    We had a wonderful meal last night to celebrate my other half's birthday. The tasting menu was an incredible feast of flavours and textures, and the wine flight was lovely. The team knew each course inside out and were very friendly and engaging. This was our first visit, and I feel sure we'll be back again soon. A heartily recommended gourmet experience.

    Wow...where should I begin? The tasting menu was a fantastic dining experience...worthy of the celebration of our anniversary for sure. The dishes crescendoed in their excellence...each seemingly better than the last, despite the early courses being wonderful in their own right. Each was a perfectly balanced creation, mixing flavors and textures to perfection. To mention a few specifics (see the photos below, to see how each dish was presented) the hake was simple but overwhelmingly delicious when combined with the smoked roe and butter sauce...just fantastic. The lamb was probably my personal favorite, with the overlapping flavours of the different cuts of lamb, carrot and onion working together soooo well. The execution continued into the desserts...especially the chocolate, miso, sesame creation...mindblowingly good. Every course, while a perfect combination taste-wise, was also creatively built and presented...and the result was definitely worth the effort in the kitchen. We also had the paired wines, all of which had clearly been painstakingly thought through and further enhanced dishes served. Of special note was the Theodora from Austria which, which would not have been our first choice for drinking on its own, was perfectly complimented with Confit kohlrabi. Full credit for the team for getting the wine pairings right...this was as good as it gets. The service was flawless. The venue small but, as a result, kind of intimate. I wouldn’t hesitate to go again but it isn’t cheap...so it’ll only be for special occasions. The easiest 5 star review I have given in ages.

    Recently had a truly excellent meal here to celebrate our engagement. Every course was expertly presented and delicious with good descriptions provided by the waiters. I would highly recommend getting the wine flight as each paired really well with the food. I would say the raw beef, burrata and smoked ox heart was my particular favourite but every course was amazing (all 13 of them!). Our meal took three hours but each course was provided promptly upon finishing the last and really did fly by. We were very full by the end but still managed to finish everything. It's certainly not cheap but definitely worth it for a special occasion.

    Amazing meal! I considered giving 4 stars due to issues at booking around dietary requirements but it was the best meal I’ve ever had and came away full, which isn’t always the case at fancy restaurants! The food was delicious, the service on the evening was so attentive, the staff were knowledgeable and it’s a lovely setting with great atmosphere. The issue we had was that they say they can accommodate for gluten free on their website so my (now fiancé) booked this for the night he was planning to propose, he put in the booking that I am gluten intolerant and did not receive a response. He contacted the restaurant before to confirm they’d seen the dietary requirement and received a response 2 days before, saying they cannot accommodate- this was very stressful. We struggled to find a table somewhere special on a Saturday night at 48 hours’ notice so decided to risk it and hope there wasn’t too much gluten involved (be careful and double check with the restaurant if you have requirements). After all of that stress, they were amazing and adjusted my food, creating my own menu to ensure I could enjoy every course! I would also recommend the wine pairing- amazing! It was a very special meal, just a shame about the stress in the lead up to our visit.

    We’ve had the taster menu a couple of times now and this place is a real treat. Couldn’t fault the food or wine, and almost every bottle that we liked that we checked out on Vivino, cost more than we would ever consider spending on a bottle of wine. This place is a little gem.

    I celebrated my PhD yesterday in this great place. Well it was a tremendous evening and the venue was surely one of the reasons for the outstanding gathering. The team collaborated in a lovely style, the food was tasty and my friends were so overjoyed. We shall definitely come back again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

    Lovely fine dining experience - some very daring choices from the chefs, but ultimately all dishes were a unique experience. Nice journey in flavours. Some very subtle, some quite "explicit" (I'm looking at you, salted caramel truffle!) But all in all well worth it. Price is quite low for what it is. Recommended for a unique occasion.

    Beautiful and interesting food in friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The wine flight was really interesting, the sommelier talked us through the pairings. A gem, highly recommend.

    We had a wonderful experience here for my boyfriend's birthday. The food was absolutely incredible and the service was great too. Beautiful food in an unpretentious and welcoming environment

    The food was good as what one would expect from their reputation and price. I found the service to be lacking. The wait staff were sloppy, at one point almost spilling sauce on my partner. Their explanation of the dishes wasn't great either. They kept giving the wrong description and then correcting themselves, they talked very quickly, and overall didn't seem to care. I was really looking forward to this dinner but left feeling underwhelmed.

    A lovely little gem on Welshback. Innovative, small plates that look as good as they taste. X

    Had a wonderful lunch today to celebrate becoming a U.K. citizen. Set menu was delicious (I had omnivore version and my friend had vegetarian) and at a very reasonable price. Service was excellent as well.

    Very good tasting menu offering and great value for money. Only downside was the gluten free options for my wife were a bit underwhelming. We had booked in advance and some of the courses that we ate were very different for my wife. For example the dessert based on a rhubarb gateau with rhubarb sorbet was just a scoop of sorbet with some fruit gel. Not really a dessert.

