Atmosphere & Setting
Pros:
"Such a beautiful, romantic place."
"Great views of the harbor (we sat on the roof but the inside dining room looked charming also.)"
"The top deck outside tables under the fairy lights canopy is such a pretty place to eat."
"Delicious cocktails and dining all on a boat! The boat is moored to the cobble path which leads to Bristol City Centre and is decorated with quirky furniture."
"A really unique and beautiful venue right in Bristol harbour."
"Gorgeous little ship. Loved the decor and setting."
"On a nice day it's possible to sit on the top deck of the boat and enjoy views of the harbour."
Cons:
"But tables were wobbly and spider webs around, probably a good clean up is needed."
"Cute on boat setting, very loud space so difficult to have a good conversation."
"Looks good from the outside, bit tatty inside."
"The only downer was being squeezed in between two other tables when there were plenty of empty tables around with more room."
"We were squished on a tiny table at the bottom of the stairs opposite the bar."
"The toilets were a state, one was really gross with urine splattered everywhere."
Food Quality

"The food is delicious! The tapas are perfect for sharing and the pizzas are all generous both in size and in toppings with some lovely, unusual flavours to choose from."
"The food was really really lovely, especially the halloumi from the tapas menu, and the drinks were fantastic!"
"The beef tapas was delicious as was the stuffed aubergine."
"Absolutely everything was delicious. We tried the anchovies, crab and Saffron Croquettea, spiced cauliflower, nduja and cabbage, and patatas bravas."
"The food was exceptional, great selection & tasted amazing - we had so many compliments from family & friends."
"Truly delicious food in a very unique location... everything else was spot on with surprisingly low prices."
Cons:
"Food wasn't special, some dishes were great but some shouldn't have left the kitchen (either cold, overcooked or simply forgot any form of seasoning)."
"A bit disappointing… food was decent but the plates were extremely small."
"Not perfect, not cheap and can get very crowded and noisy."
"Draught beer was good but the pizza was..... Hmmmm."
"dish is OK，portion is a little small for such price，especially the aubergine."

Service
Pros:
"Such a lovely atmosphere, friendly and attentive staff, superb food and reasonable prices."
"We were so impressed with the seamless service and great atmosphere."
"Service was impeccable; efficient, warm and nothing seemed too much trouble."
"The staff were great, the guy that served us was super friendly and the food came out quickly, pretty much all together and super hot."
"Service was very welcoming quick and attentive throughout our meal."
"Brilliant team! So slick and cohesive. Great location and ambience, food and service excellent."
"Exceptional service from Shiv and all the other staff."
Cons:
"Only minor downside is service - we ordered wine but it didn't arrive until half our food had disappeared."
"Bar manager was not particularly helpful of other bar girl during a period of busy service, which was unimpressive."
"Arrived and were waiting to be seated for well over 5 minutes, when we were sat we were told that the table needed to be free in 1.5 hours."
"Maybe we were unlucky with the service on this particular day however the waiting time for dishes were awful."
"Staff could have been more visible and hard to get their attention."
"We were served by a lady with dark hair and a fringe who came across rude and was quite clearly drunk."
"The food five stars, but service disrespect their clients, making some unnecesairy unplesant comments what takes the whole experience of being there very low."
Value
Pros:
"The prices are all very reasonable; for 1 coke, 4 tapas dishes, and 1 cocktail it came to roughly £28."
"Price of a meal can add up quickly here but it's hard not to add more to the order when the food is this good."
"The price is really reasonable for the location and quality, oh and the cocktails are great!"
"Had a great time and bill came to just under £30 - we had a soft drink each and extra bread."
"A lovely meal and a bottle of wine for under £50 !!!!"
"Reasonably priced for a city."
"Lovely atmosphere with super food at very reasonable prices."
Cons:
"Food was kind of expensive, little I may say."
"some items are quite expensive for what is it like the baked camembert about 12 pound but generally worth it in particular for the Chorizo & the Meat."
"I don’t give 5 stars because when we ordered the bill they added the “optional” 10% service charge where the waitress asks you directly and waits in front of you."
