I just want to say service at this location was amazing BUT some of the food was definitely UNDERWHELMING.
1. Caesar salad was amazing
2. Sushi appetizer was good but definitely overpriced for 5 pieces
3. Shrimp scampi was tasty but wished the bread was toasted instead of limp
4. The scallops were cooked to perfection but I kept getting bites of sand which was very unpleasant, like chewing on broken glass. The risotto was very bland and the plating left something to be desired… the plate was lacking balance and needed something to wake up your palette
5. The kids food was terrible , I ordered two different dinners and both were a disappointment, my daughter barely touched it . The sliders were veryyyyyy dry and tasteless, we had to ask the fries to be cooked a certain way because they came out so overdone …. And the chicken fingers were definitely not anything to be proud about . I wish the kids menu would have been a little more kid friendly… my 2 year old doesn’t want seafood or a filet mignon
I’ve heard such raving reviews I thought this experience would have been different, but it was directed towards brunch so maybe I will try that instead next time (or the creve coeur location)

If you’re looking for a new, fun and delectable place to try and go out with your loved one, friends or family, PLEASE COME HERE. You will not regret it. I swear you will get praise just for suggesting Bristol seafood grill. It’s been a long time since my partner and I have had such a splendid and fabulous evening out: service, hospitality and cuisine. I do not say this lightly, everyone knocked it put of the park. From hostess, to waitress, to our biscuit man, to the manager. There are not enough splendid, terrific words to explain our evening here. Our waitress Jill, my golly, what a joy and delight to have. Jill really made us feel at home even though it was our first time here. She guided us through their menu with exquisite expertise and recommended the lobster bisque and let me say without anything holding back, HOLY MOLY. I will be dreaming about that lobster bisque for years to come. And then, our good pal Nick, the biscuit man!!! came by and offered us fresh, warm biscuits straight from the oven with room temperature spreadable butter. The biscuits were so delicious and Nick, I mean what a character! He was so hilarious and elevated the entire atmosphere. My partner ordered the cowboy ribeye with grilled asparagus and the lobster Mac and cheese. He could not get enough of any item. He loves ribeye steaks but I have never seen him devour a ribeye like the one we were served here, and he couldn’t express how out of this world the lobster Mac n cheese was. I love asparagus but those disappeared before i could sneak a bite!! I ordered the king crab legs and before this, I really truly thought that I had experienced the best, but boy was I wrong. These were the B E S T crab legs I have ever had. No exaggeration. Bristol served me the most delectable crab legs. They were so tender and juicy and the amount of meat there was more than I could eat, plus the wonderful chefs cracked the legs for me so I didn’t have to fuss with them and make a mess of my dress. (AND my butter was served on top of a candle to keep it melty and warm, I mean WOW, talk about incredible service, I felt like royalty) And when I say more than I can eat, I mean it because I can easily finish off a 10oz ribeye plus two sides elsewhere no problem. The wonderful manager Steven came by and checked in on our food to make sure things were superb and we relayed just how incredible our entrees were and he seem extraordinarily pleased to express to the chefs just how much we enjoyed our meals. This speaks volumes to me because management really wants to ensure every member of the team, both front of house and back are appreciated and recognized. It was easy to see how invested every member of this restaurant was in how our meals were executed. Steven was incredibly proud and very invasive with our meal, it was easy to see on his face and mannerisms. No one was overbearing, we had more than enough time to enjoy our meals and expert advise on what to order. My partner and I have not had this much fun out to eat in years. We cannot get over what a spectacular experience we had from start to finish. We cannot wait to tell all of our friends and family and to get our butts back there to try all the other amazing things their menu has to offer.
Love Peace

It was my first time eating at this restaurant, and I HIGHLY recommend it. 👌 I ordered the shrimp, caesar salad, and cauliflower 😋. I'm from Texas, and it was the best shrimp I've ever had.

We had 9 people for Thanksgiving. So we understand it is a holiday. The place is nice. We had to wait over 30 minutes past our reservation. Understandable under the circumstances. They were out of some sides and rather than ask they free substitute the side. That was a bit odd for such a place. The potatoes were room temperature when they came out and the vegetables were very hard. Still had an acceptable time. Wife and I go to the other Bristol on Olive a couple times a year.

Bri was great, and we had an excellent meal. Definitely get the filet medium rare. It was wonderful. Carrot cake is unbeatable.
