It was a fantastic experience from start to finish, friendly welcoming staff and the Manager Andrew was very good at putting me at ease as I was lunching on my own. The food was second to none. I had a steak which was very good, exactly how I had requested it to be cooked, I would definitely recommend you trying the place out you will not be disappointed. Can’t wait to go back and try something else off the menu.

We held a networking dinner for c.20 clients/contacts in the private room recently, which got brilliant feedback from our guests: - Staff were friendly and the service was smooth, never waiting long for food or drinks. We liked that they were quick to bring more jugs of water. - The venue itself was lovely and multiple guests commented on how nice the space was. The room was a great size for our group. The table setting was beautiful without being over-the-top. - The food was fabulous and again, something our guests commented on. A noticeable step-up from the usual big event catering. Behind the scenes, the team (especially Emily) was brilliant - clear and fast communication, and very accommodating with a few last-minute changes. A big 'thank you' from us and our guests, Emily and team, for a brilliant event - we'll definitely be back!

We stumbled upon the riverstation a few weeks ago when visiting Bristol and what a find it was! Firstly, the views from the restaurant overlooking the river are beautiful, even more so on a sunny day. The restaurant itself is really lovely and decorated beautifully. The food, wow! We had focaccia & olives to start, cote de boeuf to share and tiramisu and a rice pudding for dessert. The steak was ordered medium/rare and that is exactly what we got. We have tried a lot of steak places in our time but we both agreed this is one of the best we have ever had. We loved being able to see the steaks in the dry ager too. The service was good and staff very attentive. We will definitely try the Riverstation again next time we are in Bristol. I can imagine it’s great to have a drink there in the summer out on the balcony.

We went for Sunday lunch to celebrate a birthday. The views are beautiful and we had a great table which comfortably seated 5 of us. As the children were hungry we started with some bread and olives which set the meal off nicely. We all opted for a traditional roast as our main course, beef, pork and chicken were chosen. The meals arrived promptly, were nicely presented however the biggest disappointment, for me, was the roast potatoes as they were not crispy at all. At least there was a generous amount unlike the solitary roast carrot that was included on each plate. The meat was nice and again a generous portion but my beef was rather tough. The gravy or jus, if we are being accurate, was rather watery and not as flavourful as I would expect. The service was excellent and the dessert was the most delicious part of the meal but it’s a shame the main dish was not up to the standards I would expect from dining out.!

Stopped off for breakfast drawn in by great views from the restaurant. Wasn’t all that busy but service was a little slow. Once ordered food came out quickly but eggs and mushrooms were over cooked. Coffee was good and would have stayed for another if it would have come out promptly. Sadly wouldn’t rush back, will try Harbour House or Mud Dock Cafe next time.

We've been coming back to River Station for the best part of 25 years - at least it feels that way. It's not changed much and is a standout restaurant - we've never had a disappointing meal. Everything is now much more expensive but it's always good value. Cooked and served by a young, professional and caring team this would be our number one restaurant. We had three courses and a bottle of wine for £130. Making a reservation is easy and it's great all year round.

We spent our New Year’s Eve at River Station in Bristol, and overall, it was a lovely evening. The restaurant itself has a fantastic atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. A special mention goes to our Ukrainian waitress, who was outstanding. She went above and beyond to make sure our experience was memorable and made us feel very welcome. The food was excellent in quality, but for the price of the set menu, the portion sizes could have been more generous. By midnight, we still felt a bit hungry, which was a slight letdown considering the occasion. One major disappointment was the entertainment. When we booked through Emily Badman, the Events and Sales Manager, we were informed that Denise DeMille, a semi-finalist from Britain’s Got Talent, would be performing. However, on the night, a different artist played, and we were not notified of this change beforehand. This was especially frustrating since our group of seven had been looking forward to Denise’s performance as part of the evening’s appeal. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience was fantastic. The ambiance, staff, and food (though portion sizes could improve) were all wonderful. We highly recommend River Station for special occasions, but a bit more transparency about entertainment changes and adjustments to portion sizes would make the experience truly exceptional.

