Joya Restaurant in Bath and North East Somerset

We were seated upstairs, which was fine until we sat down and we were sat by a door which was locked, but the draft was ridiculous so we requested could we have another table - we were then re seated downstairs, right by the main entrance which wasnt great as the staff stand there talking and obviously any new people arriving are stood around and the table was really wonky!. The food and service however were very good, steak was simply amazing.

Food and service was amazing may thanks to Jeremy was out of breath in how hard he was working. With also being super attentive to us and all of the over may tables he had.

Absolutely fantastic food and even better service especially from the lovely Bree very accommodating and friendly. Would defo recommend the steak it was one of the best I’ve had anywhere. They were great at fitting us in at such short notice on a Saturday after the first place we booked unexpectedly was closed Enjoy

Ok so this was a bit … unusual It started with ‘what to do for a 65th birthday’ and ended with a Prosecco Cruise, two sightseeing bus tours that took us FROM the hotel TO the Prosecco cruise and back again and before that the question ‘what to do for dinner’ We started with the Calamari which if i’m being honest was a but three star. But the steak ! oh man all is forgiven. My wife chose the hot stone steak. I wimped out and had the chef do mine in the kitchen, and it was done wonderfully, she went the full cave (wo)man with the hot stone finish it off as you like it Unlike a place nearer home that served it pretty much raw, these guys season and seal it and then bring it to you to finish to exactly what you want. And it was wonderful.

My friend Heather and I ate at Joya our first evening in Bath (Thursday) and again the following Saturday. I really suggest making a reservation. Jeremy was our waiter and he took great care of us. They do have great vegetarian options, but if you like steak, they’ve got a treat: you can cook it on a hot stone at your table!!!! Wonderful place, wonderful people, and terrific food!!

Came here for a 30th birthday celebration. I am sad to say it wasn't what I expected. I will start with the food, I was pleasantly surprised and did feel it was great quality. Not the best steak but certainly flavourful and good portion sizes. What really let this place down was the shocking service. We waited almost two hours for our mains to come out, baring in mind we had no starters. Drinks orders messed up and sides on mains missing. Very poor service and not sure I would choose to return.

Absolutely fantastic service from Jeremy, who was incredibly attentive and responsive throughout our dining experience. The cuisine was outstanding, especially with the option of hot stone cooking, a true gem for us Aussies missing that taste of home. Joya perfectly filled that void. The coffee was exceptional, and the lemon tart was simply divine. We're already planning our return visit, leaving feeling thoroughly satisfied.

Joya is in a nice location next to Pulteney bridge. Inside it is very quaint and nicely decorated. I ordered the hot stone steak with onion rings and roast potatoes. The steak was amazing and cooking it myself was a great experience. Paired with the salt, flavoured butter and sauce of your choosing the accompaniments compliment the steak perfectly. The peppercorn sauce was amazing as was the parsley and garlic butter. Jeremy was an amazing server and was friendly and informative throughout. Service was fast. Only complaint would be the mocktail sizes are quite small for the price (£8 for 300ml of mocktail). The mocktail did taste amazing though and this did take away from the amazing experience at all! Would highly recommend!

Chienne was very helpful, service was brilliant, food was lovely! Would definitely visit again! Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Central Bath location, great for lunch with friends after busy shopping morning. Tasty steaks served on Hot stones and salads and sauces and fries. What’s not to like! Friendly service and complimentary limoncello.

All round lovely experience! Staff were attentive, and polite, and a good pace without feeling rushed. Lovely atmosphere, very cosy, but plenty of room without feeling like you’re in other peoples laps. Great steak Experience, being able to finish steak on the hot stone! Beautifully cooked steak also! Lovely presented and tasty food! We sat near the bar, so could see all the drinks being made, and all drinks were bought to us by the Man making the drinks which was a lovely touch! Also special shout out to Jeremy, went out of their way to make me feel special as it was a Birthday event! Also a great location, right on Pulteney bridge! We would definitely return here!

