Harvey Nichols Second Floor Bar And Restaurant Bristol

We have been regular visitors since HN opened but less so since pre-Covid when standards started to decline. The last two visits were encouraging but “Good Friday” was not so good. We arrived at the appointed time, no one at reception so we clobbered a staff member who tried to ignore us as he walked by. He pointed us towards the restaurant. We were seated and offered water by a nice lady. Although not too busy there was only one member of staff on duty, 15 mins later he said he would be two minutes as he rushed by. We were on the verge of leaving but he came just in time and apologised for the delay, we felt really sorry for him as he was so nice but had been obviously been left in the lurch. As to the menu, no longer the A La Carte but a Spring menu and a Small/Large/Sharing plates or was it a Sharing small, large sharing plates. Basically the new menu was just a mishmash of the starters and mains of the old A La Carte menu, all very confusing. The starters and dessert of the Spring Menu were good although the mains were underwhelming. My wife asked for a substitute for the Borletti beans but was offered and received nothing. No one checked backed on any of our food until we had finished and we had to pinch cutlery from the next table as we didn’t have any for our mains, no staff in sight to ask. All in all we wished we had gone to Cote or Piccolinos next door.l

Booked the lunch time slot on a whim and so glad we did. Opted for the winter three course deal at £28 each. Had the fish and potato croquettes, seared hake and chocolate brulee to finish, with a glass of bubbly on the side. All cooked really well and amazingly tasty. Staff were attentive and friendly, they gave us a little dessert selection as an anniversary surprise, which was a nice little touch. All in all, a real triumph, would definately book again and at that price range, not necessarily just a special occasion.

Like others we had lapsed due to Covid and no real change in the menu despite a change in chef. Our latest visit has reinstated our belief, helped in part from the excellent service by the latest recruit from Napoli. Could not fault anything, food, service and quality of food.

I'm always amazed by the fantastic food and amazing service for such a reasonable price! If you haven't been here then make it your next booking in central Bristol, they really do deserve your patronage..and who knew they do a bottomless Prosecco dinner!

On arrival we realised that the Christmas menu had some items removed and were disappointed. The manager sorted this to our satisfaction and we had an amazing meal, faultless. Thank you for a wonderful evening
