We had a lovely meal here last night. I had steak and red wine jus, my husband had the maple and bacon burger. Tastiest food in the area, attentive staff, friendly and welcoming. We were staying 1 night on the Marina and definitely chose wisely where to eat! Great menu, service and atmosphere.

Lovely visit to the bistro. Great service from a charming waiter Unusually I went vegetarian. Creamy arancini followed by wild mushroom gnocchi. Perfect lunch. Dessert was a molten mocha skillet. Can’t describe it. You’re just going to have to order it!

High expectations that fell super short. On arrival after ensuring we had booked the conservatory we got told the only table available was one right by the front door which was consistently in use due to people waiting for tables and to be seated. We were then told we could wait upstairs in the wine room for a table instead but we would have to check if it was open as it was closed for a private function earlier. We were provided a table in the conservatory which we were told was not available yet nobody had left the restaurant in this time. Beers were labelled at 660ml but we were provided with 330ml and told it was a typo on the menu. On ordering food we were asked to hurry due to the kitchen closing in half an hours time. No allergy requests were asked which my partner has a nut allergy. Whilst waiting for our starters the table behind us was provided with there starter in front of them which was wrong and sent back for it to then placed in front of ourselves. When questioned the managers response was she didn't touch it and deemed this as acceptable. On a fresh starter arriving of scallops and chorizo, I cannot complain about this as was amazing and very tasty. 2 burgers were ordered after much disappointment the ribeye on the bone for 2, shown on the online menu was no longer on it. We were asked how we would like our burgers cooked, either pink or well done. Both of us asked for pink. On delivery of our burger it was well done and when questioned once again, managers response was that's how our chefs cook it and some staff haven't been updated on this fact. On this fact we stated that a well done burger is not what we ordered she just walked away. Unable to finish the burger due to it being dry and lacking in moisture a pink burger would provide, although exceptionally hungry was just shrugged off. We were asked if we wanted dessert menus and when we said no was left for 15 minutes where 2 members of staff at different times removed vinegar and condiments, alongside empty drink bottles of the table with no interaction. On getting the attention of a waitress and asking for the bill it was clear there was no intentions of an apology. People around seemed to off been intently looked after and provided extras and seemed like these people were clearly regulars who are given more attention than others. This was noted by a few others who had entered the restaurant at the same time. We went here with the amazing reviews and what seemed to be good food but apart from the scallops starter the food was sub par for the price and attention to details, customer service and general attitude was down right appalling. It could of been an evening of clear disaster as celebrating a Christmas meal together as a limited time available alone but we were able to laugh it off but no compensation was given or even a apology for the situation. Disappointed, and let down. Will not return.

We visited this restaurant for a friends Christmas catch up. Party of 6. Our orders were requested prior to the booking via email. The requirement was intimated that it was a set 2 or three course lunch. Ranging to £38.50 for set three course. Upon various telephone calls to the restaurant, it was actually advised, we could, on the day, select from a very limited a la cart menu. 6 such pre orders were supplied. On the day, food, service were average. When we requested the bill, it didn’t add up correctly. 7 covers were charged, but, charged in a confusing way, as to purposely deceive us. The bill was contested at the time. We were advised, ‘the till doesn’t lie’. The bill was settled in full, despite awkward confrontation with staff. Upon leaving, and assessing the bill in depth, the ‘OVERCHARGING’ was established. We have emailed several times, called numerous times. Not one person within the staff can answer our questions!! So, I’m short, if you are prepared for sub standard food, poor service and would enjoy being overcharged the BISTRO ON THE QUAY in Ipswich is the place for you.

We have eaten at this fabulous restaurant on many occasions, and all I can say is this is just a gift that keeps on giving… Our latest visit was a Wednesday lunchtime, the restaurant was busy but it didn’t affect our experience, it was perfect in fact! We opted out for a beetroot starter to share, this was the prettiest plate of food I have ever seen in my life! For mains we had the duck and pork belly. Both were beautifully presented, flavoursome and cooked to perfection! Service was friendly and efficient, as always! The owner is very knowledgeable and passionate. And the young lady who served us (I think she said her name was Vlada) was very attentive, helpful and chatty! Thank you, Bistro On The Quay! We can not wait to visit again VERY soon!

