West County Restaurants

The food and wine were terrific as always, and our server, Teresa, was charming yet truly professional. The only "knock" on our review is the proximity of our table to the bar area. The restaurant has a low ceiling without sound dampening and the noise level was, frankly, annoying. To be fair, we were able to disregard that (for the most part) and had a nice evening.

Our waiter was wonderful. He has waited us on a prior visit and is outstanding. My memory is horrible these days, and I can’t recall his name. It starts with an “R , he also has a note-worthy mustache and is a sommallier. If he waits on you, you are in good hands. A special thank you to this gentleman for making my mother’s birthday dinner so memorable!

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!

The beet salad in Barada was phenomenal, great calamari in the filet mignon entrée was amazing! We didn’t care for the crème brûlée dessert custard tasted like orange Lacore or vodka

I had dinner with my brother and sister-in-law for a Christmas Eve lunch. I made reservations and was promptly seated. The server was very nice, and her service was exceptional. I have been here before, and I have to say this was my best experience yet!!
