Our dinner itself was brilliant, yet not overly expensive, and my starters consisting of sliced duck meat was exquisite, very tasty. I succombed to a "moules-frites" main course, and while the mussels were well cooked and tasty, I have to say that the chips were not truly the french fries you'd get in Brussels, the mussel haven... Anyway, the home-made mayo and tartare sauces were great, and aside from the surprise of seeing my colleague getting served her ordered of a bread platter (I'd never seen that, ever before), the night was a great one.

Downstairs is a cafe/bar and delicatessen and up stairs is the restaurant. I've never actually eaten in the main restaurant as the food served in cafe is of a very high standard and there is always a great selection that changes frequently. The Deli also sells a lovely selection of fresh bread, cheese, cakes and other great food. It's a great place to buy gifts or create a food hamper. Today I went for a tart with celeriac remoulade. I can't remember what the tart was called but it was delicious. My mum had the fish and chips and which is a Bordeaux quay fav for her and it didn't disappoint!

Quick glance: + convenient location…read more+ cheap set menu for lunch + large venue + good portion size... - ... but food is nothing to shout about - service of variable quality I came here for a Saturday lunch after a tour around the Roman Baths partly because of its convenient location. Despite the hundreds of tourists milling about, we were seated at Tilleys promptly as there were many tables tucked away downstairs. The restaurant offered a cheap option for lunch, costing only £12.50 per person for two courses (or £15 for three courses). Some mains of the day ask for a £1 supplement, which is very reasonable. On the day we visited, for example, Tilleys had cod as well as lemon sole as a special, which attracted a supplement, as well as whiting at no additional cost. I found the waitress serving us to be slightly abrupt. When she told us about the special mains of the day, she briefly explained there was the whiting, the lemon sole with butter and lemon, and cod with parsley and butter, without elaborating, for example, that the whiting were breaded fillets or how the other fish were prepared. (It was only after we had ordered, I heard the other waitress explaining in more details about how the fish was prepared and served to our neighbouring table). When we ordered mains, which came with one side detailed on the menu as vegetable of the day, potato of the day, etc, we had to ask how the potato was prepared, and then prompted our waitress to tell us what the vegetable was. During our meal, our water jug was empty and our waitress came over to ask us if we wanted anything. Before I could say "more water please" she had already turned around and almost ready to dash. I would like to put this down to inexperience and ignorance rather than a rude service, but it did make for a disconcerted experience. The food itself was nothing to shout about. The starter was more visually appealing than the mains, and the fish I had (cod) and my partner ordered (whiting) was slightly overcooked, but still edible and we walked away full. It's a little darker in the basement, with a rather somber ambiance. The waitress who served us seemed a bit tired, and the food itself represents the height of British cuisine from the late 80s (Tilleys is a family-run restaurant founded in 1983). It's a good, cheap place for lunch, although I wouldn't classify it as cheerful.

Well, the dinner tonight turned me into a romantic gushing girl who experienced delight with the meal here. Bambie, the wife, and I ordered the 3 course prix fixe meals. There are several choices on that menu. We're dining here on a Monday evening. Normally one does not expect the 'A' team to be on duty. But, my god, the meal I just ate was one of the best I've been fortunate to consume in ages. Quick details: Gazpacho, fresh as a summer garden. Spring pea pate delightfully minty and wonderfully rich. Onglet steak as good or better than any I've eaten anywhere in France. Perfectly sautéed sea bream fillet tasted like it was fished from the sea this morning. Pomme frites, creamy and crisp. Panna cotta and espresso that would make an Italian swoon with pleasure. Hey wait, I'm Italian - yes, I swooned. Top drawer on every aspect. Here's the kicker. The 3 course prix fixe dinner costs £18!!!! Wine by the glass is the good stuff. Certainly better than any and all that I've had in the past fortnight while driving around the UK, eating in both very good to mediocre restaurants. 250ml glasses priced from £5.50 to £ 8.25. Okay, I sense that you are skeptical.. "Not possible, truly well made delicious meal from organic sources in Bath, England at bargain basement prices?" Yep, miracles sometimes happen. Experiences like this make me release my customary cynicism for a while. Tonight, I'm so glad that it happened. Wish that it would occur more often. Table service: friendly, humanly authentic, efficient. Dining room ambiance: euro cafe. Casual, nicely decorated. Perfect for a family dinner or a romantic date. I LOVE THIS BISTRO. I hope to remember the pleasure it brought me tonight for the remainder of my life. Note: As of this date I have written over 1720 Yelp reviews since 2006. It is probably the most florid and ridiculous. And it is 100% sincere. If you are within 100 miles of Bath England, make an effort to eat dinner here. 48 hour advance reservations mandatory.

My get out of here alarm did not sound because 100's of TripAdvisor reviews proclaim that the food is well made & tasty. NOT TRUE. Duck salad: burnt meat. Way over sauced, a literal pool of miso dressing in the bowl. Beef carpaccio: meat okay. Grated Parmesan cheese, too unctuous on top ruined the delicacy of the thin beef slices. Duck confit: terrible. Not confit but stewed sometime in the remote past, frozen then microwave re-warmed for service. I saw into the open kitchen. The microwave was getting plenty of use. Chicken with creamy sauce: acceptable. By no means high cuisine. Ate it because I was hungry, did not savor it. Honey cake with caramel: again warmed in microwave. Which made the cake gummy. Service: hit & miss. One engaged, happy & helpful server. Other one was sullen, perfunctory and really needs to acquire employment elsewhere. She might be happier working in a job that required no contact with customers. £23 for a bottle of Chilean Merlot that sells in supermarket for £7.68 Total tariff: £53 after removing the duck confit disaster. Go elsewhere.