In Bath for a couple days, four of us , booked Joya for my wife’s birthday meal (Sunday evening). Arrived on time and shown to our table on the 1st floor. We were looked after brilliantly by Seb. Starters were fab, I recommend the Arancini. The ladies had risotto and pasta, both excellent . The guys cooked their steaks ( 1 sirloin 1 ribeye) on the hot stones. Enjoyed the experience and would happily come again.

One of the best steaks i’ve ever had! Served by amazing staff, special shout out to Jeremy for being so friendly and attentive and the chef of course for his magic in the kitchen! Can’t recommend enough!

First of all the staff are lovely! They were very attentive, friendly and welcoming. They made the evening really relaxed and enjoyable. The food was divine - we all had fillet steak on the hot stone and it was the best and most delicious steak experience ever. Also great atmosphere and was understandably full on a Friday night. If we lived closer we would come here every week! We will definitely return when we next visit Bath. Thoroughly recommend.

Really nice meal. We both had steaks and they were cooked to our liking. Starters and deserts were really nice as well. Service friendly and attentive.

Totally outstanding, from the welcome to leaving, the staff were excellent, helpful, polite, but not in your face. The food was excellent, I had filter on a hot stone, beautiful. Would go back anytime.

Joya is a gorgeous restaurant in the heart of Bath. The atmosphere is relaxed and cosy but also extremely friendly and buzzy. The food and service are amazing. Highly recommend.

The food was delicious (we enthusiastically ate our steaks so quickly that we forgot to get a photo) and the staff were really friendly …. However the chaos - we were sitting upstairs and sometimes felt forgotten with staff disappearing- there didn’t appear tables allocated for staff to look after - the restaurant wasn’t set up for the hot stones. The room filled with smoke and the only option was opening windows on a cold night. - food was regularly going to the wrong tables All In all though, the food was great, the staff were friendly and the restaurant is very good.

Excellent lunch with first class service. The food was very good with good sized portions. I recommend this restaurant

amazing customer service- making us feel very welcome, food was absolutely outstanding! double checking if we were happy with our food, very respectful too

First time to Bath, chose this restaurant based upon reviews. Not disappointed. The bread and olives starter was great. I chose a flat iron steak with a hot stone. My wife had her ribeye cooked. They were both excellent. I enjoyed the ability to cook my steak to me choice, the hot stone stayed v.hot for the hour. The service was great and the location very central with a number of great bars around.

Loved the hot stone steak! Delicious food, great atmosphere, friendly staff. Oh and perfect cocktails ! A very enjoyable evening!

Had lunch here on a quiet Monday. We both had the steak on the hot rocks. It was a good wheeze to finish off the steak on the hot rock (make sure you add the butter first). All the food we had was of good quality for the price and we enjoyed our meal. Service was friendly and fun. Great views from the front windows. Great option for lunch.

Our second visit to Joya and we were just as impressed as the previous time. Delicious steak, sides and desserts. We also loved our cocktails and the service was excellent. We'll definitely be back again in future!

Superb evening spent at Joya. Food was amazing, steak cooked perfectly and our waitress Chienne was fantastic. Would highly recommend.

Amazing food, very tasty and well presented. 7 of us ordered various items from the menu and everyone was delighted with what they had. Quite smokey from the steaks being cooked, but it wouldn’t put me off going back. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend.

Amazing steak and lovely pasta. Service was good, loved the chili salt and butter, could have done with my peppercorn sauce for my steak though. Nice setting by the river. Would recommend 👌

Our server, Dani, was fantastic. Service was really quick. So many times I've been sat there for 10 minutes just trying to get someone's attention to get the bill, but they were over at the perfect time. Food itself was great, my partner and I had the prime fillet on a hotstone which kept the food warm throughout and was overall a fun experience. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good steak night out,

Our second valentines visit to Joya yesterday and it was absolutely fabulous. As expected it was very busy, but service was perfect, drinks and food arrived swiftly and our server Seb was very attentive and very knowledgeable. The hotstone is a great experience and really worth the visit. We both had three courses and couldn’t fault any of it!

