    Genuinely one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to Inverness. The staff went above and beyond, even bringing out a small cake for my partner’s birthday. Food was amazing and staff were faultless, first time coming and definitely won’t be the last. Thanks so much!

    Positives - Lovely atmosphere super helpful, friendly and attentive staff, good price for rmthe pre-theatre meal. Negatives - The toast on my chicken toast starter was burnt (could hardly eat it and left most of it) and instead of curried cauliflower with my sea bass as on the menu, it came with carrots in the curry sauce (no cauliflower) disappointing, as it didn't go with it.
