Bristol Seafood + Steak + Social

1st time on the patio and our 4th time here. Seems like food quality has dropped slightly every time… starting with my craft cocktail, Son of a Farmer, for $22 it came out with just a cherry on a “toothpick”, no craft ice cube or orange peel. Just came off lack luster for a “Craft Cocktail.” My wife got the Bangkok Fizz and seemed to enjoy it. Appetizers, got the Paco Shrimp - perfect, The Lobster, Shrimp & Goat Cheese Purses - ok, the sauce was the best part, the filling was, surprisingly, a bit dull. Dinner, wife got the salmon, a tad overcooked and dry in the middle, risotto was great along with the shallot garnish. I got the Rack of Lamb, 1 of the 3 medallions was overcooked. I ordered medium. The Dijon sauce was a little broken. Mashed potatoes and gravy were delicious, wish it had more gravy. Service, overheard our server say to another table that she was new and it showed. She was nice but we waited a lot, especially when we first got there and sat with our waters for some time. We will come back cause there are other dishes we want to try like the lamb lollipop and steamed mussels, we just have to lower our expectations.

We had a great experience last night, one of the best steaks I have ever had! My wife had the Salmon and the risotto it came with was super clutch. The service was not to be surpassed however, it was wonderful! The server Mathew was super personable and engaging and created a very welcoming experience.
