Plenty of deliciousness here! Quick friendly service even though it was a full house by the time we received our meal (7.15pm). Wish we lived here, it would be a regular choice.

We had such a lovely welcome and really enjoyed the piano music (but it wasn't too overbearing). The food was top notch and reasonable value too

About the restaurant
We want to raise awareness of the vast network of local producers and winemakers whose lives and livelihoods revolve around the treasures of the table, so we’ve thrown out our regular menu to pay homage to the culinary treasures that exist throughout Greece.
The sharing of food and conversation is a human ritual as old as time.
Meze is the ultimate expression of this passion. In the old times in Greece, the offer of numerous small selected dishes was a sign of generous hospitality. We hope you will enjoy ours…

About the restaurant
DRINK, EAT & SLEEP IN THE HEART OF BATH
A Georgian Inn with uncommon quality, The Griffin has been welcoming locals and visitors to Bath for nearly 300 years.

Tucked a stone’s throw away from the bustling city centre, the pub offers a lively, but laidback space to unwind – over a pint, over a meal or overnight.

We’ve got outstanding beer, wine and spirits behind the bar, with no end of cosy corners to enjoy them.

We’re here for the proper pub.

About the restaurant
Close to the Theatre Royal, Bill's is great for pre-show dinner or post-show drinks (or the other way around). Take your seats because the three-course show is about to begin. With classic recipes with a fresh twist you'll be shouting 'encore!', but don't worry, you can come back as many times as you like.

We visited Revo for a celebration meal and a booking of 11 and it was brilliant. Lovely setting, informal dining and good value food. The only thing we would have changed would have been having an option to order drinks at the bar during the meal-a pay as you go option individually to make it easier to cater for different paces/types of drinking- rather than try and work it all out with the bill at the end- but the staff were brilliant at accommodating that at the table as best they could- hence the rating. Good value food, informal setting but lovely ambience and decor.

About the restaurant
Robun is a tribute to Japanese author Kanagaki Robun and his 1872 book Seiyō ryōritsū, which introduced Western barbecue to Japan.

Our modern-day interpretation of Yakiniku specialises in sharing plates of beautiful robata grilled dished large plates fused with elements from across Asia, paired with inspired cocktails and an extensive choice of Japanese whiskeys or sake in the most inviting and sociable of settings.

Alongside our innovative selection of sashimi, salads and small plates, our fresh sushi is served in a variety of creative incarnations including soft-shell crab futomaki roll with kimchi mayo and a tobiko-topped nigiri.

Upstairs in the Kanagaki Suite, we provide an events space and Karaoke bar set to host celebrations and events, from bespoke meetings to the ultimate party.

Robun is the place to relax, unwind and enjoy sharing plates with friends and family. It will definitely leave you wanting more.

Great food and cocktails. Corn and pineapple were the best dishes. Meat dishes were very oily!! Needed more napkins. Service fantastic. Didn’t enjoy the compost flies!
