This is my first Yelp review…read more The atmosphere at Tulsi is exceptional. The music is well-sourced, the cherry trees are tasteful and pleasant, and the historic Pulteney bridge location makes this a unique fusion of old and new. However, the service at this restaurant is terrible. I arrived at a time when the restaurant was relatively quiet, and yet the four-person wait staff seemed overwhelmed. I ordered a beer from the tap and a main dish with a side of naan bread. I waited over 30 minutes for my beer to arrive, as the wait staff forgot the order, and then brought the wrong drink to the table, and the last time the waiter who appeared in charge had to pour the drink and bring it over. While waiting, three different waiters asked to take my order, after I had already ordered and informed them of such. When the food arrived over an hour after I ordered, it was not as described in the menu, was cold, and was mediocre. I had to ask them to confirm that it was what I ordered. I asked for the bill from the same waiter who took my order and paid as I did not want to wait to leave after I finished my meal. It is worth noting here that the bread and appetizers they bring (almost unsolicited) at the beginning of the meal are not free and total approximately 5 pounds. After finishing my meal and leaving the restaurant, one of the waitresses chased me down and had the audacity to accuse me of not paying in the middle of the crowded street. Very embarrassing.

This is a very authentic eighties style Indian restaurant with individual booths to sit in…read more Polite, prompt service and a good range of dishes on the menu. We ordered lamb tikka, prawn korma, pilau rice and 2 or 3 vegetable dishes. I tend to avoid very hot curries, but unfortunately, the prawn korma was too bland even for me and seemed to have been thickened with nothing more than mashed potato. I usually choose prawn biriani in Indian restaurants, but was put off by the 'vegetable sauce' on offer here (biriani ALWAYS comes with vegetable curry, which did not even feature on this menu). I probably wouldn't bother to eat here again as there are plenty of other Indian restaurants around.

We made a booking and were surprised that we were seated at a very small table flush with the glass…read morewall directly in front of the bar (when there were loads of other tables open the entire duration of our meal). It gave us no room to move our adjacent arms, so we kind of sat perched on the edge of our seat eating sideways. Another strange thing was that the server would not look at me or and never addressed me once; he exclusively spoke to my partner. So, atmospherically and service wise, the experience was both unpleasant and uncomfortable. And the food? It was okay. I appreciate that they have vegan and gluten-free options clearly labeled on the menu. We weren't asked about spice levels, so everything was MUCH hotter than we might have personally liked. So much so, that most of what we ordered tasted the same; it didn't help that much of what we ordered ended up being fried too. The Pakoras, Gobi 65, and Mogo Chips were nearly indistinguishable from one another. The Tandoori Broccoli could have been delicious if it wasn't so soggy; the Tofu Chili could have been nice, if it wasn't so spice-forward. The Bengal Jhalmuri (puffed rice shallots, raw mango, coriander chutney, and fresh pomegranate) was my favorite because it felt so different from everything else we tried; light and refreshing, and the variety of textures were interesting too. If you love heat more than flavor, this might be the place for you. For us, there are other restaurants we feel more welcome - and are more excited by the food - at.

The dishes were beautifully presented and absolutely scrumptious. The tikka wasn't served with rice on the side, which was unusual to us, but we've only had Indian food in the USA until today, so maybe it's a regional thing. We didn't have any room at a the end for desserts, but we saw a couple options pass by, and they looked just as fantastic as the rest of the food. Service was excellent. My kids, husband, and I voted The Mint Room as one of our all-time favorite Indian restaurants. We highly recommend it!

BOTTOM LINE: Although the food was great, the service left a bit of a bad aftertaste…read more Located next to the infamous Sally Lunn's, Oak (previously known as Acorn - get it?! - and still listed as such on Yelp) is located in the core area of Bath. It's a small space, and I can't imagine there being space for more than 25-30 diners (or even less), and each table as relatively small in size (more on this later). First, the good part. The food remains the main attraction, and ingredients across the board tasted consistently fresh. Whether it was the HAZELNUT RISOTTO, the ROASTED COURGETTES/ZUCCHINI, the BEETS, or the TOMATO SOUP, I found they were prepared to a high standard. The dishes are meant to be sharing plates, but this can cause some table real estate problems (also, more on this later). But now, the not-so-good part, the comparatively poorer service, especially when compared to similarly-priced restaurants (e.g., Sotto Sotto), or even less (e.g., Sally Lunn, Yak Yeti Yak, etc.), and then the gall to charge a higher service percentage of 12.5%. For example, my group of 5 experienced both the problems of servers removing plates prematurely (when there was clearly uneaten food), but also not removing plates UNLESS requested to do so, despite finished plates being stacked to make room for new dishes. Similarly, beyond the initial ordering of water and drinks, staff didn't follow up on this, and we had to request new water jugs throughout the meal. Finally, although staff atitudes weren't negative per se, they did seem somewhat indifferent/detached. All these points may seem nit-picky, but I think it's not unreasonable to expect better service at these prices. Ultimately, Oak comes up on many recommended restaurant lists, but after this experience, although I'd still recommend it, I wouldn't be too upset if you can't manage to get a reso here given so many other great alternatives.

Absolutely scrumptious vegetarian and vegan dishes that leave you feeling refreshed and satiated!…read moreAs a tapas style, the small plates are well-priced with the recommendation of ordering 2-3 per person and sharing amongst everybody. Note that the restaurant has rebranded to OAK Restaurant with a new website, but still has the same address and contact information. The menu is quite short with only a dozen choices or so, but each dish has the finest quality of ingredients and refined yet light taste. We ordered all the dishes recommended to us by the server and loved each one: - Nocellara olives (£4.75) - Beetroot tartare, smoked almond cream (£8.95) - Heritage tomato panzanella (£8.50) - Black pepper chickpeas, smoked cashew butter, summer greens (£9.45) - Jersey curd agnolotti, hazelnuts, spinach and butter emulsion (£10.75) Dessert was delicious as well: - Stewed plums, brandy ice cream, almond crumb (£8.25) - Dark chocolate and salted caramel tart, mint ice cream (£8.25) The restaurant was not that busy with only a couple other tables filling in after coming in for our Tuesday noon reservation. We were seated at a corner booth next to a window on the ground floor, which had a relaxing breeze coming through. The cost of five open jars of sparkling water was £3. A 12.50% service charge was added onto the bill.