Amazing food and our waiter (Gio) was brilliant. It was pretty busy but we still had great service, definitely worth trying the Hotstone experience.

Joya is a cozy spot to tuck in for a delicious meal away from heavy traffic tourist area. The stone-cooked ribeye was delicious as was the barrata pasta. Service from Seb was exceptional. Would recommend a lunch or dinner at Joya.

Went again on Saturday. Not cheap but lovely family run steakhouse. Attentive service and quality product. Nice atmosphere. One of our go-to restaurants in Bath (along with The Scallop Shell)

My favourite restaurant in Bath. Attended for my partner’s birthday and she loved it and was made to feel special by the establishment. Thank you as always and see you soon

Excellent food, great atmosphere and lovely staff. Experience the sizzle stone when you order your steak! highly recommend, would definitely go back.

Amazing food, brilliant service, all round amazing, we loved absolutely every single minute, thank you to all the team and chefs

Lovely food, fun experience and extremely nice staff who helped make it a very enjoyable evening. We had the hot stone … cook your own steak option, with good quality meat and very tasty salts, butters and sauces. Would recommend … we will return..

Wow, what can I say. This place was a great little find!! I booked after seeing it on a you tube video and we weren’t disappointed. I went for my birthday and the restaurant had a lovely birthday balloon on the table ready for me....

The most perfect restaurant for our honeymoon-meal. Thank you so much, it was absolutely perfect! We talk about this restaurant all the time, whenever we stay in Bath we look forward to booking again!

10/10 service and food would recommend best steak house in bath. Dan gave excellent service and made us laugh. Thank you!

The food was okay, found portions small and pricey, no ambiance/atmosphere; there was cheesy pop playing, and big group of men, looked like stag do came in. Also it is tiny there so tables set really close to each other, like dining with strangers. Unfortunately...

The staff are lovely. The food was really good, although very expensive. As other reviewers have mentioned the smoke from other diners using the hot stones make us feel so bad we left before dessert. There was only 1 table using it and within minutes...

Came here for an anniversary dinner with my partner. We were dressed up and I’d asked for a quiet table but we were sat right next to the door which was a real shame, especially as there were other tables available which would have been...

Absolutely cracking place! It’s has a great buzz about it. I do think the service needs a bit of a kick, but generally it’s ok. To all the keyboard warriors moaning about the slow service, smokey air because of the stone cooked steaks and general...

We really enjoyed our meal. We can't wait to return. We have wanted to go for a cook-at-table steak for years, When we visited Bath we were delighted to find Joya. The food was amazing and the price was reasonable. My husband and I can't...

A really enyable evening in a cosy restaurant with a lovely buzz to it. Good food, great staff. The steak was superb and the house red was excellent

Absolutely exceeded our expectations. Fabulous food and service! Cooking own steak was a novelty and the carbonara was divine.

Amazing steak! Staff are really friendly! Thank you to Gio! : )

Residence of Bath , last time we visited a long time ago it was an authentic Italian restaurant . Too much emphasis on steak now probably great for tourists but not for us . The smell of burning meat etc was quite strong and went...

We managed to get a last minute table here for NYE. So impressed with this place - partners steak was amazing on the hot plate and being able to cook it exactly how you like it right in front of you. I had pasta, the...

Wow, first of all I’ll start by saying the food here is delicious. It’s a place to go for a real nice treat or special occasion overlooking the river. The interior decor is also really cute. I had the classic hot stone sirloin whilst my...

One of the best meals out in my memory. Just amazing - food perfect, drinks gorgeous, staff lovely, great atmosphere. Please go there.

This is our third trip to this fantastic place and every single trip has been consistently brilliant. Steaks cooked to complete perfection! Sides are fresh and plentiful. I would have liked a slightly bigger range of deserts but the service and ambience was so outstanding...

