"We had a reservation at the restaurant but upon arrival they took a while to find the booking. We had a window table overlooking the river although the dining area was a bit cramped as the conservatory was fractionally too narrow to allow free passage with waiting staff coming and going at a busy time. The waiter who served us was very good as was the waitress who brought us our wine, very personable. We we expecting the conventional menu so we're a bit disappointed when it was a restricted Sunday menu which wasn't clear on the website. We shared a mussels starter which was sublime. Complimentary fresh bread with an interesting homemade butter was served. The tarragon chicken with green beans and fries was flavoursome and light. The fish and chips were good with a very light, perfectly cooked batter. The dish also had peas and tartare sauce. We also had a Scottish cheeseboard, which was substantial to share and had a good selection of breads, crackers, celery, and grapes. There was pickle too, but we didn't try this as we aren't big fans of brown pickle. The dish was well presented on a wooden chopping board but was a tad cold from the fridge and could have benefitted from being left out a bit earlier to get to room temperature thereby enhancing the flavour and taste. When I asked about the name of one of the cheeses, the waiter very kindy brought out a whole cheese to show me its name and provenance (Old Smokey Isle of Kintyre). The service was attentive but not rushed. The menu had a choice of two or three course options for a set price, which represented great value for money. In the main, the restaurant was clean and had nice decor. We would definitely return to try the fuller menu. There are only a few quality restaurants in Inverness but this is certainly one of them and that mussel dish is a must!"

"Been meaning to go to the Store for a roast dinner for a while as i have eaten here before and the atmosphere, drinks and food have always been top. Unfortunately the roast dinner did not live up to expectations. The roast beef is 19£ in which you would expect it to be very high standard. We ordered all the sides as it was a girly get together and we had been looking forward to the roast for ages. To our surprise, the food came out pretty quick we ordered 2 x beef and 1 chicken. The beef had 1 slice of beef 2 potato 2 carrots some sort of small onion cabbage thing and 1 piece of broccoli and a dried out Yorkshire pudding FOR 19£!! I couldn't believe it, our sides then came out the cauliflower cheese had hardly any cheese or sauce, the pigs in blankets were burnt and some missing blankets, the stuffing was the only decent side. My other friends chicken then came out which looked like a better portion side but was unfortunately cold. She sent this straight back and believes that it was microwaved and given back to her so she refused it. Me and my other friend was so hungry we had no choice but to eat the food. We pulled this up with the waitress and if im honest she couldnt have been happier to help. They dealt with the situation very well. We was offered a discount on the food and extra roasties. I can say that when eatting the roast the gravy was good but the potatoes were not good and the lack of food on the plate for 19£ put an overall sore taste in our months. The way the staff handle the complaint was second to none so on this basis i will be returning to the restaurant just probably not order a roast. If the price wasnt so high there wouldnt be such high expectations. Maybe something to consider for the future."
