Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

Thoroughly enjoyed our recent dinner at Goodfellows. We were a party of 4 and were particularly impressed that they were able to cope with 2 of the party having the tasting menu and 2 of us choosing from the standard menu. The service ensured that we were not left watching those on the tasting menu eat, it was very well managed. Every plate of food we had was delicious and beautifully presented. Portions are generous and, unlike a lot of other "fine dining" restaurants you do not leave feeling hungry. We felt that it represented value for money, although it is not cheap. It is a treat to eat there and should be savoured as such. We look forward to our next visit.

We eat a lot of fish in the UK but we don't do fish restaurants very well. Fishers proves that we can - it's a cosy, friendly restaurant with excellent service, good atmosphere and, most importantly, fantastic food where the fish is the star. If you love fish and are in Bristol it has to be Fishers!

Went for Sunday lunch - food, drink and service was all excellent. Room was a bit on the cold side even though a heater was on. Would have been nice to have a set price for Sunday lunch for either 2 or 3 courses. Overall, really good and will be going back. Thank you

Great food. Lovely little restaurant. Friendly staff and excellent service. Keep it going!

Our first visit, definitely will not be the last. Food was delicious and beautifully presented, service was very good.

Our favourite restaurant anywhere. Always such a delight to go to Goodfellows in every way. Absolute top marks for fabulously fresh beautifully cooked and creatively presented food, charming staff and a great ambience.

A delicious meal with careful service. Thank you.

We had a superb lunch here, the chicken and pork belly dishes were cooked to perfection. The staff were charming and attentive, nothing disappointed. We will return very soon.

Excellent fish restaurant, good wine list, great service. Highly recommended.

Outstanding food, both in presentation and taste. Service very good. Overall a very enjoyable evening with one of the best meals I've had for a long time.

Visited the olive tree for a Sunday lunch a party of 6 of us as celebrating a birthday., very comfortable pleasant restaurant food was delicious and piping hot, we had starters roast and puddings. Only criticism is that there was not enough gravy, and had no crackling with the pork. We did ask and we were kindly given crackling a a little extra gravy but want quite enough for 6 of us and didn’t want to be a nuisance and ask again.,that was the only minor fault everything else was fabulous., The vegetables and meat cooked to perfection would definitely visit again.

Outstanding - service immaculate, food soo good. Nowhere compares , my bench mark for what quality food , cooking and service looks like.

Table of 6, seated upstairs. Friendly staff. Bit of a shambles. One starter forgotten, one main completely wrong, 2 cocktails forgotten. The food was delicious. We were served by lots of different staff. Who were apologetic . The problem would appear to be they don’t have designated tables to look after so it’s all a bit chaotic, also upstairs gets forgotten. Would love to enjoy the food again but will ask for a table downstairs.

The food, as always, was excellent and everything being gluten free was great. It felt like there was less choice than normal. And the restaurant felt less cosy. Upstairs felt a bit cold and unloved and the lighting a bit stark. That said, it is still my favourite fish restaurant. One of the other reviews mentions it may be closing, if true that might explain the feeling of being unloved, and it will be missed.

This place is on top form Food excellent all round and struggle to pick a favourite Service great as well and wines are excellent On top of that it’s lovely and seasonal too

Fabulous food, great service and very reasonably priced. We went as a couple on the night before Wells Carnival 2023 and on a cold November evening, the restaurant was warm, welcoming and we enjoyed a really good evening. Should we visit Wells again in future, we will have no hesitation in booking again.

Absolutely loved our dinner at Goodfellows. Seriously good food and impeccable service. So look forward to coming back soon!
