We booked through First Table, which gave us 50% off. I would get the filet, fries, and apple tart again. The apple tart is perfection and I would come back to the restaurant for just the tart. The shrimp were nice, but not particularly great. The scallop was yummy but a single scallop is not worth the price.
Couldn't say it's bad but a ribeye steak costing 40 pounds after service charge is not worth it. It is cooked very well, but not paying 40 for one thin cut, WITHOUT any side. Fries cost 6 pounds. Luckily I used 50% discount coupons, otherwise I won't eat there.
[for the restaurant, on a quiet Sunday evening] I booked a tasting menu - only to discover when I arrived that this only worked for 2+ people. My onion soup arrived on a napkin that was pre-soaked with jus; the cheese was carbonized in places; the onions were undercooked. The steak was better; but there was far too much garlic on the tomato, and the peppers in the ratatouille were pretty crunchy. The servers were very friendly, but didn't check in to see how I was doing. The wine was nice, although I had to ask twice for a wine to accompany my main course. Pity - I've had better experiences in the past.
Fantastic food and service all round, It was my birthday today so thanks for making it extra special Cosmin went above and beyond, so attentive and friendly.
The food and welcoming staff always deliver, and it’s a great option to celebrate something special without being super expensive. We went to try their new spring summer menu and had: - Salade de crabe and fenouil - 6’O’clock gin cured Escabeche of mackerel, potato salad - Bourguingnon d’agne - Merlu au berre noisette - Delice myrtilles crème au citron - Rhubard and berry trifle (lol cannot find the French name on the menu) The trifle was insane. One of the best desserts I’ve had The hake was soft and buttery, and complemented extremely well by the croutons and samphire If I was being super picky, I would have liked a little bit more crab in the starter. The bistro has also launched a brand new Prix Fixe menu that is exclusive to Bristol that brings together local and seasonal ingredients. Think Onglet steak, ham hock croquettes and caramel desserts Follow me on Instagram for more food reviews: @hungry_hesketh
Went to the restaurant for my Mum’s 60th. The experience was wonderful as always and the staff were particularly brilliant on this occasion, organising the cake to be brought out at the right time and even getting some candles for me after I’d forgotten them. Would thoroughly recommend for a special occasion.
I remain to be impressed with this hotel, it is not a place I.will rush to go back to.
