    We returned following previous experience when visiting Inverness. Great food and service. Even though the restaurant was extremely busy on a summer Saturday evening, we were not rushed at all. Excellent food and good selection of wines. We were also impressed by the “invisible” options that allowed donations to a local mental health charity.

    We were walking by the restaurant and saw the posted menu. Everything looked good and some great choices for a vegan family member too! So, I booked on Open Table. The food was really good. You must give it a try!!!

    We thought the restaurant looked quite nice but were disappointed to be placed at the very back just outside the toilets even though we’d booked several days in advance. There seemed to be plenty of tables up front but no explanation for this. I think if you order a meal with chips you’re ok. I ordered the ‘Asparagus,orzo and pea salad’ with extra chicken which had no asparagus in it at all, nor mint as advertised. I didn’t notice at first as the chicken was just slung on top but there was no way the person in the kitchen didn’t notice - it was just some orzo peas and random vegetables. Really disappointing. I would be embarrassed to serve that up at home. Why offer something like that if you can’t be bothered to do it properly

    Hi Claire Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear about the disappointment you felt during your visit, particularly regarding your seating and your meal. That’s far from the standard we aim to deliver. We always want our guests to feel looked after from the moment they arrive, and we regret that we fell short on this occasion. We’ll be reviewing your comments in regards to the salad with our kitchen team immediately to ensure it doesn’t happen again. It’s important to us that our dishes reflect what’s described and are presented with care. We truly value honest feedback like yours—it’s how we grow and improve—and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to show you the level of hospitality and quality we’re proud of.
