Everything was delicious. Oysters, smoked trout pate, surf and turf. Service was a little slow but they were completely full on a Saturday night so no big deal. May be my wife and I's new seafood spot.

I heard a lot about Jules@market. When the house jazz band was scheduled we took the opportunity to check it out. The ambiance was great. A subtitled film noir projected against one wall while the jazz trio played against the opposite wall. We loved that. There’s an open kitchen design which really works in an otherwise tight space. One small minus is that it could be vented better. I came home smelling like food. Having said that, the food was exceptionally good. I read some reviews that spoke about small portions. My response is- if you want tonnage, eat fast food or at a chain restaurant. Jules@market is not that. Everything was fresh and on point. One drawback- most restaurants that offer sparkling bottled water also offer flat. I was surprised that Aqua Panna wasn’t available but Pelligrino was available. We don’t drink tap water so I was forced to drink carbonated water which isn’t the greatest for my stomach. Had I known I would have brought my own. Now the service- the staff was super friendly. I left over 20% because of this. But, to put it bluntly they need training. The food is great, the prices are high, the ambiance is amazing. The service should match but it doesn’t. I’m being specific in this review because I love that Bristol is changing and growing and want this restaurant to really really succeed. So here are my comments:1) when people put utensils together to the side it indicates they are finished and the plate can be removed. When it is open and food remains don’t ask to take the plate. 2) Remove all dirty dishes promptly- out bread dishes and used butter stayed on the table the entire meal 3) clear the table before bringing dessert. Looking at dirty dishes while eating the most perfect key lime pie detracts from the experience. 4) timing could be better. We waited 25 minutes for our appetizers and then waited again for a side after being served our main courses at separate times. Have someone follow the server and put the entire course down together. 5) Not once were our water glasses refilled by staff. We poured the Pelligrino ourselves 6) Never bring the plastic bus bins onto the floor to clear a table. That’s for diners, not nice restaurants. Use a tray to remove dishes if need be.I eat at high end restaurants and the service makes the night. That’s why we tip and don’t get take out, we like to relax and have a pleasant experience. I’d love to come back and have the amazing food ( worth every Penny) and have the service be more on point.The food is perfect, fresh, tasty, excellent presentation. The staff couldn’t be friendlier- really lovely people. The ambiance is great, quaint and inviting. I gave a five star because I think the service just needs a little tweak.UPDATE: After posting my review I was contacted by a man saying he was the general manager. I’m not sure how he got my phone number but I wish he would not have called. He was positively berating me about how my review was damaging, he had 15 people to keep on payroll, his family was from Bristol, and I just wrote the review to benefit myself. I could barely respond. He was erratic and attacking. It was off putting considering my teenage son was in the car as he wouldn’t let up and was on speaker. At first I tried speaking with him. I felt my review was good, fair, and spoke very highly about everything except the service- which others have critiqued similarly here on google review. After five minutes of him venting I was still trying to make things right and asked if I could make a suggestion. His response was very rude. He said,” if you make it quick.” At that point I realized that whatever is going on in his life- he decided to take it out on me. I was done. I said,” Never mind. Have a good day.”I later heard that the jazz house band who I was seen talking to was fired and told that I complained about the music. That’s absurd and a lie. They were fired as some sort of weird retribution or maybe they can’t afford to pay them anymore and used me as a scapegoat. Either way this restaurant is not managed properly.

I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. From the oysters to the avocado toast with blackened shrimp to the main course red drum, the preparations were among the finest that I have ever had. Our server was very knowledgable about the menu and the preparations. The environment is casual as you eat right next to the open kitchen, which was meticulous. . My wife and I enjoy eating at nice restaurants. Jules @ Market will be on our favorites list.
Janelle was an outstanding server! She was very knowledgeable about everything on the menu. All the staff worked together to make sure customers had everything they needed. As for the food, it was so delicious! Everything was seasoned nicely and prepared perfectly.

Probably our sixth visit to Jules@Market over the past few years. Best fish anywhere. Expertly prepared and presented every time. Service is always impeccable. Tyler was our server. He's been there for years and he's always very helpful. Prices are slightly high, but you get what you pay for. Worth the price. Only in Hawaii have I had fish as good as it is at Jules. Wife and I both had blackened red drum fish (I get this most times I go to Jules). It's fantastic. Started with "buck a shuck" oysters and wedge salad. Finished with their homemade key lime pie - everything delicious.

This is my fourth visit to Jules@Market and it is always amazing! We had a reservation and was promptly seated. Service was very responsive, our waiter brought the salads out before the appetizers but when we told him he quickly took the salads back and gave us the appetizers... delicious clams and shrimp cocktail. For our main dish I had the scallops seared to perfection. My boyfriend had salmon in an amazing sauce, and my friends had sea bass and tuna. All fresh in a special sauce. We ordered fingerling potatoes and broccolini a la carte. For dessert we had the most delicious key lime pie which came with whipped cream and a side of ice cream. My friend had bananas foster which came with ice cream. It was my friend's first visit and they loved it. They said the restaurant was “a cut above.” The noise in the room was high as I have hearing issues but I turned up the volume of my hearing aids and it worked. I'm 70 this year but keeping very active and enjoying life!!

Just another amazing dining experience at Jules@Market! My wife Kelly had the yellowfin tuna with wasabi butter. I had the exquisite Chilean Sea Bass. This place is never a disappointment, NEVER! Love the new view of the tree across the street!!! If you haven't been yet, you got to go. Or don't, leaves an empty table for us!!!
