What a joy! Came here for lunch for my Mum's birthday and she (and I) were so uplifted by the warm welcome, the lovely waiter who guided us through the menu and gave us great recommendations -- with his cheeky smile and humour, and the wonderful food.You do Inverness proud. This is our new go-to eatery and drinkery. Can't wait to come back for the music too.Hi Sam, absolutely delighted to read this. We have a great team in the bar and reviews like this do so much to keep the spirits high! Hopefully see you soon!

Reviewed By ballard_n_s

Love love love this place, its rammed and people waiting to eat and I can now see why.What u see if what you get, there are no airs and graces but it's just perfect as it's full of locals and amazing atmosphere.Massive menu which makes it hard to pick what you want and they have amazing choices. The staff are lovely and run off their feet, if u sit a messy don't stress as its cleared quickly. We did not order the famous breakfast but it looked amazing. I ordered the seafood plater what an amazing meal it was packed full of taste and one of the biggest meals I've had in years. The food is cooked to order so expect a small wait even if it's a long it's well worth it. Husband had steak pie which was also massive, as for the chips they very chunky chips and yum.This is well worth a visit and right up our street, and if it's full of locals then you know it's good. Prices are great for what you get, you really can't go wrong coming here. Thanks comfort foods cafe I'm one happy bunny right now

Reviewed By Lindatee

We were in Inverness on a Monday night and it seemed that a lot of restaurants were closed.We crossed one of the pedestrian bridges over the river and found McBain's.What a lovely stylish place. We were early so we were able to enjoy the pre theatre menu - two courses but you can add a dessert. The food was fabulous and the staff were excellent.The menu was great value even if you miss the 'earlybird'.Suitable for couples, friends,solo but probably not for young children.'

Reviewed By William-Angela

Service was a bit hit and miss the day we went in but not altogether shambolic - I guess being next to the bus station they get a high turnover of customers and some want away quickly. Ordered the pastrami, gherkin sandwich expected a ‘reuben’ style but was a bit let down by the pastrami, gherkin and cheese ‘toastie’. The soup bowls are really big portions so careful ordering more on top of soup unless going for a combo. Lesson of the day - if it’s not a Reuben on the menu, it’s not a Reuben on the plate. My bad.....

The Star Inn

Reviewed By DennisLHopkins1

After a long 30-hour day of travel, and evening arrival, our B&B host recommended Star Inn. Simply superb! Wife had very substantial Veggie Tart Salad. Never had something so good and unique. I had macaroni bake. Great portion size, all homemade, glorious on a cool night. Located about 7 miles from Inverness airport. Get off beaten path and try this pub/restaurant. Reasonable prices, great service and food! Located in town of Ardersier.

Popped in here last Sunday for some drinks and a bite to eat. Found the drinks to be really good value for money as there was an offer on. Everything was well presented and the restaurant/bar was nice and clean. Food was good and without a huge wait. We were served by Kierian who was friendly, professional and efficient (as were other members of staff including the other girls who greeted and sat us/served us drinks).

On our most recent visit to Inverness in October 2019 we were able to enjoy having dinner twice in this magnificent restaurant. The service again was superb and all the meals were just wonderful. On the two nights, a Monday and a Wednesday, the restaurant was forced to hang a sign in the door stating “we are full”, primarily of local Inverness residents, and therefore could not take any more reservations. If this is not a recommendation for excellence, we can’t think of a better one.
