Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

I was recently on a visit to the UK from South Africa and had such a fantastic experience at Cobblestones I just wanted to tell everyone about it. The welcome on arrival was excellent - even being greeted by name (we had booked in advance as it was a birthday). We had a relaxing drink in the bar area first so that we could look at the menu and decide what to have. This was a very difficult task as there was so many delicious things to choose from but eventually we decided. The table had been decorated with fresh flowers and there was plenty of room for us to enjoy our evening. The food was excellent and obviously freshly cooked - how nice not to have something that had been thrown in the microwave to heat through, The sauce on my steak was out of this world and the steak was cooked to perfection. If you love deserts - this is the place to go!! What a wonderful selection, even those of us that were too full really to want one were tempted and the cheese platter had a variety of local cheeses that we had not tasted before. The whole experience was wonderful and the hostess made our evening one of the highlight of our trip. If ever we go back to the UK again we will definitely return. We now recommend it to all our friends that are visiting that part of the UK. Well done to everyone at Cobblestones and keep up the good work. 5 star restaurant and service!!

Over priced, however food quality reasonable.Found the management had an arrogant attitude. Not a particularly welcoming atmosphere.

Eaten at this place numerous times. The owner has produced a good menu and provides well presented well cooked food. If you can book a table do it. You should not be disappointed.

I celebrated my birthday a few weeks ago at San Carlo on Corn Street, and I just wanted to let everyone know what a great night I had! The staff were fantastic - they were happy to play along with my parents surprises for me, and sang 'Happy Birthday' to me in Italian with such enthusiasm, I felt like they were close friends! The food was beautiful - we had starters, mains and desserts, and all 3 courses came in record time, were presented beautifully, and tasted great. Overall, a fantastic place to celebrate my birthday - I really enjoyed myself, and without a shadow of a doubt will be returning! Thank you to all of the staff at San Carlo!

Appalling. I do not recommend this restaurant. The service was the rudest I have ever encountered. There were various incidents, but to sum up, when I went to the toilets mid-meal, I found upon my return that I had been moved to another table without my consent. They simply do not care whether their customers enjoy their evening or not. Dreadful.

My wife and I visited this restaurant yesterday and were most impressed by the entire experience. The staff were very welcoming and we found the restaurant to be both comfortable and spacious. The restaurant was decorated to a high standard and was spotless. Although the kitchen must have been very busy, our meals were well cooked and nicely presented. The entire menu looked appealing, but we opted for the Hake Goujons with a portion of chips and also the Pork steaks in creamy peppercorn sauce with baby roast potatoes and peas. We finished with a dessert of Sticky Toffee Pudding covered with a Baileys Toffee Sauce, which really was as good as it sounds! We ordered our coffee and were able to enjoy it in the sitting area overlooking the rear garden. We would highly recommended this restaurant.

Good indian. Friendly staff, great food, and above all, unlicensed!

Excellent service, great atmosphere and setting. The Greek wines are well worth a try - really good quality and good value.

A very friendly family-run restaurant. Previously a simple but good Italian, the sons of the owners have now taken over and have high aspirations - modern Fat Duck style food, with an Italian twist. I would strongly recommend the deconstructed Caesar salad and tiramisu - they will exceed your expectations. The tasting menu is very good value and all meals tend to come with little surprise extras. A real treat for all foodies!

THE NEW RESTAURANT IS FAB. OPENED IN MARCH 2008 BEST FOOD AND VIEW IN AREA

Brilliant currys, some original dishes too!!! One of the best Indian restaurants in the south west if not the best!!!!

We had a takeway from Alcombe Tandoori last night - excellent quality, on time - the order was even correct - Perfect! Highly recommended! Good and innovative selection of dishes - well spiced.... Even the Korma tastes good! Booking recommended though - even on a weds night...

Chips soggy, Rump steak ordered well done was cremated, Sirloin steak ordered medium was well done, Steak ale and mushroom pie lots of fluffy pastry very little filling, Onion rings cremated, No Sorry you cant have beans???? service was very slooooooow We recommend the cheesy garlic bread it was divine!! If I could find an email address for this place my "recommendation" would have been sent direct, please forward my comments

We had a very disappointing meal at Giardino in Clevedon.The fish was far from fresh; the prices very high served on uncomfortable tables with plastic tablecloths and tiny paper napkins. The loo was a disgrace.

My first visit was when they were known as Hathaways. The Sunday lunch we had was excellent, just like home made. I have visited Cobblestones when ever I visit Minehead and the same excellent service is delivered each time. Very friendly. Can't resist the cream teas.

This is a lovely place for a family meal. The food is superb and the service very friendly. A really good evening out.

Very disappointed! the service was slow and not 'with a smile', they were not busy and yet it took 40 minutes to bring us the 3 salads we had ordered. I will never go there again and will advise all my friends and family to do likewise.
