Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Bristol

My partner and I had a great time here celebrating a post-Valentine's dinner. We ordered their warm prosciutto wrapped appetizer special, chicken stroganoff, bacon-infused meatloaf (w/gruyere mashed potatoes), and pumpkin sundae dessert. I, as well, ordered one of their mocktails, the sage advice. None of the dishes--nor my drink--were disappointing aside from a couple small personal preferences. The value was overall quite good too considering the food, services, and atmosphere; our total came to around $110 after tip. Speaking of the service, our waitress was very attentive and helpful, as were the others milling about. They were consistent in checking in after food was delivered and kept us updated on when we could expect our next round. We will definitely consider going back in the future!

Valentine’s day dinner was excellent! We had not been to this restaurant before. Off Thames Street in Bristol, drive thru the arch way toward the water to find ample parking. We were greeted by the hostess and sat inside near the fireplace. We ordered apps dinner drinks and desert. Our server was Matt who was friendly and answered all our questions. Great food drinks and service. This and a waterfront view too! A+ experience.

Last night was the best Valentine’s Day I have ever had! The ambiance at Basta was incredible. The amount of care and attention that went into the decor was second to none! The roses hanging from the ceiling was stunning! Now, let’s talk about the meal, four course prefixed menu for two people and only 150.00!! Are you kidding? The choices were fantastic and the plates came out of the kitchen looking like masterpieces . I had the pistachio encrusted cod with beet gnocchi, fantastic! My guy had flank steak over mashed with vegetables, the meat was cooked beautifully. Our wait staff Alex took great care of us! Can’t wait to go back!

A very comfortable and quiet place, where the food is always delicious, service is great, and it's our go-to restaurant for a nice dinner out.

We always have a great experience at the Boat House in the summer, and eating there in February was as good if not better! The food was excellent; as my wife, who has celiac, went with the Grilled Salmon and root veggies and I went outside my comfort zone for the pastrami rubbed swordfish on rye with some terrifc cole slaw...their version of a reuben. The service was terrific and the prices more than reasonable. A great night out...I couldn't believe how full the restaurant was on a blustery night, but we were in and out in record time.
