Palomar

1. To celebrate my friend’s birthday we went to the Palomar restaurant and it was the best choice. Food, service and atmosphere all at a high level. Is the only restaurant in Bristol to have Seafood Boil on the menu. The portion is so big that we couldn’t eat it all. The amount of seafood in this portion in relation to the price is huge. Very fresh oysters. Birthday glass of Prosecco for my friend was a nice addition from the restaurant. I highly recommend it and I will definitely come back there myself

2. Had a wonderful Birthday dinner at Palomar, Bristol. The manager was sweet and took very good care of us. They even set up a Birthday table for us. Their seafood boil comes with a lot of variety of shell fish and their Cornish mussels are to die for! The oysters were also fresh and flavourful. They had a good wine selection and refreshing cocktails, especially their watermelon daiquiri and espresso martini. Definitely a must have experience!

   Service 15/10
   Staff won’t bother you with a fake “how is everything” like some places do, they will genuinely interact with you and you feel welcome right away. They are all clearly enjoying working with each other and hold a unique talent each such as cocktail creating or serving or cooking and it just makes you feel part of it.

   Atmosphere 9/10
   Awesome to hear music from such a range, old green day, crowded house, the smiths and more, it definitely gave me a better cozy feeling than other restaurants I’ve been to recently that simply play theme music.

   The lighting and interior is great as you’ll see.

   Food 10/10
   Right well, here we go… Damn! We thought we’d get the surf and turf sharing meal. Seemed a little higher price but worked out cheaper per person than you’d usually pay for a meal… Then this huge platter came out cooked to, honestly, perfection. We somehow finished it all and the quality of ingredients was just spot on (far to good for what we paid!). Streak medium rare, perfect, calamari quality was fresh just as were the muscles, fish was crispy and delicious. I mean even the cheesecake was just perfect. I really can’t boast this place enough.

   Price 10/10
   Might seem a little high at first, but as soon as you taste a drink or meal, you realise you’d pay twice that and still be happy. They do these after 8 cocktails and it tastes just like the brand!

   Cannot wait to go back.

4. Great seafood restaurant! Has tapas options as well as main meals.
   Also has non-seafood choices available.
   Would recommend the mussels and the kedgeree 😊

5. The food was absolutely amazing. We went for a friend’s 21st bday and the service was splendid with great decorations and a complimentary drink and dessert.

   We ordered a surf and turf and some focaccia and everything tasted fantastic with just the right amount of flavour. More importantly, the quantity of the serving was certainly more than what we paid for! And easily the best surf and turf we have had in Bristol with the finest ingredients.

   I highly recommend this restaurant to anybody who loves seafood. It is a bargain for the high quality of service, ingredients and ambience.
