Reviews in Bristol and Somerset

I hadn't been to Union Street Brasserie for quite a while, but I popped in for a coffee yesterday and was pleasantly surprised. The place feels different, and I noticed there's a new member of staff who was absolutely fantastic. She was warm, genuinely friendly, always smiling, and incredibly attentive. She checked in to make sure everything was okay without being over the top, and she made me feel really welcome. It's rare to come across service like that these days, and it really made my visit enjoyable. Great coffee, a relaxed atmosphere, and exceptional customer service. I'll definitely be back.

The service was friendly and quick; the food was delicious and very hot. The dauphinoise potatoes were incredible and I highly recommend people choose their main meal around having that as a side. I would definitely come back next time I'm in Wells.

What a lovely weekend lunch we had at the Olive. The food was absolutely fantastic, and the atmosphere is so relaxed, with a lovely, peaceful setting, and friendly staff. We will definitely return!

The best Can't beat it Kas is so kind

What a great place, just off the bottom of Gloucester Road, really nice food and an authentic and welcoming atmosphere. The menu is a good mix of Persian dishes, tapas and more standard pub dishes, so something for everyone. The Persian dishes (eg Korma Sabzi and Khoresh Bademjan) are amazing, and the whole meal was really good value.

We have only tried the Persian dishes and they are very good . The portions are very generous and the food is presented well. It's a relaxed atmosphere and we had a lovely evening there. Kaz is a very good host.

My second visit to Olive. Both times the food, the place and the staff have all been amazing. I had the summer lamb bowl this time and it did not disappoint. The portions are big, the flavours are gorgeous and the dishes look beautiful. My kind of food. Thank you!

Delicious, imaginative , healthy and filling vegan breakfast on a Sunday morning ...always a good choice. Pleasant service from Staff. Went with my Son and he was very pleased with his breakfast choice.

Our first visit: although it was busy, the service was excellent and the breakfasts delicious.

Lovely meal, especially the cocktails! But more than that really appreciated the help and concern about our predicament having broken down and waiting for rescue. Many thanks, will be back!

Lovely friendly staff. Nothing was too much. They were very accomodating with some dietary requirements.

Well this was a find! Hot day in Somerset and took my elderly mother(called Olive) here. Easy plentiful parking right outside and lots of outside seating with large parasols for shade. Lovely comfortable cushioned chairs and the food was brilliant. Can’t rate the mezze for 1 highly enough and mum had the frittata. Portions generous and full of unusual veg and beautifully presented. The Middle Eastern chicken was succulent and well flavoured. Lots of free help yourself water. Don’t be put off by it being in an industrial estate, the planting was stunning and the surrounding buildings very architected. Will definitely be going back on my next return to Somerset. It was busy too with very charming helpful staff. We thought it was great value for £ too. Well done!

Outstanding food, lovely chilled vibe. We will be back

My daughter treated me to lunch as it was a birthday treat. We both ordered the cooked breakfast, as that’s what we fancied my daughter didn’t want everything that was listed and asked if she could have extra items of what she did want , when it arrived there was nothing extra on it! My breakfast was also disappointing a hard fried egg, toast that was crispy ( I can only imagine the bread was stale ) not the best breakfast I have had and I was disappointed, however the staff were lovely and didn’t have a problem there , not sure if I would return for food , but possibly a drink as it’s a fab setting

Lovely food. Friendly service. Perfect place to catch up with friends.

We had a late breakfast on our visit with 3 adults and 4 children. We arrived early and the manager was very kind in making the table available early. The food and drink were lovely although a little staggered in how it came out. The food was very good. Eggs were fresh and cooked perfectly. The trout and eggs was exceptional. London prices though... Staff were attentive and friendly. They do need to print out their bills for the customer rather than just read it off their hand held. As it turns out there was an error in the bill which would have been missed if I hadn't have insisted on a printed bill. Interesting location, while it was a pleasant surrounding with an attractive garden, eating on an industrial estate, however well presented, was a little odd. That said, this is an excellent choice for breakfast in the middle of the countryside.

Sorry to leave this review but I was very disappointed on my recent visit. Normally I love this place, the staff have always been friendly and the food is lovely. On this occasion I had booked a table but on arrival was told if it was only for coffee they couldn't accept my booking as they were very busy and we could only have an hour. An hour was fine anyway but I felt rather unwelcome especially as there were many tables outside that were empty and they were still empty when we left an hour later. When our order was taken, our question about pastries being available was met with a short 'no'. I appreciate they were busy but this is the hospitality industry - I will leave it a while before going back.

Good was excellent lovely variety on menu Fair prices and excellent friendly service