What restaurant in 2024 cannot cater for vegetarian customers? I understand that you may want to offer an oldschool meaty Christmas dinner but for goodness sake have a back up plan so that my vegan friend can at least have some potatoes and gravy with his nut roast (which was smoosh) and carrots (also smoosh for some reason). Nut roast & carrots do NOT make a Christmas dinner! It is little effort to do this, and it's not as if you weren't pre-warned. Also you're in Bristol ffs, you really have no excuse! You ruined his work Christmas meal. You're an established restaurant with good food, have a word with yourself and do better.

We visited on Christmas Eve. We had booked for the Christmas set menu and we’d even phoned a couple weeks before to ask if this menu was going to be available on Christmas Eve and we were told yes. When we got there were however we were only given just a regular menu and some of the options we had been eyeing online weren’t there especially options for the vegetarians and pescatarians in our group. Also worked out more expensive overall. There was no apology or explanation for the Christmas menu not being available. The food was alright. I had the pork rack and tbf it lacked flavour. Pretty bland and I had to add salt and pepper and I’m normally someone who finds most things salty enough. Some of my group ordered the lamb belly and the size of the lamb was tiny - portion I would give a 6year old child at home not even exaggerating here. If you choose to go here, be careful because whatever menu you see online, will likely end up being very different from what they print out on the day and there’s no warning for this. I paid £50 for my share of the hill which was an elderflower presse, sharing bread and olives between three people, pork rack, chunky chips, red wine jus side and and a treacle tart pudding. So I guess it’s reasonable but for Bristol, I would’ve got better tasting food elsewhere for that price.

Last year, 2023, you will see my review was faultless as it was brilliant. This year it was appalling and now after three visits and with such a poor experience, I will not return. Food was bland and nothing special at all, I had the steak which was cheap, hard to cut and no taste to it, with some veg that was badly presented and small in quantity. Unlike 2023 the waiting staff were not to standard and made the evening feel like a fast food venue. Desserts were bland and nondescript, overall the food was poor. The venue was rammed and very stressful and not comfortable at all with the bar full of drinkers and made a really special occasion unpleasant. As usual ‘top dollar’ charged, when a visit to Burger King would have been better, tastier food and a better atmosphere.

30 of us attended Riverstation for our work Christmas dinner last night. This had taken some organisation prior to visiting and Emily at Riverstation was helpful, professional and polite in helping organise this / accommodate diners with various food allergies/ intolerances. We had a fantastic meal/ evening. The food was delicious, hot and brought out all in good time - so all 30 of us were eating the same course at the same time. There was plenty of time given between courses and people managed to mingle with their colleagues. The staff were polite & helpful throughout, clearing the tables regularly and checking in if everything was okay. The team also accommodated a guide dog with a generous space, water and food bowl. This was a relaxed evening with colleagues with a lovely ambience/ atmosphere, very nice food & the team at Riverstation helped the evening go smoothly. All colleagues commented that they had had a lovely meal and enjoyed their evening. Thank you Riverstation for all your hard work last night, which was very much appreciated.

We all had the set Christmas menu. The beef couldn't be cut, given steak knife, still no good. Meal was replaced, still no good. Turkey not too bad. Had a long wait for Cranberry and Horseradish sauce, had nearly finished meal by the time it came, and that was because I ate slowly trying to wait for it. For some reason starters and deserts were served on the smallest plates they had. Crumble had to be sent back as wasn't hot, and not much custard. Appeared to be only 2 staff, who had to work at the bar and serve the meals. Management should organise this better.

We returned to River Station for a second time, hoping to enjoy some drinks. Unfortunately, the lady working behind the bar was quite rude and unhelpful, Her colleague even shouted at us from across the room. This experience was disappointing, especially since we had a relaxing visit in 2023 that prompted our return. Needless to say we promptly left and took our business elsewhere.

I have been going to the Pontoon Bar for many years: the new menu is disappointing so will probably give it a miss for a while until the menu changes again. Service fine, space was nearly empty (3 or 4 tables occupied) so atmosphere not great. When the pontoon bar did basics well eg savoury tart, veggie burger, steak and chips it was much better as it catered for a wide range of tastes so more attractive when meeting groups of friends.

