The Auctioneers — Restaurant in Scotland

The whole experience was quite disappointing. I heard good things about this place however the experience was really bad.

Arrived at the pub 10 minutes early. At the entry the member of staff has told us "our table is taken hopefully we have another one for you". What is the point of booking a table to then be told someone else took and we have to find a table ourselves.

When we went to order drinks yet another disappointment. The beer was completely flat. When I asked the member of staff for a new one she looked at me as if I was stupid. When she was pouring me a new pint yet exactly the same thing happened. Instead of getting a new pint she just poured it into a different glass and topped it up with and expected a different outcome.

WE LIVE IN SCOTLAND SND THERE IS ON TENNANTS ON TAP?!

Now let's go with ordering the food which was the most difficult part.

Half of the things on the menu were missing. Staff running about asking if they have steak (which they didn't on a Saturday night). Out of the 6 things we ordered 3 were out of the menu.

Another massive disappointment.

My partner and mother in law both ordered dirty fries. Both got something completely different from what's on the menu. The "burger fries" were dry and tasteless. On the menu it says you get cheese sauce with it instead of the sauce they received a slice of plastic cheese with no spring onions. (Photo added) The fact that the burger wasn't even cut it was just a slab of meat with melted plastic cheese on it is a joke!

The burgers we ordered were cold and dry. There was more onion than the burger on the bun and it looked like a 2 year old put it together. The blue cheese burger had a tea spoon of the cheese and the "hot honey burger" had no honey on it 🤣

A member of staff must have come to our table so many times that she must have felt awkward to work in such a disorganised place.

Do not...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Auctioneers in Inverness, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish.

Upon entering the establishment, I was immediately struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere created by the attentive staff Cara and Nathan. Their hospitality was unparalleled, as they ensured that every guest felt valued and comfortable throughout their visit.

Now, let's talk about the food. To put it simply, it was absolutely amazing. Each dish was meticulously prepared with the finest ingredients, resulting in a culinary journey that left me thoroughly impressed. From appetizers to desserts, every bite was a delight to the senses, showcasing the culinary expertise of the chef, Chantelle.

In addition to the delectable food, the atmosphere of the restaurant further elevated the dining experience. The ambiance was sophisticated yet inviting, making it the perfect setting for any occasion, whether it be a romantic dinner for two or a gathering with friends and family.

Furthermore, I was thoroughly impressed by the selection of drinks available at Auctioneers. From cocktails to fine wines, there was something to suit every palate, allowing guests to indulge in the perfect beverage pairing to complement their meal.

In conclusion, Auctioneers in Inverness is a gem of a dining establishment that exceeds expectations in every aspect. From the welcoming staff to the amazing food and brilliant selection of drinks, it is clear that this is a place where excellence is not just strived for, but consistently achieved. I cannot recommend it highly enough to anyone looking for an unforgettable...

So posted this on rant chat debate inrestristed and seem to be blocked so here goes

So went to autioneers, no steak sandwich, selected cup of tea and a caramel shortbread cheesecake, Was not cheese cake but texture more like angel delight. And tasted of garlic.. expected cold but it took over half an hour to bring out and it was warm and drooping due to heat, (i don’t mind garlic but when brain expecting sweet it is odd… I suppose that is why I choose not to eat here often.. would not recomend to my enemy. I posted earlier but it seems that i am now locked out of my own post. This is inverness RANT, chat and debate (UNRESTRICTED) Or not?

I am not, as accused by a manager an ex employee but I am an over 60’s male with dyspraxia. I will be talking to the organiser of the support group abut not organising meals their any more. I will be speaking to enviromental health as i believe serving a chilled dish warm creates a health hazard and it seems that the transfer of garlic to a sweet dish could mean unclean surfaces ond cross contamination of knives, cutting boards.. poor kitchen practices to prove that i am a customer i am attaching a copy of my bank...
