It has been a while since visiting the Storehouse, only my second time since start of Lock Down March 2020. First time with a friend and second with my husband. I have to say it was the loveliest experience both times. They have excelled in so many ways since the last reopening even though it has always been top of my list for eating out. The food has always been so good there and in fact I would say exceptional, but the presence of a new kind of energy fills the place up. They have made some little changes inside the restaurant like so subtle but enough to notice. Little twinkly lights, gifts as you come through the door catches your eye. It is spotless even inside the toilets and very well organised. The buzz of happy people chatting and eating and laughing was definitely felt during our visits. First visit, we sat outside looking at the beautiful Cromarty Firth and the Second most recent visit inside the restaurant itself. The staff were lovely. Cannot do enough for you. And the new manager Mark is lovely and comes across as very professional. He is so friendly and welcoming and you can feel he has a great rapport with his staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our food as its all so fresh and all local.produce. The prices are so competitive with the restaurants in Inverness especially retaining great quality food. The Storehouse and The new manager and all the staff there should be proud of themselves for continuing to always supersed a great food out experience. I would highly recommend a visit from anywhere in the Highlands to the Storehouse. Want to enjoy fabulous great quality freshly made food and your spirits to be lifted then heres the...
Read moreThis is one of our favourite places to come. We come at least twice a month. We usually have some food, buy some goodies in the shop and then go for a walk along the Firth. Its always a great experience. This year(2020) has been testing and we hadn't visited since the start of the year, before Lockdown. We came back yesterday and it was so lovely to be back. The staff, as always, were so welcoming and helpful. Things are very different now but they made it feel as normal as possible. The food was amazing, service effortless, hand sanitisation throughout the building and the shop stocked with goodies. Outside was a well laid out fruit and veg cabin, where we stocked up for our Christmas meals. I went into the Storehouse grumpy due to a panic over last minute Christmas shopping and new lockdown rules. I came out feeling warm, full and Christmassy, not to mention relieved and happy as we'd managed to get last minute pressies and a food shop. Its a cracking local business and is extremely well managed. The staff are just exceptional. The food, shop and locally sourced produce are excellent and keeps us returning. Don't ever change Storehouse. We love...
Read moreSigns confusing, one says wait to be seated, this never happened. Other says wait until called forward to order food. Ordered haddock and chips, then managed to find a socially distanced table tucked away in a corner. Haddock was a small piece of tangy fish in half cooked batter, served on some sort of plasticised paper bulked up with plenty of chips, a heap of curly green stuff and a tiny dollop of something like tartar sauce if you can find it. But it was edible. Noticed tables and chairs were cleaned between sitters but saw several people wondering around, with trays, looking for a table. Trying to get out of the building was a terrifying experience. A gift shop area has been set up in a corner of the dining area, one person browsing blocks exit. There is only one door used for an entrance and an exit for both the shop and the dining area. The foyer area was rammed with people shoulder to shoulder queuing to order food and more were trying to get in. Couldn't get any where near the hand sanitizer, just had to run the gauntlet to exit. Why on earth they allow do many in when there are no tables, I don't understand. Will not be...
