"Excellent evening at Sotto Sotto right from the moment we arrived. Great welcome, excellent service throughout. Loved the venue itself, very atmospheric. As for the food ... absolutely delicious. My husband reckoned the steak was one of the best he's had. I went for the vegetarian pasta, the mushroom and gorgonzola sauce was really good. Our desserts, chocolate mousse and hazelnut semifreddo, we're equally lovely. I can definitely recommend and can't wait to return."

"We arrived just before our reservation at 12:30 PM and were promptly welcomed by Estelle, who escorted us to our table. We were seated at a cozy corner with five tables. Our server, Mimi, guided us through the menu and highlighted the specials for the month. She was very informative and provided detailed explanations of the dishes! Mimi took our drink orders, which arrived promptly, especially considering the restaurant was fully booked for Father’s Day. We then ordered our main courses, and I chose the monthly special—a vegan burger! We ordered several dishes that came out together and were absolutely delicious. I was very impressed by the quality of the food and the exceptional service we received. Mimi checked in to ensure everything was to our liking. Overall, we had a fantastic experience and I would definitely recommend this place!"

"the olive tree was fantastic. it's not cheap, but it was just worth every penny. the staff was very attentive to the needs of nutrition, and only in general attentive, polite and well maintained. the service was amazing, and it was clearly very important for the staff. They served us a wee less than a minute later than intended and could not have been more apologetic, even give us a little extra wee, and then a pointed (although deserved) at the end of the evening! the atmosphere was really nice. it managed to be cool and modern while still cozy and warm. the food was ineffective. the bets for us were the sommelier. he loved wein and his passion was infectious and it was more great wein! so well we have forgotten to ask for the names of those we really liked. oops!"

"The venue itself is beautiful. Really lovely pub as so many are in Bath. Unfortunately the reception we had from the girl on the bar downstairs was unfriendly, boarding on rude. Had to wait for our table which was 20 mins late, which I understand on a busy Sunday is often the case not easy to turn the tables. Roast dinners were okay, nice Yorkshire pudding which came regardless of what meat you ordered which is a nice touch. We ordered the extra potatoes at nearly £5 which was a little pricey. Out of 5 puddings, only 2 were available. Again they were fine but nothing more than that. For two people, both having two courses and a pint and a half of Pepsi each nearly £90 stung a bit."

"This restaurant was absolutely worth 5 stars! The outstanding service, the fabulous food and the stunning location with views of Pulteney Bridge and the River Avon. The inside of the restaurant had beautiful beams and fairy lights too. I had the lamb ragu which was cooked to perfection, the lamb fell apart in my mouth and the pasta was al dente, the sauce and portion size was perfect! My husband loved the pork and my son also loved his pizza, we tried bits of eachothers and agreed this was definitely some of the best food we have eaten. We also had the selection of meats and cheese, olives and bread which was excellent. The calamari and monkfish was delicious and again portion size was spot on. The chocolate souffle was cooked perfectly too. The chefs did a fantastic job with the food and should be commended !"

"We came here on a bit of a whim, owing to its central location right next to the Baths. Having not booked we were greeted warmly and offered a table near the stage. It was wonderful to be able to hear the musicians so well but it wasn’t so loud as to be overly distracting and we were still able to converse and enjoy our afternoon tea with this accompaniment. The room itself deserves comment too- absolutely beautiful, it feels like a decidedly appropriate setting for a grand afternoon tea. The food itself was delicious. Sandwiches, savouries and cakes were almost perfect and you could taste their quality. When you’re presented with an afternoon tea it always feels you’re being ripped off, as though there is very little food for your money but, as ever, it was very filling and just the right amount of food. The quality and attention to detail further justifies the price for me. After our warm welcome the service deteriorated a little as well. It was nigh impossible to get a second pot of tea/ some hot water and when I did manage to ask it was treated almost as an imposition. It also took us an age to be able to pay the bill- although I could have happily sat in that splendour all afternoon."

