    Service started out great. Food excellent. Went to having to flag our server down. Then she was just gone. We were not that high maintenence (Xtra sauce?) No Service, no drinks, could not even get our check. Other employee interactions were good.

    Hey Cherie! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are grateful you still recommend Bristol despite the service issues. We strive for exceptional hospitality and it seems your server did not live up to that. We will be using this feedback as a coaching opportunity and would love to invite you back in for a meal on us in hopes of a second chance. Send us a message with a day/time you'd like to come back in and I can set up a reservation.

    The food was excellent, but the service was slightly slow, and our server mixed up checks. We didn’t get to see itemized receipts, so it made paying a bit difficult. That said, we will be back because the food is delicious

    Howdy Veronica! We are so sorry about your experience with service. Thank you for the details so that we can use this as a coaching opportunity for our team.

    Great first experience! Our server was lovely and took great care of us. We were there just to enjoy a cocktail but couldn’t resist trying the deviled eggs. They were delicious and guaranteed we will be back to try other things. Their cocktails are pre-batched which does not take away from their taste or quality at all, but it does limit the choices a bit as you can’t order one with an ingredient omitted.

    Our waitress was great but she was so busy and therefore service was very slow. Took forever to get our bill. We didn't complain to her because she was working hard and she was so sweet. Also the music was incredibly loud. We had to shout to make conversation. We sat at a table off to the side of the main dining area and there was constant foot traffic and commotion by our table. From my seat all I saw was the hallway to the bathroom and the steps to the second floor bar area so I missed the ambiance of the restaurant itself. The food was good and decor was fun. Staff was nice. We would go back but at a different table!!

    We went for brunch and it was more quiet than usual, which was great for 11:00am. Very nice portion sizes, and a great variety of breakfast choices.

    The food was excellent and we loved the ambiance. We went for the band, but the acoustics werent great, so the music drowned out the lyrics and actual singing. It took a bit for our server to bring the check and we had to go find her, but it was jam-packed, so she was just.

    Hey Veronica! Thank you so much for the feedback. I am sending it to the appropriate managers to use as opportunity to improve! We hope to seed you again soon.
