Scottish salmon with mint risotto 8/10
S D.

Ambiance 10/10 Food 7/10 Loved sitting in this restaurant. The service was excellent and they played a slowed down version of popular songs. We sat upstairs by the window looking out on the river. The food was good but didn't stand out with the exception of the hoisin duck bon bons. It's absolutely amazing, served with a mango sauce. I would highly recommend even if you don't like duck. Also tried the Scottish salmon with mint risotto and ribeye. The carrot soup had a nice kick to it.

Had a nice lunch here on our last day in Inverness. It's a really nice restaurant in a great location right on the River Ness, so offers great views. Also, we were seated upstairs which gives better views of both the river and the overall restaurant and bar. For food, my wife and I both got the two course meal, so I had the Deconstructed Prawn Cocktail and Fillet of Seabass. The prawns were good and the seabass (and couscous that came with it) was really good. They do a really good job on food presentation here, so it looked great, too. My wife had the Breaded French Brie, which she loved, and Red Pesto Gnocchi, which she said was just ok. Servers were friendly and attentive. The one odd thing that happened was we were presented with the two course menu option, whereas all tables seated after us were presented with a large specials placard which had some dishes I might have ordered. I noticed the one other couple seated before us also looking at the list of specials, so they weren't offered it either. Might have been because we were seated so early - not really sure. Otherwise, was a really good meal in a great location.

Food was awesome. My Seabass was to die for. Service was spot on. We sat outside and it was perfect night. Atmosphere has a cool vibe.

Sea Bass

First day in Inverness and we found this restaurant. We were able to get in as someone cancelled. We got the early dinner menu for under 20 pounds for 2 courses. We got the mackerel and salmon pate and Gorgonzola bruschetta. Bruschetta was a bit bready but the pate was very good. For the entree we got the steak and sea bass. Both were good and decent portions for the price. It was a bit quiet as we were early but it did get a bit noisy when larger groups arrived.

The calamari appetizer (3 rings of calamari)

Our entrees (steak and venison) were enjoyable. Our calamari appetizer only had 3 rings of calamari. This was disappointing.

Ribeye steak served on Garlic & Thyme Baked Potatoes, Glazed Carrots and Green Peppercorn & Shallot Sauce

We had high hopes for this restaurant but were a little disappointed. It took them almost 70 mins to bring us our meals. The green peppercorn sauce on the steak had great flavor. The ribeye isn't my favorite cut so I didn't enjoy the meal as much as I would've liked.

Lunch Starter: Pickled rollmop Herring
 Beetroot and cucumber relish, horseradish creme fraiche and watercress (GF)

I tried to pop in here for dinner, thinking that as a solo diner I could sit at the bar, but upon arrival I found out that a reservation is a must and there is no bar seating. So, when I saw an open reservation for lunch the next day I grabbed it. My reservation was for 12pm, when the restaurant opened. Surprisingly when I arrived there were already a lot of tables filled. I was seated on the upper level at a 2 top near the windows. While other reviews have mentioned that service was slow, my service was fine. Perhaps because they had just opened but my waitress was attentive throughout the 2 course meal. She was a bit difficult to find when I was ready to pay but all in all not bad. For lunch, for £15.95, you can get 2 courses (Starter & Main). I chose the Pickled rollmop Herring starter and Pan seared fillet of Scrabster Hake main. The herring starter was super bright, acidic, and light. A great way to wake up my palette and appetite. The hake main was good as well. Perhaps a bit more bland then the herring but a nice piece of fish. The mashed potatoes that the main came with were a bit dry and starchy for my taste but that could just be me. Obviously I couldn't pass up an opportunity to grab a drink so I started with the local Kinrara gin £5.30 - delicious! Light, floral, and fruity. Then I went for a large pour of the white False wine from South Africa £9 - perfect with the fish. Crisp, citrus, clean. If you're looking for a nicer sit down experience in Inverness this is a good option. Be sure to get a reservation and book early.

The meal was impeccable with the steak being cooked perfectly medium. The early evening dinner is a fantastic value! Reservations recommended, since I saw many walk-ins being turned away. Worth the wait to make reservations!

pan seared sea bass and rump steak!

Walking along the Ness river in Inverness city center came along this restaurant. Checked the menu and made reservation for lunch the next day. We came earlier than our reserved time and they were able to accommodate us. Very friendly staff and service were great. Good food and nice ambiance. Highly recommended.

Mussels
LaToya A.

We ate out one night in inverness and very glad we chose this spot. The staff was very helpful and had great suggestions. The mussels were some of the best I've ever had. Period. And they had a good amount of gluten free and vegetarian options for the people in our party. The ambiance was also very cute with a fireplace in the center. I would definitely visit again.

Group dinner while on tour of Scotland. This was one of the most delicious and memorable meals we had. The restaurant is charming and the food imaginative. Everything I ordered was delicious. Everyone in our group was commenting on how great these meal was, so I'm pretty certain everyone left very happy. The service was a little disorganized but we were a large group.

It was edgy and funky yet very sophisticated, had a wonderful lunch, nice people had just a great time

One of the best meals we had while visiting Scotland. The food was delicious. The ambiance was chill and relaxed. We had a great table overlooking the Ness river. The server was professional and efficient Would highly recommend this place for your next visit to Inverness

Stopped by this spot after a quick jaunt to Loch Ness. This was the 4th stop on our British Isles…read morecruise and our 2nd stop in Scotland. Inverness is a small town and easily maneuverable. We only had about an hour before we had to meet the bus to head back to the cruise ship. We were starving and I needed a beer. From the outside this place didn't look like a pub but walking in you definitely got that feeling. I ordered 2 Yorkshire puddings and haggis with whiskey sauce (because I was told they were appetizers) and my husband ordered some kind of soup which he said was very tasty. Of course he ate my other appetizer.. Because it was awesome. I ordered the Tennant Lager. Very good choice. Scotland has some mighty tasty brews. The service was ok though not especially attentive or quick. We unfortunately had to ask for everything. Had we more time to spend maybe the wait would not have been so bad. Having said that, the food was great and the beer was delicious. If you have some time and want something tasty, definitely stop in here.

Nice restaurant, prices are correct and the staff friendly. I tried the chicken & haggis bonbons…read morewith pepper sauce. So delicious! The 1/2 pint of beer is priced at £2. You can also chose 2 meals between a list of 8 for £10,50. However, the link between these meals is quite difficult to make.
