Bishops Table Restaurant @ Eden Court Theatre in Highland

No food on offer other than crisps, ice cream and a meagre offering of cake, shocked as we were there for a 1pm show and had travelled over an hour thinking we would be fine for lunch at the theatre. Staff were fine, no hint of getting things done in a timely fashion and not much interaction with customers. Decor is depressing, such a big space makes it cold and echoey. Just no atmosphere whatsoever. Very disappointed and won't be back.

My friend and myself attended Eden Court forthe ballet, we decided to have a light bite before the Ballet, we ordered a cheese and ham toastie and a chicken tikka toastie and 2 portions of skinny fries we waited for over 1 hr fir someone to then tell us the kitchen had ran out of ham, the chips came then 10 minutes later the said toasties came half filled and really not the best with some rather limp salad chaos far too busy no organisation a shame as could be amazing if organised needs looking at won’t be back!!

With no table service, you now have to queue at the bar, which can be a lengthy wait. This could easily be solved by having a designated order area away from the bar. However it’s not as long as the time you have to wait to actually get your food! From an extremely limited menu it shouldn’t be difficult to get the orders out timeously. However we had to wait over half an hour for someone to come and tell us they had run out of an item we had ordered and paid for and then a further half an hour for it to arrive at our table. So for 2 toasties and skinny fries it took them over an hour. The staff are clearly used to this as mumbled apologies were given. The toasties themselves were also bad, flat as pancakes and all I am say is the filling must have heard out as you struggled to identify and cheese in one! The tables were also filthy, with previous occupants plates and split items over them. In a nutshell just go and enjoy the show and avoid eating in the ‘restaurant’.

True the menu is pretty much limited to soup, cakes and hot drinks for the time being. However, as a tour guide, I’ve been a frequent visitor over the summer season while my tour group are off shopping in the city. I’ve had consistently good service from several different staff members over the past few months - always cheery and engaging and giving off the vibe that it’s a good place to work. The Indonesian Chickpea soup is reason enough to return but the cakes are also very good. I also enjoyed a live performance one Sunday afternoon at the Under Canvas venue which was a great way to pass a couple of hours. However the real reason for feeling compelled to write a glowing review is the ambience and customer service from a very welcoming team. Well done to all the

Our party of seven arrived for a pre performance lunch, expecting at the very least a soup and sandwich combo. Soup was on offer but only with various types of crisps, and the other lunch option was hot drinks and cakes. There seems to be a much reduced catering operation in place now, which seems a shame bearing in mind the popularity of Eden Court Theatre.

Checked the menu before coming along to a show. Arrived at 18.05. advised all that was left was soup and chips. Whilst tables with people eating bowls of chips might appeal to those with a Monty python persuasion, it is incredibly annoying for those that have driven over 100 miles to come to a show. 2hrs between lunch and evening and they couldn't restock. Then advised not to order the West lager for the interval as likely to run out. Not a great advert for the purchasing team. How hard can it be? Ok, it was a sunny day. We do occasionally get those. It was crying out for some outdoor pop up options but these were apparently earlier in the month. So we walked back to the excellent pizza van parked 10 mins away at the side of the River Ness. Friendly service, and apologetic over lack of options. Soup was nice however!!!

Soup and sandwich ordered. Tuna on brown bread. Soup came with a mountain of white bread soup was delicious though. Sandwich was a toasted tuna panini returned to the kitchen to come out with a white pathetic sandwich. Sorry no brown bread is that ok but as I wasn’t happy I was told I shouldn’t have been offered a sandwich anyway. Offered a refund but decided to scrape the tuna off and eat it with the salad. I also had a chocolate eclair that had horrid fake cream. There are no menus on the table to look at. £15 for that was disappointing. Maybe they are having a bad day. A nun “obviously from the show” was cooking not hygienic to say the least.

Only does soup and sandwiches now !!!!! I think they had problems and post vovid debt so may be trying to cut back

The restaurant at Eden Court used to be excellent - it matched the theatre’s status as the premier cultural venue in the highlands. The menu is now much reduced and dumbed down - essentially fish nuggets, pizza or macaroni- ideal for a primary school birthday party. The food is served well and the staff are friendly. We will be back to the bar, cinema and theatre. We will not be back to the restaurant unless it changes.

The theatre has a much reduced menu now, presumably due to Covid. A pre-visit online check showed it was down to more or less pizza, chips and nacho options for dinner. In the event by 6.00pm on the night, the pizza option was off so it was chips or nachos for a Saturday dinner out at the Highland's prime cultural venue. What a disappointment. We noted Canadian, Norwegian and French tourists among the many locals who left to look elsewhere. There were no napkins available and we were unfortunate that our chip order went to other customers because there were duplicate tables with the same number! (How is that even possible?) The staff were good in the circumstances. The chips, the tea and coffee were good. The management - clearly incompetent. The theatre programme has recovered from the pandemic. The dining arrangements haven't.