This had become a regular Saturday pre football match eating spot for us. Right on ipswich waterfront. Nice range of food. Well cooked, presented and tasty, reasonable prices too. We typically spend about £20-£25 per head for main meal, couple of drinks and shared dessert including a tip. We left a very positive review last year. However, been back a couple of times this season but sadly been disappointed. Two occasions - both Saturday lunchtime - the service was poor and the food service slower than previously experienced. The new staff appeared more interested in socialising amongst themselves than checking on customers). Maybe just a Saturday thing. Will try once more as we just so loved it at our earlier visits and the food is good. Interested to see how others feel. Hopefully just an off day for us.

This place has a lovely atmosphere and friendly service. However, the food was mediocre. The portions seemed quite mean - the hake dish had a small portion of fish, it was accompanied by crushed potatoes, samphire, sliced fennel and braised chicory. Most of the dish was potatoes, there was hardly any samphire, the chicory was nice and the fennel added a nice texture. It did seem, though, that they were bulking out with potatoes and cutting the more expensive ingredients down to tiny portions. I would rather pay a bit more and have a property balanced meal than fill up on potatoes. It was also not hot when it arrived.

A really nicely presented restaurant with friendly staff. Coeliacs need to beware of choosing from the “gluten free” menu though as it offered options to include chips. Luckily I double checked whether they were cooked in non contaminated oil. The waitress “thought” so but did check when I explained I needed to know for sure. She returned to say no - other items were cooked in the same oil. Could have made me very I’ll but not quite sure they understood or would be like to change their menu. The food was good though and a nice atmosphere.

Water was brought to our table whilst we were looking at the menu. Head Chef came out to speak to us which was a lovely touch. Food was amazing, service was impeccable and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, will certainly return. Thank you

We booked at this restaurant for dinner and there was 4 of us. We each had a main course follwed by dessert. Soon afterwards we all fell very ill! al of us with the same stomach cramps followed by lots of toilet visits.. 3 of us had to have the day off work the following day because we just could not get off the toilet. the only thing it could have been was the Mac N Cheese as we all had that with our main courses. I emailed the restauant the next day to explain and complain but they said after a thorough investigation they could not find fault in the kitchen and just sent me on my way completely disreguarding the fact that i had made a complaint. the food tasted good, couldnt deny that - and althought the stench of the cheese runs through the restaurant and is really off putting it did not stop us from enjoying the food at the time. I am just generally appalled at the way they have responded to us (both the manager Magdalena and also the Director Julien Jourdain) after explaining that we were all unwell after eating at this restaurant and I would have expected more from them. I will never go back here and nor will my friends and we have been left pretty disappointed by the experience.

I have been to this restaurant several in the past and it’s always been excellent. I went last Wednesday and the service was appalling, incredibly slow. I was told they were short-staffed and had an event upstairs. I was dining alone, and yet I was there well over 2 hours. Others at an adjacent table commented on te poor service I was receiving. They were a group like others there and these groups appeared to get priority The menu was OK but not nearly as good when under different management/ownership. When I arrived I spoke to a member of staff. He turned away from me which I found rude. It transpired that he was new. Care there needs to be taken that new staff have adequate induction. A mistake was made with my bill, appallIng! ? Another new member of staff

The food was very tasty ,we all enjoyed what we had .However I don't know if the staff were having a bad day other than the young bloke the rest of them took forever to come to us ,had absolutely no front of house skills ,no manors and completely ignored when I'd asked politely how long my meal was going to be. I caught them outside using their mobiles and seemed to be going between the restaurant and the boat restaurant, so not sure if they're now owned by the se people but maybe they need more staff if they are. I've never felt the need to right a bad review but the front of house made me feel awful for asking anything and you don't pay good money to be treated like that. I couldn't fault the kitchen staff for their food though

Visited last night, I had the lamb and my partner had the beetroot risotto. Both were cooked impeccably, service was great. Wine (Chardonnay) and pudding (sticky toffee pudding & a cheese board) were also fantastic. Couldn’t fault the place. It was the first time we’d been out for dinner in at least 18 months and will be coming back. Only downside is there was limited vegetarian options, but that’s to be expected with the cuisine. Special mention to the male waiter with the ponytail/bun, he said he’d only worked there a couple of weeks but you couldn’t tell. Great service.