We visit Bath every year before Xmas and always eat at Joya. The food is excellent and the staff are helpful and friendly. We would highly recommend.

The service was excellent and the food as well. We had a steak, pasta, and salad. All very nice. Great location.

Another superb meal here with excellent service. Last visited 2 years ago when we met friends in Bath. So, so, so pleased it has maintained its excellent steaks. Highly recommended

Delicious varied menu. Accommodated my nut allergy with no issues. Food arrived in good time and was tasty. The service was friendly and welcoming, a special shout out to Jeremy.

Hotstone steaks were amazing, I highly recommend the experience. The staff were lovely & very helpful

friendly staff, food delivered hot and cooked as required, 3 different steaks ordered with a great selection of wines to complement the steak and deserts. Well done the staff, it was busy but great service, we’ll be back.

We travelled to Bath to visit our son and celebrate his birthday. We chose Joya for lunch because we love the hot stone option. It didn’t disappoint at all and there was plenty on the menu for non meat eaters. I’d mentioned when booking that...

Fabulous food, great atmosphere. Great service. Shout out to Jeremy who was very knowledgeable about the steaks.

Amazing food and really quick service. We visited mid week and we were seated quickly and greeted politely. All meals were served quickly and the servers were very accommodating! My partner opted for his steak to be cooked in the kitchen and said it was...

We ate steak and pasta here and the food was fantastic. We had Jeremy as our waiter and he was absolutely brilliant. Great job, we had a lovely evening in Bath largely thanks to these guys.

Brilliant dining experience- I say experience as their hotstone steak meal is incredible, allowing the customer to cook the food however they want. Food was delicious and delivered very quickly which was a nice surprise. Most importantly the staff seem to really care about their...

Visited Joya for the second time and it’s our new favourite restaurant in Bath! My wife and I live in Torbay, but love a yearly getaway to Bath, with Joya always the highlight of the stay! We both opted for the 28 day aged Ribeye...

Very high quality service and tasty meat. Salmon was great also and my kid even asked for extra portion of tiramisu dessert. We will definitely come here again!

Popped in here for lunch before heading home. We had the steak which you cooked on hot lava plates yourself. The steak melted in your mouth, the side orders were great too. Jeremy who served us was very friendly and obliging. A great host. We...

We always have a great evening when we come to Joya. Top quality food service and the food is incredible. Never feel rushed or left in the corner. Great atmosphere. The staff are lovely. 100% our favorite restaurant in Bath.

Excellent restaurant. We enjoyed everything. The starters very delicious, we took meat as a main dish, and its was perfect. Best meat in bath! The staff was very polite. Will come back!!

Great dinner with a lovely waitress Melissa who was attentive,charming and funny. Really good steaks and incredible appetisers!

Zeer gezellig en lekker. Leuk concept ( je eigen vlees kunnen bakken op een hotstone) Aanrader! Ik kom zeker terug.

Great service, lovely starters fantastic steak - really impressed! Thanks to Chienne and all the staff. Can thoroughly recommend…

Have been many times now and it’s still so good! Had the hot stone steaks and Jeremy helped us with the types of steak/ what to choose etc, absolutely delicious!

Service was great, company was awful. Thank you for making a rubbish night better. 1st date vibes. Jeremy, fancy a drink? Need a sunbed? Don’t go Consol, order a hot plate.

The food was incredible, we all had the stone plate steaks and my dad even said it was the best steak he’s ever had. The desserts were equally great and so were the drinks, my parents enjoyed the house red and my partner had a delicious mocktail. The service was also top quality, Jeremy was fantastic and so was the whole team although I didn’t get their names. They were very helpful and friendly. Couldn’t have asked for any more.