Decided to pop along for pizzas at the under canvas tent in the grounds of Eden Court. Wood fired pizza ovens and although the pizzas took a wee while to arrive, they were well worth waiting for. DJ playing, fantastic atmosphere, great for families, staff within the area really warm and welcoming. A fantastic concept, just what Inverness needs.

My friend and I received the wrong order at lunch. We didn't want to waste the food so said we would keep our plates but wanted a refund. The manager said it wasn't possible so took our food away to replace. Waste of food and his attitude was awful -spoke to us as though we were at fault. The food we eventually received was average at best. Definitely not going back........

Tables were sticky. Staff member wiped it again and told us it was a badly done varnishing job during lockdown. We were so looking forward to a lunch with friends we hadn't seen since lockdown began in March 2020. We all knew that Eden Court had a good menu and nice aspect. How wrong we were. There was a choice of soup or cullen skink then a sandwich, baguette or salad. The food was okay, but not what we had wanted - a quality lunch in a quality environment. It was a disgrace, really and the cups of tea weren't full and the latte was served with no finesse whatsoever. WILL NEVER RETURN.

On a day when we did a walking tour of Inverness, we stopped in here for a quick lunch. The Cullen Skink was good as was the Salmon Salad. Service was so-so. Easy and convenient but not really memorable.

Booked dinner pre-show but on arrival told that only "light bites" menu available as only one chef on! No time to find somewhere else to have dinner so chose items off light bites menu. What we had was quite good but we didn't expect to have just soup/sandwiches for dinner! Very disappointed and won't rush back.

There were so many dishes crossed out with felt-pen on the menu, it looked like it had been censored. Staff were friendly but pretty disorganised. Food was terrible. Stodgy and overcooked. This restaurant used to be good….I won’t be visiting again.

Went for lunch, £8 for bit of warmed bread. Told by staff including chef that’s how it’s served Staffed by kids with no concept of customer service. Value for money: NO Return: NO If seeing a show eat before you go!! Overpriced and poor quality, no effort or care.

Had a really lovely lunch out with family. Menu choices were good for all ages. Staff were really welcoming and easily got us a high chair and puzzle bag for older son. Food came quickly and was really tasty. Bit of a queue at the bar but staff were friendly and efficient. Looking forward to our next visit.

In for a meal before a show and booked a table in advance - there was no need as only one other couple was dining there. Arrived on time, the restaurant was spartan and not very welcoming. No one to welcome us but a sign said 'find a table and order at the bar'. Had to go to the bar to find a menu as there were none on the table. In fact, there was nothing on the tables.Decided on Fish and Chips and the Beefburger. Back to the bar to order where one out of four staff behind the bar were working with customers. When two of the staff finished their chat I was asked what I would like. I said I'd like to order food at which point she said I had to go to the other end of the bar (there were no signs indicating this). I went with her to the other end and placed my order and also ordered drinks. Cutlery and napkins were given to me in a metal container (mini bucket) along with a wooden spoon with a number. It wasn't long to wait for the food to be delivered - the waiter was courteous, friendly and efficient. He asked if we needed anything else and said there was salt and pepper in the bucket (there wasn't). He came back with salt, pepper and other condiments.The fish was of a good size and the taste was good. The beef burger was ok but the lettuce limp and wet, the slaw (in a small dish) had clearly been sitting out for some time as it had gone slightly hard on top, and the 'chunky chips' were like the cheap frozen budget ones from a supermarket - certainly not fresh cut.This used to be a good restaurant but is now poor and very bad value for money. I will eat elsewhere before a show in future as this was nowhere near good value at around £30.

Visited with my wife on a Friday evening. Great place for a quiet meal, good place to talk. The food is good - would give many of the local restaurants a run for their money! Service good too - worth a visit.

Asistí al restaurante bar para pre mordisco ligero. Un servicio realmente rápido, tenía goujons de eglefino para empezar y compartí un plato principal de gambas con mi esposo. Encantador y sabroso, el único punto negativo es que servían entrante y plato principal al mismo tiempo, así que el plato principal era bastante bueno para cuando lo comimos.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat at lunch time, great vibe and exceptional service! We all enjoyed our meals and the coffee was tip top. Haley are server, was super friendly and attentive! Would definitely recommend!

Este lugar definitivamente podría hacer con un cambio de imagen. Se ve monótono y anticuado. No es una buena impresión para llevar.El restaurante estaba tranquilo dado que era el 2 de enero y no estaba cerca de ningún momento de actuación de panto.Elección razonable para un almuerzo rápido. Ambos tuvimos sopas y sándwiches. Estaba sabroso y servido razonablemente rápido y con un servicio amable.Mi culpa es la anterior, Place necesita urgentemente una modernización y decoración.

