The restaurant is sandwiched between a Good Earth shop and Good Earth grocer, so you can fulfil your veggie/vegan dreams before and after partaking of your meal. The selection of dishes is excellent. Quiches are simply magnificent and main courses at long last (and a rarity) demonstrate that vegetarian food needn't be a tasteless stodge, but can be stimulating, with a variety of interesting textures and a delicious combination of flavours. The restaurant (self service) gets very busy and it may not be easy to find a space but it's well worth a visit to complement your tour of this delightful city. Shame there aren't more vegetarian restaurants like this around.

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.

We'd been traumatised by travel, travelling en masse, tired with hunger taunting us in Taunton, we…read morewanted something nicer than filling up at a roadside filling station. We found a quiet atmosphere-free Free-house to decide on dinner. Bar-side with sweet cider inside us, we made a connection with the frontage opposite. A large comic font banner, a sticker in the window beckoned us to 'The Connection', but from outside we couldn't be sure if it was a restaurant or a travel agency, or even a dating agency. Then a lit candle warmed the setting under the aforementioned confusing banner. It illuminated a double date just visible at the window table. With each person looking into the middle distance they were looking like they were making anything but a connection. Hoping the food was more inspiring and afraid of the alternative offerings of only pizza or kebab, we edged cautiously over the double junction double quick to enquire. A Sandwich board outside announced it was 'Winesday', a free house bottle for every table. We went in. Entering we were heralded by pan pipes; a mix tape began swirling the comforting melody of The X Files theme tune around us. Before we had time to turn back our waiter appeared. Looking surprised to see us form a crowd on a weekday night, our jolly characterful waiter with Fawltless formality apologised for an impending slow service. Not in our best bib and tuckers however, he did seem a little shirty. "Do you have a booking", he enquired taking a formal tone (where until our arrival the place was empty). Grateful for the seats and that it was Winesday, too! The free house's choice bottle for the table more than made up for our non trumpeted arrival. Pleasantly surprised by their Chilean, I'm more than happy to blow their horn for their choice of a bold tropically lush white which complimented our food beautifully. It seemed we'd struck gold at the best place on the street. The interior of this French place was pretty snappy, all muted tones that spoke volumes that this was the town's 'nice place'. To start: My liver parfait was mousse like, light yet retained a rich smooth flavour, braced in crisp pancetta. I'd have enjoyed the accompanying brioche more but I'd buttered too much pre dinner pre warmed pumpkin seed roll to stack up on more carbs. The rest of the table were very happy with the beautifully fresh caught scallops to start, complimented by Southeast Asian spicing, but just a few of the blighters were a bit underdone for one of our likings. Not undoing the enjoyment of our evening, Seafood crepes, covered in grilled cheese were delicious but sadly the salmon within was as mushy as the concept of Parisienne romance that this French inspired brasserie was trying to convey. Also warned of the possible shot, the equally fresh duck dish sitting proudly in a pond of jus was rich and flavourful but as with any duck recipe it either needs long slow cooking to break down the tough meaty fibre or quick cooking to keep it rare as fine French food. Not offensive, but this duck was somewhat perched on the fence. What stole the show was the firm and delicate delectable lemon sole and the passionate enthusiasm of our attentive waiter. Not knowing what else Taunton had to offer, it was well worth one hell of a stopover. We wimped out at dessert, but it seemed that it was this course that kept the table adjacent to us who were out at at sea, back on course for a cheerful evening.

It is an odd location where there's boats all around and even a massive parking garage just for boats. Pretty unique place. The ambience seems a bit posh, but the staff is attentive and friendly. There's a lot of seating so you can pick your choice if need be. You sit down and you order your food on a simplified menu. There's not too many choices but enough and there's even some vegetarian options as well. The kitchen closes at around 9pm. We know this because after climbing on the island all day, we were looking for a place to go and as we came in and wanted to order food, it was a bit rushed since the kitchen was about to close soon. Nachos- they are sad and underwhelming. The tortilla chips are interestingly flavoured and seasoned with paprika maybe? The cheese is salty and loaded on heavily. The amount of sour cream and salsa given on the side is absolutely sad. It's a tiny thumbnail paper cup. Barely enough for a couple tortilla chips. Fish and chips- fish is okay, nothing that special. The chips are massive and chunky. The mushy peas are your average mushed peas. The tartare sauce is just as sad as the sour cream and salsa for the nachos. Halloumi and red pepper burger- by far the best part of everything we got. The halloumi is fried to perfection. The vegetables are a nice balance. The pretzel bun was too much breading though. It came with a little side salad and coleslaw. As well as the chunky massive chips. It doesn't seem much but it's pretty filling by the end of it. The amount of mayo given was the same as the other dipping sauces. We had to ask before they gave us more. Why not just give the whole condiment bottle? Overall if you are looking for a cold drink with a meal, this place is decent enough. Just don't get your hopes up. The ambience and the plating is much fancier than the food is.

We…read morehave done this on numerous occasions at the same restaurant as we have always enjoyed our meals there, today however was a disaster! It all began with us arriving 10 minutes prior to our booked time of 7:30 and were shooed back with the waving of hands because we were too early. We waited a few minutes and were shown to our table. Drinks were ordered and the gin and tonics arrived as gin and lemonades - perhaps an easy mistake and it was rectified so on to the meal. The 9 starters were all perfectly acceptable but when the main courses arrived it all fell apart. A senior member of staff walked out in despair complaining the staff were not trained and he could not do it all himself. 4 of us ordered the Tournados Rossini which arrived with foul tasting pate which when removed from the steak gave off a terrible smell so we asked the waiter to smell it. The outcome was that the 'chef' insisted it was fine but smelt like it did because it was duck pate this later became the fault of the Madeira sauce. Having had this meal on a number of occasions in Enzos, as well as being a trained chef myself, we were all fully aware that something was wrong... it was off! We asked to speak to the manager but the older man in the restaurant pointed towards the kitchen and when asked at the servery no-one in the kitchen the owners son, also called Enzo, did not step forward so there was no-one to manage the havoc that was reigning throughout the establishment. We settled or bill for the starters and drinks we had had and even left a little extra as it is not the young staffs fault they have not been trained but we were not paying for the main courses that were not consumed although they even tried to charge for the gin and lemonades we did not order. There were no apologies only excuses! We are now waiting to see if our insides are going to be affected but just in case I have retained two portions of the rancid pate for environmental heath if necessary! As a restaurant that we visited quite regularly being locals we will never return to now.