Casual dining on the ground floor is charming. Good food from a short menue and cheerful atmosphere. In the main first floor resaurant, it is a bit more formal and posh. Surely the best sunday roast in Bristol! The Riverstation has been firm favourite in Bristol for years, but when push comes to shove, Sunday roast which so often disappoints, really hits the spot here. Really good service and a convivial atmosphere.the Try their roast beef. Sublime.

A group of 3 attended for a meeting up leisurely lunch. Disappointed with small number of unrealistic choices on the lunch set menu so felt forced onto the a la carte. The prices here have risen markedly although the quality of the imaginative dish (we all had the chicken) was very good and a substantially sized portion. Perhaps reflecting that we were there on a Tuesday lunchtime, the restaurant was very quiet which dulled the ambiance Service was attentive enough without us feeling pressured but then time was not an issue for us on this occasion. I suggest some lighter, less complex but good quality dishes on the lunch set menu at its current price would make the experience more attractive.

I'd been to Riverstation probably 8 or so years ago so took a punt on inviting 4 colleagues to try it out for dinner. We were not disappointed. Although there were a couple of items not available, the options left were perfectly fine. Bear in mind that this is a heavily meat-driven menu although there are several alternatives as well. The wine list is a sensible size (i.e. not too long) and the prices were in line with those for the food - not silly. The presentation on the plate was very good and, other than the odd bone, we cleared every dish. The scallop, mackerel and duck breast starters were excellent and the venison was terrific. The service was very attentive. We somewhat overindulged on the drinks - hence the elevated cost - but you pay for excellent food. I'll certainly go back next time I'm in Bristol.

From the moment we arrived and the waiter left us standing for ten mins whilst he set up tables and then rudely asked who we were, we regretted our lunch venue choice. This man gave no eye contact, was not happy to be there and then when serving our drinks spilt a third of my diet coke over my partners lap. There was no apology and he ignored what he had done, not even offering to top up my drink that was now partly on the table and my partners jeans. Unfortunately the experience just got worse with the worse food we have had out in Bristol over the past few years. We ordered chicken, which was a leg, with barely any meat and the triple cooked chips had been reheated in the microwave. Soggy and more like chunks of mash. My mum paid £40 for lobster which was overcooked and shrank to barely any meat. This meal was expensive and KFC would had been a lot nicer. We rebooked here after having a lovely Sunday lunch last year, but we will never book here again! The waiter definitely needs more training in costumer service and the chef needs training on how to cook food properly. Even if they paid us to return we would not after this.

This, for my wife and i was an aniversary lunch and I have not been to riverstation for some time but had heard its reputation put it up there amongst the best. Overall the meal was generally lovely. Cooked to perfection and presented in a simple but delicious way. The staff were attentive and whilst at times the service between courses was slow, we were in no real hurry so it worked for us. We had some food for the table. Starters mains and puddings and so pushed the boat out on this occasion. In terms of any feedback i would offer. My wife thought the chicken dish she had was grossly overpriiced for its content which basically consisted of a battered, over fried chicken leg smothered in sauce to disguise its inadiquate proportion. It was mostly drumstick with very little meat and quite dry despite all the sauce. We made these points to our waiter who was quick to fix the issue. In my opinion this dish would be better as a chicken breast, boneless as this would be better value overall. My steak at £45 was at the edge of acceptable for that huge price tag. But it was a special occasion so there you go. However the sides were underwhelming. A beautifully stacked, Jenga style, of literally 6 or 7 chips, triple fried and some small bitter green peppers that were crunchy and no more than barely cooked. We left most of those. I opted for the red wine Jus reduction as a sauce which was inedibly salty due to to the level of reduction and quite thin in its volume. The Marmite mash was a winner though. Really tasty. Finally i have to say the puddings were something to nothing. A small slice of lemon pie with burnt merangue and a couple of rogue raspberry halves trying to make the huge amount of sauceless empty space on the place Look less obvious. Overall a lot of money for an average meal. It was a bit like buying an expensive car only to discover that it had brown velour seats and a 1970 cassette player. I would go back but be more critical at the time and certainly not as a special event meal such as it was for my wife and I. 6/10.. could do better. Oh and before I forget, a glass of Malbec at almost £13 is outrageous!

