Thanks to Mark we had a great couple of hours at the bar of Harvey Nichols. The cocktails were stunning but just as good was the advice and knowledge of Mark. More

Having a day for 'me' decided to give it a go. Good choice and even though dining on my own, staff were very attentive and my choice of food was delicious and reasonably priced. Enjoyed every minute. More

I brought my mother here for a pre-theatre lunch and we weren't disappointed. A warm welcome from the attentive staff, fabulous food (check out the Prix Fixe, it's excellent value!) and a lovely atmosphere. We would definitely return again and again! Thank you for looking after us. More

We've eaten here a few times and not once have we ever been disappointed. The quality and standard of food is excellent. The front of house staff are all very warm and welcoming, nothing seems to be too much trouble. A lovely relaxing atmosphere. Would we eat here again? Most certainly yes, just say when! More

After having perused the breakfast menu on the Harvey Nichols website, my girlfriend and I paid a visit here on a Saturday morning. All of the staff were only too happy to help and made us both feel quite privileged to be enjoying such a dining experience, with the restaurant's lavish interior and view over the courtyard area of Cabot...

We have been to the restaurant at Harvey Nichols several times, most recently last week so I thought it was about time I left a review! The food was excellent- well presented and tasty, service could not be faulted. This is one of the few restaurants in Bristol that consistently delivers. More

We enjoyed lunch in a calm, relaxed and comfortable setting. The set lunch was a bargain - excellent ingredients, well executed and presented. I had a glass of Dog Point Sauvignon Blanc which is something rarely seen on wine lists in Bristol by the glass. Not cheap but that's to be expected with such excellent wine. Service was attentive, quick... More

Great atmosphere, very chic and staff were mainly attentive. We went for the fixed price lunch menu which costs £15 for 2 courses. Food looked great but my main of mackerel lacked seasoning. It's worth giving this place a try as it's quite good value for money considering where you are. However, the drinks were overpriced; we paid £4.50 for... More

This is a top class restaurant. The location on the second floor of Harvey Nichols in the fashionable Cabot Circus area of Bristol, with nearby car parks and public transport, could not be more convenient. The decor is a masterpiece of understated elegance. There is a relaxing ambience with lovely background music The food is first rate and the luncheon... More

We went there for a special treat on Good Friday - big mistake. When we arrived first of all the restaurant smelt strongly of fish; not a good start. Starters were salt pollock and for my partner asparagus with poached egg ravioli. The raviloli and asparagus was good with perfect cooking and excellent tastes. The salt pollock was characterised by... More
