    This was my second time at Bristol, and once again I was absolutely blown away. From the fresh baked biscuits with honey butter to the fantastic happy hour deals, this might be my favorite restaurant in the area. Our server, Matt, was over-the-top fantastic. His recommendations were on point, he was genuinely fun to talk to, and he made us feel completely welcomed. They even split up our meals so my date and I could share, which was a great touch. The food was great again, though I was disappointed to see the shrimp scampi off the menu since it was my favorite. The spicy cauliflower wasn't my favorite, but the oysters were solid, especially with the discount. The smoked old fashioned Matt poured table-side was awesome, and he even left the extra whiskey in the smoked bottle. The only real disappointment was the fourteen dollar upcharge to add shrimp to a salad. I will definitely be returning again.

    Carrot Cake

    I grew up near the Creve Coeur location, and I'd go there every once in a while back in the day, on the rare occasion when my parents had somehow caught a lick. Maybe my grandparents died and they inherited $300, or something to that effect. We were gonna go there for Mother's Day, but we couldn't get a table. I drove by on the way home this evening, and the lot was full of those mini SUVs normies swear by. It's definitely the kind of place you'd take your mother on Mother's Day. Women love seafood, and it costs a lot of money, so it shows that you care. They can take a selfie out front and use it to stunt on anyone whose child took them to a Red Lobster. There's a special prix fixe menu that they wheel out on special occasions, including Mother's Day, that might save you about $5--but only if you were planning to get a salad, which you don't really need. There's nothing really special about their salads. I guess you're getting a little roughage, and a little extra food to compensate for entrees that aren't particularly large, and it's not any more than you'd pay to order an entree and a dessert a la carte. And you're going to want that dessert. The Carrot Cake is the best thing this place serves. I don't know if they're baking it themselves or ordering it from a catalog. Probably the latter. I didn't bother to check to see what it costs, but I'd be willing to ask my parents to pay as much as $15 for a slice. It's positively decadent. It probably cost me a day or two off the end of my life, and it was worth it. What do old people even do? For the appetizer I got the Caesar Salad, and for the entree I got the Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes. There were no real appetizers, like chicken wings or loaded potato skins, on the prix fixe menu. There was a wide selection of entrees, and they seemed to be the exact same servings you'd get if you ordered them a la carte. Though it should be noted that anything here will run you. It's not like they're doing you a favor. Everything that I had was pretty good, but not in any way that was truly impressive. The crab cakes were small. Really, it was just one jumbo lump crab cake split into two. They must think we're dumb. The mashed potatoes were less decadent than I recall them being back in the 1990s, which I realize was probably before our server was born, but I don't care. If I can remember it, it still counts. In general, this is just not the classy affair they want it to be. I don't know what the food is like at the Creve Coeur location, but it looks way cooler. This place has different signage and a completely different vibe. It's built into the kind of hotel your sales job puts you up in when they bring you to town to attempt to fleece the elderly. The whole thing has that same prefab vibe that everything in St. Charles County has. With all due respect. I'd return, but only if my mother insisted and my father was paying.

    We had a wonderful experience at Bristol! Our food was delicious and the waitstaff were so attentive. Some of our favorites were oysters Rockefeller and Bristol's signature rolls! We went for a birthday celebration and it was the perfect date night experience.

    Everything was amazing. We had a reservation and were seated immediately at our time. Our server was Star and she was aptly named. Everything was served promptly, correctly and fresh. This is one of our favorite places to go for great seafood and steaks. The carrot cake is also a must.

    Anniversary note
    David B.

    We've celebrated many anniversaries at the Bristol in Creve Coeur because of our love for seafood and their consistently excellent food. However, this year we decided to try the Bristol in O'Fallon for our anniversary celebration, and it was a delightful experience. The restaurant has a beautiful, open design--much more spacious than the original location--and it was spotless. The food was just as incredible as we've come to expect. We both opted for the 3-course meal, starting with the lobster bisque. The bisque was outstanding and held special meaning for us. When we were newly married and on a tight budget, my father-in-law would take us to the Bristol, and the lobster bisque was his favorite. As we enjoyed it, my wife reflected on how much her dad loved that soup. Though he passed away two years ago, having the bisque felt like a small way to honor him and his memory. For our mains, we enjoyed perfectly cooked salmon and swordfish, paired with flavorful sides like cauliflower au gratin, lemon asparagus risotto, and potatoes. Each dish was fresh and absolutely delicious. For dessert, we indulged in a decadent chocolate cake with raspberry ice cream and a warm apple pie dish (the exact name escapes me). We rarely take the time to enjoy a long, relaxing 3-course meal, but sitting near the fireplace, reminiscing about our lives together, and savoring a fantastic meal made this anniversary truly special.

