Prime Steak & Seafood
About
Prime Steak & Seafood offers Inverness’ first dedicated steakhouse experience, nestled along the picturesque banks of the River Ness with views of the historic castle. Owned and operated by Cru Holdings Ltd., the kitchen prides itself on sourcing locally‑produced meats and sustainable seafood from the Highland and Islands regions, blending classic steak‑house techniques with contemporary Scottish flavours. From its elegant, table‑service dining room to a dog‑friendly outdoor patio active during the warmer months, the restaurant delivers a “relationship from field to fork” in every dish. Friendly staff, prompt service, and a well‑crafted selection of local wines and cocktails make it a popular dining destination for both casual lunches and celebratory dinners. The menu features a range of A‑La‑Carte offerings, a children’s menu, and seasonal specials such as the Christmas and Hogmanay menus, which showcase festive, premium seasonal flavours. Guests can book tables directly on the site – the “Book a Table” link leads to an integrated reservation system that accepts pre‑payments for holiday periods or special events. The establishment also offers a variety of gift cards, ranging from a £30 whisky flight to a £99 “Ultimate Steak Experience for Two”, available for purchase online or in‑person. For those planning a visit during the bustling holiday season, it is advisable to book in advance, as table availability can be limited, especially on weekends and on special event nights.
