Reviews in Bristol City Centre

Food was okay, shocking service. Pre booked a table for a group of us. Everyone ordered starter and main, while my partner and I had a set menu. Started promising as the food came out quick, three items came from the set menu, we then had to ask when the rest was coming after 15 mins (told that it was just coming), after another 30 mins when everyone had finished their bento boxes we still were with no additional food. The rest of our party were offered dessert menus while we were still waiting!! Was told that it was due to being very busy upstairs with 40 people. Considering that we booked in advance I find that it was a very poor excuse. Paid for the food we had and more than likely will not be visiting again due to the service - not the food.

I highly recommend Amici's restaurant. It has recently become a family favourite upon which we can all rely for a delicious meal, cosy atmosphere and attentive, friendly service. Whilst not the most modern interior and despite the slightly alarming (life-size)statue guarding Amici's entrance this venue is totally unpretentious, welcoming and accommodating.

Had a really great meal at San Carlo last night - the food was delicious, the service was great, and the location of the restaurant is fantastic.

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!

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

Not the cheapest I've eaten but so well worth the price. Service attentive and professional. Menu interesting without being OTT in terms of food combining. Presentation worthy of an art show but certainly not 'nouvelle'in their portion size. Lovely atmosphere in spite of being very early evening and the place was not full by any means. (us oldies like to eat early!) I would frequent it every week given the choice - and easy parking.

I ve been to Ezo with my boyfriend last week and really enjoyed it. Everything was great, the food was delicious, the service was fast and friendly and the bill was quite reasonable. i had a pleasant romantic evening that night. i will definitely go back there again. At the end they gave us free Turkish delight on the house. I will advice everyone to give it a go.

Visited San Carlo on Friday, where we had to book 2 weeks in advance to get a table for a Friday night! The food was delicious, it was piping hot, served quickly, and with a smile. The desserts too were really tasty - I really enjoyed the whole evening and now understand why there was a 2 week waiting list for a Friday night meal!!

service is nice, staff are friendly. but food is not tasted and not fresh.

Had lunch there today, Jan 3rd 2008. restaurant was freezing cold, had to eat in our coats. Sushi fish, Salmon roe and sea urchin had been too long in the fridge and lost flavour. Miso soup much too sweet. Tempura coating undercooked and not crisp. Disappointing...won't go back.

We booked a table over the holiday period and enjoyed a lovely meal at san carlo. The restaurant was very busy, but the tables are well spaced, and we didn't feel like we were too close to other guests, as sometimes you do in busy restaurants. The staff were lovely - very Italian, very charming, and very busy. But this didn't affect the service we received. The food was great - i've struggled to find a decent Italian that knows how exactly to prepare food in an Italian manner. But San Carlo does it perfectly. I will definitely be returning - hopefully my husband took the hint about Valentine's Day!

Main snag ( if you want a cheap snack ) is that it has not been a Beefeater since last Feb.

Took my wife here to celebrate her birthday and we had a really super night. The restaurant was the perfect choice- the food was great, and the staff were lovely. Such a great place - can now understand what all the hype is about!

Excellent in every way we will be going very frequently now. Please note the unexpected menus. A little gem.

I really wanted to like this place having heard and read so many positive reviews, however I went for a meal there with a group of about ten people and it took two hours for us to get our meals! They did provide us with jugs of beer to compensate but this is poor really and I've been put off re-visiting.

Didn't get into the ambience of this place... Good for large groups but far from ideal if you want a romantic meal for two. We chose one of the specials that was recommended to us and got the impression that they had made a big vat of the dish and it certainly wasn't individually made for us as in better class establishments. I wouldn't go back!

Simply one of the top Indian Restaurants in Bristol. The food is without exception...divine....if you like a true Indian Restaurant experience then this is absolutely the place to go.... My husband and I love Indian food and this is joint first place with paprika in Whitchurch... please go.... you cannot fail to be impressed with the food and the ambience is fabulous.... brilliant for both groups and couples.