    Bristols is my go-to when I am in town on a business trip. The restaurant is clean and has a nice interior. The staff is always welcoming and kind. To top it all off, the food is delicious and flavorful. If you love crab, I would highly recommend their crab cakes. One of my favorite appetizers here. For the entree, I went with the pan seared sea scallops on their specials menu. Got it with the lemon asparagus and herb roasted potatoes.

    Mini lobster roll appetizer

    Valentines Day ... I am traveling and stay at the Hilton next door. Hilton's restaurant is closed at 7:30pm. They give me a 15% discount card for Bristol. They found seating for me at the bar. Service was prompt, attentive and knowledgeable. I order the (two) mini lobster roll appetizer. Very tasty. Good presentation. Fries were very good and not over-salted. Lobster mac & cheese - insufficiently lobster-y; but otherwise, good. Beer cold. Their hoppy-iest IPA ... insufficiently hoppy, but served cold in a chilled glass. Noisy. Bar seating is a tad bit cramped.

Our waitress told us that when the new owners took over they were able to buy some of the original recipes so people still come in for things they used to enjoy from the Madison's ownership. At our last visit we ordered the following: large combination salad to share amongst three people, fettuccini Alfredo, rigatoni carbonara and the beef mudega. The beef mudega came with soup which was ratatouille. For dessert we ordered the turtle cheesecake. Everything was great especially the salad (they're known for their salads) and the carbonara except for the beef mudega. It was not prepared the usual way that I am accustomed to so it tasted very off in my opinion. I could not bring myself to finish it, but I was fairly full from the salad anyhow. I just know not to order that again. I ate some of my spouses rigatoni carbonara and it was delicious. One of the few places left that actually tries to prepare carbonara with more costly ingredients than bacon bits. LOL The ratatouille was okay but not great. It takes a special skill to make great ratatouille so I'm not judging the whole place on one soup. The turtle cheesecake was wonderful but I will warn you it has a lot of caramel on it if that's not your thing, I wouldn't order it. Be sure and sign up for their rewards program as it offers $25 off a future visit after you've accumulated $250 in dining experiences. When weather warms up, we will be trying out the outdoor dining they have, but for now it's inside for us.

I followed up with the owner only after I never received the resolution that was agreed-upon in the restaurant. I was initially told a refund would be issued, and I waited a full billing cycle as advised by my bank to allow time for it to process. The refund never came. When I followed up, the owner refused to honor what was previously agreed upon. I even asked them to review their surveillance footage to verify that an error was made, but they declined to do so. Instead of taking accountability and resolving the issue professionally, they chose not to correct it. Mistakes happen I understand that. What matters is how a business handles them. Unfortunately, this was handled poorly, and I cannot recommend a business that refuses to stand behind its own errors. When the owner refused to correctthe issue and blamed me instead for not following up sooner, I told the owner that I would be pursuing the matter further than the owner said they were not going to do anything if I did so. In hindsight trying to blackmail me so that I would receive a partial refund and not warn others.

I'm suspect they were short staffed in the kitchen. Our server, Christine was really sweet but seemed rather new, due to some of the answers to questions about the menu. I ordered coffee and the cup she brought me was literally room temp, not warm, completely cool. My Caesar salad with salmon was good. Salmon was good but not wild caught I'm sure. As usual my frog legs were fried to perfection. The honey corn muffins were amazing as usual. My wife had the jambalaya pasta and it was delicious and seasoned very well and the pasta was perfect. I really like Gulf Shores but the time we spent waiting and the cool cup of coffee reduced my rating to 3 stars for our experience. The staff seemed to be working very hard d, but they also had some large groups. I never expected it to be so busy, so late in the evening. I'm glad they were busy but I hope they figure out the staffing issue.

The employee at the counter was helpful while ordering, though the experience did feel a bit rushed. One small disappointment was that the sodas are canned rather than fountain drinks. On the positive side, the restaurant was very clean inside and had around 5-6 tables available for dining.
