I ordered a salad to be shared according to the menu, but it was so small that there was not enough to share. My husband's steak was not worthy of the restaurant's name. My chocolate ice cream was nothing special. The ladies room had toilet paper strewn across the floor. It needed service. The waitresses gave good attention but it did not make up for the insufficiencies. When I went to past via credit card, I received a receipt that was totally blank as the machine was out of ink. This was a highly recommended place that was a great disappointment.

Stopped in here for take-out after a long day on a tour. I'd say the food was just ok. We had…read morevegetable spring rolls as a starter and those were good. Then we had Pad Thai and Pad See Eew as entrees and I'd say those were just ok. Part of the issue was that the noodles were pretty much sticking together and that might have been partly due to it being take-out. But then also from a flavor perspective, it wasn't what we were used to. We live in California and are fortunate to have many, very good Thai restaurants nearby. Or, maybe our taste profiles are skewed. But again, just not what we were expecting. Having said that, if you're craving Thai (or even Asian) food in Inverness, there aren't many options and this will certainly do the trick. Btw, the servers were very friendly and helpful.

Our choice of wine, Sancerre, was excellent. I ordered the scallop appetizer that was good, not great. The scallops were sweet, the sauce also good, but it was a bit overpowering for the scallops. Our mains included the seabass cooked in a tandoori style. The fish was good and flavorful, but the preparation dried the fish and in my opinion, did not enhance the flavor. The fish was accompanied by a combination of truly delicious vegetables-cauliflower, potatoes, broccolini. My wife chose the cod in a light creamy sauce, with gnocchi, pearl onions, peas and small clams. I think her dish was the superior selection. The food quality was first rate. I think the preparation of my dishes missed the mark a bit. It was late and we were tired, so we did not order either dessert or coffee or tea. It is a nice place with a great staff and ambiance. The quality of the food is absolutely superior, the preparation was not to the level of the food.

The restaurant was virtually empty when we arrived for an early dinner. They have an extensive menu of both Thai and Indian cuisine. We first ordered Chicken Satay and Vegetable Egg Rolls as starters. I ordered the Panama Curry with Chicken and a Chicken Coconut Soup. My wife ordered the Seafood Platter with Spicy Noodles. Both meals and starters were outstanding. The service was very friendly, helpful and attentive throughout our meal. We ordered what seemed a large quantity of food for a reasonable price. We would not hesitate to come back here again for a meal. #invernessthaifood #invernessindianfood

Word to the wise - get reservations in Inverness. We came our first night to the kitchen and they…read morewere fully booked so got in for a reservation on the second night. To start we went for the salmon gin cured appetizer with pickled radish and seaweed. This was a very good start to the meal and had really interesting flavors. I really appreciate and enjoy seeing what a chef can do with a vegetable and tonight was no different. The cabbage with potato and puréed carrot was my choice and wow was this good. The dare I say humble ingredients were elevated in a way that I felt really highlighted each vegetable. I all but licked my plate. My husband got the venison and after a dash of salt to lift the potato flavor a bit more to his taste, he also just about licked the plate clean. A few cocktails (tallisker old fashioned for him and Lost Scotsman for myself) added to the experience). Service was friendly and the view we had was looking out over the River. A really nice night all around.
