The restaurant itself it’s very decent. There were three people in the middle of the dinning area and another two at the end of the bench. All were drinking.
When we arrived ( my parents and I), it’s about 15:00. We were there a bit late for lunch. Pick this place as they got quite good google review. When we went in, we asked if we want to eat or just to drink. We wanted some food and given a menu.
Since my dad has no upper teeth and with a series of food allergy that only gluten-free and soft food could satisfy his stomach. We could not expect every single restaurant could have provision satisfying his condition. Therefore, we always bring him a flask of soft hot food.
After ordered food for my mum and myself, my dad started drinking his own food. The customer, sitting in the middle, started ridicule us with the chef. His voice is loud enough that we could not avoid hearing. The chef himself is nice. (He didn’t say anything bad to embarrass us. 🙏🏼). In the meantime, my dad got choked. The lady asked the chef to give us some tissue to clean up the area. We at the same time apologised for the mess we caused. She said “you know you could leave me anything “. 🙂 what a heartfelt answer 🙃
After my dad finished his “drink”, he went outside to wait for us to avoid being stared by the customers even it was jus 2degC outside.
We ordered a flat iron steak with chips and a linguine diavola. A pot of tea and a double espresso. The flat iron is just well made as medium rare. But there were too much salt on the chips. The linguine is a bit sour to me while the sauce seems open from can. The double espresso is a decent one for me.
May be with my dad situation. We should not be dinning in a restaurant. We should just grab some sandwich and picnic in the park to avoid British old men (yes, is men not man) laughing at us in a public area.
Oh yes, with this service they charge 12.5% of services charge. It’s optional. But at the case that my dad didn’t order anything from the restaurant. We are so much willing to pay for the service charges as tipping. But this kind of services… (provided that this is not stated on the menu) …… absolutely not worth any service charge 🙂 thank you. It does widen...
Read moreWe were on our first visit to Bath and enjoyed a delicious late morning coffee seated outdoors. During this well needed coffee break we perused the menu and observed delicious food being served for lunch. Although there is a plethora of restaurants in Bath we decided to return for dinner. My husband had the salmon terrine and steak on the specials board. I enjoyed the delicious prawns and morrocan ox cheek which was rich and wholesome. The waiter Ishmael although his first day was friendy and attentive. We had such a lovely relaxing meal with drinks the perfect end to the day.after a busy day. Our server Ishmael although only on his very first shift was friendly, eager and attentive. We were delighted to have chosen this lovely restaurant, the end to a perfect day. As we had been out all day, I had asked to charge my mobile phone, unfortunately I inadvertently left it behind. When I realised this we were almost at our B&B, we were needed it to gain access to the property. My husband rang to inform the owners, Leanne and Simon so that we could return and retreive it. However they offered to kindly drop it off on their way home, this was phenomenal thing to do, not expected and we were extremely grateful and relieved. We hope to return again to the Crescent on our return to Bath and once again thank you for your kindness and...
Read moreSerendipity brought my friend and I to this delightful, intimate restaurant just yards from the Royal Crescent in Bath, where we enjoyed a truly superb lunch. Owners Simon and Leanne have a great line in welcoming banter. From the ground floor space you can watch Simon prepare your food in his neat kitchen. Leanne and Leah look after the service beautifully. The restaurant has been established for a little over a year but the owners have many years experience.
We enjoyed potted salmon and prawn with dill and toasted sourdough, just packed with flavour. Cool and creamy, it was an ideal starter for a warm summer's day. Our main was pan fried cod loin with sweet potato and samphire, we added roasted heritage carrots and tenderstem broccoli. Cooked to order, the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Highly recommend this superb restaurant.
Update: Revisited on another trip to Bath, Leanne and Simon were able to adapt to gluten free dietary needs and we enjoyed a superb lunch. Warm welcome, cosy ambience and beautiful food elegantly presented make this a definite stop whenever I'm...
