Staff were scattered, no one seemed to have a job as they bounced around from host stand, bar to table service up and downstairs. We ordered drinks with our food and they came after the entree was served. Our empty plates sat there until they brought over our mains. Then the waiter seemed perplexed that he couldn't put them down because there was no room. Complete lack of management makes this a poor dining choice. Not to mention the ambiance was dead. Saturday at lunchtime should be fun and even given the busy crowd, it felt like a lifeless cafeteria.

We turned up with our 'two courses for £15' vouchers we'd collected from the newspaper. The waiter did have a vaguely snooty expression on his face when we asked about it, but not to worry - he still had to serve us. To add insult to injury, the 'special' menus were printed on the brightest yellow paper you've ever seen, so everyone in the place could determine the cheapskates (skates - geddit??!) I think this probably says more about my own insecurities and snobbishness than about the actual restuarant, which is traditionally smart, dark wood panels and curtains all round, with some subtley romantic lighting (take note, fellas). Wipe your drool off the wine menu and begin - they'll recommend the perfect bottle so as not to overpower the delicate I had seabass resting on a bed of tangy mustard mash (speckled with mustard seeds) served with sauteed spring greens. Simple, yes, easy to get right, no. Fishers got it better than right. Flaky, meaty flesh versus creamy mash and juicy veg. I'm in an underwater heaven. The main was so filling and zingy, I can barely remember desert. I believe it involved chocolate and cream and was value for moulah, but that ain't very useful to you. What you need to know is that people come here for the fish, and stay here for the fish (and langoustine, and prawns, and lobster, and oysters, and mussels and clams). Dive deep into your pockets and head for Fishers, it's a swimmingly good place to dine.

(Reading Shontae J's review of the food that day I think we had a lucky escape!) The person who answered the phone said no reservation was needed; when asked about parking they said it was free on Queen's Sq. (Actually it's pay all day, every day which I discovered after dropping off the family and driving around the block. And it's £3 per hour and 1 hour is the max.) The missus, plus baby stroller and toddler in tow got to Loch Fyne's door. The staff didn't come to assist despite her looking for help. Instead they slowly wandered around the tables, then reluctantly came to help. Then she was asked if she had a reservation. "No... Do I need one?" It turns out it was quiet and She didn't need one (like the guy on the phone said) so why this passive aggressive attitude? Totally uncalled for. Then the deal breaker was that half the menu was unavailable as it's New year's Day. Ok, but please say so when I call on the phone because that's the only thing that counts at a restaurant. Don't come here unless you want a bad experience. #DumbStaffWillRuinYourBusiness

Great lunch date with my wife. We went to Bristol just to try this restaurant because my wife…read morelikes seafood and I liked the warm reception I received some time ago when I popped my head in to grab a menu while walking past. We ordered from the Set menu. Scottish Peppered Mackerel, Pork Belly and twice-cooked chips (fries), and Creme Brûlée for me. Crispy Sprats, Mussels and mixed vegetables for her. The Mackerel was surprisingly delicious. I think I was expecting a peppered fillet or something (I missed the "Potted" part in the dish's name), but pleased to get a little glass pot with minced(?) mackerel and cracked pepper to spread on some dark bread. Yummy! The pork belly and chips were tasty but nothing to write home about. I didn't dislike them but the pork wasn't as flavorful as I had expected because the seasoning hadn't penetrated the meat. Again, it wasn't bad and that might have been what they were going for. When we return, I'll try the steak (I'm not big on seafood but my wife is). The chips had just the right consistency. Lastly, I had Creme Brûlée somewhere else and didn't like it because the top was burnt and I was afraid that that's how it would always taste. I ordered it at Loch Fyne just to see how well they'd do it. It was yummy. The top wasn't burnt and the custard was subtle yet delightfully smooth. I considered ordering one for take away but I was heading to a meeting at a patisserie. The Prats were OK, but we learned that we are not fans of prat. We can't blame Loch Fyne; I'm sure they tasted the way they were supposed to taste. I didn't taste the Mussels, but I was told that they were fresh and perfectly cooked. So, Loch Fyne was worth the trip. It's a short enough walk from the Bristol Temple Meads station that we might find ourselves there again. Oh, I should note though that our table was uncomfortable. It was a four-legged table for two. They're the worst! I hate having to squeeze my long legs between the two table legs and getting my knees trapped.

We both ordered the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. The club consisted of grilled chicken, avocado, carrot, beetroot, mixed leaves & salsa verde mayo all on a ciabatta. I found this sandwich to be a tad messy to eat as I kept losing stuff out the backside of my ciabatta but that also could have been because I was in such a hurry. Either way, the sandwich was absolutely fabulous and I would definitely recommend it. While in England, I only had the opportunity to eat twice at Giraffe but both dishes I had in both restaurants we went to were fantastic. I like this chain and the service we received at this location was second to none. They got us in and out in record time and I wasn't late for my evening event. Thank you!

What time's the last booking?" She said, "8:15" I said, "Okay, well can we walk in and eat at the bar at 9:30." She said, "Yes, but you have to leave by 10pm because that's when we close." Note above, when directly asked, "When do you close?" She replied, "When the last booking leaves." Rather than saying 10. Not once did she try to work anything out, ask about doing an earlier reservation. Just wanted to end the call. I own restaurants.

You will likely need reservations if you going during busy hours. I know... kind of weird that you need reservations at a burger restaurant. Overall, I was impressed with the types of burgers they have. If you are looking for a creative burger with plenty of toppings this is place for you. They have some really wild combinations that looked good. I went very basic and got a normal cheese burger. The meat is not typical of an American style as it was noticeable mixed with some spices or something. I kind of thought it tasted like taco seasoning. This is typically not my type of burger but I definitely see the appeal. I also got cheese fries which were excellent. Service was friendly. Very cool and unique place. Definitely worth a try.

As Nando's' in general go, this one isn't bad, but it's certainly not the best I've visited. The staff are friendly enough and there are usually plenty of space at the tables if you visit with a large group. I have had to wait to be seated for quite a while on a few occasions, even when having booked ahead, but that's no different from plenty of other restaurants, I suppose. There are plenty of other branches with a bit more individuality, but this one's okay if you're in the area.
