Ricks Bar — Restaurant in Bristol

Has potential but needs better training for the staff. Took 25 mins after being seated to receive a menu, it was reasonably busy, maybe 75% of the outside tables were occupied but no one inside. The staff that seemed to be allocated inside were stood around doing nothing whilst the 2 guys waiting outside were busy yet not very attentive. Ordered steak and we were not asked how we would like it cooked. Steak knives didn't come out until the food was cold. Which is a real shame as the chips were delicious and the steak was tasty when we finally got to eat it. Took 20 mins to receive an ashtray after asking and the dirty plates remained on the table for the half hour after our food was finished. Empty glasses on the table and no offer made for another drink . Planned to stay for cocktail after the food but everything Took so long we went some where else instead. Overall the price for the food was okay but considering the service it was not worth the wait or the money spent with that in mind. The whole meal Took nearly 2 hours and in that time we had one course and one pint. Doubt we...

We came here for drinks and food for a birthday.

Food was actually really nice, combined with the drinks, we really enjoyed this although the kitchen was closed so the menu was limited (and some of things we ordered were not available)

That being said, the waitress was rude and dismissive combined with a really lacking knowledge of drinks and food menu, and when we brought this up, we were told “this is an expensive place” as if we shouldn’t make a complaint with her attitude or knowledge! It being expensive should make it even more of a reason to raise her attitude!

Actually really disappointing as visually and quality of food was good, I wouldnt return with the attitude the waitress had as it just belittled the fact we paid £15 service charge to have that...

Looked beautiful from the outside and got me eager to visit it. Came here for Sunday brunch and ordered the strawberry daiquiri and an aubergine shakshouka. Unfortunately, the food was very mid. The eggs were heavily overcooked, and I could barely break through them. Despite not giving any specific instructions for how I wanted my eggs to be, I believe there’s a difference between done, well done and so cooked you can barely chew. (And I assumed they’d be soft and gooey by default?)

It was probably just the one dish that was a miss but I’m not sure if I’m willing to pay that price again for food that’s way below average.

The music was nice, they played delightful covers of the good-old classics but it was so loud, we struggled to have a conversation at our...