Came here for lunch. We ate in the bar/snack bar. Plenty choice on the menu for lighter snacks, bigger meals or coffee and cakes. Caters for all. We had the Aberdeen Angus burger and BLT. Both very tasty and very generous portion size. We will be back, and would recommend to all.

Almuerzo muy tarde pero no hay problema en conseguir comida. Varios de nosotros optamos por pescado y patatas fritas. Abadejo fresco blanco encantador. El personal bien servido y agradable, aunque un poco descuidado con uno de los miembros del grupo que no recibió todo lo que se ordenó. Wee puso demasiado énfasis en que no se le haya cobrado.Así que la comida muy buena, el servicio de mesa es bueno, pero eso se deslizó y la forma en que se manejó no es tan buena. No es el entorno más atractivo tampoco

Muy buena comida. Nunca me ha decepcionado con las comidas y bebidas que he ordenado aquí. El personal siempre está sonriendo, lo que se suma a la atmósfera positiva y emocionante de Eden Court. Lo único que me gustaría ver más es las opciones vegetarianas y veganas en el menú. ¡Las papas gruesas son mi artículo favorito del menú!

Comida encantadora con mi esposa y amigos, aparte del hecho de que uno de los filetes no es comestible debido a que es básicamente todo gordo y grisel.

Tercer intento en dos días para tomar un café en lo que suele ser una gran cafetería en el teatro. Ayer y antes de hoy se hizo cola todo el camino hasta la taquilla y, finalmente, no es una cola demasiado larga esta tarde. La misma conferencia que causó las colas ha hecho que el servicio que normalmente es excelente esté por debajo del personal que no espera hasta que la persona anterior haya guardado su cambio y haya tenido la oportunidad de asistir antes de preguntar sobre la orden de las siguientes personas. mucho peor que a los clientes que se alojan se les niega una taza adecuada para su café y se les dice que es debido a xpo north. Si me hubieran dicho en la cola que tendría que beber de un vaso de papel, habría ido a otro lado. Muy decepcionante desde un lugar que normalmente es de un estándar muy alto. Las normas no deben deslizarse debido a otros eventos en el edificio.

We really enjoy visits to this restaurant, particularly when going to see the opera or ballet at the theatre. The menu is regularly changed and very high quality. The staff are all very friendly an professional and it's a great atmosphere.

Reservamos aquí para el almuerzo antes de un espectáculo matinal en el teatro Eden Court. El servicio fue de primera clase y la camarera fue muy servicial y amable. El menú tenía una buena selección y tenía un precio razonable. La comida estaba bien presentada, sabrosa y las raciones eran generosas para decir lo menos. En general, muy impresionado y volveremos.

Four adults for leisurely lunch, each one having some thing different and completely satisfied. As mentioned elsewhere, great Cullen skink with very fresh rustic bread, main courses more than adequate and tasty, three deserts that were shared around, followed by good coffee and a reasonably priced bottle of wine shared by two. Altogether a very good lunch. The lady waiting on the table could not have been more helpful and pleasant.

Good food, if you go for burger make sure you are very hungry. Would have done two of us. Service good. But could do with more places to sit in cafe/bar area.

When my partner and I walked there was no member off staff. Until 1 member off staff who didn't work at the restaurant she was great. She got a member of staff from the restaurant. She was ok. When we started eating she disappeared again for quite some time. Then a Male member of staff joined her behind the counter for a while that was fine. We felt empty and ignored. There was another female member off staff joined eventually. She asked my partner is that your friend? My partner is in a wheelchair he thought that asking that question was patronizing.

Had two lunches here and really enjoyed both of them. Staff gave us an accurate indication of how long our meals would take to serve. This was helpful as we were heading for the airport after the meal.

Mesa reservada: el restaurante estaba muy frío y los clientes tenían que dejar los abrigos puestos. !

Great food great value for money and handy for theatre wine good and goodcselection on the menu I had macaroni last

Reservado para una comida antes del teatro. Tuvo que esperar unos 5 minutos para que nos sentaran, ya que no había personal alrededor. Luego nos sirvieron 3 camareras diferentes, todas las cuales no pudieron traer la jarra de agua solicitada. El pan de cortesía llegó al mismo tiempo que nuestro plato principal. La comida estaba bien, pero no tenemos ganas de volver. La decoración es un tanto lúgubre y el lugar no tiene ambiente, lo que no sorprende que estuviera casi vacío un sábado por la noche cuando hay una gran cantidad de excelentes restaurantes cerca.

