Boston Tea Party

• Great atmosphere.
• Veggie breakfasts.

“Went there on New Year's Day and in their defense was a bit busy. That does not however mean that they should lower the standards of their dishes or anything like that. We ordered a ham, cheese and tomato panini, which was tasty, although there was not one discerning flavor and a veggie breakfast, which my girlfriend (a veggie with a healthy appetite!) did not finish. The scrambled eggs were unseasoned, the sweet potato did not even look inviting, while the rest was just blunt all put together in a small plate. The atmosphere on a good day is pretty romantic and the decor inspires either couples to come in and gaze at the rest of the world or lonely hearts to read a book in the big comfortable sofas.”

• The food was wonderful.
• The toilet sink was overflowing & no changing facilities.

“Went for Sunday breakfast. The menu had so many nice things to choose from. The food arrived quickly and was beautifully cooked. The fried breakfast was not greasy, the toast was hot, the egg and tomato on toast was lovely. The Irish cream cappacino was as good as Starbucks and the fruit smoothie was a wonderful drink for my 2 year old.”

Bell's Diner

Overall Rating: 3
Food:[3] • Service:[4] • Atmosphere:[10]

• Atmosphere, just like a French Bistro.
• Need more space.

“We were excited about our visit to what has a reputation as the "best" in Bristol, but disappointed with the Scallop Starter, not impressed with my over baked Halibut main and even more upset when the waiter failed to report back from the Chef after my wife complained about her chewy steak, not impressed! Desserts were delicious, but will not visit again.”

• Good produce.
• Length of wait, rude and incompetent staff.

“Sunday morning breakfast, it was busy and we had to wait over 50 minutes for basic breakfast. Other people were complaining and some asked for their money back after being served food that had gone cold. Our food was cold by the time it got to us. We had to ask 3 times for knives, there weren't any in the dispensers and apparently every one that they had in the cafe was in the dishwasher so we ate with a metal fork and a wooden knife. Not even an acknowledgement or apology for the length of time taken or that we had had any problems. The food might have been good if it wasn't so cold and I had been able to enjoy it without being so angry about the service. The staff was slow, incompetent and rude with it.”