If you’re looking for a lovely lunch/dinner in Bath, we can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. After reading many brilliant reviews, we decided to give it a try. We received wonderful, attentive and knowledgeable service straight away from Giovanni which was great. We had two gluten intolerant members of our party and he was great with clearly explaining what we could safely have. The quality of food at this restaurant is absolutely fantastic, and the chef cooked everything to perfection. We are real foodies, so we know good quality where we see it, hats off to where they supply their produce. We had steak for mains, cooked in the kitchen and also a block to finish off one at the table which was great fun! Absolutely making steak, best we’ve had in a long time. We absolutely loved our lunch, couldn’t fault anything and would definitely return on a future visit to bath. Thankyou for a such wonderful lunch, p.s the Malbec was outstanding!

I spent 18 years travelling the world and have eaten in hundreds of restaurants so very rarely write reviews but in this case I am putting myself out to do just that. My wife and I went to visit Bath for the weekend and arrived as a walk in at Joya, the staff managed to get us in on a busy Saturday evening, Giovanni was our waiter, I can only describe him in one word, excellent. Anything we wanted we got without any problem. The food was outstanding. Great choice on the menu and fairly priced. The atmosphere was great and overall a delightful experience. If anyone is going to Visit Bath then I would definitely book this restaurant, we were luckily and next time we visit I will defiantly be booking in advance. 10 out of 10 to all the staff, great job, thanks for a your wonderful hospitality.

We should review this place more Often as it’s recently frequented by us! We are never Disappointed by the wonderful service we receive- staff always attentive and the food is delicious! So lucky to have this place on our doorstop!

Really enjoyed our steaks here, the concept of warming up a rare fillet steak slightly and enjoying this with tasty salts, butters and sauces was great! Super experience and we would return! Only let down was the restaurant was very smoky but I understand why...

We had an amazing dinner, hot stone steak, everything was DELICIOUS and Gio was very helpful! Totally recommend

This restaurant was so much fun! The food was exceptional and we were afforded the opportunity to meet a woman celebrating her birthday and join in her party. Giovanni waited on us and provided us with a very enjoyable experience.

Undeniably excellent food; undeniably popular as it was very busy at 7pm on a Thursday. Good service. Value for money…not so much. If you go for the Italian staples of Pasta, Risotto etc, which are excellent, ok no issue. However, Joya has gone big on...

Negativt: Røg i køkkenet, bestilte ribeye, dårligt stykke kød med masser af sener. Positivt: venligt personale og hurtig betjening

Disappointing. Our table was not ready when we arrived. We were left standing in the overcrowded doorway area whilst staff sorted it out. We were offered nothing by way of compensation. The food was good but does not come with sides. Once they are added...

We had a great lunch here, the food was good and the service helpful. My husband said his dessert, a lemon sponge concoction, was the best he has ever had.

We visited as a group and most of us had steak which we all enjoyed. You get a salt, butter and sauce with the steak probably don’t need all 3. Sides are ordered extra. Good service from our waitress who brought out a special dessert...

We were looking for somewhere that is good for steak. We came across this restaurant while searching online. It's our first time visiting Bath yesterday and we did not regret choosing this for our dinner. Jeremy was spot on and attentive. We had our great...

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant, we had an unplanned pasta dinner on our first night in Bath and returned to sample the hot plate steak on our second. Our waiter was Jeremy who was attentive, knowledgeable and friendly without being intrusive. The food was truely delicious on...

We are so lucky to live in this city and even luckier to find Joya today. The steak was probably the best I have ever had. Service impeccable. We can thoroughly recommend

We booked this restuarant after an internet search prior to our recent two night stay in bath and so glad we did. We were greeted by friendly staff and sat on a table near the bar. We ordered the steak to be cooked on volcanic...

Oh my goodness, what can I say? I’m a huge ‘foodie’ been to so many lovely restaurants but I can honestly say that this is, without doubt, my favourite place to eat! You will not find better service or better food anywhere! Huge shout out...

Joya is a delight. Literally the best meat I've ever eaten. Francesca welcomes you in with such warmth. Perfect family run restaurant. Service was delightful. Great food and atmosphere.
