    It's not often that my husband and I will exclaim "I LOVE this spot!", but that's exactly what we…read moredid after dining here on our first night in Inverness. Everyone we encountered was friendly and welcoming. We were shown right to a table near the windows, offered drink menus, given the daily specials (for food and cocktails). We both ordered a pint (I was stoked to find they had Belhaven on tap!), and the Haggis & Steak Meatballs to start. After a bit of deliberation, I ordered the Pan-Fried Sea Bass for my main, and my husband went with the Slow Roasted Venison Haunch. The meatballs came out first and looked different than I expected. There were three meatballs served in a bowl of a cream sauce, accompanied by two bread slices and a small side salad. I was able to taste the haggis, which was a nice surprise. The haggis flavor didn't overpower the meatball, which in turn was given a nice creamy-herby flavor from the sauce. The salad that came with it was nice and light, and served with kale chips, giving it an extra bit of crunch and flavor. My entree was phenomenal. The Asian-inspired sauce that was drizzled over the fish and noodles added a nice flair to the flavor, without taking away from the flavor of the fish (sea bass is my favorite fish, after all). I was worried that the noodles wouldn't work with the dish overall, but it did turn out very well. The noodles were perfectly cooked and paired with al dente vegetable straws. Everything had a splash of the sauce, which tied it all together. My husband also immensely enjoyed his meal. He said that the venison was perfectly cooked and that the different sauces were all delicious. To be fair, he did say that he originally thought there were too many sauces on the plate, but once it was in front of him, and he was shoveling it into his face, he understood that they all worked together. An appetizer, an entree each, and two pints of beer per person later, we decided that we had to try their sticky toffee pudding. I'm not sure why we thought it was a good idea (other than the vague recollection of a vow I made before we even left the States, saying that I would eat sticky toffee pudding at every establishment that offered it), but we were glad we ordered it. I mean, we were full up and ready to 'splode, but we were glad we ordered it. Their pudding is served in a square, with a scoop of ice cream and warm caramel. It was the perfect ending to the most fantastic meal we had on this trip. We came very close to going back on our last night in town, as well, but wanted to try something different (in reality, we would've been much better off had we come back to The Ivy, but you live and learn.) I hope others stop in to try their wonderful entrees and fun cocktails. I want this restaurant to succeed so that when we return to Inverness, we have a place to go for a great meal!

    Wife was very hangry and needed food. The Ivy Bar & Kitchen was one of the first eateries we came…read moreacross. To be honest they have "Bar" first in their name so I should have lowered my expectations but wife on the verge of snapping at me, decided to go with it. Ordered and the food took a long time to arrive. I am all for slow food but any longer and the wife would have been storming out of there. Wife ordered the Scottish Salmon Special for £17. It was well cooked but not an especially creative dish. Actually, most of the menu looked uninspired. The salmon came with mashed potatoes and a creamy sauce that had no ambition. I was a bit bored with the menu so just went with the Ivy Burger. I asked for onion rings instead of chips (fries). Unfortunately the waitress didn't quite comprehend and I got chips and onion rings. The onion rings looked outstanding but sadly the rings were cold and oily. As soon as I touched the burger I knew it was going to be mediocre. The bun, though grilled was dense and close to crumbly. The burger was room temperature and bland. Even the haggis topping didn't distinguish it. Had to ask for some ketchup for my chips, wish they had some curry sauce. There was a tiny cup of slaw which was possibly the best part of the meal, a larger portion would have helped tremendously. Overall, get drinks here but pass on the food.o

    We had quite a bit of time to kill while waiting for the all-clear to board our train to Edinburgh…read more That was on me; I didn't know how busy the station would be, or how long it'd take us to walk from our hotel, so we left too early. I had initially thought we'd have to make a dinner out of crisps and soda from the WH Smith inside the station, as our First Class train tickets didn't include a meal, and it looked like all the restaurants inside the station were closed. But, we did a quick door check (if it opens, they're open!) at Ness & Thistle, and were happy to find the door opened. We got a table near the windows, where we could keep an eye on the departures board. There were two women working the bar that night, and one came out with menus and water. I really hate that I didn't get her name, because she was so fantastic. At any rate, I wasn't starving, but as our train stopped in Edinburgh after midnight, I knew I would need some kind of sustenance. After reviewing the menu, I picked the Mac n Cheese meal. I thought it sounded like a good, small meal. My husband chose the Battered Fish & Chips. I had a chance to take in the surroundings as we waited for our food. The interior is a lot...fancier...than I'd expected, given it's inside a train station. There are a few comfy looking overstuffed benches, as well as an inviting bar area. They allow enough space for luggage between tables, which is key for an establishment like this. The bathroom was nice and clean, as well. So, remember how I ordered the Mac n Cheese because I thought it'd be a small meal? Nope! I had to laugh when our sweet waitress brought our meals to the table. The mac was smothered in ooey, gooey cheese, and served with a side of chips and garlic bread. I barely made a dent in the mac! My husband tried to help out, but we never even got through half of the meal. I felt like such a wasteful person because I couldn't take it with me (4 hours on a train and into a hotel room with an uncertain fridge status). Still, the mac was very tasty. The cheese oozed, which I loved, and there was an extra zip to the sauce that spiced it up so that it was more than just a regular cheese sauce. My husband finished most of his meal, but I think he hit his "fried food threshold" about halfway through. The fish was expertly fried, and it came with chips (duh) and peas. He did finish off the fish and most of the peas but left a large pile of chips on his plate. He said it was some of the best fried fish he's had. We were pleasantly surprised by the meal, and by the service. And, before we left, we were shocked at how busy they got so late at night. There were four different parties posted up at the tables and benches by the time we left, all of them looking like they were ready to party.
