So glad they have their brunch back at this location. Food was good, as usual. Miss the smoked salmon and the green chili wontons. Biscuits were a bit old, but that can happen on a buffet table. Service was great. All in all, a good return from a beloved restaurant. Tell them to bring back the Mid East grilled cheese for lunch. It should be a keeper.

We went to the Bristol Bar and Grill to celebrate my Mom’s 90 Birthday. We ordered Green Chili wontons and when they came out we were told they were out of little plates to eat them on. Then 30 minutes later our soup, salad and entree’s all came out together. To top it off the food was cold. We were very disappointed.

We were seated on time, the table was near the front door so every time the door opened you got a blast of cold air. The carpet looked like it had not been vacuumed in weeks. Service was okay, food was bland the shrimp and grits was not the same recipe as before. Drinks from the bar took forever and when the second round came even thought the special was ordered it was not the same drink. We will not be going back

This was the first time I had visited the Bristol in a year because the last experience ( Thanksgiving 22) had been so poor. They ran out of Turkey just when we got there and didn’t have more until we were about to leave - there were other issues but I will leave it at that. This time they were super busy with kid prom couples and I felt very rushed- would rather have gone somewhere else where I felt my business was valued. The food ( entree and side) was so salty it tasted like someone had accidentally dropped a salt shaker in it. The salad was wilty and old. The waiter behaved like I had really put him out when I requested the bread they typically serve with a meal. Not going back. And this is someone who has celebrated many family meals there while my children were growing up.

Very impressed starting with a warm welcome from the host. After being seated in the patio area, I was greeted by a very helpful server, Kat. My meal, teriyaki salmon, Brussels’, and wontons, was great. Definitely will be back, probably once a week. Ambience, service, and entree all excellent.

We had reservations for 4pm for dinner because we had to be at a show at 6:30pm. It took over an hour to get our food. They kept forgetting the appetizers we ordered. We will definitely choose a different restaurant next time.

Bristol Bar & Grille - HighlandsResponded on September 23, 2023
Hi Anonymous, I want to apologize for the slow service last night. I take full responsibilty. The kettle chips, are potato chips, however we offer skillet fries wich are potatoes sliced, fried, and seasoned. Hopefully the service issue won't keep you from coming back. Have a great day!

Still having issues with enough staff to carry the load. Wait time on drinks was unnecessary. Was prompted for food Order 20 minutes after drinks were ordered. Simply explained we would wait for drinks, then order food. Then waited another 15 minutes before drinks arrived. Server ( 1 of 2 ), explained that he was covering so many tables he may forget something so just call him over and he would work on any items that he forgot. Food was better than the service. Overall, we feel there's more going on and it's sad. There's a vibe of defeat living there. With a huge mid-week opportunity because of great weather, this neat place should be a kind spot after work with servers jumping over each other delivering drinks and food. Sadly, that may be part of days gone by.

Hi Jmeady, Yes we were short on staff this Friday and I will make the arrangements to assure it dosn't happen again. I apologize for your wait and for forgotten items. It is 100% my fault. The Bristol Bar and Grille is very special to me and so many others. I hope that you will come back again and give us a chance. Have a great day! Cindy (General Manager)

Sounds like you had the Crispy Fish Special. That sauce is a Thai Chili sauce and it is a little on the sweet side. Glad your friends enjoyed the burger and pork dishes. Hope you come again soon and try one of those options. Cindy (General Manager)

My reservation was made for 930pm (after my daughter’s graduation). While sitting in her graduation the restaurant calls and leaves a voicemail (because I’m not answering calls at that time) telling me the kitchen and bar closes at 930pm. Thankfully we arrived to the restaurant a little early and were able to order food, but it was frustrating to be rushed and told this was an error on open table’s side.
