    Overall experience was disappointing . Food was marginal. We had reservations at 5 next sitting st 6:30 which made us feel rushed and uncomfortable. The location of our table was close to the bathroom and back of the restaurant, even though there were empty tables around us. The music started at 6 and we had to leave by 6:30, didn’t have opportunity to enjoy the music. Our young female server was delightful and went above and beyond with her service . Would not recommend.

    Hi Heather, Im sorry you did not enjoy your visit, This is unusual as you can see from most reveiws people have a great time. Our toilets are on the first floor so im not sure how you were sat close to them as they are quite a trek from our bar area! We make it very clear at point the booking the turn around time for your table and and that you are booking is for the purpose of dinner. I can see from the seating list that you had a little longer than usual also. Every guest is reminded they are welcome to stay and drink in the bar after a meal. We provide the very best of entertainment with no cover charge - We pay alot for the music and we like every other small resturant the world round we need to flip tables in order to surrvive and provide this entertainment free 351 days a year!

    We had such an amazing dinner at Hootananny Inverness, and we were also lucky enough to have scored a room as well, which was clean, modern and comfortable. The food was great (my meal was one of the best I had during our whole vacation), and the entertainment was lively and authentic. I wish we had stayed an extra night!