We expected so much from the bistro having had amazing experiences at the mariner's and the wine boutique it was a real disappointment. We had gone in on a Tuesday and ordered drinks and their raclette burgers. The drinks came quite quickly but the food took thirty minutes and we couldn't flag down anyone to ask. When it did turn up we were told sorry there was a problem in the kitchen. Unfortunately the burgers did not live up to the long wait. The chunky chips were thrown haphazardly on the plate and each of us had varying portion sizes , the burger was served open and the top part of the bun had a very lonely lettuce leaf and no sauce or mayo or anything and looked quite sad and when we flipped the buns over all three were burnt two of them were so black they were inedible.... The other half of the burger had sweetcorn relish in a less than appealing shape and colour and was a bit lack lustre. The half we had and the chips tasted alright but nothing amazing. When asked how the food was we mentioned the buns and we were asked if we wanted new buns but we didn't want to wait as we had already waited so long. Unfortunately we didn't get time for desserts as we had something to get to and service had taken too long. At the end of the meal when the bill came there was no further apology or attempt to make what was unfortunately a disappointing meal better. Hopefully next time will live up to the standard of Julian's other establishments.

This is a wonderful restaurant owned and run by French chef who knows the business inside and out! Dishes have a French influence and are creative, delicious, and all freshly cooked. There is a set price menu as well as a la carte, good choices on both, selections can be made from both menus, which is a good idea. There is a very good wine and drinks list. Wine is available by the glass as well as in bottles. Upstairs, there is a wine boutique where wine and other drinks can be bought at shop prices to take away. Outdoor seating on the quayside available too. Service is very professional and friendly. We've been eating here for many years and have not been disappointed. Our only problem is that the Mariners Boat Restaurant is opposite Bistro which is a stunning and historical boat, kept beautifully and with authentic decor. The boat is also owned by M. Jourdain so expect the best in a unique setting. We alternate between the two restaurants. We can't recommend either venue highly enough. Nothing else in Ipswich comes close, and of course the location is very special. Thank you to all the staff for all our wonderful meals.

Went there for lunch. Greeted by a very surely young lady. Ordered drinks, G & T v poor, two ice cubes which melted in minutes and tonic was flat. Be Asked if we could have a drink outside and maybe eat outside. Went upstairs to use the ladies only to be greeted by a member of the kitchen staff holding a bag of frozen chips who was coming down the stairs. I waited for him to come down rather than squeeze past on the stairwell. . I didn’t get a thank you, a smile or anything and I thought how rude I hope this isn’t a sign of things to come!! Asked if we could have an umbrella up and was told it was to windy. The wind was very light. All the other Restaurants along the quay had umbrellas up so unsure what the problem was. They were quite rude. Due to their attitude we paid for our drinks and went to Issac’s and were greeted warmly. You could leArn a lesson from their approach. Restaurant was completely empty outside and 1 table occupied inside, with this attitude I’m not surprised!

Bistro on the Quay is always a favourite gem! We popped by for lunch and the service was friendly with big smiles and welcoming hellos. Seated on the busy terrace, we enjoyed the scenic views of the marina. Some of our group ordered a few items from the new brunch menu which were very tasty. We have to say the crab cake starters and the classic fish'N'chips were delicious. The staff were very attentive and we look forward to our next dining experience here.

We went last night for a big group meal and I left feeling disappointed. We were not made to feel welcome, and a very rude gentleman served us as if he didnt want us there. He delivered the wrong wine to the table, opened the prosecco and then when we mentioned it was normal rose not prosecco rose that we ordered, and he tried to argue with us saying we ordered the prosecco. Then proceeded to make a huge spectacle of checking that the bottles hadn't been drunk from whilst he carried them out. No water or wine was poured for us, simply plonked on the table which is fine for a pub but not a nice restaurant. We pre ordered food as we were a large group, and they weren't aware and asked for our order until we told them to check their email. When the mains came, a few of us had ordered sea bass, and were brought out Tuna steak. Apparently the other waiter was meant to mention that they didnt have any seabass! My main was delicious even though it wasnt what I ordered and I really enjoyed the food. And my dessert was divine. We also asked for more water for the table, and it didnt arrive until we asked again. None of the staff were attentive and we weren't made to feel welcome. Even though I thought the food was good the service was SO poor I won't be hurrying back. They were surprised we took the service charge off!!