"My friend l have been meeting in the Pulteney cafe for about a year, to have morning coffee arriving back later for lunch we have always been greeted in a friendly welcoming manner, by ‘ Meedo’ until yesterday, when l arrived before my friend, l asked for a coffee, but was told by a very aggressive rude man, l couldn’t have coffee or tea unless l was having breakfast. His whole manner was disgusting!! My friend l came back a short while later as she couldn’t believe it….As we told him in a polite way it’s ridiculous it’s on the window that they serve tea coffee…..how he spoke to us was shocking, saying he was the manager he’ll do as he likes told us to get out …Why is he even running a cafe’ if not to put money in the til, absolutely no manners, whatsoever, made us wonder if he dared speak to a man like that !! So was so pleased to read that many others experienced the same…..We went across the road to The Bridge Cafe what a difference, excellent restaurants cafes in Bath to visit, as Bath residents ourselves, awful to think people visiting are treated by an arrogant person like him !!!!!!"

"Comptoir is one of my favorite restaurants in Bath. Having visited Beirut frequently, I can say that Comptoir's food is authentic, fresh, and incredibly tasty. It reminds me so much of Lebanon. When my parents visited Bath, I took them to Comptoir. My Dad, who used to fly in and out of Beirut and eat there all the time, was very impressed by the food. This is a fantastic endorsement for the delicious taste of authentic Lebanese cuisine. We are lucky to live nearby and can enjoy dining there regularly. The staff is excellent and the restaurant is always fresh, clean, and lively. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed with a warm greeting and a vibrant ambiance that transports you to a different world. I highly recommend trying Comptoir - you won't be disappointed."

"Me and my partner decided to stop off in Bath after a weekend away and we were both very eager for a Sunday roast. After scrawling Bath's reddit page we stumbled on Chequers which definitely lived up to expectations. We grazed on Scallops for starters (which were eaten too quickly for a picture to be taken) which were incredibly succulent and had a lovely garlic butter glaze. My partner is only really a fan of Chicken in a roast so to have this was a big win as it's not often pubs do a Chicken roast. All the food was delicious and the servers were polite and efficient. Only downside is we had planned to sit in the pub and have a few drinks before our meal as we didn't really know the area but as it's quite small there was no space to acommodate us. Definitely worth a visit."

"Dough is a pizzeria/restaurant run by Italians in the center of Bath. With many options for celiac, vegetarians and vegans, nobody will be disappointed; you can even choose the type of dough! They have white flour, whole wheat flour, corn flour… and the list goes on! During weekend it can get pretty busy, but even without a booking, they can find you a table in 10 minutes. The stuffed eggplant with tomato sauce was simply delicious, the sauce reminded me of the summers I spent with my brother at my grandma’s house, when after the beach, she was always making a simple pasta al sugo for lunch, with her tomato sauce that no one could ever match! If you are going to Dough you must try their pizza, period. The pizza parcel is filled with grilled zucchini, aubergines and vegetable cheese. The pizza dough is stone baked and crunchy at the ends and the melted cheese is to die for. Also, the prices are affordable and if you have a reusable bottle, they will refill it for you. Let’s hope they will open in London soon!"

"I was in Bath for the weekend with my family and we decided to order an Indian takeaway from Ruposhi on Saturday evening. The restaurant was only a 2-minute walk from where we were staying, so we decided to give it a try based on its reputation as the best in Bath. Unfortunately, the experience fell short of our expectations. We had to wait for 2 hours for our food, which we were picking up ourselves, not waiting for a delivery. The quality of the food did not make up for the wait - the naan bread was burnt and tasteless, and the rest of the meal was lackluster. In my opinion, Ruposhi could learn a thing or two from Indian restaurants in Birmingham."

