Review of: Ezo Restaurant, Bishopston, Bristol

3/5 (minimum 1)

by tom on 08 Dec 2006

This restaurant is fairly new to the Promenade on Gloucester Road. I've only eaten there once and would go back, but it was a weird and fairly frustrating experience. The food was excellent, no question. All of our meals were delicious, the atmosphere was cosy and intimate despite every table being full.

The big issue for me was the service. Several times we asked for things that never arrived (cold meze for starters, more drinks) until we asked again, leaving me with the feeling that the staff hadn't understood in the first place. After a while it got really annoying, leaving me constantly trying to get the waiter's attention instead of enjoying the meal.

Of the two waiting staff working that night, one was really friendly, though not necessarily effective. The second was just plain weird. He turned a polite request for another beer into some kind of weird confrontation, that may have been a joke, but went on way too long and felt quite aggressive. In the end we were slightly undercharged. Given how disorganised the staff were I wasn't surprised, and given the level of service I wasn't complaining.
