    This was my first time to Boro Bistro and it certainly won’t be my last. The tapas dishes that my brother and I ordered were superb, and although the desserts menu was limited, we were delighted with our choices. The toilets were quite literally ’out of this world’, bathed in pink light, with coloured laser lights dancing on the floor! Thanks to the chefs and the lovely waiters who made our visit so special.

    Lovely place, only criticism is needs better location details, I had to ask at pub as it's below road level. Great, friendly staff. Lovely food - When I said 'moderate' noise this was meant to mean there was a nice atmosphere, great to be able to sit and chat over lunch.

    I love Boro Bistro, and although not as often as I’d like, It’s my number one spot for catch ups with family and/or friends and never disappoints, and certainly didn’t on this occasion! My partner and I came for a light dinner and a dessert, and were sat outdoors on the sofas, ambience was perfect, food was sublime and the beer was great. I love the business, the staff are always attentive and kind,l.

    The staff were very friendly and helpful but I’m afraid the environment (inside) and the food were not great. I was there with some friends from overseas and by the end I felt the need to apologise for my choice as several of the dishes were not very pleasant. Shame as I hoped it was going to be good.

    The location is great and I think it can be a great place for a drink after work. Unfortunately my dinner experience was really disappointing and I won't be choosing this place again. As me and my friends all work or have worked in hospitality, it was really embarrassing for me to face the lack of care demonstrated by the staff. We visited on a Tuesday and the restaurant was definitely not understaffed. The food was also underwhelming. All in all I regret choosing this place.

    Hello, Thanks for the honest feedback. I’m really sorry to hear you didn’t have a good experience with us. It’s even tougher knowing you and your friends work (or have worked) in hospitality — you know exactly how it should be, and we clearly fell short. We’re chatting with the team about it because no matter how busy or quiet we are, everyone deserves better. Same goes for the food — definitely not the impression we want to leave. If you’re ever up for giving us another shot, drop me a message — I’d love to make it up to you. Ella

    The food quality is good, it is a tapa place so portions are small. Food is good and it seems to be prepared on the moment, and it takes long time to arrive. Service is average.. they missed up my order so I had to wait another 15..20 mins to get my plate to the table while all my friends were having their food already.
