“ What a fabulous place and meal! We ordered from the early evening menu and both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. The staff were so nice and friendly, with one hero rushing to my aid with a hot towel when I had a little sauce mishap! ”
“ Fab-u-lous Tonight we enjoyed a fabulous dinner at Rocpool. What a treat. Great welcome, amazing food, attentive friendly staff and a buzzing atmosphere. If you're in Inverness don't pass up the opportunity to dine here but book ahead. Steven and his brilliant, happy, motivated team are a breath of fresh air in a world where restaurants are really struggling to get staff and to retain them. ”
“ We had a wonderful dinner at Rocpool while visiting Inverness. Dinner reservations are a must here. The staff/service and food were all amazing. I split the crab and sweet corn soup with someone and the staff was nice enough to put it into two bowls for us (without us asking for it). For entrees, we had the duck, halibut, and venison, which we were told are the 3 best entrees and they were all delicious. For dessert, we tried the warm lemon meringue pie and twice baked chocolate mousse - again, both were great. I would highly recommend having a meal at Rocpool while in Inverness. ”
“ Had the most FABULOUS dinner at this spot with one of my best friends during our trip to Inverness. The food was all immaculate, service was leisurely and perfectly timed out, and the restaurant itself was cozy. I think it may have been the best halibut I’ve ever eaten. The complimentary bread was warm and fresh. Absolutely would recommend. ”
