“Service was great, even gave our flowers when seating for Valentine's Day. Only complaint was that I asked for rare steak and it barely even had pink in the middle but made up for it in the taste. I would've sent in back but I wouldn't want to delay my Valentine's Day dinner by waiting for a whole new entree to come out. Overall good experience would come again to dine when it's warmer out.“

“To the incompetent individuals @dewolftavern who stiffed us on the exorbitant take out Thanksgiving meal you provided missing half the turkey, gravy and the mashed potatoes we payed for and drove a half hour to pick up.... To the girl who insisted after my father asked if everything in our order was in the bag that it was, to your manager who was unhelpful and should be dealt with accordingly and whomever portioned out the meal should be reprimanded as well. Our oven is broken on Thanksgiving and your incompetence made it an even greater day. One of your incompetent workers should have delivered the rest of the meal personally #badrestaurant #badservice #shitcan #dontpatronize #furious @yelp“

“Super tasty bagels, great pricing and friendly staff. It seems like this place is super popular with the locals. The only thing I think could be improved is efficiency of the behind the counter staff. The wait for the bagels was insane, and according to a local is very common. I think he said “if you want to kill an hour, come to Bristol Bagel Works.” While we didn’t wait an hour per se, it was probably a good 20-30 mins with only 6 people ahead of us. I would definitely come back if I was in the area.“

“This lovely spot right on the water in Bristol was excellent in every way--the food, the service, and the great ambience. You can sit at a chair or table along the water and watch the sunset and the sailboats! Parking may be a challenge at times, but that might have been for us because there was a wedding at the venue the evening we were there.“