We thought we would make use of the restaurant prior to viewing the film, however, although the meal was very acceptable and the service was the same the over atmosphere seemed very 'clinical', if that is the way to describe an eatery. Functional, but not really welcoming

Quick bite before the Mystery Movie we were pleasantly surprised. Best burger I've had in ages. Staff were very attentive 😁

Cafe Lunch for 3 adults - lovely location, great soup and service but the bread was “tired” and the table surfaces could be cleaner. Smarten up on these - they’re easy to fix - and the place would be 5*

Somos visitantes frecuentes a Eden Court y en esta ocasión fue a visitar el cine. Llegamos 45 minutos antes de la proyección y no había nadie esperando en el punto de servicio, así que pedir, bebidas gaseosas y dos cuencos de patatas fritas. Nos sentamos en una mesa y esperamos y esperamos y vimos como otros clientes que ordenados después de nosotros comenzó a ser servida su comida. Nos preguntamos por qué todavía estábamos esperando a que nos dijeran las patatas estaban en su camino. Las patatas fritas nunca llegó y pedimos un reembolso como necesitábamos para entrar en el cine. Esto fue suficientemente decepcionante, pero a poca distancia de la barra he recurrido a presenciar los dos miembros del personal despreciativos y riendo de nosotros. No es aceptable la conducta, muy molesto y completamente innecesario.

Booked the restaurant ahead of our visit, then found that there was nothing to our liking on the fairly restricted menu, Had food from the bar but it was disappointing, the foyer area is dull.

As they say, it is all relative! This has to be one of the very best places to eat if you consider also it's location, ie, booked a show at the Theatre? Eat and go, easy. Also, the river (quiet part!) is just over the road. The staff are friendly, the food is good if not "great" but , as I said, it is all relative.

Had a nice lunch outside in the glorious sunshine. Lovely spacious open area, certainly worth a visit, very busy. Menu rather limited, not much of a selection and service rather slow. Inside the restaurant was rather dull could do with more lighting. Too many doors, could be better designed.

I had a bar snack of a burger and chips which i really didn't want but there was no healthier option on offer like a baked potato or a salad that i could choose from! There was a lot of other alternatives but none were healthy I don't want to be picky but it would of been nice to have a choice i did ask if there was anything but didn't find the person behind the bar very helpful

Fuimos para una comida pre-teatro y aunque habíamos reservado el servicio nos pareció un poco decepcionante. Había retrasos y liquidación con el pedido, el especiales entre campos que no estaban disponibles no había sido destituido de la junta. La comida era deliciosa, y mi marido tenía venado tenía el hígado, ambos estaban perfectamente cocinada. Los postres eran igual era preciosa, sin embargo, la orden de mi marido y él fue malinterpretado el postre servido mal. Fue reemplazado muy rápidamente y no cobraron. En general, el servicio podría mejorarse, pero la comida era deliciosa.

Mi esposa y yo en nuestra primera visita a Inverness y - durante nuestra estancia en el Glenmoriston Town House Hotel (ver crítica aparte) - tuvimos la suerte de encontrar el centro de entretenimiento de Eden House se encuentra en la orilla opuesta del río Ness.

We recently enjoyed a pleasant pre theatre meal at Eden Court Theatre Restaurant. The menu was somewhat limited but offered some tasty and interesting choices. One of my daughters particularly enjoyed the fish curry. The service was excellent. A pre theatre meal is a relaxing experience. We shall book again.

Had a snack meal before attending an evening show. The menu was limited but the burger was tasty and served reasonably quickly. However the pre-packed sandwich was dry and tasteless. The biggest problem with this cafe bar is that it is cold and draughty and the furniture is tired and needs replaced. It has no atmosphere and resembles a station waiting room!

As we were in the middle of the coldest spell of weather for many years we decided to book a table at the Eden Court Restaurant to minimise exposure to the elements. We had not eaten there before but having looked at the menu online it read well if somewhat limited for choice. We duly arrived and were given a friendly welcome and showed to our table. Drinks were served and food ordered by 6pm but it had not arrived by 6.30pm when I attracted the waitress 's attention. She apologised and set off to find out what had happened. She returned very quickly and said that our order was on its way - she reiterated how sorry they were for the mix up and said there would be a reduction in the bill by way of compensation. The restaurant was busy but, given their in theatre location, they must be used to having to service people within a finite time scale as most diners will be going on to the theatre at a specific time. That said, things can go wrong in all walks of life for a multitude of reasons and how the party responsible deals with rectifying an error can make all the difference. In this case, when the shortfall in their service standards was pointed out their reaction was swift and their behaviour exemplary. So much so that I would still highly recommend this eatery not least because the food when it arrived was excellent being both well cooked and presented. Very tasty!

I have been here several times now, prior to attending a film at Eden Court. It is so nice to relax over good food before one then makes one's way into the cinema.

Came here for some food before a show and have to say I have never had to keep my jacket on while in a restaurant before it was like one of those trendy ice bars minus the trendy, the temperature might explain the miserable looking staff at both the bar and waiting staff not to mention the headless manager that was on thankfully the food was better than I thought it was going to be we both went straight to mains as there wasn’t anything that grabbed us on the starters I had the venison which was nice and pink and the veg still had a nice bite to it my wife went with the cod special which she said was creamy and well cooked we were going to have desserts but it took the “cheery” waitress too long to clear our plates the managers here need to spend some time on the training rather than being on their mobile phones in the middle of the restaurant

After a lovely but cold walk along the riverside we called into Eden Court Cafe for a warming bowl of soup. We selected “lentil and ham” however when it finally did arrive, we had to ask for bread, then could not eat it as it was way too salty, not that hot, and you would think that given the name, it would actually contain lentils, but alas I couldn’t find any. Also at £4.50 per very small portion, to top it all the bread was stale. Very bad show, we won’t be back.

