    First time visiting and unfortunately wouldn’t rush back. Service was lovely and the venue nicely decorated but food wasn’t great. Expensive for what we had and not value for money compared to other Inverness restaurants

    Loved our meal last nite. Menu was superb and cocktail equally so. Staff were great and menu knowledge was fantastic. A great eating experience and wish we had one in Glasgow.

    I really like this place as it has a very friendly feel and the owner clearly made an effort with the decorations. Food is good, lots of Scottish recipes. We went on Saturday before Halloween and the kids got a bag with sweets and toy and were over the moon.
    Aye EatResponded on November 4, 2024
    Hi Anna, Thanks for the great review! We just finished our Halloween menu, and we were sure to giveaway lots of goodie bags to all the children who came in for our Halloween menu! Hope to see you again soon!

    Absolutely fantastic. Everything from start to finish was excellent. The service was spot on, the speed of service was excellent. I loved the recommended cocktail. The atmosphere and the decor I just loved. It's a great place to go to try hearty Scottish food. The only difficult thing to do was making a decision on what dish to have! I'll definitely have to come back and work my way through the menu, there's nothing I wouldn't have. Thanks so much. Inverness is a beautiful city but this place is the reason I'll be back to visit.. ❤️

    Nice restaurant with friendly and welcoming staff. Good food choice - the fish and chips was to die for, the crispiest batter I’ve ever had!
