The combination of locals, squaddies & nurses can be explosive but it's handled well by the staff and the bad guys are quickly moved on.

This place is a "must do" if you're visiting the area. Why?…read more Food - Went with a party of 4. We all had something different. The Scottish salmon and Fish & Chips delivered, as expected. The balmoral chicken with haggis was top notch! We could have drank whisky sauce. The steak pie was fantastic! The gravy was deep and rich with the flakiest puff pastry on the planet. If you like sticky toffee pudding, this is the place to get it as it's to die for! Service - Our server was 16 years old and already a pro, aside from recommending liquor. She left that up to the bartender, Ryan, who was well-versed, friendly and entertaining. He totally enhanced our wonderful dining experience. Ambiance - The vibe is both classy and casual. Whether you're there in your fancy-wear or trail gear, you're welcomed. One of the people in our party (from Michigan/USA) said he'd make the trip all over again just for this meal experience. That speaks for itself and I agree! Just be sure to make a reservation.

I've tried a few dishes there and liked pretty much all of them apart from veggie quesadilla or burrito, can't remember, that was not really what I expected. All the rest really yummy! My husband is a fan too. They have fresh juices, their fresh lemonade with raspberry is deli! They are located just glued to Tesco Inverness and is very convenient going there before doing our groceries when we are hungry. We just haven't tried any of their desserts yet because we are always too full by the end of our meals, I'll try and save some room for it next time. Decoration is quite nice for a chain restaurant, very friendly service and lots of yummy food and drinks! Don't really need to say more, do I?

We each had a bacon roll and tea, which came in at £7.50 in total. Fairly averagely priced for what it was. The place itself had a bit of a nandos feel to it in its design, layout and decor. It serves alcohol and looked like it had a reasonably sized menu. I'm not sure who it's aimed at, as being in Tesco it's not the sort of place you'd necessarily go for an evening meal, and oddly it doesn't have toilets, you have to use the ones in Tesco.

It was a bit cold and drizzly so we were glad to be inside. It is cozy. The menu consists of about 10 dishes I would say. Ordered the 8oz. steak with garlic butter, with mushroom/tomato and chips as sides. Also ordered green beans. Also added on Cullen skink. Kids had gnocchi. Being a thin steak the cook ranged from medium well to medium rare in parts. Not like steak back in the states. I would say beef flavor came through but not enough seasoning. The vegetables and chips were very good. The Cullen skink was more stewy than soupy also it was locally made, this recipe had dill pickle bits in it. I thought it was good. I love how they love bread and butter in this country. The gnocchi was okay. Again just different from rye U.S. Service friendly and welcoming.

The World Cup Game was on so it was lively and fun. I will tell you, this was some of the best seasoned food we had the entire time we were in the UK (two weeks). Finally we didn't feel the need to add salt to something. The flavor was just spot on. My husband had the beer steak pie with puff pastry, I had the Cullen skink, my son had a pizza (I can't remember if it was on the kids' menu or not) and my daughter had a Caesar salad with chicken, which she eats a lot at home and had been craving. Both the skink and the stew were perfectly flavored! The fish in the stew was tender and so was the steak in the pie. If we ever go back to Inverness, we will be sure to be returning to Johnny Foxes. Oh! And our waiter was wonderful! I don't remember his name but a young blonde man with a mullet kind of haircut. Thank you to him!

We spent one of our 4 nights in town at Hootananny...It's a lively spot with a full restaurant and bar and good whiskey recommendations from the bartender. On this night, it was a jam, as opposed to a frontal performance...these jams you'll find throughout Scotland are really not performances, but musicians who gather together in the front of the venue, sitting in a circle, typically with a group of them with their backs to the audience, who play for each other, for the sheer and obvious love of the collaborative music. They ran through all kinds of traditional Scottish tunes, occasionally with instruments put aside to let a couple of them sing a cappella. It was a beautiful experience to watch "performers" immersing themselves in each other's music, with us, the audience, grateful, if not incidental, receivers of it. They've got a decent whisky selection too, and, as I found throughout Scotland, every bartender seemed knowledgeable in what was offered and willing to have a conversation to help guide you to what you might want to drink that night. (I had a Bunnahabain dram.) If you've got a few nights in town, this is one of the main 3 venues you should check out...the other two we experienced were more direct performances, also good, but to experience a musician's jam circle like this, is truly a wonderful and unique experience to have when in town.

Considering their reputation is on the music, it was perhaps better than I expected. Several good local beer choices on draft, though I wish they had something on cask. And of course many whisky choices, with good navigation. Service was friendly and not rushed, perfectly timed with the 1.5-hour table max.
