This particular day I was feeling a little under the weather. After the first few spoonfuls of the cioppino, I felt immediately better. I already knew it was delicious; I now know it has amazing healing powers. My husband ordered the mixed seafood grill and he loved it. Our waitress was also super friendly and spent a few minutes discussing books with us, which was very engaging. Between the food, the staff and the ambiance, I highly recommend Bristol.5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMNever disappointedBristol is on the short list for restaurants that always has perfectly cooked meat, well-seasoned dishes AND top notch service. It's worth every penny for this dining experience!5/25/2013 12:00:00 AMoutstandingThe salmon was terrific! Best we have ever had! Thanks to a wonderful server, who smiled throughout & was promptly available when we needed anything.

The entire experience was wonderful.5/14/2013 12:00:00 AMMother's DayI took the family to Bristol for Mother's Day since it's one of my wife's favorites. Our waiter made a strong recommendation of the daily special the swordfish so I went with that. It was very good, grilled to perfection. It came with a flavorful vegetable mix and was light but filling. My daughter had salmon from the kid's menu. It was cooked perfectly very juicy, it came with the creamiest mashed potatoes you could ask for. My wife ordered the halibut from the menu. It was disappointing in that it was overcooked and dry.
This place is my go to for seafood and I've never been disappointed with their fresh daily specials. I also am always pleased with their service, wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWe go for the brunches andWe go for the brunches and have yet to be disappointed.5/12/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat BrunchThe Bristol is one of my favorite restaurants in KC, and one of only 2 places for outstanding fish/seafood.

Just because high-tech, no-hands-on reservations are available in a modern age
and convenient for the restaurant, does NOT make it user-friendly for the potential
diner. In the future, may I speak to a PERSON, please ?5/5/2013 12:00:00 AMThe fresh fish selection andThe fresh fish selection and the crab cakes are excellent.
