I have been visiting this place for many years, almost all the time it has been open as owned and operated by an old family friend (of my late Uncle). Still a family business even now.
The place has a changed a little over the years, expanded, redecorated, no more central fountain with the fish. The frontage can now open up in the summer if needed.
What hasn’t changed is the excellent food and drink and hospitality, one is always welcome. Whether on my own or with family.
I can particularly recommend the fish, steaks, All in One omelette (yummy and very filling) and the Stifadho. The latter is just melt in the mouth.
Plenty of beers and lagers on draught or bottled, a particular highlight I note and soft drinks, cocktails, wines and spirits.
There is an early bird menu with reduced size portions at a fixed cheaper price from earlier in the day to evening. A lunch menu and the main menu. I can also recommend the Sunday Roast and the Xmas menu too.
The layout is the same, bar off to the right centre, kitchen at back, toilets off to the left and right at the back and the seating arranged in the rest.
Toilets are compact yet immaculate. Screens are available to watch Sky now and a sound system is in place to be used if needed. Never had a problem with the seating, comfortable, importantly plenty of room, never cramped.
Always a pleasant atmosphere, no rush, one is always welcome, no trouble. A nice place to have a meal, a calm respite from outside.
Several dishes are old family recipes which is a nice touch.
In one, if you hadn’t realised already this is my favourite restaurant.
In Bristol or visiting Bristol, this is the place to visit to dine out.
Certainly, and still the best Restaurant in Bristol for the past 40 years...
Read moreWent in here for my first time on saturday night , shown to our seat as we pre booked a table sat there 10 mins so went to order our own drinks at the bar , the manager? seemed intent on shouting at one of the waiters and wasnt shy about it (not very professional),ordered a large diet coke went back to the table only to find out they sell pints ! So we ordered our food and it came out all ok fair sized portions for the money , the night went on and we ordered desert i had a fudge cake (small portions) upon leaving the restaurant didnt feel that great , me and the wife both had sickness and diarrhea all that night also the other guests we had our meal with suffered the same fait (we all had different dishes) so something here was amiss maybe a one off but i wouldnt be going back to find out , the place its self didnt have a great atmosphere and just seemed to lack character and the waiter was ignorant/very blunt seemed more interested on the football on the telly than the customer service he should of...
Read moreAll in one? Bad service, horrible staff and even worse food, this is All in one. We arrived to the restaurant on a Friday(29/03/19) around 11pm. An older gentleman (maybe manager) asked, if we want to eat as well and before we could even answer the question, a member of staff was whispering "noooo". I was thinking to immediately leave the place, but we didn't want to eat at any kebab place as it was cold. We got the food. 3 burgers. Cold, uncooked, soaky bread.. Meanwhile the same waiter who clearly didn't want us there started snapping his fingers, just to give us the sign that is time to leave. My girlfriend went to pay the bill. It was nearly £60. The same person didn't even want to give back any change. Probably he was expecting for tips, but I don't know why.. Clearly it was a big suffer for him to work there....
