The Bristol finally opened its doors the other night, to much media fanfare. What’s the first-two-days scoop?
The consensus (er, the various info gathered from the two LTHForum reviews) are thus:The servers’ uniforms are a tshirt and jeans, which is confusing to patrons and a little out of synch with the menu’s price points.Despite their sartorial shortcomings, though, the servers and other employees were intelligent, friendly, and helpful.The portion size is small, but the food is good.Those much-hyped duck fat fries? They might (gasp!) be better than Hot Doug’s.Mixed opinions on the “nutter butter” dessert (two peanut butter sandwich cookies with chocolate fondue for dipping): either terrific or boring and not worth it.Now we sit back and wait to see which of the cadre of roving reviewers — TOC? Reader? Stew? Mr. Dolinsky? — hits the place up first for a review first-look report.
