Unfortunately I can only leave a 5* review as you can’t leave higher. Great service, the view is fantastic and the food out of this world.

We had the most delicious Sunday roast (for my birthday) recently - the food was fantastic, the staff were lovely and there was great communication with the manager when I was booking for a slightly larger than usual party. We had a great table, with sea views, and each table had plenty of space around it so you never felt cramped. Start to finish we all had the best time. Thanks Bristol Bar team!
