Bristols is my go-to when I am in town on a business trip. The restaurant is clean and has a nice interior. The staff is always welcoming and kind. To top it all off, the food is delicious and flavorful. If you love crab, I would highly recommend their crab cakes. One of my favorite appetizers here. For the entree, I went with the pan seared sea scallops on their specials menu. Got it with the lemon asparagus and herb roasted potatoes.

My husband took me tonight for my birthday and it was a Super busy night with large groups. I have to say our food was great and our Server, Alyssa, was AMAZING!! She was attentive, kind, patient and apologetic for our wait. She did so great you'd never know it was an unusually busy night. Class act. Thank you Alyssa, we'll ask for you every time!

The ambiance was very nice. I had the Atlantic salmon with asparagus and twice baked potatoes. Someone came around offering fresh baked rolls that were a bit on the dry side. We were served honey butter to go along with it. My salmon was good but the asparagus was on the just warm side. The twice baked potatoes were ok. Overall I did feel like it was a bit overpriced. Our server was nice but was slow and humor was on the dry side.

We also visited this spot when we were in town for a conference and it was definitely out of the way from where we were staying. However, it was well worth the drive as the food was delicious. The restaurant is located as an out building in a strip mall area in a neighborhood. Which, driving up, was a totally unassuming place. There is plenty of parking around the establishment, so no worries there. On the inside, it's a lot of dark yellow and dark wood. The ambiance was nice, and due to the high ceilings, sound was not overbearing and you could hear everyone at the table (there were 10 of us). I could even Shazam the music and pick it up. We started with a number of wines and recommend cocktails which were all good selections especially from the aid of our server. She was extremely helpful in drink selection, refills, and food recommendations. We thought we were coming to more of a steakhouse with fish options and it was more of a fish place with some steak options. However, there was plenty of dishes for any palate and all were good. We started off with several appetizers to share and the were all good: the Blue Hill Bay Mussels were fresh and tasty (so I was told), calamari wasn't overly friend (which I love but have learned I'm allergic to and cannot eat - bummer), goat cheese bruschetta, and the bang bang rock shrimp (which was my choice and a good one!) I cannot recall what everyone ordered for their mains, but I got the 8oz filet combo with the maple-glazed bourbon shrimp. The steak was cooked to perfection (which to me is medium) and the shrimp were large, fresh, and flavorful. It came with two sides and I ordered the haricots verts and twice baked potato. Both were delicious. I then opted to take the chocolate velvet cake back with me to my hotel and told them not to give me the raspberry ice cream as it would melt. Well, the way the packed it, it didn't melt. The cake was a moist chocolatey goodness that many restaurants miss the mark on, but Bristol nailed with ease and the side of the raspberry ice cream was a nice accountremont with it. If you're in the area. I highly recommend. This is easily a fave spot for me in the St. Louis area.

Had a lovely dinner with my boyfriend, his mom and stepdad. They were celebrating their anniversary. They have a vegetarian menu which mostly just all their vegetarian items on a separate menu for easy access. The pasta (what I ordered) is not on the regular menu. It was great. Pasta cooked well with fresh vegetables and olive oil. The table biscuits are very good too. Asparagus cooked perfectly. I've never had crème brûlée but I loved it. The service was great. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and wine selections. We were greeted by the manager. No complaints. Would return again.

After the server provided us with all the scrumptious options on the menu, we were presented with everything a customer would love. Each item allowed our palate to grasp the true taste of Bristol's cooking. The cooking is yum, the restaurant has an up-beat feel & the cleanliness is a plus.

Food was just ok nothing out of the ordinary. Prices were high but we expected that. Sea bass was skinny and not flaky like other places. Risotto and cauliflower sides were really good as was the lobster bisque. The twice baked potato dish and yukon gold potatoes were just ok, not a fan. Service was good and refills kept coming. Bread (biscuits) was very good. People dressed in shorts and tennis shoes but other people were a little dressier.
