Service
Pros:
"Staff were friendly and also gave us great advice for the M museum just up the harbour."
"Service not quite there, forgot some drinks orders and not overly attentive."
"Only downside for this visit was that we’d booked for a special occasion in the upstairs dining room but were moved into the main pub."
"Staff are very welcoming and friendly too."
"The manager is a great host who creates a warm, personal atmosphere as though you are invited guests in his own personal dining room."
"A big thank you to Odessa, Jess and everyone at The Ostrich for helping to make our private party at the Top Deck such a success."
"Bar Staff are Excellent and very Friendly."
"Great pub and good service."
Cons:
"Service and staff all quite helpful, food is average pub farye, two of our party order chicken burgers."
"Service not quite there, forgot some drinks orders and not overly attentive."
"Fairly poor I'm afraid, booked a table for a late Sunday lunch ie;15:30, the table was available and so we sat waiting for a menu."
"Went there at 11am as it was shown as open on Google. Politely asked and the staff said they only open at noon."
"Visited around 3 weeks ago. Severely unimpressed. Incompetent, grumpy, borderline rude staff and very very expensive drinks."
"The girl serving was awful. Rude rude rude!! I live next door and to be spoken to like that by her and her ‘friends’ at the bar is unacceptable."
"Our visit was a special occasion for me and my children, we hadn't seen each other for 26 months due to me living the other side of the world and the pandemic."
"The food was off pretty bad quality I complained I was told there was no manager available but leave my email address for the manager to email me back the manager never email me back because I believe they realised the food is pretty s*** t as well."

"Nice Sunday lunch, with an enticing menu."

"Fantastic food, well worth the price."
"Really nice food options and the service was excellent and friendly."
"The Ostrich is a beautiful pub right on the Riverside in the outskirts of Bristol town centre."
"Great pub and good service."
Cons:
"Possibly the worst service and food i have experienced in Bristol."
"The prices for food here are utterly outrageous."
"Expensive, even for city centre prices and you have the luxury of drinking out of a squidgy plastic cup!!"
"Worse pub ever. Outside is lovely but the staff is so obnoxious."
"The main meal was fantastic, and it was prepared surprisingly fast."
"Utterly disgraceful croquettas de jamon - only two for over £9; no hint of Serrano flavor or any ham flavor in bechamel."
"The tiniest portions especially for the premium price tag."
"Nice food albeit quite pricey with small portions for what you pay for."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"Nice vibes friendly stuff beautiful view of the river would definitely come back again."
"A lovely cosy pub. Great food and drinks selection."
"Went here for a night out with work colleagues. Its a lovely pub on the waterfront."
"Nice waterside location in a quaint old building. Beautifully refurbished in a contemporary chic style with clever nautical touches."
"Great pub with lots of history."
"Loads of outdoor seating including deckchairs, several outside bars so you don't have to all queue indoors to get food and drinks."
"Great little up right around the harbour, huge outdoor space with order to table facilities and a cosy indoor space for colder days!"
"It's a really nice pub with a good selection of beers."
Cons:
"It's an odd concept though as the pub seems to have been taken over by the brewery without them actually doing anything except setting up temporary stalls."
"During summer months, no drinks are served in glass (no change in price)."
"What an odd place.... Doesn't feel very welcoming..... You have to get your drinks outside you can only order your food on a qr code."
"Nice looking pub in a great location. I never actually went inside due to covid limitations etc."
"Positive is great location on a sunny day. But the app ordering is a faff and it is generally quite unwelcoming to go to a pub they'd prefer you not to enter."
"Great location and superb reasonably priced food."
"This pub has great views over the water, lots of seats outdoors, and great to meet as a group."
"The food was off pretty bad quality I complained I was told there was no manager available but leave my email address for the manager to email me back the manager never email me back because I believe they realised the food is pretty s*** t as well."
