The Bath Priory Hotel & Restaurant

Romantic ambiance, beautiful view of garden. Food was good but expensive.

Dinner was fabulous, service attentive and friendly and not too formal. Blackcurrant soufflé was delicious.

Good service good food

Special lunch menu for £36 including three courses and a glass of champagne. Some months since we were here (three friends meet up fairly regularly for lunch) and there's a new chef since we were here last year. The food was wonderful. Very different from the last chef or two we've experienced here. Notably, the size of the servings. We've never understood why Michelin starred restaurants must serve such small portions, but this is how it was. No more! Service, as always, was impeccable, friendly with good communication and helpful comments and information. The wine list is slightly more expensive than before, but the quality of wine is as always. It was a lovely day in February and we even got to walk around the lovely garden. We love this place and will probably be back more often now. Great.

First class food and service.

Wonderful service. Really exquisite. We were very impressed. The food was delicious. I really enjoyed the amuse bouche and the starters. We had Jerusalem artichoke veloute and bream cervichè. I would say the decor is looking quite tiered and in need of updating.

The dining experience was very good with the exception of the coffee. Firstly the coffee had been over cooked and tasted bitter. The coffee needs to be made more frequently. Secondly we were told that petit four would be with the coffee. They did not turn up despite a reminder from ourselves. That was disappointing.

First visit to the Bath Priory for dinner on a busy Saturday evening but the experience was very memorable.

A traditional country house hotel feel to our evening starts with a welcome cocktail in the lounge, a splendid room with an eclectic collection of oils on the wall and and roaring log fire. We deliberately chose a number of dishes on the menu to test the kitchen and Michael Nizzero and his team did not let us down. Delicate canapes with drinks were followed by elegant starters - in particular a massively flavoured consomme with truffle shavings and a spectacular crab dish combining an exciting combination of vegetables with the soft sweet flesh of the Cornish crab. Both the venison and the beef were cooked to perfection for our main courses - great robust sauces too and we finished our meal with the most exquisite souffle, once again cooked perfectly.

In addition to being fans of the food the front of house was also in top form: all members of the team were friendly and helpful but not too "in your face". Courses arrived effortlessly and plates were cleared without us realising - so professional. It was a busy evening but we never felt that the quality of service dropped as a result. The team performed really so well!

Overall, we had a lovely evening and would thoroughly recommend!

You still manage to provide an excellent level of service together with quality food,which has imagination.

Good service
