    We really liked the decor and the staff was friendly. The food was tasty though the portions small. For the amount you get a little pricey. We picked the White House as their on line menu listed giant prawns. In the US we call these popcorn shrimp-ver small and only a half dozen or so. At on line recommendations we made reservations and were made to pay a deposit. Rather silly as we were the only diners there when we arrived.

    My husband and I were able to get a table at peak dinner time without reservations, I had the Cullen skink gnocchi and didn't have any expectations since I never had fish or skink before. Tasty dish and I was not disappointed! Staff was friendly and helpful!

    Fantastic spot!! Very cool decor with impeccable service. I ordered the spiced vegetable tagine with couscous and it was amazing. I lived in Tangier for 2 years and I have not tasted an authentic Moroccan tagine like that in decades. Hug the chef for me!!! Very creative fun drinks too!!

    Affogato for dessert was lovely!

    A lovely spot to have dinner in Inverness!! It's an interesting menu with a variety of options. We had the flatbread/pita starter with various dips. Honestly, it was extremely average both in flavor and presentation. The sea bass was FANTASTIC. The fish was fresh and the flavors were bright. The affogato was very good and the ginger/pear crumble was one of the best I've ever had. However, the apple pie cream was unappetizing both in flavor and appearance (unnaturally green ice cream with a fake flavor that didn't pair well with the delicious crumble). Our waitress, Chloe, was sweet, but very unaware of the menu and oblivious to the needs of our table. She definitely needs more training. Overall, I would give this place 3.5 stars, but give it 4 due to the excellence of some of the dishes we had. It could easily be 5 stars with a few tweaks.

    Heavenly pork chops
    Moon D.

    We were shopping at the Victorian market and got hungry.. we wandered into this beautiful restaurant and .... what a great find! I had the winter vegetable soup which was delicious and hearty served with crusty bread and butter! My sweetheart had the maple glazed pork chops, seriously the best pork chops I've ever tasted. Tender and juicy . Our server frasier was superb. Attentive and knowledgeable. He brought us little extras like a taste sample of a local cheese we had wondered about and a couple extra gooseberries because they were delicious and we had no idea what they were! I highly recommend this place!!

    The Hake special
    Esther D.

    Great restaurant. Service very nice, excellent food and a very nice atmosphere. It's classy enough for a date night, casual enough for dinner after shopping or sightseeing. The macaroni & cheese was tasty. The Hake special was quite nice. I love the furniture and design.

    Happy with everything we ordered. Found the salmon risotto best. They should add more Gluten Free and Dairy free choices though.

    Service was awful. They let us sit waiting for at least 15 minutes before a waitress came over. Food was unremarkable.

    The Ivy Bar & Kitchen - Appetizer | Steak & Haggis Meatballs

    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
