   Our experience was disappointing. We went for New Year's Eve in 2023 and enjoyed it so much that we decided to eat there for New Year's Eve of 2024, but not the same. Our food was not as good as the previous year. It arrived to our table cold. The prime rib was definitly undercooked and even the starter soup and dessert were not reminiscent of our meal from the previous year. Definitely not worth the price!

   The food was very good, and our server Amanda, was very friendly and attentive. We were seated in a booth that needed additional cleaning (lots of crumbs in the seat) but otherwise a nice experience

   Our first time at Bristol Grill and definitely not a ‘fine dining’ experience. I’ve never written a poor review for anyone but this is that review. The restaurant seemed very understaffed. We were seated at a very very small two seat booth right next to the bus station, yet received no drink refills nor had plates removed from our table after courses were finished. The restaurant was literally freezing. Not just a tad chilly but my husband said his back hurt from shivering. We ordered well over $230 in food, much of it raw, including oysters and caviar and had to stare at our food for over ten minutes and ask for crackers TWICE in order to enjoy the food. It really was a train wreck. We are pretty tall people and I would say that the extremely small booth, (especially when there were many other open tables) coupled with the very cold temperature set the stage for a marginal experience. Add to that the very slow and inattentive service and the quality of the food almost didn’t matter. And that was just above middling. Don’t think we will be going back to drop a quarter of a thousand dollars any time soon.

   We had a wonderful experience at Bristol on Christmas! Yes, it was packed and it took a bit a bit to be seated. We were told they had 500 reservations! Yes, the entrees took about an hour to be served, but that was to expected. Our waitress was divine...telling us right away that entrees were taking a long time to come out of the kitchen. Her initials are AJ D. She checked in often and kept us happy. I always think the best servers keep patrons aware of delays, etc. Our food was delicious from our first course of soup, shrimp gumbo for my DH and their lobster bisque for me. DH had the lamb for his entree and pronounced it perfect. I had the 6oz filet mignon which was also perfect. We loved our sides as well. The prix fixed menu included dessert. The carrot cake and DH had the chocolate dessert. We left very happy! Im so very grateful that Bristol was open Christmas Day. Very few places are open, but where would we go for a nice experience and meal if Bristol was closed as most were? Thank you Bristol for being open, thank you for taking reservations and thank you for a lovely experience!

    We went to the Christmas Day dinner at Bristol’s now for the last 3 years. This year was a bit less stellar than usual, which is disappointing. Last year they had a few more seafood options which is what I was hoping for this year. I don’t typically go to a seafood restaurant and get beef. Our meal was just shy of 3 hours long; and it was over an over before our soup/salad course came out. I know the holidays are busy, but this is the first year with such delays. Also our service was just okay. Normally we are accustomed to amazing service at Bristol’s, so again, a letdown. I may come back next year, or I might venture to another upscale restaurant that had a Christmas Day offering.
