) for 40£ and a bottle of the "Old Malt Cask" for 89£ (distilled 1992). What a fantastic Whisky. We didn't know this brand and tried some others around that price class. This one here we liked the most. Golden colour, a slight vanilla taste, very smooth. A great shop, great staff and our dog was welcome too! Of all the Whisky shops we visited this one here had the best and most interesting selection.

We booked a table at Mustard Seed based on its reputation, which was strong with local foodies. I…read moremention this in the event that unfavorably influenced our perception of our experience, which was not the five-star dinner that we were anticipating. We arrived on time to a nearly empty restaurant (weekday evening, post rush hour, one other table wrapping up on the ground level as we arrived, a couple more on the upper level), and had to wait for our reserved table, which ended up being by the front door on a cold and rainy evening (aka normal Scottish weather for November). It was unclear what was slowing service down, but the wait to order cocktails was surprisingly long. Our drinks were made promptly and well. We began to place our meal order when the server excused themselves while in the process to take a drink order from the table that had arrived several minutes after we were seated (with the entirety of the lower level of the restaurant available, this boisterous table of four was set right next to us. Fortunately we hadn't been planning a quiet, romantic dinner...). In fairness to our server, there may have only been one other person working tables that night, but not great form even so. We eventually got our order placed. A breadbasket was brought out (three slices of bread for the two of us). Our food arrived in OK time and was itself OK, having seemed to have sat in the pass a little long for some reason. All this said, the menu looked solid, and while the entrees weren't especially memorable this visit, their cocktail options were good (we enjoyed the Highlanders Negroni made with Badachro Coastal gin) and desert options (a proper Mixed Berry Eton Mess). An additional positive note: my wife lost a ring in the restaurant during our visit and the bartender, quickly seeing that we were in distress, joined our search for it. I'm confident we would have given up on finding it were it not for his effort, so again, cheers to you, sir. This was above and beyond, and what I think probably passes for the standard of care that many experience dining here. So a mixed bag for us. I don't think this represents a typical dining experience here. Mustard Seed is well-thought of locally (there is a small, discreet shelf of awards tucked away around a corner), and if we should find ourselves back in Inverness looking for a dinner spot we wouldn't rule out Mustard Seed out of hand. I look forward to the prospect of rewriting this review.

This was an excellent lunch stop for us in the town of Inverness.  We picked this place partially…read morebecause it was a recommendation by renowned travel writer Rick Steves back in 2014.  It is also located conveniently in the heart of the commercial district and right alongside the Ness River.  Our friendly and engaging hostess/manager was Alina, a 17 year veteran.  They have a cozy and attractive 2 story high ceilinged setting and we sat on the 2nd floor.  The lunch menu was a variety of high quality 2 course selections for a very reasonable 18.95 GBP.  Our party of 4 had a delicious and beautifully presented lunch.  For the mains, I had their traditional fish pie and wife had their filet of seabass.  Our travel mates had the rump steak and red pesto gnocchi.  It got busy and the kitchen might have gotten backed up and it took a little while on the food, but we enjoyed hanging out here.  Service was otherwise friendly and attentive.  Highly recommended should you find yourselves in the lovely town of Inverness.

I was driving and unable to really enjoy them at the distillery but they gave me take home bottles and I enjoyed them back in our hotel room.
