Blazing Bird - Bristol

With my family let in to eat a bite and a drink early a sunny summer evening. the drink order went lost and took 20 minutes before we had any refreshments, not sure why, it was not busy. eating was actually quite good, although the calamari was very small pieces (probably the last pieces in the bottom of the bag). my beef-burrito was very tasty. the part of having a table with a view of the millennium place was the number of beggars who came to ask for money or a zigarette, entirely from the meal.

Honestly, it 's not the first place I thought of after a while since visiting Bristol. It was a late lunch with friends and the menu appears to cover most bases. Environment is as expected clean and fresh. Welcomed as a party of 4 and asked if the table was suitable as there were other options. The outlook of a metal dome, water feature, media screen and other 'art ' installations feels industrial but slightly like a site of departure for further travel/adventures. Once sat at a rather comfy 1/2 booth and seating for 8ish we viewed the menus. Ladies loved the cocktail selection and while some of the beers were bottled the rothhammer red was an interesting and pleasant find. Now the rest consisted of a couple of draft Corona pints, 2 pina-colada, 2 tutti-frutti, 2 vanilla mai tai, lemonade (driver) and a double Havana 7yr (guilty). All arrived and were enjoyed accordingly. At some point between all these tipples the food arrived. Unfortunately we were there during a transition of menus/products and the choices were limited by this. Following a healthy selection of starters and mains that all enjoyed and devoured without mercy. The pudding choices/time arrived... Now affogato was not a choice... The lady that was serving the table agreed to acquire one. The second espresso, as the first had chilled was thoughtful and unexpected. All 4 had a very pleasant time and don 't disregard 'chains ' it 's the front of house staff that can make any establishment (not forgetting the chef). Oh and boy the goat curry is good but a little warm. Thank you for the second espresso it was just the little bit extra and not forgotten.

Great food and atmosphere. Waiter called Luke talked through the food and drinks menu and knew what was not available. Very impressed with the service and the food. I know it is a chain restaurant but the service made it stand out and really added to my weekend. Rare to go anywhere and feel like the staff actually care, so was a really nice change. 5 stars due to the service

Great service, were fine when we asked if my dog could sit outside with us. Friendly waitress and awesome food

I had a fantastic experience at the restaurant. My brother has an egg allergy, and the staff went out of their way to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. They explained how they would do this, including with our cocktail ingredients. The waiter was very knowledgeable, informing us about which other dishes we ordered would not be suitable for my brother. He was also incredibly friendly and had an impressive memory for our order! The atmosphere was lovely, and the food was excellent, as always.
