We had the pepperoni and Spicy beef pizzas and they were great! If you like thin crust, they were super . A little light on the cheese sonic you like lots of cheese and a thick crust, may not be your best choice. The reason for the rating is that it took us close to an hour to get our food. I'll take some heat as I should have spoke up earlier. Our waiter checked on us after about 40 minutes and was clearly distraught that we hadn't seen the food yet. About 15 minutes later, he came back and said it was almost ready. At the hour mark, I was ready to surrender and walk out. The manager showed up with the food, comped it and apologized for the mistake that he said he had made. All in all, still frustrating but the manager did his best to make it right. I would probably try another place first but the pizzas was great!

Great pizzas, quick service and prices could be a bit better…read more I wish they had more options in their menu like soups, more pasta options etc. Would definitely recommend it if you fancy some nice pizzas in Inverness. For a more authentic Italian with more options I would recommend Bella Italia. 4 pizzas plus soft drinks was around 61pounds which for me is a bit too much when it's only pizza. Can't complain about the flavors and quality though, that's why I give 4 starts. Would like to take 1 star and a half off them because of lack of options in the menu and price.. All the rest is spot on.

To start we went for the salmon gin cured appetizer with pickled radish and seaweed. This was a very good start to the meal and had really interesting flavors. I really appreciate and enjoy seeing what a chef can do with a vegetable and tonight was no different. The cabbage with potato and puréed carrot was my choice and wow was this good. The dare I say humble ingredients were elevated in a way that I felt really highlighted each vegetable. I all but licked my plate. My husband got the venison and after a dash of salt to lift the potato flavor a bit more to his taste, he also just about licked the plate clean. A few cocktails (tallisker old fashioned for him and Lost Scotsman for myself) added to the experience). Service was friendly and the view we had was looking out over the River. A really nice night all around.

On the inside are three different levels, all small areas with tables tightly together. We were seated on the 2nd level so I don't know about the third level. No one dresses up, even in a more expensive restaurant, just a note. We tried a variety of items including Mushroom and onion broth, cep and hazelnut gnocchi, roasted shallots, shimeji mushrooms and green onion oil £19.95 (VG). Parmesan and truffle fries £4.50. Heritage tomato and pesto salad £4.50 (GF,VG). Tender stem broccoli, yogurt and lime dressing, toasted peanuts £4.50 (V). Soup of the day with bread and beurre noisette whipped butter £6.95 (GFA,VG). I wanted to love everything and came in to love everything. What I did love was the soup of the day (the bread was disappointing though) and the stemmed broccoli (really good). Everything else was "ok". The bartender here was fascinating to watch. She very slowly made every drink, very slowly, and put loving care into each and every one she made. I tried one after we'd noticed her attention to detail and it was excellent. :)

We love good pizza, and even on a trip where we're focusing on local cuisine, if good pizza is available, we're willing to forego a meal of local culture to put it in our mouths. Black Isle Bar is located on Church Street, in the main couple of blocks stretch of bars and restaurants in the heart of Inverness. After a day out exploring Speyside whiskies, it was exactly what we needed for dinner. You order at the counter and find a table where they will deliver your food. The pizza menu has a handful of good vegetarian options, and there are plenty of beers on tap. My wife and I shared the Broccoli and Stilton pizza...It had a good, light, and chewy crust and overall good flavor, though I didn't taste much of the honey listed as one of the ingredients. We also shared a salad, which was quite fresh. They've got a nice rooftop garden-like seating area too (though it was too cold for us Californians to enjoy that space) Great pizza in a lively atmosphere with very friendly service. We'd definitely get it again if we were in Inverness.