We went for a bite to eat in the bar & were served by a member of staff who either forgot or has never learned to say hello please or thank you or raised even a slight smile....I was wanting to ask if any if the pastry rolls were veggie but opted out as we seemed to b an inconvenience. Really I left n felt pretty disgusted at the service & wont b back! Chips were really greasy n bread with soup was stale.

Went here for the 1st time to celebrate my birthday with family. The menu was quite small but there was something for everyone my starter was a brie quiche and it was delicious, 2 of us had the nut roast and roasted veg and it was good the other 2 had gnocchi but found it to salty and there was to much of it and the salad just consisted of a few wilted rocket leaves should have served salad in a separate dish and with more salad ingredients but the sauce was quite nice. The deserts were ok but very sweet. I also found the prices quite high.

Having failed to book a table for the restaurant we arrived to find it full so opted for the cafe...

Ubicación ideal para un almuerzo con los nietos antes de Panto en Navidad. Opción de festivo y encantador en el menú para niños

Im Theater muss man sich erst mal zurecht finden, denn man kann im Bistro oder im Restaurant essen. Im Restaurant...

We stopped off for Lunch at the cafe part of Eden Court earlier this week. There was a reasonably varied range of dining options and we had no complaints with the food or service. However the seating area looks very tired and the tables and chairs could do with upgrading.

This restaurant would grace any town or city. Its food is always delicious and well presented and the staff run it with wonderful courteous efficiency. Really recommended.

Good service.well cooked food and very good toffee sticky pudding set us up well for a oerfornace of the Million Dollar quartet.The restaurant was quiet but did not feel empty though the restaurant does feel a bit like a corner space near the foyer ,but that is inevitable as it is a theatre restaurant and did not distract from our enjoyment.A good place to dine without the worry of not being at the theatre on time,

The staff were friendly, and the service good. The food was also fine. The menu is rather restrictive, and there should be more choice, especially for the main course. Drinks are expensive. The overall price of the meal with drinks, was on the high side, and there are better value quality restaurants in Inverness. Lacks atmosphere.

Lugar fantástico, la comida y las cosas, sin embargo, la mujer detrás de la barra de tomar la orden de café de la pareja en frente de nosotros estaba completamente miserable y me contestaron mal con ellos sobre el tipo de café que queríamos, que era totalmente innecesarias - continuó ser desagradable para otros clientes. Por el contrario, el caballero que nos servía era muy agradable y amable.

Mis padres fuimos una comida después de un largo viaje en tren. Todo lo que se ofrecen en el bar era hamburguesas, hotdogs, alitas de pollo, etc. Casi todos dejaron de su comida, ya que era tan mala que tuvimos que comprar bocadillos fuera de un supermercado para llevar a su habitación de hotel, ya que aún estaban hambrientos. Son pensionistas. No hay excusa que sirve comida "tan mala" a la gente.

Saturday evening just before 7.30pm, crowds waiting to go into the theatre but the restaurant almost empty. If staff are exhausted from the pre-theatre rush, then perhaps the restaurant should close at that point? As a solo traveller, I am accustomed to receiving lesser service than large parties - it's a fact of life! After being shown to a table and given a menu, I was effectively abandoned by the waiter who didn't even ask if I would like a drink. I had to attract the attention of a waitress who took my food order but still didn't ask if I would like a drink. When she brought me a single piece of bread & butter in a basket, I asked for a glass of white wine. Monosyllabic 'small' or 'large' was the extent of the conversation! The cod dish was tasty but fish overcooked and underseasoned. I didn't linger for pudding. When I went over to pay, the waitress finally smiled and spoke a few words. Too little far too late and no tip I'm afraid.

Went for lunch prior to "Were going on a Bear hunt" Ate from a bar menu as restaurant didn't open until past 12 (I sat and waited for service & nothing happened) my complaint is about the warm salad that I ordered, when it arrived it had a thin slice of cucumber cut in half, wilted so not fresh, The black pudding was from the last remaining end of the "sausage" could tell by the shape, it was tasteless, ham also wasn't pleasant. I will make sure next time I attend the theatre I will dine else where.

Been to Eden Court loads of times and food was good. This time a big let down. Menu was very pretentious, my daughter is fussy so asked for steak for her (she is an adult) but all she could get was burger from bar menu. There were 5 of us and 3 had the chicken, meal was really bland no flavour at all. I ended up having half my daughters burger. 1 person really enjoyed their meal. Only good thing for me was they had a nice prosecco

We had a much happier dining experience than our previous visit to Eden Court Restaurant.Friendly service, a nicely presented meal which was most enjoyable, our only minor criticism was there was not a huge choice of main courses on the menu.

