Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

Really good atmosphere with good food - the only thing I would say is that it doesn't perhaps have the variety that other places have to cater to lots of different tastes. However if you like Italian food it's probably fine. But the food is really really good. Staff always seem nice and I have eaten there a few times now with no complaints.

I loved Las Iguanas. Food was great with a good selection of dishes and also a few unusual ones thrown in there. Cocktails excellent - especially if you order in happy hour (before 7 or 7.30 I think), although the only snag is that to get one free you have to order 2 of the same type. The staff have always been really good and helpful with me and generally upbeat and amusing at times. They play great music to suit the feel of the place and it feels really relaxed. I'd really recommend it.

good restaurant

I heard lots of recommendations from friends and work colleagues about this place, and I would have to say, it's ok, the food is fairly nice but I wouldn't rave about it. I think the actual place needs to be done up a bit (it's not awful just some bits are shabby) to make it feel nicer and add to the atmosphere. I'm surprised they haven't made it feel nicer than it does as it would be relatively simple. The staff were again ok, I wouldn't say amazing - we had to ask for our bill a few times and wait quite a while for it whilst they chatted and shut down the bar etc which is fine, however you'd just think they'd deal with the customers if they wanted to get off home. Food was good - I have had better Mexicans. However I have heard from several people at work that it's the best Mexican they've ever had - so differing opinions! There wasn't a huge range of cocktails and the one I had wasn't especially nice compared to the same cocktail I've had elsewhere.

We visited the Burcott Inn on 12 July 07 following a recommendation from my parents. The food was very good - very tasty rump steak. Staff were very friendly and made our visit very pleasant. Prices were good for the standard of food - we would be happy to return.

Have eaten hear many times and don't intend to stop. The best restaurant in Clevedon without a shadow of a doubt. The food is well thought out and cooked to perfection, the service is first class and you are always made to feel welcome when you walk in. Always busy, and to me that says alot. It shows that people return time after time. Simon, the owner obviously has a passion for what he does and that shows in the perfectly ran establishment that he owns. If you have never visited, its an absolute must! FANTASTIC

One of the nicest restaurants in Somerset- food was beautifully presented and tasted authentic, lovely area outside under grape vines and atmospheric inside.

I think Zio is the best Italian restaurant in Bristol. Being a vegetarian I still enjoy eating the lovely food made by Chef Kapoor and the staff are also amazing and very friendy. The owners are also very nice. I think whenever we think of Italian food, Zio is the only best place to eat.

I come from this area and now live in France, each time I go back to visit I would always eat at the Upton Inn, it is just superb I give it 5 stars not only for food but for quality, surroundings, friendliness, and cleanliness

The name has now changed to 'good taste' this is the most unbelievably hygienic restaurant and extremely friendly and familiar staff i only live around the corner but would travel miles for this restaurant as hygiene is top of my list of priorities when it comes to food the place is so well presented always fresh flowers and lovely Chinese style plants. Also if you walk by they wave out to you they are so friendly.

good food and surroundings

The Windsor castle rules great food great staff great ambience really low prices best value in Weston for the size of the meal..

Fabulous! As always......

We have eaten twice at the Lockside, once for dinner and again for breakfast. Very deceptive from the outside as it looks pretty average, however on entering the Lockside we were quite literally taken aback as it is very contemporary in style with a wonderful ambience. Made to feel very welcome by the owners and the menu was very varied and food delicious, especially the hot chocolate brownie. Have recommended to friends and they have not been disappointed.

Excellent Chinese food here, the best for miles around. Do expect to have to book on a weekend night. Expect a long wait for takeaway on a weekend too, even if you ring your order through, they will still only cook it once you have been into the pick up area. Can be very frustrating when you have ordered for a set time and then find that someone who comes in and orders there and then gets their food before you. Worth the wait though if you have the time.

the shield is back

Walked off Grand Parade Bath into the atmosphere of Istanbul very authentic. Excellent lamb dishes,very good service complimentary to start nibbles and finish with fresh fruit and liquor on the house. Friday evening 22nd June 2007

We really enjoyed The Willow Tree. The food was excellent and the prices were reasonable for the ambiance and the quality of the food, but not a cheap night out. Great if you want some thing a bit more varied and special. The atmosphere can be a bit stuffy & a bit too formal, but we'd definitely go back for a birthday/anniversary or celebration.
