The Bristol Bar And Grille

Service great. Atmosphere great. Food good but expected more ingredients & less pasta considering the price. The wontons are delicious. The creamy guacamole is amazing. The linguine pietro is good. It was just light on the mushroom slices, sun-dried tomatoes, & capers- I think garlic was missing. It was an event weekend & they were very busy - so very possible I didn't get the best serving. All things considered, we would definitely return, especially on a non-event night.

We went for Thanksgiving buffet, the food offered was a mix of creative and traditional, the strawberry mix salad ,grilled Atlantic salmon ,and peeled shrimp were exceptional. A few of the more traditional Thanksgiving fares were a little bland for me , but serving a broad audience probably limits the amount of seasoning . The service was helpful and thoughtful, the atmosphere and decor was excellent. Highly recommend

I had an early lunch and the service people are so pleasant at the Bristol. I especially enjoyed the clam chowder which I would call it a Cajun chowder. Some celery, onions, potatoes and clams ion a spicy but not hot broth. Dinner rolls fresh out of the oven. The featured Chardonnay and crabcake were also very good. I live out of town but I certainly enjoy the Bristol when I have the opportunity

We arrived just as the Bristol opened (we like to eat early), so there wasn't a big crowd and lots of staff was available. We were greeted with a smile and eye contact, and seated right away. We had our pick of tables and chose one right by the window with the sun shining through. Our server was also smiling (a great sign) and answered our questions while getting our order. Drinks and appetizer were delivered very quickly. Loved the artichoke fritters. I'm a conch fritter fan, but really liked these - deep fried to perfection, the artichoke was moist and melted in my mouth once I crunched through the breading - tasted great, looked great. Our server took our orders and refilled our drinks. We got some fresh warm bread with our appetizers - I could have filled up on the bread, it was wonderful. I got a steak sandwich and my wife ordered the Linguine Giovanni; she really wanted chicken parmesan so they dressed it up and give her some extra parmesan cheese. Loved everything we ate. Especially impressed with how they accommodated my wife even though she wanted something that wasn't on the menu. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating, the restaurant is clean and well maintained. It is an older building and definitely has some character. A great place for drinks and dinner, we will be back!