Dropped in for lunch as it was a convenient place to meet. The atmosphere and decor is good and the view from the large windows over the lawn and across the River Ness - a great setting. We were quickly shown to our table and left to peruse the menu. A good choice was offered from lighter dishes to more filling alternatives. My college chose the haddock and chips and I opted for the falafel burger. Both were very good and the service was quick but not hurried - perfect for a business lunch.

We had an excellent meal a month ago before the show, so booked for 30th April pre show. The menu lacked inspiration, service was poor, had to request a jug of water twice, and the food was bland, we wont be back.

Ordered coffee but was only offered a paper cup. When I queried this, they said they had run out of proper cups. Looking around the restaurant and most people seemed to be drinking out of paper cups. Why don't you just order more coffee cups? There was no reduction in price for being served essentially takeaway coffee. They poured the coffee from a percolator into the paper cups and it was absolutely vile. I honestly would have got a better coffee if I had stopped by MacDonalds on the way to Eden Court. Really wish they would up their game.

Popped in for lunch on Sat 18th. My wife had the quiche special (under £6) whilst I had scampi (under £9). I have to say it was so good. Also the young waitress was excellent, full of personality as was the young waiter. Do try it.

Spacious location with view of River Ness. Gorgeous fresh braised beef. Extra veg supplied at low cost. Attentive service.

6 friends chose to eat at the Eden court restaurant from the very beginning the waitress service service was poor. Her attitude manner was not to a high standard and appeared to be rude at times. Took 20 minutes after she took our drinks order, to get them even when reminder her and surrounding tables that she was dealing with got theirs. She cleared some of our plates before we were all finished. After our pudding she never asked if we wanted coffees if everything was ok. One of the girls does not like mushrooms and asked if she could have the dish without a big fuss was made by her and then she asked if allergic basically no but only way to have dish without this ingredient. Not very accommodating!!!!! Food was lovely, expensive for what we had but all enjoyed it. The service certainly needs to improve as they have lots of competition in the area. Won't be back in a rush !!

Service slow with queues even on normal day lunchtime and always very busy on show nights, but food very good quality if a bit pricey - excellent chips and cakes usually!

We had a bite to eat yesterday. There were a large selections of starters, mains, deserts, paints, and baked potatoes. A very filling, hearty lunch with very helpful staff

My husband and I booked a table before seeing Hansel and Gretel last Saturday. The only time we could have was 5-30, as it turned out this was a blessing.We arrived just before 5-30 and were show to our table immediately and given our menus and drink orders taken by a very pleasant waitress.So good so far! 15 mins later we got our drinks but it was another 15 mins before our order was taken. Our starters didn't take too long to arrive and were very pleasant but then the LONG wait! Eventually a waitress came over and apologised ( we hadn't complained ) and said she had spoken to the kitchen. She said we could have a complimentary drink to take into the Theatre. Our meals arrived but were served on cold plates and the food was luke warm.Full marks to the waiting staff but they are badly let down by the kitchen.We didn't want a pudding but had we done so I doubt if they would have arrived before curtain up. We took our seats at 7-20 for a 7-30 show. Not good enough Eden Court.

Bog standard service and food. Very noisy from theatre, pantomime and concert goers. Not comfortable. If you're going here then I suggest you eat elsewhere first. The harsh, angular design of the building makes it very uncomfortable acoustically. The staff can be quite pushy, bossy and not friendly, only some of them, some are ok. You might be entertained in the theatre but not, for me, in the atrium.

A table was booked for our annual Christmas lunch for 7 0f us. When we arrived today the table was not set despite it being booked, obviously an error had occurred. When we pointed out to them a booking had been made they checked their reservations and it had been marked in. Not a good start. Anyway, we were given three different menus and the one on line which we liked hence the booking, and was still on line yesterday, was not available now. A new one was produced at an increased price. The previous one was offering three courses for £18.00 but this new one had increased the price Considerably. When asked if we could have the new menu at the old price the waitress said No. We asked to speak to the Manager. He came and we explained the situation and he agreed to honour the original price. Well it took 2 hours exactly to serve 3 courses and not many folk in the restaurant. The starters were OK the mains were not great. My nut roast was dry and the others except one person who chose the beef were disappointed. What has happened to this restaurant, it's not what it was and I will not be returning again for a long time. Definitely not worth the money also it was so cold. My friend opposite had her jacket on her knees my other friend kept her coat on and I had to put my wrap over my legs. Such a shame as it used to be good.