We attended a Jazz night and paid £20 for the music. We also ordered a plate for two. The food was delicious, and the service was lovely. The music was okay, but we didn’t feel it justified the extra charge. The atmosphere was nice, and the restaurant itself is charming. However, we didn’t enjoy the dessert—the chocolate polenta was too greasy. In the end, we paid £180 for the meal, including a whisky and a glass of wine, plus £20 for the music, bringing the total to £200. We felt that the price was not justified by the overall experience. The day after, the restaurant manager called me and refunded the £20, which was very nice of them to recognize the issue. Thanks to this gesture, I will now give them 4 stars ⭐️.

The bar and the views make for such a good party, but the food, drinks and service were the standouts. Emily and Maria helped with all our queries and requests, even creating a bespoke sharing platter with 2 weeks to go when we realised we’d ordered the wrong one! They went above and beyond and would highly recommend. Thank you so much!

Not many people there so atmosphere a bit subdued.

The food was lovely, nice steak and veggie options. We felt the prices were high and it would probably make us think twice about booking again. We eat out a lot so are used to a variety of food options and prices but came away feeling slightly unhappy. The restaurant was quiet even though it was Saturday night so not a buzzy atmosphere. Shame really as we had our wedding reception here seventeen years ago and really loved the place.

Great cuisine, a bit pricey but worth it. Very quiet, ideal for a dinner for two. Service was great, the lady in charge that evening was super nice.

We had a Sunday lunch here yesterday. My husband and I both chose the Porchetta. The meal arrived fairly well presented. However, once I removed the Yorkshire pudding, it exposed the Porchetta. The Porchetta was literally a coil of fat - it wasn’t cooked well at all - no crispiness and just several centimetres of pork in the middle, of a load of fat. It was disappointing that someone in the kitchen had thought this was acceptable to send out to customers, when it would have been totally inedible. We mentioned it to the waiter and the meals were taken back to the kitchen, to be cooked correctly. However, just the fact that this happened is extremely offputting and disappointing in a fairly expensive restaurant. We have had far superior Sunday lunches elsewhere. The waiting staff were pleasant but they seemed extremely short staffed with just the two of them. Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place.

It was such a fantastic experience! The service was impeccable, the setting was stunning, and the cuisine was exceptional! My wife said it was the best lobster she had ever eaten, and my ribeye steak was cooked to perfection! I love their little referb tweaks within the restaurant, too! All in all, I'm very impressed!!

A really lovely evening with great tasting food, lovely wine and a nice atmosphere. It's not a cheap place to eat but worth it for a special treat as the food was so flavoursome.

Very professional team at the Riverstation. We were made to feel very welcome for my Dad's 80th birthday, enjoyed the food and the service was really friendly and helpful. Would definitely reccommend this restaurant to anyone thinking of booking!

Amazing food, beautiful veranda & great service. We had the fish special for the day and both really enjoyed it. Leo was our server and made sure we had a brilliant experience. Would definitely recommend and come back again.

Gorgeous views over the river, amazing food and drinks and kids were really well catered food as a huge bonus! I would say it’s fine dining, such high quality food and beautiful taste. 100% recommend. Might seem expensive at face value but it’s really well priced.

I got a chicken kebab made with love! I came in right as they were closing and they were kind enough to make me a sandwich even though they didn't have to at a fair price. So good and delicious

We had been advised to try out Oz Restaurant by several friends and we were not disappointed. We were made to feel welcome the minute we were through the door and nothing was too much effort. The restaurant itself is modestly furnished - more like a bistro - but that added to the charm. The menu offers a god range of dishes and everything we had was full of flavour and well presented. We chatted to the owner who said they use local food as much as possible and organic where available and in season. Finally, the price was also modest. We will be going back

What a find, it’s been here for years, why haven’t I eaten here before. It’s fantastic. Great food, great drinks and a fab service. It deserves every one of the five star rating. Highly recommended for breakfast or lunch.
