This review refers to Rocpool Restaurant near the Ness Bridge on the banks of the River Ness (as opposed to Rocpool Reserve which is hotel based and elsewhere in town). We ate here for the first time recently and were very pleasantly suprised. The food was just fantastic with some unusual combinations on the menu turning out to be absolutely... more

Visited Rocpool (1 Ness Walk, over the river from Inverness Castle) on a cold November Tuesday night. The restaurant was pretty full with a mix of locals and visitors taking advantage of the early evening pre-theatre menu, available until 6:45. I had the venison loin, which wasn't on the cheaper menu. The meat was top notch, perfectly cooked and delicious.... more

Having read the reviews of 'Rocpool' restaurant I realise that people must be mislead by what is written as there is no indication as to which place is being reviewed.

We've had many meals at Rocpool - both lunch and dinner - and have never been disappointed. The restaurant always has a great buzz and warm, attentive service from Stephen and his staff.

I have eaten at this restaurant many times and used to enjoy it but every time I go there it seems to be the same thing on the menu. Ie I dined here last September and again recently but found loads of dishes still on the menu. I read up on there menus frequently as I take a great interest... more

This is one of the worst cafe bars i have ever eaten in and that's exactly what it is! If you want to pay to be insulted then just go to the Rocpool restaurant.Certain members of staff need not only lessons in English, in manners but might just need a hearing aid.The food was average! Don't let the blinded local... more

As mentioned by someone else there is confusion as there are two places called Rocpool in Inverness. The restaurant I want to recommend is on 1 Ness Walk, by the river, not the hotel on Culduthel Road. We always visit Rocpool Restaurant if we're in Inverness, we love the food and the atmosphere. Some of the combinations suggested on the... more

this is right by the river and a very popular local restaurant. Fresh local produce with great service and a good central location. Book ahead! more
