We had a wonderful meal last night to celebrate my other half's birthday. The tasting menu was an incredible feast of flavours and textures, and the wine flight was lovely.
The team knew each course inside out and were very friendly and engaging.
This was our first visit, and I feel sure we'll be back again soon. A heartily recommended gourmet experience.
Had a wonderful lunch today to celebrate becoming a U.K. citizen. Set menu was delicious (I had omnivore version and my friend had vegetarian) and at a very reasonable price. Service was excellent as well.
Had the lunch menu with the cheese supplement. What can I say, this was an excellent dining experience and should be tried. Felt like AY offers great value for money, brilliant service and amazing flavours.
Lovely fine dining experience - some very daring choices from the chefs, but ultimately all dishes were a unique experience. Nice journey in flavours. Some very subtle, some quite "explicit" (I'm looking at you, salted caramel truffle!) But all in all well worth it.
Price is quite low for what it is. Recommended for a unique occasion.
Absolutely wonderful evening.The food was delicious and beautifully created.The restaurant team were excellent.
Very good tasting menu offering and great value for money. Only downside was the gluten free options for my wife were a bit underwhelming. We had booked in advance and some of the courses that we ate were very different for my wife. For example the dessert based on a rhubarb gateau with rhubarb sorbet was just a scoop of sorbet with some fruit gel. Not really a dessert.
Everything about this experience was wonderful. Service was immaculate and every single dish was incredible.
We weren’t expecting Liv the chef to be there actually cooking so my partner was over the moon to see that she was! I guess this just added to the whole experience as well. (Like most chefs that do incredibly well on TV shows, we thought that she’d probably be off on new ventures setting up restaurants in every city)
Another Bristol staple of the quality food scene. There's a reason it's still going strong.

Wow...where should I begin? The tasting menu was a fantastic dining experience...worthy of the celebration of our anniversary for sure. The dishes crescendoed in their excellence...each seemingly better than the last, despite the early courses being wonderful in their own right. Each was a perfectly balanced creation, mixing flavors and textures to perfection. To mention a few specifics (see the photos below, to see how each dish was presented) the hake was simple but overwhelmingly delicious when combined with the smoked roe and butter sauce...just fantastic. The lamb was probably my personal favorite, with the overlapping flavours of the different cuts of lamb, carrot and onion working together soooo well. The execution continued into the desserts...especially the chocolate, miso, sesame creation...mindblowingly good. Every course, while a perfect combination taste-wise, was also creatively built and presented...and the result was definitely worth the effort in the kitchen.
We also had the paired wines, all of which had clearly been painstakingly thought through and further enhanced dishes served. Of special note was the Theodora from Austria which, which would not have been our first choice for drinking on its own, was perfectly complimented with Confit kohlrabi. Full credit for the team for getting the wine pairings right...this was as good as it gets.
The service was flawless. The venue small but, as a result, kind of intimate. I wouldn’t hesitate to go again but it isn’t cheap...so it’ll only be for special occasions. The easiest 5 star review I have given in ages.
I can’t recommend this highly enough. My wife and I celebrated our 4th anniversary here last night. It’s a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and the staff are warm and highly knowledgeable. We had the tasting menu with paired wines (which is absolutely worth doing). The food was knockout - creative with meticulous attention to detail, and utterly delicious. I will definitely be back.
Beautiful and interesting food in friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
The wine flight was really interesting, the sommelier talked us through the pairings.
A gem, highly recommend.
Had a great couple of nights out here.
Food is fantastic, wine is great.
I always look for that wow moment and something that sticks in my memory and I found one of those here. The little lamb and anchovies lolly pop were just amazing.
The passion from the front of house team is on point and really interactive.
Good atmosphere and i like to sit at the back of the restaurant looking over the water.
I've been a couple of times and will go again.
An amazing experience. The tasting menu was one of the top 3 I have ever had. I loved the experimentation and every dish stood out! Normally you can choose a favorite not here. Will be back!
Me and my partner went for the taster menu. She had the meat one I had the pescatarian. Absolute brilliant service and fantastic food. Only quarrel with the place is that the timings between food weren't consistent. Some were 5 minutes others were 20, we were there for 3 hours total. So be prepared if you are in a hurry.
Its a nice place rustic look outdoor area could be better specially because its on river bank. Food was nice a but little gamey (i have that problem with French cuisine to be honest), i would have expected a bit more vibrance on summer menu. But most of the courses were very good. Staff was attentive but one guy was doing most of the heavy lifting in terms of explaining the dishes so a bit more training perhaps. I hope you take it as a bit of constructive criticism and i wish you all the best.
This was one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The food was as good as, if not better than any michelin star restaurant I’ve eaten at before, but the atmosphere was superior. All the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly and truly made this a special evening.
Great evening doing the tasting menu and the pairing menu - some great flavours, dishes and wines. I learned of this restaurant from the chefs appearance on the great British menu and had the opportunity to say hello as well! Very enjoyable
The Saturday night tasting menu was incredible. A mixture of delicious courses with a classic twist and some pleasantly surprising quirky ideas too.
Birthday treat for the 10 course tasting menu with matched wine, each course matched to suit our preferences. Superb service, knowledge and politeness. The chefs present the food that the cook, describing the ingredients, which is a great touch. Each course tasty, well presented, full of flavour. Completely full afterwards, best to skip lunch if the ten course option is on your to-do list, and it's so good that it should be on everyone's to-do list!
