    I truly can’t say enough about how amazing this place was. First from our immediate greeting to the food the staff the drinks. And I’m not sure if our waiter whom’s name was Paul was the owner or not, but he was stellar. His camaraderie and personality drew us right in and made us feel right at home to the point that we wish we had stayed in Inverness another night so we would have been able to go back here for another dinner. Do not miss eating here if you happen to be in the area.