We had an excellent dinner at Eden Court last night before a concert. The interesting saffron spiced bread was followed by scallops with Stornaway black pudding crumble and cauliflower purée.After that we had Barbary Duck breast with Savoy cabbage,pancetta and cardamom and fondant potatoes and chestnut and cognac jus,followed by mulled wine poached pear and stem ginger ice cream.Could not fault it .The house wines were an excellent choice and the service very competent.

Visited with the family for a pre-show meal. Opted for the Bar Menu wich was very good value for money. The Large chunky fries were excellent, pretty tasty burger as well.Only criticism is when I asked for mustard and ketchup for the table I received more mustard than ketchup in tiny little pots. With 2 children and myself having fries with their meals this was hardly enough to go round. You get bottles of vinegar so why not a larger amount of ketchup? When you pay £50 this will hardly impact on profits.

My wife and I visited but soon wished we hadn't. Due to the shape of Eden Court, the acoustics are sharp, brash and loud, making the dining experience very uncomfortable. There were lots of people queuing for different shows which didn't help. The food alas was average and didn't make up for the surroundings.

I've had several bad experiences with the restaurant at Eden Court now. Being treated like a major inconvenience and given poor service because I turned up half an hour before the end of lunch service and then at the weekend, taking my party of 7 there for lunch only to be told they couldn't seat a party of 7 despite the fact the restaurant was half empty. When I asked if they could seat two smaller tables, the waitress went to check with the kitchen but we were told no - we could eat in the bar area (which was crammed) but not in the restaurant. They clearly don't want our business and so I'll be happy to take it elsewhere.

What a down turn in the restaurant at Eden Court Theatre. All near by restaurants to the theatre were fully booked so we recently arranged to meet friends for a pre show meal at their restaurant. Service was un professional. Sadly we were not shown a specials board or told what they were which was disappointing as we discovered later the options were more appetising. Only three tables had guests and knowing how busy everywhere else was that evening i was surprised. On two further trips to the threatre I observed a near empty restaurant one night and a completely empty one the other. Quite a difference from the vibrant busy restaurant I enjoyed 6-12 months ago.

My Family and I visited Eden Court Restaurant for a lunchtime meal.I was pleasantly surprised by the portion sizes and reasonably priced dishes. I thoroughly recommend the burger, great quality meat and plenty of bacon/cheese and chips! Will definitely be popping by again for another burger!

We stopped for an early lunch at Eden Court's Restaurant. It was a nice setting for something different.We had two coffees and a salad each. The food was good...but not great as some things left it down. My battered halloumi chickpea salad was tasty but it would have benefitted from some green salad to bulk it up. The Stornaway black pudding and bacon salad was nice but the potatoes left it down (slightly undercooked). I would return but would probably opt for coffees and cake or try something else from the menu.

Visited the restaurant before going to Nathan Carter's show on the Saturday evening. Staff were really attentive and friendly especially for it being such a busy evening. Food was great couldn't fault it. Good prices too. Will definitely come here again if going to Eden Court, rather than finding somewhere in town to go first.

We recently tried lunch here,prior to the Knitfest event.The order was taken efficiently at the bar and arrived soon after.Well presented and tasty.Very good value for money too.

Lovely food and wine prior to an evening at Eden Court Theatre. Super range of food and excellent service

We recently tried the new lunch menu and were very pleased with the results.We had a normal burger and a falafal burger, both of which came with the most delicious wedge-style chips and salad. All the food was superb and it has a really nice interior, with comfy chairs and views across the grounds to the river Ness. Service was very friendly although it does take a little while for the food to arrive, presumably because it is freshly cooked. Nothing unreasonable though. The prices are good too, especially for what you get. Definitely recommended.

The restaurant is not big, but it is exceptionally spacious, with a decent menu, and is a great way to prepare for the show, whether theatre, cinema or concert. But beware that it gets busy, so you will need to book if the show is popular. Or why not just visit the restaurant anyway, while everyone else is at the show? Open to all, not just ticket-holders. And generally no need to pay to park in the Cathedral car park - behind Eden Court is a large car park, free out of office hours.

We have eaten here on a few occasions but not in the past couple of years. Having read some of the negative comments, we were a bit apprehensive but decided to try it anyway. The menu was first class! There were several starters and main course items we could have chosen. We both chose Benedict Royale which was absolutely scrumptious, followed by Salmon Encroute which was equally tasty.and piping hot!! Although the dessert menu was tempting, we could not manage any, which speaks volumes for portion sizes.Service was excellent by very pleasant staff. All in all a very pleasant experience and we will definitely be back!

