Third time visiting this lovely restaurant when we are in Bristol. Enjoyed every time but Olga made today even more special as she was so attentive, smiley and extra nice to our 8 year old daughter. We have only ever had brunch here but will definitely be returning for dinner. Gorgeous Bloody Mary and pancakes too!

Went there to celebrate a birthday. Booking a table was super easy and was able to make a request to sit in the window which was greatly appreciated. All of the staff were amazing and friendly, nothing seemed too much of a bother and the food was out of this world! The pizza genuinely was the best either of us had eaten, it was clearly fresh made with high quality ingredients, but beyond that the marinara sauce was divine, it was like we were in Italy. And to top it all off we had a gorgeous view of the river lit up by fairy lights which set the mood. I cannot recommend this place highly enough and can't wait to come back again... And if you do, order the Shark Attack.

10/10. I came the other night when the weather was lovely and was excited to eat outside. The team were so accommodating, I didn’t have to wait long for food. The calamari and the chicken pasta were brilliant. Will be definitely coming back again when I’m next in Bristol

Went to Aqua Welshback for my dinner birthday and it was wonderful. The food was delicious, and presented so beautifully. Our waiter was so good and also available. Atmosphere was good. The menu offers a variety for everyone and pricing is also good.

We came here for Valentine’s Day, and we had a lovely evening. The staff were so lovely and friendly. The food we had was absolutely amazing. The salmon was gorgeous and full of flavour and moisture. It was seasoned well. I loved the presentation of our dishes. The atmosphere was very warm, welcoming, and intimate. We had some lovely cocktails and the service was excellent. We got asked if we wanted olives and focaccia, which we thought was complimentary as we already ordered starters, but we had to pay for it. At least we know for next time, as I’d definitely go back to this restaurant.

Had good Sunday lunch here. Good atmosphere, service was great. Got a bit loud as it filled up - seems room acoustics gets more important as i get older! Nice food though - with a price to match.

Great food, worth the price and great customer service. Their mocktails are 5 and they accommodate to specific dietary requirements, for example they were able to replace the wine sauce with a non-alcoholic alternative - the waiter suggested a creamy cheese sauce which was lovely.
