Good quality home cooked food. Tasty soup, fab langoustine, lovely interesting main courses with tasty sauces. No corkage and a fine place to go for a good meal out. If u r bored with Chinese, Indian and brake brothers food then go here. Owner and his wife (assumption) were lovely hosts and so nice for a change to be served... More

The owner of the B&B recommended this restaurant to us. She said not to be put off by the outside appearance and I am glad we didn't pass this by. The inside is charming and the food was excellent. Gus was a wonderful host and we loved his dry sense of humor. He has obviously been all over the world... More

We live just outside Inverness and have been well received guests of Gaby and Gus for a number of years. Gaby's cooking is to die for and Gus' dry humour and Orkney wit and wisdom are much appreciated. Tonight he was somewhat subdued as persons unknown had given him a couple of poor reviews on Trip Adviser claiming that he... More

Ordered the Haggis Neeps and tatties, and a raspberry cream desert. The food was well presented and tasted great but we didn't get anything out of the older man serving us. Didn't smile or anything, it was lunch time and we found the place on the way to Fort Augustus from Inverness.

Food was nice but nothing special . Service was odd , the older waiter had an unusual sense of humour , and was actually pretty rude ! The younger man however was lovely Such a shame as we pass here regularly but won't stop again .

Booked following a review of Tripadvisor. Easy to find only a few minutes from Inverness centre. Feels like you are eating in someone's kitchen but the food was really good and excellent value for money. If we are in Inverness again we will be making a return journey.

We went there twice because it was good. Gus the owner is a teasing but lovable owner. Took the venison, wasn't that impressed, however second time round took the Langustines and made my trip to Scotland worth it. Would have given it a 5. All my friends loved the food and desserts. Out of town, it is close to the... More

It was our wedding anniversary and we are working our way around the "better" restaurants in the Inverness area so we had to try the Oakwood. I read in one of the reviews it was "kitchsy" and I didn't understand what they meant until I went there. The same review also said "decor of the place was a little dated"... More
