Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

Really enjoyed watching you guys on the F Word. Thought you came out very well and preferred the look of your meal. well done anyway.

unimpressive lunch was had here the other Saturday for £15 a head. had to get a mars bar on the way home.

What a find! if you like authentic tapas this is the place to go. brilliant food and service, we will definitely be back.

hot, fresh home cooked food, brilliant staff and cook

Well I totally disagree with the previous comment and probably the service and the food changed a bit in a couple of years. The food wasn’t what you really expect from an typical Italian restaurant, don’t even bother with the starters. Service very slow, long wait for the food and they are not even good for themselves, I mean it took an eternity to get the bill and finally to pay I spent another life.

my grandmat (cris) took us to the grota it was lovely there lasagna IS the best i have ever had. every time we go to Bristol we go to la grota.

Had dinner here last month and it never fails to impress. The presentation is awesome and the wine list an oenologist's wet dream. Nuff Said!

I have been to this restaurant for years. It is consistently good, you know you are going to get a good meal. Some people seem to think the unchanged menu is a bad thing - I don't! There is enough variety on there for everyone and if you've got a firm favourite, you know it will still be there next time you go. I've always found the staff fine - yes, you have to leave messages to get a table but they've always got back to me.

One of the very best meals we've had for a long time & in such a beautiful place with wonderful friendly service. Can't wait to return. I would recommend to anyone.

Charming, good food but now mainly caters for large house parties, where guests take over the whole hotel.

WOW, got a takeaway from there this evening, butter chicken tikka with pilau rice and a keema naan, it was so tasty and filling o and i got free popadoms! staff were friendly always smiling and their restaurant looked so nice gonna have to eat in there soon! 10 out of 10 so far!

My Wife booked us a table as my birthday treat, from a recommendation from a friend, a table with 'Moat views' and we got what we asked for. We chose a Saturday evening, which was busy but not 'too' busy. Both of us had Starter, Main course and Desert with Coffee, all very good value and were well cooked. There were a couple of large parties seated, one in the main entrance area, the other in the centre of the restaurant, there was some noise but who wants a silent room where you can hear the clicking of everybodies knives and forks? I can't fault the meal to be honest, the food was good, the service was prompt and polite and the setting is very good also, Wells Market Place next to the Town Hall, backing onto the Bishops Palace and Moat. Will definitely go again!

We went to Obento on Saturday for lunch and ordered the mixed Bento box at £11.00 each, I was disappointed to find that the Tempura was breadcrumbed mixed seafood, even a battered Crab stick! One compartment was just 3 slices of orange another an incredibly unauthentic potatoe salad with dry hard rice and 3 pickle slices, incredibly unauthentic and not at all value for money, looked like it came from Iceland, really disappointing for a first visit, would not recommend

overpriced muck served to idiot Somerset fools who have never tasted a true curry and consequently think this 'modernist' place is quality. not true. you pay thru the nose and you get slop. fair enough it's the one one around here, but still, MUST TRY BETTER TO PRODUCE DECENT FOOD !!!

Recently stayed in Dunster with my husband and reserved a table at Cobblestones, as recommended by our landlady. On arrival received a very warm welcome - bar had plenty of choice and good beer as sampled by hubby!! The menu had a good selection of dishes, reasonably priced and we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Portion sizes were excellent too. They have a great selection of desserts - the one I tried was superb (chocolate praline mousse - just fabulous!)and presentation was wonderful too. The service and waitressing was excellent too - nothing too much trouble and very friendly. We will certainly book at this restaurant again, when we next return to Dunster. Definitely recommended!!

great atmosphere and attentive staff the food was first class, excellent, cooked to perfection! definitely worth a visit we will be returning again.

Thank you very much for a truly delicious meal, excellent service and a lovely evening, we'd like to wish you continued success! Best Regards, Julia, Tracey and David
