Reviews - Giraffe
Reviews summary
Giraffe presents as a lively, neighborhood spot with a broad, comfort-forward menu and a strong drink list. Many guests praise the warm, personable staff and the inventive cocktails, and several diners find the food tasty and reasonably priced. However, experiences vary: service speed and order sequencing can be inconsistent, and some portions have been described as smaller than expected. Overall Giraffe comes across as a friendly, versatile place for casual brunches, group nights and mixed-diet menus (including gluten-aware choices), but expect occasional wait times during busy periods.

We were on a bus tour of stone henge and bath. Found this on Yelp with decent reviews. Did not disappoint. If you and your group can't decide what kind of food you want head here they've got all kinds. I had noodle stir fry w/ duck, another had a burrito, and one had a pizza pide. Everyone left full and satisfied. We also had the nachos well worth it.
We stopped in here for dinner but we were in an incredible hurry. We explained that to the lady that seated us and we were attended to immediately by our waitress. We both ordered the Grilled Chicken Club Sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries. The club consisted of grilled chicken, avocado, carrot, beetroot, mixed leaves salsa verde mayo all on a ciabatta. I found this sandwich to be a tad messy to eat as I kept losing stuff out the backside of my ciabatta but that also could have been because I was in such a hurry. Either way, the sandwich was absolutely fabulous and I would definitely recommend it. While in England, I only had the opportunity to eat twice at Giraffe but both dishes I had in both restaurants we went to were fantastic. I like this chain and the service we received at this location was second to none. They got us in and out in record time and I wasn't late for my evening event. Thank you!
I only visited this bar/restaurant for drinks after a meal out with my friend on a recent trip to Bath, but was very happy with my visit. I believe it is a fairly new place and not a brand I had heard of before (we dont have one in Cardiff! but I have found out it is a chain, so maybe will find more. It has a cool edgy urban warehouse type decor, and a great young lively vibe to it. We ordered at the small bar at the front of the venue and sat at the small bar area off to the side for a gossip and a chill before my train back. The cocktail menu was great, extensive and pretty ok price wise. The bar tender was friendly, chatty and helpful when chosing drinks. (We went 22nd March . It wasn't hugely busy there but seemed steady in the restaurant part. The food all looked good burgers and focaccias mainly so I would consider eating there on my next visit to Bath. It seems like a great place for a chilled night out with an extensive well stocked bar and nice atmosphere! And music that isn't too loud, just background music so you can actually have a chat! 4 Stars for now until I try some food!
I went here with a group of my flat mates my first day in Bath. We went in having no idea what to expect at all. The food was great. I honestly didn't expect it to be that good. Service was a little slow but it was okay since it gave us time to chill and hang out. I will definitely go again.
This place was pretty good. The service was just alright. Not the most attentive. So I had to knock it down one star for that. Other than that, the food was delicious. My friends and I ordered all lunch special burgers that was only 5.95 pounds (YES, finally something cheap for once in our lives in England). My other friend ordered the hot dog lunch special. Overall, it tasted like any American meal in England. The fact that it was in Bath made this place special. The interior of the restaurant was very mixed. There were so many different concepts going on inside, I had no idea what to really think of it. It was very cute overall.

We visited for my sons 3rd birthday. 3 adults had their meals 20 minutes before the 2 children had theirs. We had finished before they had their meals. 3 year old especially was upset by this and didn't understand the wait I had to chase it up twice. When it came the 10 year olds burger came without chips (we had ordered them separately) so I gave her what was left of mine. Another 7 minutes she had finished then the 3 year olds came. They'd obviously forgotten about it as it was far too hot so he had to wait longer to eat it. No explanation. Club sandwich- No pulled pork. Basically an over priced ham and cheese toasted sandwich. Chips finally came for my daughters burger after everyone had finished. Youngest barely ate as he'd filled up on my burger bun while he was waiting. Overall £75+ for a total disaster birthday meal
Service was fantastic; staff really friendly and welcoming. Food stunning. First time visit and will definitely come back
Absolutely amazing food and amazing service me and my girls had an amazing experience- I even left my shopping and the waiter chased me down the street to return them!!
Used to enjoy Giraffe, but was disappointed this time. The menu is much narrower than it used to be and the quality has gone downhill. My Ceasar Salad was mostly red cabbage. And the music was a bit too loud and disco for early evening dining. A pity.
Friendly welcoming staff and delicious food. The children’s menu is excellent value for money. The hummus plate was outstanding! Would definitely return. Thank you.

We had a special 2 course meal for £14 each I had a chicken skewer with Greek salad hummus and flat bread which was really delicious followed by a chocolate brownie strawberry and icecream well with the calories!!
The restaurant didn’t have our booking in spite of us having email confirmation. Offered us a table at the back surrounded by noise groups when there were empty tables at the front. Food was cold. Won’t be returning.
Visited Preshow tonight and very disappointed. The service was extremely slow as soon as the first food order placed no waiter/waitress checked our table to check whether all ok, or needed drinks etc. Finally, the attention for a drink above, but was so slow again that we asked for the bill before the drinks arrived. Had no chance to order Dessert as no service available and had almost two hours for a round of drinks and net. Will not be back in a hurry.
Good central location for a quick (could have been quicker with faster service) meal. Quite a wide range of cuisines: oriental and old favourites.
Good food, though the menu is shorter than it used to be. The chicken swinging kebab is both nice and photogenic. The music was too loud for us, but we're older than the usual clientele.
