Grain At The Corriegarth - Highland

We (3 dropped in to this restaurant shortly before 7.30 pm on a Monday night; we had not made a reservation. The manager said it would be 30 45 minutes before we could be served. We were prepared to wait and he gave us a menu. Shortly afterwards he suggested we have a drink while we waited, so we did. After a while, I went to him to tell him which mains we would like. He said it would be better to wait until they were ready to serve us another 5 minutes . I persuaded him to take note of our choices. Time passed....I wondered if we should try somewhere else, but one of our party is not very mobile, and we don 't know Inverness. A group of 5 or 6 men seemed to be waiting for their meals on the same basis. At 8.55 pm , an hour and a half after we first entered, our food arrived. The waitress apologised for the delay (the longest I have ever experienced in any eatery! . The manager also apologised, but said he did warn us there would be a delay. I suggested that he could have been more honest there 's a big difference between waiting 30 45 minutes and 90 minutes. Perhaps out of embarrassment, he deducted the price of one main course from the bill. We didn 't have any enthusiasm for more than one course. Rating: 2/5 We did get an apology, and the main ingredient in our meal was hot and well cooked, though the accompanying ingredients were rather miserly.

I hate to say anything bad about a place but..... Although we had booked a table and were seated promptly, they didn't take our food order for about 45 minutes. The place was clearly a local hangout so my family and I kind of stuck out. The cook's family seemed to be visiting that night as he left the kitchen area a few times to sit and talk with them. The food was mediocre. Overall the service was rather slow. There were two young ladies running the front including tending bar, taking and serving food orders, busing tables, completing transactions, etc. They seemed a bit frazzled by it all.

Most enjoyable fish and chips, and so pleased to a choice of small or large portion. We had one of each! Lovely home made chips. Very attentive manager and staff. Nice ambience, and they are dog friendly too ! Very reasonably priced. In the colder months they have a very welcoming wood burning stove. Do pop in if you are in the area, you won't be disapponted.

Overnight stay in Inverness, slight confusion with checking in, a little slow and was sent to a room which had not been cleaned, however this was quickly rectified and our room was lovely, clean and comfortable. We wanted a curry so dined out and it is steep walk back from town but thr bar was very nice on our return. Slept very well and breakfast was great so no complaints

In for dinner on a Sunday. Plenty folk in, but not packed, we'd pre booked and were seated promptly, drinks orders taken. Food orders taken and delivered promptly and accurately. Food was piping hot, very tasty and server was attentive for drink top ups etc all night. Been in a few times and found the service and food to be very consistent.
