Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really good, a very quirky wine bar with great food I'd say. My friends loved it too, service was just enough and great food options. Not a vegetarian however was not in the mood for meat nor fish so had the Jerusalem artichoke, hit the...spot for sure. Loved the ambiance as well so 5 out of 5More

We'd misbooked a table for 2 when there were 3 of us. It was rammed in the restaurant (First day of the Christmas Market in Bath: VERY busy!), so no chance of changing at the last minute but the staff were helpful and we got...a table in the covered courtyard. Relaxed prompt service, good food & nice concept (you order a range of dishes a bit like tapas, but they just arrive when they're ready). I can't imagine anyone would ever be disappointed coming here. But double check you've got your booking right!More

The tables were placed very close together indeed and the briskness of the staff, though very welcome with a small plates service, gave the impression we were not being encouraged to linger over coffee and liqueurs but to eat up, drink up, pay up, and...go. This was a great pity as the food and wine were excellent. I wish I could say the same for the waiter, who clearly had issues and came very close to spoiling our evening. We wish we knew why he didn't like us, but it was evident. We'll think twice before going again. He - and the unmistakeably designed rapid cusromer throughput - let down the good work of the kitchen staff and the other serving staff.More

After arriving in Bath and making our way to the cottage we'd rented, we went out to explore the immediate neighborhood and walked by the place, stopping to determine whether it was a wine shop (it is) or a restaurant (which it also is). They...weren't open that early for customers, but we did see enough to impress us that we made a reservation for a late lunch the next day (a Saturday) and eagerly awaited our return. Upon our arrival the next day, we were warmly greeted at the front bar and then handed over to a nice person who escorted us to our seats in the main dining area, past which there is another garden room that looked just lovely (which is why it was filled with people that day). The decor is stylish yet relaxed and, after being seated, we were given menus to look at and left to make our decisions. The menu is quite large and offers something for every appetite - veggie options, fish, meat, cheese boards, etc., but the first bit of business involved deciding on glasses of wine from their ample list of choices. I chose a glass of Viognier (250ml for about 13GBP) and my wife ordered a smaller glass of a New Zealand Riesling (175ml for 10GBP) and then, after much thought, we selected a number of items to taste - a plate of roasted padron peppers, a plate of kohlrabi slaw, an order of polenta "fries" and one order each of the halibut and a local trout with sweet potato and spaghetti squash. Based on how we would feel after our main meal, we held off on ordering dessert. Since the delivery is tapas-style, we weren't sure what would arrive first, but then the roasted peppers arrived and, for the next hour or so, we slowly savored each and every item after it arrived. The quality of ingredients was top-notch, the preparation perfect, the sauces deftly-prepared, etc., and we found ourselves sharing every item and very sad when it was all gone. Hoping to keep the mood going for a bit more, we ordered their home made ice creams for dessert and those, too, were far above the norm. Service was swift and courteous, and the bill for the entire meal (inc VAT and service) came in at less than 90 GBP, so all I can say is that if you're in the area and looking for a wine bar/bistro at which to enjoy a fine meal, this place should be high on your list. Enjoy!More

Pre theatre visit to this lovely wine bar and bottle shop, serving fine dinning style small plates. Good value for the quality of food and drinks. Just a bit chilly sat next to the entrance door with no heating on.

A cosy and friendly wine bar & restaurant. All the food is small plates, although the portions were fairly generous. A fairly small but very varied menu made it quite difficult to choose as there were so many delicious sounding options. All our choices were...really good. Wines can be chosen either by the glass or by the bottle, which means you can try different wines with the different dishes. Corkage is something slightly different and well worth a visit.More

The concept is great and everything that we tasted was delicious. You probably need at least three or four dishes each to constitute a proper meal and the cost does mount without you realising it. The atmosphere is good and the staff were generally friendly.

Really memorable, special dinner at this gorgeous, unpretentious place. Lots of choice, wide ranging prices, and a range options for veggie, meat eaters or pescatarians alike. Service was superb.

A fabulous restaurant that came recommended by our Airbnb hosts and didn't disappoint. Delicious selection of tapas/ small plates, it's hard to choose a favourite because it was all so good. A cabbage dish suggested by our waiter was certainly a highlight. Beautiful surroundings and...a nice ambience without being too noisy.More

Fantastic place for trying out superb wines with imaginative small plates. Pretty setting, with foliage and brightly lit birdcages. All the staff were fun and welcoming and recommended excellent wines we hadn’t tried. Cheese board and salmon a must here!

I’ve never been so disappointed with a meal out. This place is not cheap but sadly the prices being paid in no way reflect the level of service, experience, food or drinks received. The “restaurant” itself is ‘fine’ but does have a ‘cafe’ feel to...it. It doesn’t feel set up for an evening meal experience with rows of tiny little tables. You can hear the conversations of those sat next to you 30cm away. Details matter. When I go out for an evening meal, I don’t particularly want paper napkins or billy basic wine glasses - especially in a wine bar. There was nothing special about this place for the price paid. The service wasn’t great. Staff wear shorts with high tops and trainers and look scruffy and unenthusiastic. I had hoped to have a real experience here and the opportunity to ponder over some different exciting wines but everything just felt so rushed from the moment we stepped in. Told to select four to six dishes and asked what wine we wanted to drink two seconds after sitting down. Asked for advice and recommendations and was brought back a warm glass of uninspiring white wine in a cloudy wine glass. The food is fine but frankly, underwhelming. Not sure what I ate and came out £130 lighter and hungry. What’s worse, it came out within 5 minutes of ordering. This was supposed to be the main event of our evening and it was all over and done with within the hour. Like I said, disappointing.More

Nice place but absolutely terrible service from the manager. We had a dish Confit Duck which was so salty, it was awful. When we brought it to the attention of the young lady who was serving us, evidently the manager was not interested, made no...effort to speak with and then we were ignored for the rest of the evening whereby we had to take the bill to the cashier.More

Hello Joanna! In July, I think the outside would be best for atmosphere. The inside is quite nice, but I think it would be hard to beat the outside on a summer evening.
