The early dinner my wife & I tried to enjoy was quite mediocre. Sunday evening. The place is almost…read moreempty, one other couple having drinks only. My get out of here alarm did not sound because 100's of TripAdvisor reviews proclaim that the food is well made & tasty. NOT TRUE. Duck salad: burnt meat. Way over sauced, a literal pool of miso dressing in the bowl. Beef carpaccio: meat okay. Grated Parmesan cheese, too unctuous on top ruined the delicacy of the thin beef slices. Duck confit: terrible. Not confit but stewed sometime in the remote past, frozen then microwave re-warmed for service. I saw into the open kitchen. The microwave was getting plenty of use. Chicken with creamy sauce: acceptable. By no means high cuisine. Ate it because I was hungry, did not savor it. Honey cake with caramel: again warmed in microwave. Which made the cake gummy. Service: hit & miss. One engaged, happy & helpful server. Other one was sullen, perfunctory and really needs to acquire employment elsewhere. She might be happier working in a job that required no contact with customers. £23 for a bottle of Chilean Merlot that sells in supermarket for £7.68 Total tariff: £53 after removing the duck confit disaster. Go elsewhere.

I love the decor- very mythical fishermen with posters for movies and wanted signs. They have an extensive menu, including alcohol and their cider comes in 500ml bottles. I've been told it's quite expensive in local standards but for the atmosphere it's worth it. I'd like to give a shoutout to one of the chefs. We had shown up here and the hostess had said they were not taking any one without a reservation. But there were open tables. Disappointed, we walked out. Standing in front of the restaurant, trying to figure out what to do, the cook comes out and says they will make room for us. Absolutely the sweetest. We were so stoked to eat at this place again. He even brought out tasty food out to us himself!

The classiest (and only) real venue on Church road, consequently I find myself waiting for a table, squeezing past seats or queuing every time I visit - not a good thing. The standard coffee shop decor has a twist (read: trying to be one of the Lounges) wooden floors and ethnic style trinkets and pictures. Attention to detail - a sprig of fresh rocket with pizza, a little extra froth on the cappuccino goes a long way, although I doubt I'd stop here if I didn't live close by. St George is off the beaten track from the city centre and rather uninspiring in terms of surroundings. Blah!

Found the restaurant on a wimp, we were hungry and this was by the bus/train station so it was just…read moreright there. The prices looked higher than the rest of the establishment nearby but it is also the only steakhouse. Hubby said we should splurged for a good meal since we had a long day on the road and it was our 1st meal in Bath so we went in. The place was crowded, but it was late in the evening (close to 9pm) that we still got a table without reservation (it was about 85% full). Service was friendly despite us looking like two bumps (we just arrived after a long 10 hours flight + a long bus ride due to road closure from Heathrow). We both ordered the rib eye and I asked if they could substitute the chips (thicker cut fries) could be substituted with a different, non fried side dish, and they obliged. Both hubby and I substituted the chips with mashed potatoes. We also got a sauce each for our steak, hubby had the bbq sauce and I had the cognac and peppercorn sauce. I was a bit skeptical since I ordered the steak well.done (I had to bc of doctor's order), hubby ordered medium rare. The reviews online weren't promising too so I was nervous. Food arrived after about 20-30 minutes, it felt. a bit slow, but I was also starving. The plate looked pretty but smaller in portion compared to Amerizan size ..I was once again nervous we would leave hungry. I had a bite of the mashed potatoes and WOW! creamy, rich, cheesy, delicious!!!! Then had a bite of the side salad that came with the steak (watercress + 3 plump cherry tomatoes) and wow it was good too! I did wish there were more salad on the plate since it was quite little and I felt like I needed more veggies. Then I tasted the sauces...the bbq was not my forte and it was definitely not as sweet and didn't taste smokey like american bbq sauce but the cognac and peppercorn sauce was soooo good!!! It tasted a bit like gravy, but richer and creamier and had more flavors. I'm usually not a sauce person but dang that was a good sauce! Lastly, I had my steak and wow!!! It didn't disappoint! The meat was tender despite it was being well done and the sauce complemented the mest soooo well!!!! Both hubby and I enjoyed our main course a lot :). And we were both satisfied and full after our main course, phewwwhhh!!! I guess though the portion did not look big, it was still filling (the mashed potatoes were rich and good portion). When we walked in and saw their menu we also spotted the dessert: Sticky toffee pudding...so we definitely had our heart set to ordering a dessert..we decided to share one ang glad we did! The portion was enough to share and boy that was one really really good dessert!!! It was a piece of cake (but not crumbly like cake and spongy but more dense than a regular cake) came with delicious caramel sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was not overly sweet and too die for!!! Certainly a must eat if you want a dessert! Our tab (for drink we had tap water and hubby had a bottle of coke) came out to around 57 GBP, not cheap, but again it was a nicer establishment and the food was really good, so we were very happy. The service was also very friendly, they came to check on us a few times, had a little bit of small talk with a couple of the waiters too and they were very friendly. I certainly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for a nicer place to eat in Bath. They had lots of beer! It's like a fancier modern pub, unfortunately I couldn't try due to my current dietary restrictions, but if you're a beer drinker, should totally have beer there..they looked good too!!

This is a chophouse and bar a minute from Bath Spa railway station…read more It's situated on the first floor adjacent to the London platform of the station but, frustratingly, there's no direct access. (Good views from that side of the bar you are a trainspotter...) There is a lift up to the bar - otherwise it is a surprisingly long staircase if, like me, you arrive with luggage. Inside it's one large room with a central bar, and the dining area is on the station side. The one major downside for me was the noise - they had piped music which meant, on a Friday night, competing with people trying to talk over the music. So it's definitely not the place for a romantic meal. At other times it may be quieter, of course. I'm vegetarian and, although the choice is limited, my starter of spiced pear salad with blue cheese and walnuts was the highlight, freshly prepared, crunchy and tasty. My main of macaroni cheese with spinach and mushrooms was all right - plenty of it - but a little stodgy, even for a dish which is meant as comfort food. My friend's dish of chicken and salad was very nice apparently - lots of chicken, too. Interestingly, having read the other reviews on here, I found the service to be pretty good - we didn't have to wait long for drinks, the food, or the bill, and our waiter was attentive. A free bottle of chilled tap water arrived before I'd even sat down, which was not bad for the post-work rush on Friday. The bill came to just under £30 a head for two courses, 2 glasses of wine, coffee and tip. So, not the place for a special meal, but fine if you want something close to the station.