"Booked online as we had been gifted a voucher for afternoon tea. Arrived and were asked to find a small table and seat ourselves, told a member of staff would be with us shortly. After 25 mins nothing and my husband had to approach person who appeared to be running the outdoor service. He admitted that we had been forgotten. Our hot drinks order was taken and we were encouraged to view the extra drink menu. Our afternoon tea arrived and was delicious. At no point did anyone come to take a further drinks order and again we had to approach staff. The bill arrived promptly enough and had to explain the voucher as there was apparently to evidence of email and staff on duty communications. Sadly this marred our visit, as service was distinctly lacking!"

"This was an incredible experience! Despite our limited time for lunch, the staff at the restaurant were fantastic and accommodating. I have celiac disease and they were very attentive to my dietary needs. The risotto was the best I've ever had, and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his steak. A big thank you to the staff for a wonderful meal!"

"Bit sad to write this. Was not a great meal. Deliberately chose to support a local independent rather than a chain. Was v quiet. Great menu and lots of specials. Waiting staff very friendly and efficient. Food was just v average. Crackers tasted refried, fish cakes were tiny and tasted frozen. Lots of pineapple .. even in the rice.. Other food was serviceable and edible but we left a lot and not cos we weren't hungry. I hope it was just an off night because I really want these kind of places to stay open. Must be **** tough running a restaurant at the moment and for that reason I would return to give it a second chance despite the somewhat underwhelming initial experience."

"the hotel is located in a small street right in front of the capital, yen sushi was a great foundation. the staff was very friendly. eating is great and just like some other sushi restaurants, depending on the color of the plate they pick up, it determines the price. for me and mt partner we have spent 50 pfunds. the quality of eating was great, although I felt that some dishes were not great or consistent. they can also order hot food, the only thing I thought was strange is that the waitress empty teller would bring with their hot food to represent his worth, instead of just making a note on the table that took place on the table, which then made it a little tight for others. despite the above one still a great visit. they'll be sure if they want it. if their regular sushi eater, they can lack the fish in quality."
"Once up the stairs, you are greeted by a well appointed restaurant with great views of the Abbey which looked especially good lit up at night. There is a separate vegan menu and you are struck immediately by the reasonable prices. The onion Bhaji to start was superb. Rather than the usual ball, they came in strips which meant they were really crispy and avoided the chickpea flour goo you sometimes get in Bhajis. The accompanying chutney was also delicious. The menu said there was kale in the bhajis and although there were flecks of green, I’m not sure it added a huge amount but that is a minor issue when the dish is so delicious. The bhel puri was a very large portion and although I enjoyed it, it could have done with some peanuts, potato and onion as is usually in the bhel puri I have had in the past. A bit more tamarind sauce would also have lifted the dish. These small issues were forgotten once the outstanding mains were tasted. The masala dosa was perfect; Crisp pancake, soft, well spiced potato interior and tasty chutney and curry sauce. The baby aubergine curry was fantastic, a subtle but rich sauce that complimented the creamy aubergine. The paratha was flakey and perfect for mopping up the outstanding sauce. An excellent meal."

"we really enjoyed our meal here. came to celebrate our 9th anniversary. Unfortunately, we were not told during our booking that we would only have 90 minutes of the table, as we felt in a hurry and on cursing a bad decision from the office hardly jumped fair on the staff. my main meal was pork belly it was divine 10/10 my man had the rib and he was very happy with him cooked to his lust. I decided for the mont blanc from the festive menu for dessert it was such a disappointment 1/10 bought in meringue very small chestnut and saw chocolate drops that were more like what they melted down for tempting. cote should improve or take it from the menu. I have let the server know of my unmut, unfortunately I have paid the full price for it. our drinks were well made and the wee was excellent, the employees were very friendly and efficient, especially the cookies served. so close to getting 5 stars."

"we are here last night and it was nice eating, friendly staff. we both had curry one was disappointed and the other was lammed and I can not recommend both of these dishes enough. the kokosreis was absolutely delicious and the cracker for the table when we arrived were fantastic. the beer was very beautiful and the music was beautiful and not too loud. the atmosphere was really nice and the restaurant was not very busy when we were there and so there was not much noise, which meant that our meals could be enjoyed."
