The best restaurants in Bath and North East Somerset South West

It says dogs are allowed… they are DEFINITELY NOT… I was told by the stroppy barman… I walked straight back out…

We visited the restaurant on a very busy Friday night and not having booked, didn’t really expect to get a table. However, the young woman on the desk, Liz, was extremely helpful and as soon as another couple left she set about organising their table for us, all done with a very welcoming smile . We both had the duck curry and it was delicious - beautifully served with some unusual accompaniments. My friend had the sticky toffee pudding and I had the chocolate tart with ice cream - very tasty and very filling. Liz came over to ask how we had enjoyed our meal and chatted about Bath to us - it was our first visit to the town - we appreciated her taking this time. The restaurant has a very warm and lively atmosphere - we would certainly return, lots of choice on the menu.

Every year we meet up with our Australian business colleagues and dine at the Ivy Bath.I made a reservation on the Ivy web site for 6.15 pm and received an email confirmation of our booking. Upon our arrival we were bluntly informed we had cancelled our reservation. I denied this and without a smile or apology I was told the reservation was cancelled and nothing could be done about it. I showed our email confirmation and mentioned we were regular Ivy diners and held our wedding reception there and other parties. I then asked to speak to the manager , still without a smile I was informed I was speaking to the manager and nothing could be done and Top Table had cancelled our reservation. Frustrated at the totally unhelpful bordering on rude attitude I stated my reservation was made on Ivy web site not top table’s , again I was told nothing could be done to resolve the problem. Finally, the so call manageress stated we could have a table. We entered the restaurant to discover the table we finally dined at was empty as was another table during our two hour dinner. All other staff were polite and service/food was excellent. The manageress demonstrated she was clearly no understanding of customer service. Not once did she say “Sorry” for a situation outside of our control.

Very friendly staff, great food at a reasonable price. would highly recommend. Will definitely be coming back here again

Teníamos entradas de teatro y decidimos darnos un capricho con una comida primero. Pudimos reservar una mesa el día anterior y no nos decepcionó. Los dos comimos filete de ribeye que estaba muy sabroso. He comido en restaurantes de carne especializados, pero esto era incluso mejor que ellos. Las papas fritas estaban libres de gluten y estoy feliz de informar que no hay contaminación cruzada. Cote es siempre mi ir al restaurante donde quiera que vaya en el país, ya que es tan seguro comer allí. El personal era muy atento y encantador también. Gracias.

Five guys quality is amazing. The customer service is great too and you feel some peace of mind watching them make your order because you can actually see what goes on in the kitchen. Cleaning is thorough and food is immaculate. Bonus that there are the cool snippets from news articles about five guys

The service from Alex and Kat was excellent throughout 🙂 even though we had to pay 😉 😆 The atmosphere was lovely. The tapas were tasty. The environment was very clean 😍

First time here in over 20 years, the food is really good it's a bit on the dear side but it where you are on the side of the River Avon, will visit again

Do not order from here if you have Vegan/Veg requirements. Last night we ordered 2 Vegan burgers on UBER Eats, and 2 chicken burgers arrived. Innocent mistake perhaps? NO. We ordered again, 2 vegan burgers, and again 2 chicken burgers arrived. This is dreadful and disgusting. After waiting all evening for food that can't be eaten, you need to do better.

¡Una joya de pub! Pequeño en tamaño pero con un gran ambiente agradable y música fabulosa! ¡Vale la pena venir a tomar una copa o tres! ¡Terminarás quedándote más de lo planeado!

Lovely fish as always. Chips good too

On entering the The Pig we were greeted with a very polite and friendly young lady, nice warm smile who checked us in and escorted us to an area with comfortable sofa and armchairs. We were very quickly given the drinks menus, left us to peruse these and shortly afterwards our drinks order was taken, Amy the restaurant manager asked us if everything was ok. A little while later were taken to our table in the restaurant and menus given to us. Water brought to the table very promptly. Given time to make our selection from the menu. The food that arrived was of the highest standard and was well presented and tasted amazing. It was my birthday and the thoughtful touch they brought out was a large plate with different chocolate treats and a Happy Birthday message piped on with white chocolate. We were all very impressed with everything. The staff were very attentive polite and professional. A big thanks has to go to Steff who made this happen. Will definitely be returning soon.

Incredibly stupid experience today where the machine took my payment but didn't print a receipt or send the order. I showed the payment in my bank app but couldn't refund or give the meal, and now I have to chase the bank for a refund (!!)

For a wine bar selling £300 bottles of Bolgheri and other top draw wines I would have expected the choice of cheeses and meats on their £32 sharing platter to reflect equal quality. Processed rubber spam, unripe dull Brie and believe it or not chilli flavoured Red Leicester just didn’t compliment any of the fine wines and ruined the experience! I was asked by the waitress if I was enjoying the food and when I explained that the chilli cheese was not a good match for a fine Tuscan red she just laughed and said it was her fav’! I nearly walked out ha ha. One of a group of 4 ‘Italian’ food and wine businesses this was a bitter disappointment and compared to 18 at Green Street or the brilliant Beckford Bottle Shop nearby I cannot recommend this as a great place to enjoy fine wine.

My friend had a noodle dish and I had the Penang Aubergine vegan and omg it was amazing brilliant service from the lovely young lady and very good flavours top notch to the chef.