    Had a great couple of nights out here. Food is fantastic, wine is great. I always look for that wow moment and something that sticks in my memory and I found one of those here. The little lamb and anchovies lolly pop were just amazing. The passion from the front of house team is on point and really interactive. Good atmosphere and i like to sit at the back of the restaurant looking over the water. I've been a couple of times and will go again.

    Amazing food experience with wine to match. The staff were super welcoming and ensured a great time. I did find their chairs very uncomfortable for such a long time seated which detracted from things slightly

  • 5/5 David C. 11 months ago on Google
    Had the lunch menu with the cheese supplement. What can I say, this was an excellent dining experience and should be tried. Felt like AY offers great value for money, brilliant service and amazing flavours.

    The best restaurant in Bristol at this moment in time. We had our wedding meal at Adelina Yard 5 years ago, and it was already excellent. Since then, Chefs Jamie and Olivia have managed to elevate their menu to a new level. Last evening was truly amazing. Attention to detail and knowledgeable staff have made our experience a memorable one. There was also a good selection of wines to choose from and an option for a wine flight. A big thanks to all the team.

    The place offers a nice variety of fresh food. I like dining here. Staff members are always very friendly, pricing is reasonable and the spot is always clean.

  • 5/5 Mark M. 1 year ago on Google
    Stunning Birthday lunch -very inventive, precise cooking, great relaxed service, with wine flights and knowledgeable yet not over the top explanation of each glass. Highlights ? Aged parmesan sauce, perfectly cooked venison, chicken liver meringue amuse bouche, too many to mention. Pricey but worth it. Best meal in UK for quite a while.

  • 5/5 Andrew K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great evening doing the tasting menu and the pairing menu - some great flavours, dishes and wines. I learned of this restaurant from the chefs appearance on the great British menu and had the opportunity to say hello as well! Very enjoyable

  • 5/5 Carmel H. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb dining experience we had the taster menu with paired wines, every dish was a joy to the tastebuds. We weren't rushed but were gjven lots of information about each dish and the wines. Superb atmosphere beautiful setting, great staff, wonderful chef

  • 5/5 Duncan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome tasting menu. Each dish a microcosm of flavours. As with any tasting menu, lots of small dishes but you end up leaving full up. Great service from the sommelier, giving simple but detailed descriptions of the matched wines and dishes.

  • 5/5 Ashleigh C. 2 years ago on Google
    We dined here last night after seeing one of the Chef Patrons on Great British Menu a few times. We loved the entire experience. The 10 course tasting menu was extremely generous in terms of additional bites. The range of dishes and flavours was unbelievable. One of the highlights for us was the very knowledgeable sommelier called Kenji - whose pairings were extremely well thought out with very interesting wines. Max our waiter was brilliant too! We would come back!

  • 4/5 James L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very pleasant. Relaxing atmosphere. Attentive service. Had the lunch menu with was I think 4 courses. These were all quite small but with layers of flavour. Don’t expect big portions but instead each course is almost like artwork. It’s not cheap however and between two and the wine flight your looking at potentially hundreds £££

  • 5/5 Tim “Manatee” M. 1 year ago on Google
    I've only been here twice, but both times the experience has been incredible. My wife and I had the taster menu with the flight of wine. Not cheap, but definitely worth it for a special occasion or if you want to treat yourself (or someone else). Both the menu and the wines were like nothing I've had before. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Rob M. 2 years ago on Google
    Everything about this experience was wonderful. Service was immaculate and every single dish was incredible. We weren’t expecting Liv the chef to be there actually cooking so my partner was over the moon to see that she was! I guess this just added to the whole experience as well. (Like most chefs that do incredibly well on TV shows, we thought that she’d probably be off on new ventures setting up restaurants in every city)

  • 5/5 Christopher W. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply wonderful meal and wine. Highly recommend the wine flight to try some lovely off menu wines! Great service with friendly team explaining the tasting menu.

  • 5/5 Ece S. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was amazing, don't need to mention about their presentation, it was a kind of art. Friendly and attentive staff.

  • 5/5 Marie H. 2 years ago on Google
    This spot sure knows how to treat their clients. Constantly with a very friendly approach. The food is reasonably priced, constantly fresh and clean.

  • 5/5 Sarah P. 3 years ago on Google
    Fabulous service and waiter knowledge of the plates. Tasting menu out of this world!!

  • 5/5 Martin B. 3 years ago on Google
    Had the 8 course taster menu. Fantastic food with great wine pairings and friendly, knowledgeable staff. Great for date nights.

  • 5/5 Hayley D. 5 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Absolutely beautiful lunch here! Couldn't fault it! The service - fabulous. The food sublime! Usually at the end of a tasting menu we choose best dish and least favourite dish - all were equally exceptional! Cant wait to come back.
