The Bath Priory Hotel & Restaurant

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

The Priory is our special occasion lunching place. Again, we were not disappointed. Menu varied and delicious, staff competent, knowledgeable and charming. The whole team made it very enjoyable. My only comment is that the capaletti were offered without accompanying vegetables. When I asked I was given a vegetable accompaniment, but I am surprised, because surely many people who don't want too much meat do want veg.

Excellent attentive but not intrusive waiting staff. Lovely food, especially enjoyed the chestnut veloute and my husband loved his venison. We have eaten here many times and look forward to doing so again. Lunch menu very good value .
