   Nice quaint bistro, easy access from Inverness high street. Friendly service. Excellent food; we tried 3 dishes and all shared. Lovely presentation and amazing flavours. Highly recommend the Thai salmon/prawn curry. Couldn't decide on the best dessert as they were all so good. Lovely place for a wee treat or special occasion as well as just a ladies' lunch.

    Booked for lunch with 2 friends. We had expected to be able to order from Christmas menu, but were told this needs to be pre ordered...did not read anything about that on website, so disappointed. We all enjoyed the food however, everything ordered was of highest quality. Staff very welcoming, and service great.

    Has changed hands but the usual great service and food. New owners have some fresh ideas for the place which I'm sure will only add to what they already provide.

    This was a date day for my partner and I and also a celebration.... We were so looking forward to our chosen restaurant as had heard such good things. The restaurant itself is really lovely....cozy. Each member of staff were really nice - especially the younger female. We had chosen this restaurant having seen a Facebook post with their Christmas lunch menu and thought it sounded perfect. Sadly when we went, we were given a lunch menu. I asked if we could have the Christmas lunch menu and was told that it had to be pre ordered. We were pretty sad about that, as it's the only reason for choosing. Sadly there was nothing on the menu that I could eat apart from a burger - and I really didn't fancy it. I showed who I think was the manger, the post they had on Facebook, just to prove that it didn't state it was pre order.... He apologised. Sadly we had to leave because there was nothing I could eat and being a busy Saturday afternoon - everywhere was full. Such a shame.

    First time there and would go back; although may wait until spring as the restaurant was cold when we arrived and unfortunately the room didn't heat up.

    Food was excellent and they made a special dish for a picky eater. Only issue is parking — be aware that there is limited nighttime parking nearby—best bet is up the hill from the restaurant

    I'd been looking forward to coming here for quite a while as everytime I tried to book the place was full which always seemed like a positive, I just had to find a date to go myself, eventually we got the date. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and sat us at our table and didn't take long to take our drinks order. The menu itself was disappointing I knew it was going to be small but they had ran out of a few things such as the prawns and had run out of all the specials so that narrowed our choices down even further. When the food arrived it was presented beautifully and was tasty but I'm not sure wether I'd built it up in my head too much but sadly I was left rather disappointed, and I do feel this was my own fault for building it up so much. All in all though it was a pleasant night with good food and company and as I say the staff were lovely so I'd definitely recommend the place especially if you drop in on some nice specials and a slightly different menu you could be on to a winner!
