Cafe One
75 Castle St, InvernessMy wife and I caught them on a bad night. Our service was inconsistent, at best. More frustrating for us - we watched three couples arrive after us, but get food service long before us. One of those couples was served dessert before we received our main courses. And we ordered the special. It took about 20 minutes after we finished dessert before we found a member of the wait staff to request our check. We waited another 10 minutes for someone to come by so we could actually pay the bill. Thoroughly frustrated, we walked our bill to the bar to pay. Despite all of the trials and tribulations with service, the food was excellent, and the setting is romantic. It's a beautiful restaurant.

Mcleod's Fish & Chips
29 Grant St, InvernessHaving seen some publicly around a recent award we decided to try them. Only a couple of people waiting ahead and had our order taken quickly. Not too long to wait for the order after that. A respectable chippy menu with some seldom seen classics such as Mock Chops and potato fritters. The Stornoway Black Pudding was the best I've had and the standard Hadock supper went down well with my wife.
Probably the fourth time visiting now; much busier, but still good food at a decent price (they even tell you which boat caught the fish for that day.) Another couple of visits, food still as good but the queue is out the door they're that well thought of.
Now running a well established monthly GF night (last Tuesday of the month?)

The White House
50 Union St, InvernessNice atmosphere and ambience. Staff always very friendly and attentive. Food was good - nice to see a menu that's not just pretty much the same as everywhere else - although ££8.50 for a Caprese salad starter which is half a tomato and a few slices of mozzarella does seem a little steep.
What really struck me though is the seat-pads were badly stained and the table sticky. A common issue where the tables are wiped with a cleaning spray but not properly cleaned. Layer after layer goes on until you get that thick sticky residue that's quite unpleasant.
A good restaurant overall but some simple changes would really improve things.Nice atmosphere and ambience.

Encore
5 Young St, InvernessI recommend it more for a bar, the food is only good, as it should taste but nothing spectacular, the service excellent and the atmosphere too, I loved the live music, what I liked least was the sticky toffee, the ice cream was very bad and the Pound cake did not feel fresh.

The Malt Room
34 Church St, InvernessSuch a precious find with a good range of whiskies from all over. The staff was knowledgeable and more than willing to share about everything whisky. His recommendations were all excellent and to our tastes. It's no wonder that it's popular with whisky lovers, and deservedly so.

The Walrus & Corkscrew
105 Church St, InvernessStumbled upon this gem while on a walk with my partner and dog. We were looking for some light dinner and drinks and this was perfect! They were extremely dog friendly and my pup even got some cheese!
The place is lovely, welcoming, and friendly. The food and drinks were great. We got the meat platter, a bottle of wine, a sherry flight, and a glass of sherry. The staff was extremely busy but they were so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Good Craic Cafe
41 High St, InvernessSmall joint downtown. Tried chili con carne which didn’t taste like it was supposed to, no spice, too watery, lacking flavor and small portion. Best part of the dish was the garlic bread. The toasties and full English breakfast were good however.

Urquhart's Restaurant
2 Young St, InvernessThe ribeye cooked medium was tough to chew. Hunter style chicken was good. No desserts. One glass of wine.
The server that interacted with us the most never smiled. Like G Miller said in the review 1 month ago, the overall experience was not "wow". Instead, it was "meh" and for the pricing, we wanted "wow".

Innes Bar
Shire, 61 Innes St, InvernessStopped in today after I remembered Steve Marsh had given the place a shout out.
I'm assuming it was the owner we met and he was super friendly and welcoming.
We opted for the BBQ burger and it was really great quality and value.
Definitely coming back!!! (soon)

McBain’s by the River
10 Bank St, InvernessI have quite a few fine dining experiences, and this is the best scallops I'VE EVER HAD! Crispy surface and tender center made a dynamic duo, and the purée add an incredible taste of warmth to it, amazing.
This was the first time I tasted venison and I'm impressed by how juicy and tasty it was.
I will definitely pay them a visit in the future.
BTW, if you're an Asian, you better skip the side dishes, 'cuz you'll be like too full for their tremendous dark chocolate nemesis, which would be such a shame to miss.

Salt’N’Fire
The, Victorian Mkt, Church St, InvernessOn a day with lots of travel delays and soulless airport food I eat in desperate need for something fresh and Salt 'N' Fire definitely delivered something different. Hard to pick from all the yummy options but the Aubergine wrap I settled on was huge, and tasty and an exquisite mix of soft roasted aubergine and lovely fresh crunchy ingredients. Just what I needed!

Glenmoriston Arms
Invermoriston, Inverness-shireOnly popped in for a drink but was warmly welcomed by the staff, including a treat and fuss for our dog. Drinks were reasonably priced and the menu looked inviting but we'd only popped in for a wee drink/dram. Warm atmosphere from the staff and decor.

Castle View Guest House Inverness
2a Ness Walk, InvernessWe loved the host. She couldn't have done more for us and her suggestions really added to our enjoyment of Inverness. Her breakfasts were hot, fresh and homemade. The location was perfect. 4 Star for room because it could have used a little more storage in room and space in bathroom

The Mustard Seed Restaurant
16 Fraser St, InvernessAmazing food - would definitely come back! We ordered the lamb shank (a daily special) and the venison and both were absolutely divine. We ordered some cocktails and whiskey and everything came quickly and was delicious. The service was very attentive and friendly.
The value for what you get is good but a tad on the expensive side.
Definitely book in advance!