We've eaten here so many times and used to enjoy that as part of our cinema/theatre trip. But things have changed so much in the past months: staff no's have been significantly cut back, meaning those left have to work really hard. Sadly, we have been left waiting to order for too long, or watched whilst tables seated after us are seen to first, once too many times now. Last visit we gave up waiting to be served and left. The traditional club sandwich is now off the lunch menu, and we're told chef won't make it for us (now a blue cheese option). Prices get ever higher, with way too many 'extra charge' items on the pricey supper menu. As others have commented, the eating area is alongside the entrance lobby and is soulless. It is sad to see how empty the restaurant is even for the popular shows these days. Seeing that, and reading TA reviews, clearly we are not the only regular customers to walk away. Inverness really needs the Eden Court and it is a sin that the integral restaurant is being so mismanaged as to possibly cause reluctance for customers (including those coming from further afield who will need to eat here) to want to come here at all, let alone it needing all the income it can get to continue functioning.

We went for a meal before our film. The restaurant was more or less empty despite being the height of summer and loads of tourists around with other restaurants nearby being busy. The restaurant was dowdy and soul-less. They could easily put flowers or candles on the tables and some plants around to brighten the place up. Anyway when we got the menu everything was expensive. Corn fed chicken was £16.95 etc. A haggis bonbon starter was £6.50 and it wasn't very good. My friend had the venison sausages which need a sharp knife to cut them and they were chewy. I didn't bother with a main course and settled for a starter and a desert of mango and mascarpone cheesecake (£6.95) which was pretty small and looked like it was bought rather than homemade. Surely Eden Court you can do better than this. Many other nearby restaurants do a pre theatre meal at an attractive rate but not the actual theatre itself. The only bright spot was the waitress who was friendly and efficient. If you are aiming for fine dining you are certainly missing the mark!

This was really good value with a delicious menu. The food was all fresh and piping hot. Exactly the sort of refreshment you need before a performance or a class. I recommend the potato wedges with anything or just on their own!

Prior to visiting the theatre for a show which coincidentally was fantastic,we though have dinner at Eden court,looked at menu online,had a rough idea what we would like,great value for money 2 courses for £20.00 or 3 courses for £25.00.Ideal nice meal,in location and show,No! On arrival greater by pleasant young staff, I asked where is the restaurant?here- as they show us to an area not unlike a school refectory,no table cloths,table mats,added decor on tables and really one A4 sheet of paper encased on plastic,great we were reassured to see it was the menu online and certainley were looking forward to it,i thoughtfully checked this menu is still the same deal as on your website,oh no you see we have a new chef now and he says no deals,I wasn't happy but ordered drinks,thinking maybe a mistake was made when our drinks arrived with a new waitress asked her,no there is no deals on she assured me,we Eden court are not responsible for what is put on that website,so new chef says gull prices.bemused luckily we had money.we ordered our mains and desserts.My steak at £24.95 I asked for medium was so rare in the middle I nearly cried,my homemade chips all 9 were tasty,my half tomato,one large mushroom and cress were burnt.The three onion rings were excellent,thank you!My fellow diners chicken supreme I had to remove the leg bone from and at near £17.00,the portion of pasta served with it and Parmesan biscuit were adequate.So to the starters well,puddings are always a success? No,my mango cheesecake was mango colour but could have been fromage frail,no taste,the raspberries all 7 were fresh and lovely,the three little dollops of mango nice,presented well but disappointing.My fellow diner had ordered cheeseboard,I mean how can that go wrong,oh yes it can,cheese,oatcakes,chutney,celery excellent.....but the grapes all 6 of them were frozen hard and nearly resulted in us having to go to an emergency dentist for remedial work.Waiter and waitresses excellent,location lovely,restaurant needs updating,website and Eden court need to update eachother,a very expensive mistake learnt,will not be advising others to attend.

I visited this restaurant last Saturday (6 August) with 3 other family members. We were looked after by a male waiter (cant remember his name) who was very attentive to our needs. The only complaint I and the other diners have was that courses were quite large but all food was fresh and hot and also well presented. One of the group wanted a fresh fruit salad which was not on the menu but she got this and was very happy with it. In my estimation the cost of the meal was reasonably priced and I would be happy to return to this venue another time.

. The food myself and my friend had was delicious , However it has really gotton very very expensive .. many high end restaraunt do not charge these exagerated prices .. sadly I won't be eating here again .. this was one of the nights I looked forward to .. Dinner and Cinema but alass that is now ruined ..

Dined there on Saturday before the show, we were shown to our seats and handed menus, there was no starter that my husband wanted so when our order was taken he opted for main & sweet, I ordered starter, main & sweet, I was half way through my starter when people arrived at the next table, a different waitress took them the menus and told them; in addition to what was on the menu there was also 2 home made soup starters and a Duck special main - we were not told this before we ordered, my husband would have had soup and I would have opted for the duck main. Food was good when it arrived just disappointing service and a hefty bill when you feel you got 2nd best choice as you did not have full menu options

Had been at Eden Court about a year ago for dinner and it had been awful, got the opportunity for a quick lunch so decided to try again.We were not disappointed we both had Cullen Skink a traditional soup made with smoked fish and it was delicious.Did not try anything else on the menu but the food coming out from the kitchen looked fresh and well presented.I would definitely go back!Service was quick and efficient Lovely