This place is just stunning! If you are in Ipswich you need to stop at this lovely Bistro. The view is lovely, if you are lucky enough you will sit next to the window and you will have a lovely meal with the waterfront view. Let’s talk about the main thing: FOOD! What I can say, the best quality you can get in town, they have a fantastic chef as the plate a quite elaborate and it is something you usually can’t find in most of the restaurants. We had a brunch and the quality pf the food was better than other place around. If you love the cheese 🧀 have a look of the video 😍 We didn’t plan to get a dessert, but I did spot on the menu a dessert that did catch us: THE PISTACHIO AND FIG MILLEFEUILLE. Honestly this dessert was an emotional experience, it is a plated dessert with a mix of ingredients that all together were just STUNNING! Plus of this place: they got my favourite dessert wine RECIOTO DELLA VAL POLICELLA. If you love red sweet wine you need to try it 🍷 Service was lovely, they are really friendly and good attention to details. I love the fact that they have proper napkins not the paper one. Last the prices are really good considering the quality of food and the service. Well done to this Bistro 👍🏻❤️

Had a nice meal but the menu listed a Raclette with new potatoes, cured meats, salad and unlimited Cheese. £23. One member of our group ordered this expecting a Raclette....what arrived was far from it. 6 slices of Salami, a small green salad and 4...

Amazing food, Disappointing choice on the menu. Menu’s need more choice, I don’t need a book of choices but 4/5 options for each isn’t much, but also physically need changing, tatty, sticky and damaged, tables were also sticky. Went for the steak and I have to say the meat, dip and chips were incredible, presentation was average for £28, the salad and one slice of tomato looked very sad. My take is, amazing quality of food, slightly let down by lack of choice across starters, mains and deserts and a few small tweaks to presentation of food, tables and table where. Paid £85 but didn’t have a starter and could have easily not had a desert due to lack of choice, had there been more choice bill would have been over £100, so it makes sense to have a bit more variety.

Small and cosy, lovely food and attentive staff. We went for a staff Christmas meal and had a good evening. The only disappointment was the seating plan. We were spread over 4 different tables, just not ideal to be split. However, due to the number of us, the restaurant couldn't have done it any other way.

We had our Christmas meal here last night and we were a table of 6. The food was amazing! Christmas meals can sometimes be hit or miss, but here it was a massive hit! The beef in particular was melt in the mouth delicious! The serving staff are fantastic, they are engaging and friendly and helped round off an awesome night. I’d highly recommend this place and can’t wait to go back!

At short notice decided to eat out on the way to King Street Cinema. Phoned the restaurant and they had space but requested we clear by 8pm, which suited fine. We had a fantastic meal, very tasty including the vegetarian option - what made it...

We arrived without a booking on a Saturday evening at 6.45 and were offered a table provided we were clear by 8.0 pm. We just had main course and coffee which were promptly served. Probably the best haddock and chips I have ever had! Most...

What a wonderful dining experience. Having never eaten in I-switch it seemed ideal for our desire to eat near the Marina. We were not disappointed. I ordered the Raclette and as they said the cheese was never ending. I was full before they ran out....

I recently had the chance to have an evening meal with my colleagues at this restaurant. We pre booked our meal choices and we were happy that the staff had our meal choices printout ready. These are small things but they add up to the food quality and service. The starter was a cheese based one(forgot the name, it sounded more French than English) and I felt almost full after this. When the main dish came, I couldn't complete it fully even though it was really good. We then finished off the meal with a dessert. Overall a great evening and great food.

Liked the sound of this after looking through reviews of good restaurants on Trip Advisor. We were not disappointed! The food was sublime and we were in total food heaven. Scallops and chicken to start with were beautifully cooked and bursting with flavour, and my...

The service was excruciatingly slow and the food was sub par as well as positions being small. However what I got did task good other than the raw duck egg. I got the Parmesan Gnocci (overpriced) However despite the slow service the staff seemed very nice which I must commend. And no it wasn’t particularly busy either.

My favourite place to eat.or it used to be until they started requiring bank card details in order to secure a reservation..I have never been asked to do this in any other restaurant and I eat out regularly.so am afraid I won't be eating here again and will not recommend to anyone else on this basis alone..extremely dissapointed
