Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

Had a spontaneous need to go for a lovely meal. As ever had the most delicious food. Gazpacho, scallops and poached pears. Just divinely delicious. Always a warm welcome and wonderful service. Thank you for the best food ever.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended.

Nice venue. Good lunch with 2 course deal. Ordered salad which was disappointing.

Visited Wells with family to celebrate a 60th Birthday, and booked a table at The Olive Tree based on reviews and photos. Very positive experience from the moment we arrived, through the quality of menu and meals, and the reasonably priced wines. We would certainly come again if we are in the area. Excellent evening!

The food was excellent, the loos were spotless and the service was great. Not cheap but value for money.

We have attended Goodfellows for some time now - before and after their move to St Thomas Street. The dished served there have always been top quality as on our recent visit. Also the service is excellent, friendly and informed and responsive to questions asked. The restaurant itself is attractive and comfortable. In every aspect my wife and I conclude that Goodfellows is highly to be recommended.

Found this restaurant online for my husband's birthday as we were staying in Wells and what a good choice. Very friendly atmosphere and excellent food , and would thoroughly recommend

What an amazing and intimate experience! My partner booked a room at Beryl Country House it was my role to pick an equal or better restaurant. Apparently I did good! Classily decorated, really intimate. Kitchen in full view. Front of house staff attentive, but not intrusive. Food: out of thise world. We had spent literally an hour deciding on line what we were going to have. When seated the menu had changed. Not a complaint. It was a great talking point for us. Never had food like it. Best sauce I’ve ever had on duck. All perfectly cooked. I’m a starter main course person. My partner, main course, dessert. Was offered cutlery to share both starter and dessert. A great touch (we didn’t take up the offer). Flavours were out of this world and portion sizes were perfect! VFM? Absolutely. Thanks, team. We will be back!

we had another delightful evening at 7b. All the dishes on the 5 course tasting menu were superb and complimented beautifully by the wine selection. The attention to detail is first class.

However many times I go to this fabulous restaurant no words of mine can adequately describe the superb experience I always have. The ambience, the service and foremost the brillant cooking make it a truly wonderful restaurant It is very much a six star establishment

Booking through your website was easy, clear and simple The welcome we received was warm without any gushing and we were given enough time to settle before ordering an aperitif. We ordered in our own good time having had helpful answers to our menu questions. Each course arrived without rushing us and before any anxiety set in! Food and wine were both excellent as was the ambience and smiley helpfulness of the staff. The only thing I didn't like was that a discretionary service charge was included in the bill. I always prefer to tip the individual for service given over and above what one can reasonably expect from the standard of the establishment at the prices charged and to do so in cash without VAT etc. It is a personal thing between customers and the face to face staff

Great food and excellent service.

Love this place. Really lovely relaxed atmosphere created by the team - and the food was second to none. Couldn’t fault it. Will come back to Wells just to eat here again.

Extremely difficult to fault this establishment. The food choices, the quality of cooking, the service and the premises are excellent. It’s a long way from our home but well worth the journey.

Excellent food and service. The best restaurant for miles around Wells. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Absolutely superb. Food is delicious and beautifully presented. Service is quick, friendly and efficient and the new venue is intimate and cosy. Eaten at Goodfellows many times and always love it. Haven't found anywhere locally that is anywhere near as good. Outstanding value for this quality of food

We visited the restaurant last Wednesday as a party of 6, had one of our best evenings out for a longtime, the food was excellent and the attention given to us by the owner and lovely waitress was way over what you expect these days. Thank you as well for the care you showed to one of our party with mobility problems. Would highly recommend Fisher for a unique and special experience, nice to see how expert the owner Allison ( I think ) is on all matters relating to gluten free food ) we will be returning on our next visit to Bristol.

Came to celebrate my wife's birthday on 2 September having read good reviews. However, our experience was not a good one. Took a while to take our order after having given us the menu First wine selected was not available as it had not been chilled long enough - surprised they only had one bottle of this selection. Second choice, house white, was not particularly pleasant. Waited a while for some water to be delivered to the table and when it did, arrived with large chunky glasses, and not a more delicate glass that I observed on a nearby table. I took two wine glasses from another table as these were more suitable. Starters were luke warm My wife's main meal arrived and was cold - sent it back, returned as if it has been reheated. The haddock was rubbery and the creamed spinach was dried and glued to the plate. Uneatable. We were offered free deserts, after a lot of persuading by a member of staff. My wife visited the ladies, only one toilet and it was in use by a gentleman who took ages, by the time my wife returned to the table her dessert (affogato) had melted. Staff in general were not attentive, environment very tired looking and in need of decorating. An extremely disappointing evening and experience which spoilt my wife's birthday!
