Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

I dined at Firehouse for the first time last week, when I visited Bath with a friend. We were both really impressed with the excellent food. The restaurant? dishes revolve around a Californian/Pacific South West theme. We decided to try the restaurant? staple dish: the Rotisserie. Our free range chicken was flavoured with herbes de Provence, crispy bacon, lemon and Dijon tarragon aioli. Our side orders of fries and a spicy coleslaw were perfect. In the future, it would be lovely to have a branch of this restaurant open near my home in London - I am having cravings for more of their roast chicken already!

Already knew the format of Ask restaurants and like the food. However, this restaurant has a fantastic lounge bar with comfy leather seats and good lighting. The food was great as usual (excellent Chevre Grill and pizzas). Service was very good and tables aren't too close together and lighting the restaurant is really good and the cost in very good. I thoroughly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be going back.

Visited Thai Balcony on 12.3.07 for the first time. Had a wonderful window table, which was fantastic. The set menu for 2 was fresh, colourful and tasted superb. Staff were incredibly helpful and very efficient. Will definitely be visiting again.

This is a great place, Everything 1st class, always, We love it. Food always excellent, staff great, Chef brilliant, Thoroughly recommended.

Gigi's was a fantastic place to eat first of all it wasn't overly priced and it was excellent food and service they are extremely polite and they take care of they're customers well

This is one of the best curry houses in Bristol. The food is always very fresh and the take away food every bit as good as that served at the table. The popularity of this little restaurant is a measure of its quality. The garlic naans are superb - as good as anywhere in the world - and I have travelled. The chilli garlic chicken is a must. For the veggies the big metal platter thingy is really good - in fact its all excellent.

Heard the buzz, so had to check it out. Liked it, really liked it. Only had drinks in the top bar, but the restaurant is certainly on my list of things to do in the next month. Found it friendly, relaxed and had a great little vibe to it. And I'm a stubborn and hard to please git.

What a fantastic little restaurant!!! Everything about it was truly wonderful. The food, the staff the location, just opposite the wonderful Cathedral of Wells. Brilliant. Keep up the good work

Excellent place for an Indian meal. One of the best I?e been to. Will be going back and would recommend to anyone.

This is an absolutely amazing place, I cannot praise it enough! The food is very tasty and full of flavour. I ordered the Green Thai Curry and I can honestly say it is the best Thai food I have ever had. The staff are very attentive and friendly. We may go back to Bath just to visit this restaurant again. 5 Star, highly recommended.

This is a gem! Wonderful, family Italian food served with a smile. The food is excellent. I could go on and on but come in and try for yourself... you will not be disappointed

going back for more

As Im in the trade eating out can be an ordeal Mike, Jackie and the girls make you feel welcome, you are not waiting forever for the food.

Lovely country pub/restaurant with a great atmosphere. Cosy with an open fire. Lovely food - delicious! Reasonable prices.

Have only eaten here at lunch time. Food is delicious and they have a great set menu for a bargain price. Service is very good. The restaurant itself is very nice, very big with beautiful high ceilings.

Lovely cosy Italian restaurant. Delicious food and great service.

This restaurant is ok I suppose, but I have had better pizza from a supermarket! Pasta is ok, but would go to a real Italian restaurant if I was looking for pizza or pasta in the future. I have been here a few times though as I worked just up the road! One nice thing about Pizza Express is that you can see the chef at work if you have a table on the ground floor. I found that there is less of an atmosphere downstairs in this restaurant.

Good service when we arrived, but the waitresses seemed rude and a bit 'off'. To be honest I don't think they could really understand what we were trying to say - many of them were not English. The restaurant itself was very nice. Modern, but cosy with an open fire. Food was nice. Would visit Strada again.
